In this lesson we've got a VERY special guest... the amazing bassist, Rich Brown
Someone who in my opinion is one of the most talented bassists on the planet. Period.
And if that's not enough, he's an amazing educator too.
In this lesson he's going to show you a new approach to take when soloing over a 2-5-1...
And Trust me - it's awesome.
I'd never thought about approaching it this way... but after Rich explained what he was doing, it was like a light bulb going off - I've been shedding it ever since, lol!
I think you're... in fact scrap that... I KNOW you're going to love this lesson...
As always, see you in the shed...
Scott :)
PS. If you enjoy this new lesson, make sure to check out the brand new course that we've just released... "Mastering the Modes for the Improvising Bass Player with Rich Brown"... it's a game changer!

You hear solo,s by musicians and wonder where they get those notes from, this is the first time i,ve ever watched a musician explain how to organise your soloing over a II-V-I to make it as simple as possible and yet retain that precious tension and relief over both Harmony and Melody absolutely priceless thanks so much for this i play the saxophone as well as bass guitar so i,m finding new ideas all the time Thanks Scott
Yo Stephen, great to hear you enjoyed it man! :)
Quand j'entends ces solos, cela me décourage, je me demande si j'arriverai un jour, mais je continue à bosser, merci !

I think it’s not a matter of what’s really happening harmonically, but a matter of getting that same effect in an easier way.
D is the root of the II chord, the 5th of the V and the 9th of the I, so it’s a good note to concentrate on. That’s why the chooses it to play all this modes in D.
On the II (Dm7) he plays D Dorian, cause, as he says, it is the corresponding mode (same notes as C major). So no mysteries there.
Now, it’s on the V (G7), the dominant, the most tense chord, where he moves away from the tonic in search of more exotic colors. This provides him with some very jazzy notes. D Locrian has the same notes as C minor: Bb (minor 3rd), Eb (minor 6th or 13th), Ab, (minor 9th). That’s a lot of flavor! And D Phrygian has the same notes as Bb major: Bb (minor 3rd), Eb (minor 6th).
On the I (Cmaj7), D Dorian equals to coming back to C major (but emphasizing the 9th). D Mixolydian (same notes as G major), just adds the augmented 4th (F#) he likes so much.
I’m a classically trained musician, and this is how I understand what he’s doing. I hope I was clear enough to help those who didn’t understand it and that they can also start approaching their improvisations this way.
Can you clearify what you mean by he goes three 5th away in opposite direction with both of the possibilities? I got quite confuse about that :D thank you!
Hernán Renom
Hey mate, sorry to involve in conversation like this but D Phrygian have not the same notes like A major.D Phrygian is the 3 th mode from Bb major , which have to flats Bb and Eb. Hope that’s ok. Cheers
Ohh. Thank you guys. I got it now xD
Sidnan Dedic You’re absolutely right!! My mistake. I must have been thinking of D Lydian. Thanks for the correction. Will edit my comment. Cheers!
@Herman Renom, your explanation makes way more sense. I think it's more helpful (simpler) to know what the modes are related to the tonic key, not every chord--very confusing. Then, to emphasize a certain scale degree, just SAY that! I basically had to do all the work you did in order to make this practicable, e.g., playing a Dorian over a ii chord is simply playing Ionian on the tonic (which you were already doing) with the ii chord tones emphasized. At the very least, if you are going to talk about modes over a chord, keep it consistent and use the chord (ii on ii, V on V) you are playing on.
Yes, Rich is PHENOMENAL!!!! Not only is he an incredible bassist, but he's also a great instructor and a very cool and humble person!!! That's a beautiful-looking and sounding Ken Lawrence bass!!!
I was lucky enough to meet Rich. Coolest, funkiest bloke I've ever met, so down to earth and such a great tutor and musician
Man, when he did that D Locrian thing, I had to pause the video and take a moment to let my shock subside. Before I heard it, I was like, "What are you doing, dude?" But then when I heard it, it was BRILLIANT.
Michael Bradley-Robbins To me, it sounds terrible, but hey if what you wanted is dissonance that does it.
JoseitoEdlVodao Well, I do listen to atonal music for fun sometimes, so I guess it's not everybody's cup of tea.
You must be easily shocked
I'm a professional Bass Player I play all over and I'm a very good soloist, however after watching some of these guys solo using the different scales it has really taken me to the next level of soloing, once these patterns are learned you become a soloing king in any key... its crazy
lol
A great point of view, really inspiring to study new way to improvise, thanks 👍🏻
Duuude! Rich Brown is awesome on top of awesome
I know, lol! ;)

Dear Rich Brown,
I wanted to reach out and express my sincere gratitude for your RUclips channel dedicated to bass lessons. The content you create and share is truly amazing.
Your expertise, clear explanations, and passion for the instrument shine through in every video.
As a bass enthusiast, I've found your lessons to be an invaluable resource. They've helped me improve my technique, expand my musical understanding, and ignite even more excitement for playing bass.
