Just so your aware that since the switches to AI ,I am getting subtitles that covers your whole fretboard so when you say to watch your fingers I can't
Rich, what is the “Members” tab for in the Comments section? I’ve seen something like “Only members can comment” in YT, but I can’t make the connection. How does one become a YT member, and what is its purpose?
Could you plss make a tutorial for the bass solo part of the song zariya by a.r rehaman plsssss I would really appreciate itt. Guys in the commet session plss help me reach this message to him!!!
❤ You lesson are so easy to pick up quickly. It is amazing that teaching in a slow deliberate manner is so much better that a teacher who wants to impress you with his skills rather than teach. You are the best.
You are an amazing teacher. you take your time you speak slowly, clearly. your moves on the neck of the base are slow for us to follow. You really take into consideration those of us who are truly beginners not like other teachers I have seen on RU-vid who go so fast you don't even know where their fingers are being positioned. So thank you very much. You are greatly appreciated.
Thanks again, Rich. I knew this exercise, but I don’t remember if I learned it from you. I don’t normally play one finger per fret-I played DB first-so I usually do this exercise as 1-1-3-4 twice, then 1-1-2-4 twice. That’s what’s in my memory. I sometimes switch to one finger per fret as I move up the neck, but for the stuff I play, I’m mostly on the lower frets, and DB fingering works for me.
Unreal - You Just Dropped A Bomb On My Little Brain - This Makes Perfect Sense And Its Been There All Along - Your Smooth Approach To This Tutorial Is What Makes It So Flipping Hip - And Noodling Around There And Transitioning Into The Intro Was Brilliant - Well Done - I Appreciate Your Efforts With The Channel Go Team Human , Cheers
Grazie,lei ha un modo di spiegare unico,forse il migliore di tutti qui su you tube. Volevo farle una domanda,io sono un principiante e non so come organizzare e cosa studiare in un ora di studio giornaliero,mi può aiutare ,grazie .
This is an EXCELLENT EXERCISE similar to what Patrick Pfeiffer shows in his fantastic book Bass Guitar for Dummies but your method seems easier if I remember correctly!!! Thank you for ANOTHER FRETBOARD GEM!!!
YOU, are AWESOME Sir. This was incredibly useful and I am so grateful for you taking the time to graciously bless us with quality teaching. Amazing. This made so much sense and was a great link for a beginner (ish) like me. Thank you and I hope you’re blessed to the fullest. 🙏🏽🖤🎶
Hey Rich, this lesson is a breath of fresh air! Most videos dealing with two octave scales on a 4 string bass employ akward hand shifts. Using the upright bass approach (no ring finger) and shifting on the 1/2 steps solves this problem. For G major I like to play exactly as you did, EXCEPT instead of 1-3-4-shift (abcd) on the D string, I play: 1st finger(A) 2nd finger B shift 2nd finger to C, 4th finger D, then continue up to the G string as you did... I find that this works on any mode as well. I find that by omitting my ring finger on the E,A&D strings while employing finger shifts on the half steps, and then reverting back to one finger per fret positioning on the G string allows me to play two octave scales in any mode WITHOUT the akward hand shifts. In my view no finger should have to shift more than a half step.
Keep in mind that every musician is as unique as their fingerprints That being said , I encourage all to pursue to be the best as they can and don’t worry about the dog that barks at your wheels as you pass by
I started with 4strings and soon was reaching for lower notes, so I have a 5 now . The 6 has an open B for the extra low bass notes and the 6th for extra high notes More options is what it’s about If you’re content with 4 , jolly good ! If you want more options, go for it !!!
Super stuff Rich, really clear explanation, great lesson. Quick question if I may, is there a reason why covering 1 3 5 shift as opposed to 1 shift 3 4? Like an upright. Not a criticism at all, I'm sure you can do either :) Is there a pedagogical reason or perhaps you've observed students have more success with this? Appreciate all you do, Thanks Chris.
I find this 1 3 5 shift motion much more fluid than playing one note and immediately jumping a whole tone. For me, this feels better under the fingers.
The first minute of this vid was a treat! The rest...well, i'll put it like this: i began playing bass 40 years ago, so by now i can say i'm not a newbie and not too poor a bassist. All the same this video of yours gave me something new to work on! Thank you Rich, your videos are ALWAYS useful! Keep up this hard, sterling work!
“1-3-5-shift”, I was practicing a similar movement today and like a guardian angel, Rich Brown came in clutch 😮💨👏🏿. now I’ll polish my fretboard shifts.
