Your lessons on pentatonic scales, using these three scale positions combined, are just incredible! After 20 years of playing in little boxes, I just had a lightbulb moment and can suddenly improvise up the entire neck. I've only been working on this exercise for about a day, so I can't wait to see what else I discover. I've never heard anyone else explain it this way, and it's really effective. You've got a donation from me and I would encourage others who found this useful to do the same. Thank you so much for the great lessons!
That means more than I can express, David. Thank you so very much!
Dude - your approach and manner to teaching make me feel like I'm hanging with a good friend. Great teaching style!
It’s really quite amazing how clear and simple your lessons come across.
Probably because you are thinking it clearly and simply.
That may sound trite, but it’s not.
A great many teachers have their ideas in their heads in a clouded and overly complicated way to start with - so that’s what comes across to their students.
It makes a difference.
It makes a huge difference.
👍👍
That's very kind of you to say. Thank you so much, Dane.
@@richbrownbass I love the slow and easy style but don't know where all the notes are on the strings...it's hard for me.
@@PalmSpringsDiva1 just get the shapes down first.
There are many bass teachers out there, but this guy is the best. His videos are easy to follow and his chill factor adds to the joy of learning new bass techniques. This video in particular is FIRE!
Thank you so much, Jason. That means a lot, brother. 🙏🏾
couldn't agree more ... all round excellent vibe ... lots to learn here
thank you Rich Brown
Been 20 plus years Bro and no one on RUclips explains things as clear and concise as you ! No bells and whistles and flashy stuff, just straight veteran education. Appreciate you sir !
Why is a guitar player watching bass tutorials? I got hooked because the teacher is so good. Love your enthusiasm and what and how you teach, Rich.
Thanks so much, Glen. I appreciate you tuning in!
Rich Brown. The Don. Any aspiring bassist that wants to advance their playing needs to listen to Mr. Brown.
High praise, Kristian. Thank you very much!
As a beginner, first and foremost I would like to thank you and tell you that I really appreciate these video lessons that you create! They are very informative, clear and concise. It’s nice that you inform, show, explain, then repeat yourself and show slowed down finger positions. It’s extremely helpful and keeps beginners like myself from constantly having to rewind and pause to try to figure things out. You have a great and welcoming disposition and I hope that you keep doing this and spreading positivity and confidence to aspiring musicians like myself. Thank you Rich!
Thank you so much for the kind words and the encouragement, Michael. That means a lot!
Not only you are a great teacher , but extremely polite and calm, make your student feels that everything is possible!, THANKS MUCH
Learning bass on my own after a few years of playing drums. I had been practicing pentatonic scales this week. Just scrolling you tube when the title of this video drew me in. In the middle of working through this excellent exercise, I looked closer at the thoughtful face with the calm, guiding tone leading the lesson and it came to me. "Hey, this is Rob Brown's brother!" Subscribed instantly.
Alan, I'm in the same place. Been a drummer for 40+ years and have benefitted so much from Rob's videos. Just found Rich and had the same reaction! Subscribed.
Your lessons are so clear and direct,they really cut through a lot of the jargon bullcrap especially for beginners,I've been playing for 20 years and I would be much better if I had lessons like these when I started,you had one video that sumed up something that took me years to figure ,you clearly explained it in a few paragraphs,then I felt like a total ass when you demonstrated how simple it actually was, seriously great music teacher,great attitude and very humble,man your voice is excellent,you should do audio books
Thank you Rich! After many years of ‘fooling around’ on bass, I finally decided to sit down and really learn something…I found your series on ‘modes’ on the SBL site and it blew my mind! I dig your approach to teaching, very personable…old dogs CAN learn new tricks!
YES! Thanks very much, Andrew. And thanks for checking out the SBL course. I had so much fun shooting that with Scott and the crew. I'm glad you like it.
I'm not a musician, but I play music. Videos and tutorials / exercises like this give people like me a chance to become an actual musician rather than just someone who plays music. Thanks!
Thank you very much, Joseph. That means a lot. Everyone is welcome here.
great daily drill, I also play with the grouping, adding 3 and 5 groupings as well, this makes the polyrhythmic effect (What Rich is trying to demonstrate with the 1 & 3 accents) even stronger. You can also apply this to any scale, find a 3-octave fingering of the scale, and apply groupings.
These are the kinds of adaptations that help to build vocabulary. Thanks for watching!
What a seemingly simple, but rich (pun intended!) pool of musical gold in one exercise. I’m diving in!!
