Great Bass Exercises Using Pentatonic Pairs 

More fun with Pentatonics. Let's go!

Damn ! there is more and more to this our pentatonic scale. I thought I have seen it all and then here you are with another colour.

Thank you. And my condolences for your hard drive.

Mahalo again for the great lesson. I love how you come up with these tasty patterns.

Thank you for sharing this exercise. Very nice.

Sir i love how you explain the lessons 🎸🎸💯💯😁😁

dear Mr. Rich, that all makes sense....very hip, thanks!!

I love this. So simple, so damn funky. Thank you

You are an incredible educator!!!

A great way to start the day...fresh coffeee and a new lesson!I will dive into it.Thanks for the inspiration!!!Great lesson!LG Niko

Mate u explained that on my brain level. You are unique brother. Thankyou soo much ❤

This hit different! Off to the shed for some work.

Another great lesson from my favorite you tube educator (and i follow more than a couple). You really should consider compiling your stuff in a method book. I believe your approach is super valuable and unique.

Thanks for you channel my friend great lessons , great explanations , i am learning quite a lot ;)

Another great one! Thx RB!

Great lesson.

This is simply the best explanation of Pentatonics I've ever seen. Thank you...SUBBED

Great lesson Rich!

I know where your theme song is! It's playing around and around in my head. Loved this lesson and will be trying it out in a song very soon.

Kool. Love the way you look at this.....

Very cool, Rich.

I appreciate your teaching. You're one of the most complex and great sounding bassists, yet you teach such amazing "simple" things that sound amazing. An interesting dichotomy. You are one of the best bassists in the USA yet you return to the basics and spread the love. Excellent. ❤️

Mind blowiing sir now i realize the worth of my jazz fender Vstring , verry great

I've not tuned in for a while , Rich. Thanks for your teaching us in such a laid back manner. I have to get playing again ! Hope all is well in Toronto, Ont

I’ve only learned bass from listening to records my whole life. These lessons are opening doors . Great stuff

That’s a great way to look at pent. Awesome as usual.

Great lesson as always. Thanks again Rich.

Awesome! Thank you! Having fun practicing with you!

Wow great lesson. I have been playing bass for 3.5 years now and this is just what I needed to change up my practice.

Thanks Rich.

Thanks for the lesson! sounds really good.

Thanks, Good Stuff!

supercool i just discovered this just know and improvise with it , whats interesting i combine them with pentatonic inversions , sounds cool too. thanks for the lesson i appreciate

You've got some great lessons on sequences which I really appreciate. Amazing stuff.

I've been playing around with these pairs with the addition of the flatted 3rd in the case of major as discussed in your other pent lesson. Sounds super cool.

Hey Rich, great to see you again. Thanks for another excellent lesson, I really enjoyed this one. Peace and love.

Very cool! Thanks man!

Excellent lesson! I've been looking for ways to make fills and such sound less "scaley" or just hitting similar licks a lot. This is gonna give me a ton to work on. Thanks!!

Great stuff Rich! 😎 Very useful tools. I really ❤️ your Jazz bass and the tone you’re getting. 🥳👍👨🏻

Also, very very cool exercise ❤️🎵

Great exercise

I am really glad I found your channel. I am working hard on your exercises. And I really appreciate your time and expertise. Thank you

Always learning something really hip and useful in your videos ✌🏾❤️

thanks for this exercise & approach, Rich! It’s really helpful and a nice alternative to scalar approach exercises for pentatonics - thanks again 🙏

Interesting concept Rich. Never saw it played in that way. Very cool 👍🏻😁🎸

Hey Rich, I recon I have learned more from you in a couple of months, than what I learned in the last 50 years!

Thanks!

Thanks man. I'm stuck thinking about modes and arpeggios.... This will help.

Love this approach to Scale Tone Patterns! Super useful :D You always sound so amazing, I’d love to hear what you’ve got running into(amp/D.I., Pedals) Barring how obviously sultry that F Bass is out the gate ;) Hope you’ve been feeling better 🎵

Yet another great video. I would be curious to see lessons "specifically" for 5 string basses. I play your exercises by taking the D on my B string as the starting point (when it implies the G minor pentatonic scale), but I was wondering if you have any "specific" exercises. Thank you!

Nice one Rich. I just had to take some time off and I really needed something new and interesting to get the groove flowing again so mission accomplished. I can always count on you my friend.

1st view 1 St like 1st comment awsome lesson 🤟❤️

Once again another very good/useful technique building lesson..Bassist to Bassist great teaching..🎵

I've grown more musically in the last few months practicing different exercises I've picked up watching your videos Rich Brown than any other time in my life... Hand's down! Allowing me to navigate the fret board more effortlessly mostly by muscle memory! Mission accomplished!! You are highly recommended to all my fellow bass player friends! Thanks again & keep it groovin man! 💯🎸 ~JB~

This is just the clearest and great lesson on pentatonic. By the I wrote you hundred of times (even on Facebook) how can I have private lessons with you?

this aschalew from ethiopia . u r great teacher. love u

Great lesson, Rich. Good vibes to your poor hard drive! 🤕

Happy Easter Mr Brown!

I absolutely love pentatonics now. Try the Balinese pelog scale. It's like a pentatonic phrygian. Very very jazzy. I used it on a trance jazz solo one time. Oh man! Sounds like when Kenny G went a little ethnic in his music. Very nice as usual rich!

Rich Brown, my head just got blown the f*%k off!

Yes, Weather Report Jaco!

I have been practicing both descending and accessing on my own. But for some weird Reason never occurred to me to mix them in between patterns. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I picked up this exercise during the pandemic from an Aguilar bassist, can’t remember his name. It is a super exercise that can put your left hand to work!

Thanks again for more fantastic content. Hopefully that hard drive was dedicated to only a theme song.... :(

outstanding, thank you! hope you recover that smooth intro

You can download and use audio hijack to record your song from a previous video and then you can have the mp3!

Do you do private lessons? I am in Oakville and would be very interested.

🙂

Hey Rich how about mixing major and minor pairs? Huh?

RIP Brownstone Theme 🙏🎵

Time for a new theme then! ;)

Thanks for the tip, it's really hard to hear you..

I understand the system of the idea but I can't really figure out how you place the fingers not even slowing the video down

RIP hard drive

Can you recover that song by turning one of your RU-vid videos into an MP4?

I did fine with the minor but found the major more challenging.
