Funk is where bass really shines.

@741246 Год назад

As a guitarist who also plays bass, and is learning to play bass like a bass, not just a lower register guitar, these videos are great.

@GS-uy4xo Год назад

I’m fighting the same fight - there’s hope for us with people like Rich sharing such great nuggets!

@scotts653 Год назад

Like a bass. 🎣

@GOODTARGETBARTZ Год назад

Ha, that’s exactly what I’m going through

@rothloaf1980 Год назад

@@blessedbygaia6862 I'm a bass player also playing guitar. Using a bassist foundation, cool unordinary stuff came out of the guitar, then I noticed myself transferring guitar stuff back to the bass... cross pollenation is cool. I don't use a guitar pick, nor any fingerstyle guit technique. I use Claypool's technique. Try that man.

Same!!!

The funkier, the better. Always love how accessible these concepts can be.

Thank you so much for watching!

@element-dh9dx Год назад

Never inaccessible, only how much style can you give it ?.

@lewikono2781 Год назад

Sometimes you just go "oh is that all they're doing" I've had heaps of those moments learning the bass.

@5216philip Год назад

You are not only a great musician, but, you are also a great teacher!! Many thanks !

@arthur9924 Год назад

Love the smile on your face when you play that lick, it is funky! Thanks Rich, I really appreciate your approach to music and teaching.

True, the funky grin! 😊

I don’t even play the bass & I love the use of this mode

@mikeboracci7161 Год назад

I was trained by George Ortiz when I was 19. I'm 58 and still using the Dorian mode to create awesome lines. Seeing you for the first time today and you're teaching the Dorian scale just blew my mind. I love it. I'm now a fan of yours and I'm checking out your other videos

@bAgRiMoIrEsS.4 Год назад

My mama did use that scale during her time at College of the Arts. Most of the time during third period, classical guitar theory. SERIOUSLY!!! Also, I love your videos your articulate teaching style show us your grace and patience that's one of the great bass players out there today.

@richbrownbass Год назад

That's very kind of you to say. Thank you so much, and thanks for watching!

Got to agree with that. And add a blessed.

@tommyknapp895 Год назад

Spot on! As a bass player since the '80s, I have gotten a LOT of mileage out of the Dorian. Also, your phrasing is impeccable.

It works! You look at me with that stank face almost every time! LOL!

@davidloflin3098 Год назад

I knew that The Funkiest Note in the World was going to be featured when I saw this come up. I like how you tied things together with this one Rich, you're an outstanding instructor.

@BlackRootsUNLIMITED Год назад

And all in one spot, literally, not too much movement, yet FUNKY. I recall Chuck Rainey saying similar; "There's lots of notes under one hand placing". Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

@Muggfacepublishing Год назад

As a piano player, you know I can't play bass, so this is helpful, so thanks for that. I'll be thinking about this when I'm recording my next song, so thank you.

@Dennis-cv5tm Год назад

You're not only a great player, but also a GREAT teacher!

@robertdore9592 Год назад

This guys explanations are clear and concise even for someone with very poor music theory knowledge such as myself.

@NicleT Месяц назад

The light in your eyes and smile when you say Funk, it's priceless. I really love your playing and how you make a bass sound.

That's very kind of you to say. Thank you so much!

@DetroitMicroSound Год назад

Thanks, just for being alive! I'm building on dorian RIGHT NOW BABY!!! .....AND the magic? I'm a keys guy. Anybody with a good sense of swing at 30% or 60% can play a funky af D, on only the whites!!!! ....but I beg all of you.... dig down into those other keys, they make use of the black keys! ❤

@evantarleton1 Год назад

You nailed it once again, as always, Rich! Beauty (and serious funk!) in simplicity!!

@RyanonBasss Год назад

first video I've seen of yours Rich. This is the kind of bass content I've been looking for and resonate with! Thanks for explaining this

@megasoid Год назад

Love that bass line. Your tone is killer too, thank you.

@drewbirston6980 Год назад

Thanks for sharing this Rich, so funky!

@jackhunt9725 Год назад

the natural minor shows up a lot in heavy metal and hard rock, like the song "little sister" by queens of the stone age. I only mention that song because i was learning it earlier today and they utilize this "b6 - 5 - b3" lick as a lead in to the main verse riff. using that minor 6. Love the dorian too, and your tone is amazing. Great video 👍

@ianfoo Год назад

Great video! Very accessible, and excellent welcoming vibe.

@marcin-talarczyk Год назад

Great video, to the point, explained in a super easy way! Keep groovin! ❤

@marcharris1475 Год назад

This is a great lesson. The 6th is massive. You're touch and tone are great, I'm subscribed just to listen.

Thank you so much, Marc. That means a lot.

@mistersample Год назад

I appreciate your teachings. I look forward to catching more of your videos.

@StoanPhrogg Год назад

Great vid Rich! Your videos are so concise and always eerily adjacent to something I want to learn more about. Started noodling in Dorian on my own last month (accidentally played that major sixth while trying reggae) and this gives me so many more ideas. Got a big grin out of seeing you play that intro theme in there too.

@twangoldenbass Год назад

@EddieG1888 Год назад

Rich , I've never come across your channel before, but as a bassist myself, the tone of that Jazz in the opening has totally pulled me in! Subbed for more.😊👍 EDIT: Also wanted to say that your bass part at 7:38 is also very reminiscent of the bassline to Funky Broadway, as played by Tommy Cogbill. Its a choice of notes that is almost pulling a country influence over into funky music. Love it!

@ILikeToPlay Год назад

My man! I am a beginner by any stretch and just found you. HALLELUJIA! Thank you so much for this channel and this particular lesson - your description, demos and connecting of the dots between Scholfield, Prince and Paladino was impeccable. I love your simple yet straight-forward approach to both playing and teaching. SO INCLUSIVE! Seriously, your embracing and emphasis of the Dorian scale emphasizes it in such a palatable way that makes it easy to consume, work with and develop. Well done! Such an amazingly impactful lesson and thank you again SO MUCH!!! Peace & love