Hey Rich, I'm from Brisbane Australia and just found you online today. Thank you for your hard work in helping us all. I love what you are doing and you are a huge inspiration mate 😊
Thank you so much, good doctor. I truly appreciate you tuning in.
You, sir, are one really amazing teacher. It's amusing to hear you explain and play and working that bass. Thanks so much :) cheers from Portugal
Thanks so much, Inês. I appreciate you tuning in.
Ok to there is nothing else to say other than this man is a true bassist and knows his stuff! As a bass player myself for 30 plus years, I've always said you never stop learning as long as you are willing to listen. Thanks a Bunch!
That four note exercize sounds like the stringa intro on Kuru/Speak Like a Child by Jaco Pastorius. Cool man!
YES! The strings literally play a 5-note ascending pattern on an A minor pentatonic scale. A great and fun (but difficult) exercise.
Thanks! Going through your pentatonic playlist and donating as I go…
This is GOLDDDD. Thanks Rich for doing what you do 🤘🏾
My pleasure, Allyse. Thank you so much for your support.
I've been falling behind with these video but I'm so glad to be up to speed with this one. Practise that sounds musical is the best.
I could not agree more, Will. Nice to hear from you, as always. Thank you.
I play piano and I’m taking up bass as my second instrument;however, these exercises can be adapted to piano. Doing a very good job 👏🏽
I love your pace of communication and your genuinely good vibes. Great exercise also ! Thank you my friend.
Awesome....!!!! Can't wait to learn that one.
I loved how that exercise turned into a cool melodic bassline. I recomend to play it with backin drums
I inherited my cousins bass a few weeks ago. As a guitar player I knew I would need to learn the pentatonic scales on bass if I wanted to learn. Your lessons have helped to have a lot of fun as a beginner to enjoy playing this bass. Thank you.
You are the Bob Ross of musical education. Straight up Stud. You have my subscription. So glad I found this channel.
Please keep making videos! Thank you for this
As long as people keep subscribing (and donating), I'll keep recording these lessons for y'all. Thanks for watching, Clay.
Rich, I am doing this exercise for a month now, it was very hard at the beginning, mostly because of fingering issues. But I took it slow and now I play it decently clean and without many mistakes through circle of 4ths/5ths continuously at 100 bpm. It has improved every aspect of my playing, but especially my technique and ability to solo and make basslines with pentatonic scales. I recommend the exercise to everyone and the advice I can give is - RELAX! Fretting hand has to be relaxed and fluid, until I relaxed it was impossible to play legato notes. Thank you so much Rich, for all the great content you provide to us.
That lesson was truly outstanding. Thank you. God bless. 🍀
Thank you very much, Cory.
Very cool man! You are a good teacher. Very eloquently presented. Almost get the feel of turning time around when descending.
Yes! The time does turn around in a way. But when you still hear the backbeat against that, it really changes the character of the sequence. Thank you for watching!
Rich, thank you for your clarity with your explanation an example. You make it easy to follow. KHam from Wilmington, DE
I truly appreciate that. Thank you so much for watching.
Thanks, Rich, Really amazing how you explained how the accents shift...Loved it. We love you, Bro🙏
Thank you so much, James! 🙏🏾
Much appreciated Sir...have a great week
This is a fantastic exercise! I just ran through just the 3 shapes shapes and I already can feel how the fingerboard makes a bit more sense. I gotta say, I also came across your course on the SBL site ages ago and loved it, even though it was a bit too advanced for me at the time. I love that you are on here now and are putting videos out there. Your teaching style is simple and so clear even when teaching something that can be complex. More please!!
Thank you, Mr. Brown. Your teachings are very sincere. Even if your RUclips “stats” aren’t comparable to others, please know that what and how you’re teaching is far more effective than those “others”.
I HAD to subscribe. As a drummer i started to learn bass (just in case ) . After watching tons of bass lessons I found this one far the best. Thanx !!!
Wow! Thank you so much, your highness.🙇🏾♂️😄
Do spread the word.
@@richbrownbass I sure will!! I"m from Hungary btw. Thanx again!
Brother I've been playing guitar, bass and drums since 1963. You have a great channel. Really enjoy it.
Thank you mr. Brown for sharing your great knwoledge. much appreciated!!This exercise makes me contemplate about being relaxed,patient,caring,some times only listening and being deciplined......so that is is a lot of positive work to do.
Greetings from holland!!
I think the qualities you mention here are essential for musicians who really want to reach listeners on an emotional level. You've nailed it, John. I'm always trying to play with this in mind, whether on stage or in the shed. Thank you for this reminder. Very important!
Loving Rich's teaching style! :) Tod in Vegas
Excellent, Thank You 👏
My pleasure. Thank you for watching.
