Beautiful Chords on BASS using TRIADS 

Wish I discovered this channel sooner 😭🔥, Mr Rich Brown is inspirational in many ways, I try to consume his content daily and I learn a lot of new concepts everyday. 👏🏿, the best bass channel imo.

Thanks for teaching not only how to apply theory but also our soul to the music, to the instrument. Much love from Turkey, sir.

Rich Brown! I LEARN something EVERY time I take in one of your videos. I swear most online “bass instruction” videos are just guys demonstrating things in language you’d only understand if you already know it. That’s not teaching! I’m not someone with a lot of time left on my clock anymore, and every one of your lessons I have watched turns on a light in a room that was previously dark to me. I just don’t know how else to say thank you.

Hey brother...your a great teacher ....I've been playing ...learning the bass all my life... Always up for new ideas... But you my friend really make it easy to follow..it's been amazing for me to at last find the kind of bass player/teacher that I click with ...thank you so much for sharing your time & knowledge...it's priceless! Thanks again from a brother from the UK.

Wonderful how you slow the instructions and information down to grasp the concepts.

Anyone looking can find the knowledge nuggets inside the Brownstone. Thank you for another great clip!

Rich I like the way you teach Bass guitar.

This is the Trinity Of triads in this series, and we are moving in 3rds? How Cool Is That ?!!?!!

I listened, I got it thanks rich for getting me out of the "can't play chords rut"

Rich as always very cool you have such a relaxed meditative approach to playing I love to listen to your explanations it evens me out like musical yoga thanks my man

I use triads especially when I play at church. Very unorthodox but it adds flavor

Different feelings with the same notes, just great approach

Man the money I would pay to get to see that!! 😍🙏

MR RICH BROWN SIR PLEASE SHOW US HOW YOU SET YOUR EQ ON THE BASS..YOUR BASS SOUNDS AWESOME!!

Great lesson rich !!!! Wonderful tone from your bass with the chords. You have magic fingers , can’t wait until the next episode. Thanks so much for you lessons

Thank you very much for sharing. May you always have a fruitful Blessing.

very helpful/insightful for me. thank you

Now i know! 🤯 Thank so much! loud and clear sir what a great teacher.

Thank you! You make Simple things beautiful and useful! You are Great!

Oh man this is great! I've always used the double stops using the 10th and I love them. It never occurred to me to use the 5th, let alone the inversions! I've got some beautiful Triads to practice. Thanks again Rich!

Thank you for being genuine. I spent about a month in a slump but back on track with learning bass and finding JOY. That's one of many things I love about you, you share the sheer joy of the instrument and the sound.

Exellent! Thanks!

Totally engaging and inspiring, your subject matter and delivery of instruction is just too perfect, your appreciation of it all is an uplifting experience in itself..bass chords are beautiful, thank you for bringing this out..absolutely love your bass too, your tone is awesome and the sustain your getting is exceptional..much appreciation..

Verry Cool Ideas! Thank you!

This one is a stretch for me, have not started wtih chords yet and have really wanted to. Great way to exerice the chord muscles.

Thanx 4 Ur Kindness & Humilty bro

Very useful approach. Thank you:)

Great Channel. Your making me think about bass playing in a different way.

I love your lessons

Hey man, totally appreciate the way you share these gems. 🎶🔅🔆🔅🎵

Nice teaching mr brown this lesson has made alot of sense to mi

Like the Bob Ross of bass. Love it!

Oh man! I wish I'd have watched these in order. I thought this was the 1st video introducing triad inversions. I'm thinking practice this BEFORE working on the 2, 5, 1 progression. Makes so much more sense now. Great instruction, Rich!

Wow, I've been missing out on so much of the beauty of these simple chords! I have something new to drill for the rest of my days. Your style of bass education couldn't be much better, Rich. Thank YOU from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you

My brother, your teaching is like music to my soul. Many, many thanks.

The Last Couple minutes of your lesson was very awesome. Amen to "everyone feels" thank you for everything.

I’ve never seen anybody explain this as simple as this

... you are just one of the best pedagogue I have seen !! Thanks for that !!

I had skipped this lesson....Mistake. Knowing what a maestro you are with chords I should have known it would be a good one. Very enjoyable and learned a lot. My chord game was weak and it's better than it was an hour ago. Thanks Rich.

You're awesome Man

Love this!!!! Love you!!!

Thanks a lot Rich for your answer !! Your way of enjoying the sounds coming out is also inspiring... I notice now that I'm sometimes practicing without taking enough attention/time to the beauty of the sounds produced... (like a trip to a mountain without taking time to stop and watch the beautiful landscape)... So thanks again for the nice trip you are sharing with us... I won't miss any lesson ! Cheers from France.

