absolutely awesome as always

More gold! I will report back I really enjoy the E & A leaving the 1 off the front. Then the & 3 of the 2nd part in a Balinese pentatonic (1, b2, 4, 5, b6) deep fun on this lesson!

Brilliant video - very original teaching.

❤❤❤ SO SO SO COOL. THE SAYING APPLIES ASWELL IN MUSIC ED: I HAVE SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST. NO NO NO I TAKE IT BACK , YOU HAVE DONE IT A HUNDRED TIMES IN MY FACE. BUT THIS THE FIRST TIME YOU TALK ABOUT THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF CHOOSING THE CORRECT BEATS IN THE MEASURE. WORKING WITH A SEQUENCE IN SCALE GMIN PENTATONIC SOUNDS COOL. THANK YOU TEACHER BROWN.

Bro, I've been watching a few of your videos and I absolutely love your vibes. Your chill and informative with a smooth voice. Your basically the Bob Ross of Bass

How great is it to see you again Rich. Your eyes're telling me you had it rough. Here' s your friend and neighbour from the Netherlands. Although as a beginner on the bass, this is way out of my league, I learn with every video I watch and try to play along. So a big thank you.

Damn man, sorry you got sick. These have been two really trying years and your posts are always a bright light! Heal well Brother!

God bless u

Hey Rich, it's really absolutely awesome how you're breaking down the art of bass to such crucial core elements and help us all digging the very fundamentals in such a way. You've got a way for explaining that goes straight in the brain and the heart ❤ Glad you made it through this su...... disease and I hope you're getting really well soon!

Take your time to get better. It's good to have you back but don't go rushing around. We're all here for you.

Yeah baby! Keep those grooves coming my man, you are the truth Bro Brown!

Super talented

Super amazing great teacher

Thanks for this 16th series Rich, I am getting it under my fingers. I am also counting into tunes as I listen and finding counting sixteenths (swung and straight) cracks open the rhythm section in really enlightening (and groovy) ways.

Great lesson, thank you!

*amazing lesson sensei Brown*

What a great idea Rich! So simple yet so effective. It’s another example of why I keep sending everybody here

Great lesson...im trying to get better at grooving and playing different rhythms. Ill put my groove in the comments later. Thank you sir!

So sorry you had to deal with Covid! Very glad you're back and doing well. Very cool lesson!

thanks a lot I finally am finding grooves that I actually enjoy and think they actually sound good lol

You're the man...come on😎

Glad to hear you're back on your feet! Fantastic lesson, and I hope to hear some of that fretless Sting Ray in the future! Be well!

Finally back!💪 Glad u are well man,love your teachings. Thank you very much, stay well

I can't stress how helpful these types of lesson videos are. Just joined the channel, I really dig this. As a drummer, too, it helps me stay dialed in with the bassist when I'm behind the kit.

man! glad you are feeling better, thanks for the lesson!!!

Another brilliant bass tutorial, Rich! Thank you

thanks

hello Maestro! Great channel. Been a huge fan since Scott's Bass Lessons. Have fun btw im a doubler on stand up and electric

🔥 awesome groove,get well soon

Good to see you again mate! Just feel better, brother and everything else will come along.

I absolutely love grooving and your groove lessons are always awesome Rich. When I’m by myself on the bass I can groove out to a back beat. But I have some trouble grooving along with other musicians. Can you maybe talking about how to setup up correct conditions so that 2 musicians can groove together?

Really great concept, Rich!!! Hope you’re doing well after COVID. Keep on grooving!!! 💪

Hello Rich. Thank you for your real bass lessons ! I wonder why your metronome is only on beats 2 and 4? This makes the exercise more difficult than if all times were counted.

Love your intros! So glad your doing better. I'll make you a deal; you keep the lessons coming and I'll keep practicing the bass

Love this stuff Rich - so much to explore and really helpful in getting out of ruts. I'm using musescore to play around with this stuff which supports a playback mode. Pretty Cool - anyway the first thing I tried I thought was sweet: Staying with Gm pent, I got Bb and C on 2E, and 2AND then D on 3E and Bb on 3A and G on 4.....C'mon now!

I'm following you from France 🇫🇷, I subscribed on your channel. Regards from Paris! 😃

I think (1e a, e and 3) is pretty catching

Welcome back, Rich! You’re creating a new genre: Survivor Funk. One-e-and-a-REST!

Too funky in he'a!!!

1- - a - e a- E minor pent 100 bpm.....it pops along.

Hope you are feeling better man!

Missed you man!!

Wow, you got my sub

Wow😎 thanks! I don't know...is the three day lesson really such a bad idea?😁😁

Man. You look like you’ve been through hell. I’m really glad that you’re feeling better. I found you through SBL and love your content. You remind of a funky Mr Rogers if he played the bass like a boss. I mean no disrespect at all. I loved Mr Rogers and he was apparently a genuinely good person. Wishing you continued health and happiness

Welcome back! You were missed.... I truly hope you have no lasting effects from the virus that (according to some, still) doesn't exist.

You so smellie….Such a beautifully amazing soul/spirit you are

Not one “come on” or “uh-huh” in the whole video- that’s how I know you are still not 100%! Nevertheless, awesome content and presentation as always. I swear I’ve learned more from your videos than I have from 30 years playing guitar. I just recently started with the bass, and I’m so glad you do what you do

I'm stoked you whooped Covid's ass!!🍺🍺💪🏾🙏🏾🎸🎵🎶🎶🥁

🤯

I feel like if you read the phone book out loud it would sound good.

Then you will know if you've got that riddim groove and flow lisongpijam lol 😆

Sell me that fretless musicman please.

Great lesson! Could you do a lesson about how to get from intermediate bass player (stuck in one place practicing 2 octave scales, arepeggios, warm-up exercises, improvising and playing a bass line created on a fly to a backing track) to the advanced bass player and what to do, what to learn, what to practice, some theory to become advanced, some scale and arpeggio exercises but for the advanced bass player? IT WOULD BE SO COOL! And many people would benefit from this lesson. A genre playing lessons would also be GREAT for example how to play rock on bass, how to play metal on bass, how to play soul on bass, how to play motown on bass, how to play country on bass, how to play fusion (jazz-rock) on bass, how to play funk on bass and of course how to play jazz on bass guitar and how to start easily with walking bass lines and slowly become more fluent in playing walking bass (everything for intermediate/early advanced bass players) ! Could you please do lessons like this? It would be awesome! You are a great teacher and thank you for everything! I hope you will do lessons like these ideas I gave you in this comment. WE WOULD LOVE THAT! Greetings from Poland, Mike :)