Rich...I feel like I am in the room with you and you are showing me this Mutha of a scale. Love you quiet but intense style and bass knowledge and passion. Groove on.....Thankee
Oh man! You're so welcome. Thank for your generous donation, and congratulations on the success of your channel. I would love to be at that level. Cheers!
@@richbrownbass I'm a mandolin player but borrowed my bro in laws bass in December to mess with another instrument. Now I bought myself a a 70s Vibe Squier Jazz. Playing daily. Loving it sooo much. I read the book "The Practice of Practice" and it suggested playing another instrument other than your main one. The bass is helping me see things on the mandolin better...but all I want to do is play bass right now. Thank you on my channel. It took me14 years to hit 100,000 subs. Your channel is growing and will continue to with what you are doing.
Excellent presentation of a supremely useful exercise.
Thanks very much, Tommy. I'm so glad you liked it.
as usual, great concept and easy to understand presentation of the topic. I will keep sending the bassists here and spreading the word
My man! Thank you very much, Calvin. Be well, brother.
Thanks you once again for a very useful and creative video, always appreciated.
My pleasure, Dan. Thanks very much for watching.
This exercise has opened up the door for me, I haven’t gotten the 1/4 note exercise yet but I’ll get there, thanks Rich
Just found the channel. Awesome stuff. 1) the tone on the bass is beautiful.
2) sometimes you find a video that will improve your playing but it's a pain to memorise - this is it. Can't wait to get at it.
Thank you so much, John Paul. You'll get this, brother. I know you will.
Rich, you're a maniac. This exercise is EPIC!! Love it 🙏🙏🙏
Haha! Awesome! Thanks so much, Paul.
Oh yeah, this too is amazing..
Hi Rich,, just stumbled on your video thinking when I first saw it wondering what it was all about. Man, it is a treasure. Thanks to people like you using your wonderful God given gift to help others like me who needs it and was not sure where to find it. Thank YOU very much . Great exercise and well thought out. You made it sooo simple and fun.Thank you.
Thanks so much for these very kind words. That means a lot.
Way to go, Rich. Nice presentation, as usual 💥BASS ON!
Thanks Mr. Brown! Have been following you since the first time I checked on your lessons. I like what you teach (“it’s super cool, believe me”). Moreover, the way you speak, the tone, and speed, is perfect, especially for someone who doesn’t use English as the first language.
Thank you very much, Will. That means a lot, honestly. 🙏🏾😎
@@richbrownbass Voice-over work...You could do it...
@@markfoster_mkfbass Haha! Thank you, brother. I've been doing some work for JazzFM here in Toronto. I look forward to doing more voiceover work whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Very helpful! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
This has helped with my fluidity and movement across the fretboard, i cant thank you enough.
I'm so glad it helped! Thank you for watching.
You are great!!
Thanks from BRASIL!
Obrigado, Marcos! Thank you for watching.
Gracias por tu enseñanzas, son muy buenas y útiles para mi. Desde España, te saludo. Dios te bendiga

Hey man, brother Brown, I love everything about you’re videos. The way you explain, the pace at which you explain and even the tone of your voice is just very relaxing. Thank you.

It is technically free, but it's your donations that keep this channel going. 😉
Thank you. This is incredibly helpful
Hi Rich! Even though I just recently stumbled across your channel and feel myself like playing bass for a hundred years, I can't help to say... every one of your wonderful exercises is a real eye opener to me. Topic and structure are perfect to improve playing in many ways. I'm happy, greatful and am looking forward to many more videos of yours. You're cool ..
Thanks Rich!
Yessss Love it!! Thanks Rich!!
Thank you, brother. ❤️
This is great not just for bass but also for piano because you can transform this exercise to any groupings then also combine them to any rythem. Great eye opener.
That's so great to hear. Thanks very much, Robert. And thanks for tuning in!
6,001. Great exercises & perfectly succinct lesson. I'll use this. You're an excellent teacher. Thanks

My pleasure, Galvin. Thank you very much. That means a lot.
I've nailed it but only because I've watched this excellent video, thank you Mr Brown 😊 👍
YES! This is what I like to hear. Congrats, Andrew.
@@richbrownbass I notice there are 3 note cells mixed in (on the pattern change points) which create that cool rhythmic displacement. Works really well!
@@ajadrew Yes! That might be my favourite part of the exercise.
@@richbrownbass Yes...I'm developing the idea & coming up with some cool lines!
@@ajadrew I love that. That's the real goal for all these exercises.
“Isn’t that cool?” ….It’s VERY COOL! Thank you