Can you do more lessons on the very basics of counting against the metronome and in other lessons,cover polymeters and composing in polymeters like MESHUGGAH.
Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge and experience with the bass community. Your dedication to teaching and your commitment to producing high-quality content are deeply appreciated.
Keep up the fantastic work - you're making a real difference in the lives of bass players around the world.
With respect and appreciation,
Billy
Dude is sooo fluid. I love his sound.🤙🏾
A concept beautiful in its simplicity, and as always with Rich, great playing!
7:43 "...it's my choice!" LOL
😉
Rich Brown is the most modest, charm and friendly guy I have known, besides his enormous talent and musicianship...wou!! amazing bass player, I salute you master!!!
Digging on his channel to relearn to play well after a decade of not playing. His new beginner course is so informative. His voice is so calming and unjudging. Great person
Rich is awesome, both as a player and as a person!
Rich and Scott are the 2 best music teachers of all web! That's sure!
Mind officially blown! I'm trying his Rich's approach right now and it sounds awesome. Especially the dominant mode over the major chord. Scott's and the other instructors videos are always inspiring.
Great to hear you're digging it Scott :)
I learned modes years ago, but always kind of kept it one mode per song centered on the key -- plus major or minor pentatonic to create the color and tension, which results in a kind of boxy -- no pun intended -- boring rock n' roll sound. Had never thought of playing a different mode for each chord change. I mean, what can I say, incredibly simple but my mind is blown! Learning new tricks from the pros, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Joe, keep groovin' :)
Man, Rich Brown's my favorite!
Mine too Dale... MONSTER skills!
Yeah, my boys finally got my favorite bass teacher on the show
I know it's only a snippet of the whole lesson but this has made a lot of sense!!!! Lots to play with
Awesome! As every Friday, today you gave me materials to study for the decades to come! And thanks Mr. Rich Brown for sharing those so precious ideas with us, he made my day! ;-)
Thanks for tuning in every Friday - means a LOT! :)
Never thought I’d have a reason to use locrian... thank you!
Really? Locrian has always been one of my favorite sounds
How can someone "dislike" this video? I don't get it. It 's great!
Having read many of the comments I humbly add the following: There is a certain economy of having a single point of reference to serve as the root of the three scales played over each chord in this case D However, there are several disadvantages in this approach. I'll focus on the idea of D locrian for G7. First, to know what notes to play you have to know either that D locrian is the 7th mode of the Eb major scale or where in general the semitones of the locrian mode occur ( 1-2 and 4-5). By the way the same applies when D locrian is replaced with G phrygian, although G phrygian at least locates the root of the V chord. Second, focusing on modes draws attention away from the chord tones and their harmonic function. Whether D locrian or G phrygian, the chord scale corresponds to G7 sus (C no B) b9(Ab) +9(Bb) b13(Eb). All I'm suggesting is that the idea of using the 7th mode of the Eb major scale be paired with an understanding of the notes in relation to G7 function.
EXCELLENT
EXACTLY WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR!
Thanks guys 😎
One of the best ii,V,I chord progression... cool interpretations I've heard.. and perhaps, most importantly, He keeps it musical, interesting and inspiring 👍
The most clear explanation for get out the boring modal improvisation great man
Fantastic. Completely new approach to the 2 5 1 despite I studied it ages ago. Very refreshing!! Thanks Scott!
The coolest thing about this is getting an example of how a master of the instrument thinks about composing a solo.
I recently discovered Rich purely by an accident of the RUclips Algorithm. REALLY appreciate you having shared this!
Opened a new world for me. Thanks!
Very helpful bass modes lesson. Thank you so much, you guys are heroes.
I just reconcialated with modes. Wonderful stuff, the course is mind blowing.
Awesome! :)
This is foundational. When musicians get this, the world is your oyster!
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND KEEP PLAYING THOSE BEAUTIFULL BASS SOLOS
Holy shit i’ve never been so excited watching a lesson online!!! Cant wait to practice this next morning!!
This lesson is Gold ! Thanks Scott and Rich for that !
Ive been learning from Rich Brown recently, he is a really good educator.
💯💯💯
Thnk you ver much i'l try to use these on all my next bass solo's.
Damn! Great lesson and his tone so cool
Ahhh...I got it!!! To be no rule, still we have to start with the rule.....Tq, Mr Rich Brown!!!
Loved Rich Brown since 2004, when I heard him on the Autorickshaw - Four Higher album.
Rich Brown! My Man!!!!!
How can people possibly dislike this video? this is so juicy and useful, thanks Scott, great material as usual!
it´s just troll bots, don´t mind ;-)
or if youre triggered by the bad right hand technique haha... those tendons are rubbing his bones a lot
Most likely because the backing track isn’t provided.
This is some good stuff!!! Maybe one if not the best jazz bass or guitar (can be applied to guitar too) improvisational tutorial I've seen in some time.
Very informative lesson.