Great thanks from France. " Merci beaucoup"!

I want this man to narrate BBC nature shows. And supply the score. I would watch that on the radio.

Thank You Rich!!!! You are very Appreciated Brother. I’m a self taught bassist who’s been playing for many years but realise there’s so much Thats missing in my playing. I am so glad to come across your channel, your teaching style is so comfortable and easy to follow. I look forward to viewing all of your videos. Please let me know where to send my donations.

Man, your channel is so meaningful, Rich. I stopped playing bass for several years and am so happy to be back to it. Playing chords on bass has always been a way I connected with the instrument, so I love this lesson. The way you take a moment to appreciate the beauty reminds me of Kenny Werner’s book Effortless Mastery, I recall he talks about appreciating the sound. I didn’t really get it when I read that book 15 years ago but I get it now. Thanks Rich 👌🏻

Never disappointing big brother!... Thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you so much I am learning so much from you. I play by ear also. And I know some theory but now I understand it. I play 4 a 5 and a 6 string. Been playing over 20 years on ear and knowing my fret board. Please cover so things to know about 5 string. Thanks again. Sharriyf

bro you are so good this is one of the best truly opening my up my thought process 💪🏾💪🏾

My ears are in ecstasy. Thank you for this lesson.

Not cheesy at all bro. LOVE this.

Love your channel! So informative and relaxing! You're the Bob Ross of bass!

Just amazing stuff sir. I'm a bass teacher in a local town bass academy myself and always get new ideas watching you.any tip to explain the easier way the rule of 5 and 4 .thanks

God has placed it on my heart to ask you to never stop Empowering His Children, Which We All Are, No Matter What Our Ages! You are a Great Blessing To Us All, & You Shall Reap Many Harvests, because As Long As The Earth Remains, There Will Always Be Seed Time & Harvest! The way that you are Teaching Is Easily Understood, and that makes it Priceless! God Bless You & Your Family Always!!!🙏🙏❤️❤️

Hey, remember when a certain someone we use to teach for in Pickering Village said “good luck” with your music career. You’re crushing it!!!

Ace!

I love your music. I am not a bass player per se but I bought a fretless UBass and I'm out of ideas. Not anymore and hey .... "In Ottawa" ??? Wow. I'm in London, On.

Even when I know something fairly well, you always have more great stuff to add to it! I miss Ottawa, I got to play at the NAC once, it was a great experience :-)

Ok time to make a cup of tea :)

Thanks Rich! I’m jumping straight on my bass to try those out. Didn’t know you lived in Toronto. Great city!!!

❤️

OK, This lesson is INSANE!!!!! I love how you break it down and make it easy to grasp and get your fingers around it. BRILLIANT!!! P.S. You and Larnell Lewis together is EXPLOSIVE!!! It's like the NAME of the song from back in the day from Stacy Lattisaw and Johnny Gill, Perfect Combination !!!

Thank tour, Mr.Brown! You are realy helping me. I'm sory for my english 🤭

Dayum, u playing with Larnel ?.. that's no joke!

Rich - Would you PLEASE do a video on "voice leading" on bass? I have difficulty with understanding the "thinking" behind it all. I could even be persuaded to donate! I really connect with your teaching style, and would benefit greatly in my playing if you would share what you know on the technique. Thanks!

In music college we inverted 7th chords also on piano for training.

Instead of Ottawa I heard "auto-wah" 🤭 Greetings and cheers to you Rich

Those chords are harder to play on a 4-string. The string spacing is wider. Since I have smaller hands, I need get my hand strength up. Do you have any exercises for getting my pinky finger stronger? Thanks for all you’re giving Rich! :)

Thanks, Rich... this is very helpful! Question... is there a rule of thumb for when inversions can be used, or when they shouldn’t be used? Or are all inversions always available regardless of the chord progression (ie I V vi IV)?

thank you for the great videos.. whats the string spacing on that bass at bridge ? 17mm 18mm?

i know we're not there yet, but I recently learned that bass chords are usually the 1, 3 and 7 since the 5th has a lot of redundant overtones with the root. Triad chords sound muddy to my ear i think because of the 5th

hey man just wondering are you giving lessons virtual or in person ????? love your channel bro and keep it up.

the think I get caught up on is the Fingering of these shapes and chords. How do I know if I'm right or wrong with the fingering?

How about G major& it's relative minor, E

Bob Ross of Music Theory!

What brand/model bass are you playing?

Sir can I ask a question 🙏?

Which string guage did you use in this video, my neighbor?

Wow I feel same way. Just don't feel inspired.