It makes so much sense to have the freedom of where to take the sound you want, but having a decent gameplan on giving the notes a certain feeling at a certain time to keep it semi-consistant.
Thanks so much! This is an amazing tutorial. Opens up the empty spaces in the improv arena.
Woaw,thats a masterclass,thanx for posting
I thought wtf, that s so obvious, why I didn t think about before... then I realized that just play D minor melodic on this G7 and u it s like u play Mixolydian #4, and it sounds really cool. Thank you Mr Ray Brown!!!
Thank you Scott! Very enlightening way to look at structure.
IMMENSE lesson thank you for notifying me!
My pleasure Vasilis... glad you enjoyed Rich tearing it up :)
Amazing . I really like the #11 . It just makes the line as sweet as candy . thumbs up
Great video. Dorian on the II was a given, but I would have never though of playing Phrygian over a V. Sounds great. Thanks for the tips.
More Rich Brown please!!!
Gonna mess around with this tomorrow. So cool!!!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks for sharing - this makes a lot more sense to me than the traditional arpeggio orientated approach.
waouhhhh c la classe ! really nice and musical way of playing. I'd have adored having a bass teacher like you, guy.
Regards from France.
I love this concept
that was really great! Your videos are very creative and fun to watch.
Great lesson and ideas. Only problem is D mixolydian is in G major. Harmonically speaking - In C major just use C Lydian starting from the D note. It can be confusing using theory ideas that do not match what is harmonically wrong. Just my opinion of course.
Sweet! I'm good friends with Ken Lawrence (who made Rich's bass)! He has his studio around the corner from my house (Arcata, California). We were in a band together for a while.
Ken is a lovely human being. His bass literally changed my life. Please say hi to him for me.
Chad Johnson I had a KL and I regret parting with that bass
Oh man too bad! I have a Moonstone bass I had made by my other friend Steve Helgeson, the guy that taught Ken Lawrence how to make instruments. It's so sick! Search "Moonstone Neptune Bass - AKA “The Space Bass” Demo". So sweet.
If you have all these scales and modes in the 5 and you can do no wrong, then just cop a feel. My eyes got big for a second, when he said Locrian.
This dude has hand dexterity developed like so much.
Amazing! Thank you very much. I have been looking for this information for a while. I would love to know more about this. Thanks from Argentina
Great musician, great lesson. Thanks Scott & Rich.
Rich Brown is insane! Im definitely taking these ideas on board
WHO IS THIS GUY ON BASS?? Man is he good!!!
Amazing solo thanks Scott's for sharing this.
I'm blessed by this lecture
GREAT bass noodling by Rich on those skinny bass strings!! Really good stuff! :D
Brilliantly taught AND played. Man....
great lesson! simple, powerful and practical to apply!
Very informative and educational, Thanks SBL
This is gold! Thank you!
Great lesson. Straight to the point (once it gets going!)
it was my favorite tv sound track too, and I could'nt watch it without being on time to hear the music of it. BIG UP FROM FRANCE BROTHER and by the way I love your impro, it is so f--cking lyrical.
Peace, love, & Happy New Year from Toronto, Canada. And thanks so much for your very kind words. Means a lot.
If you don't like the #11, we can't be friends...
True
Then I remember someone said that Jazz is about making the wrong note sounds beautiful and reasonable within theory, even.. and also Victor Wooten words about how he loves wrong notes as long as it sounds and felt good.. :)
Great video! Thanks!
Sweet I saw this B4 in 2018 it's still Sweet!
I have no idea wtf he is talking about Dorian etc - but still cool and good player
Michael Trovato Sounds complex but it is easy. Starting a major scale from different points (not just the route) gives us ‘modes’. They each sound different even though they each use the same notes, the spacing between notes causes this. Each mode has a silly name.
This guy has spent some time working out what modes from different keys work well over the chords. That’s all.
Google modes and you’ll get it.
Rick looks like he could be a good police officer. The kind to care about kids and remind them to stay of the streets.
Rich did it yet again 👏👏👏👏
great vid
Thank you so much for such knowledge!
Awesome lesson. If you're taking requests on new bassists to interview or get to teach a course, give Anthony Crawford a call. He's a freakin' MONSTER. Cheers!
Yes man - he's a killer player!
This is awsome mr.scot.... So coollllll... Thx sir
So BEAUTIFUL concepts papa
Thank you
Wow... this is tricky and amazing.
Someone needs to start manufacturing fancy colored designs on those special gloves. I know why you wear them as you've explained it before. I was just thinking how cool it would look if there were color schemes with impressionist designs like red, white, blue, lightning bolts or whatever. The design opps are endless. It would look so much cooler.
Really cool tips!
Beautiful lesson.
So cool. I loved it !
Very inspiring lesson. Thanks rich. :-)
Thank you.
Thanks you so much Scott
RICH BROWN!!!!
clear. thanks !!!
8:20 tho! 😲
The concept is great and he is an awesome player but I fell there is not enough space to let you hear the concept come to life.
