The Most Beautiful Sequential Exercise 

I have said this again and again...your channel is not the biggest or most popular out here, but your lessons are absolutely the best. This is like a gold mine waiting to be discovered by many. Keep up the excellent work Rich, and thank you very much for the amazing insights.

These are the BEST lessons on youtube. Thank you for doing these - my playing has already improved.

Exercises for those reviewing: Ascending/descending sixths in major scale - 6:34 Alternating - 8:19 Ascending/descending sixths in minor scale - 11:17 Alternating - 12:00 Alternating series of sixths (major then minor) - 12:59 In G with 150 BPM metronome - 14:51

What a great exercise, but the way you taught it was amazing! Thank you for this channel. You are a gift to the world.

This is the best bass channel

I can't agree with Emmanuel enough. Sir, it is only a matter of time when you get more subscribers. Your presentation is right on point. Your explanation is right on point. Your exercises are right on point. Great video. Great instruction. Can't wait to receive more knowledge. Thank you.

It is a pleasure to learn from you. You are so mellow and humble. I learn something from you each and everytime I watch your lessons.

From Rockford Illinois. Had played since 14 years old and gigged for about 4 years in there until the band I was in fell apart. After tasting the stage and realizing it was over I turned away from playing and practice. Sending a thanks for the inspiration to pick the bass back up and rekindle my commitment to the thing that melts all the bullshit away. An 8 year hiatus is over and while I regret losing all that time to work and improve, it feels so good to be in love again!

I love you editing Mr Brown... adds a lot to the enjoyment of watching your lessons! Not to mention your teaching ability and how you lay all the info out clearly. I could go on and on... I love your channel and bass lessons. Will support you monthly! Thank you sir!

Thank you. I can now do this at 120 bpm with no mistakes after practicing daily for at least 30 minutes for the last 5 days.

Watching to learn more from South Africa here to learn from u sir

A beautiful way to use the number patters to learn the neck and loosen up. Thank you.

You remind me of classic PBS television. Your lessons are an experience that I carry with me for life, and i am always left with a deep calm and peace. Bob Ross had that effect on people, I hope you get what I mean. Thank you 🙏 for taking the time to put these lessons together for us all

Pure gold "shape and sound"!!!

Brother I can't thank you enough for all this good information. I have recently committed myself to getting back into playing bass' been practicing everyday feeling really lost on how to go about it' but then I found this channel and it has been such a blessing man thank you. Keep giving as generously as you have received it will come back to you much love

Whoa, so kool! Thank you Rich for these exercises and sounds!

That was wonderful Rich.Great teaching.

Thank you so much Rich! There is something very special about you and your teaching style. You are calming and yet challenging and encouraging at the same time. When I first saw this lesson this is how I felt 🤯! I've watched it several times and just couldn't do it. So tonight I decided to chart it out and write the numbers down as you suggested. It was very slow at first but I got it! I see the importance of learning this and will work on it every day! You are so kind to share these lesson in such a great way, so easy to understand! Thank you again Rich! Blessings to you!

My bass teacher always gives me homework and its always one of your videos, i feel myself getting better just by listening to these videos. Thank you!

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

Mr Rich, as always a great lesson, that is gold! Thanks for your help, and salutations from brazilian bassists !

Love your stuff! I started playing bass last year and i'd heard your name mentioned in a few videos but i didn't have a chance to check you out until a month or so ago when i did your modes course on SBL. I always struggled with that stuff before but you make it fun and i like the way you think about things just works for me so i've mostly just been working on that lately. Thanks!

Fantastic! Thank you!

Hi Rich! I've dedicated my Sundays to en(Rich)ing my bass vocabulary, and spend most of my Sundays here when time allows. I can't say with honesty that I get every Sunday in, but today I got a couple hours to explore your videos. This particular lesson was a struggle when I first watched. I lack dexterity in my left pinky and ring finger separation, and this exercise is a monster. More so with my brain trying to get the descending lines down, and the string skipping with the two fingers. I finally got comfortable with it, but haven't attempted the minor scale part. I just wanted to say thanks for the lesson, and thanks for helping me to improve. I so appreciate it! Peace.

Thanks for this, Rich. Loving these exercises. I appreciate the simplicity and complexity that they inspire!

Great lesson, it will make practice sound beautiful. It's a real brain & finger teaser too when starting out

This is really amazing! Thanks Rich!!! 🙏🏻🔥

your teachings are so much more in depth than most others here. Thank you, Thank you!!!

I am so thankful that I caught the interview you did with Talking Bass that led me to your channel, and therefore your lessons; lessons that are provided in a calm yet meticulous manner. Thank you, from London ✌🏼

Love your lessons, so well-constructed. I also spend time watching your right hand technique. Great tone too.

Thanks for another great video. I stumbled upon your channel the other day and have been bingeing your videos since. Been playing bass for close to 40 years, but have gotten a lot of great ideas from how you break things down. Good stuff, sir. I know you'll have a gazillion subscribers to your channel before long.

Great job! I've been playing professionally and teaching bass for almost 40 years and I just want to compliment your wonderful videos. You're doing a wonderful job of presenting the information here! I loved this exercise and admire your teaching style. Keep up the great work!

brilliant lesson again Rich, filled with humor & enthusiasm, makes exercises more enjoyable and not so much of a chore

I always look forward to your videos, so inspiring and motivating. I particularly like the ones with rhythmic exercises, a very under taught area of bass playing IMO. Thank you for taking the time make the vids ♥️

The Tab system is nice. I know it's helping me. Thanks

Nice job,Rich👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

i really love the way you explain this exercise, i find it so interesting to start stretching my fingers to improve my playing style. thanks to you Mr. Brown, you're the man of bass :)

Rich, I've been playing a looong time and kind of lost my drive, seemed to be kind of stuck. I appreciate the lessons, you are teaching things that I can actually apply to my playing, practical application, and now I'm thinking and trying new things, and I can put my own spin on it. Thanks so much brother.

You’re awesome, thank you

From South Africa Letsepe Mpe your teaching style relaxes my nerves, kicks away my anxieties. You are a great teacher Sir.

The joy of 6ths. This is in my warm up routine now. Thanks!

Thank you. This lesson really helped me break out of the rut I've been in for a couple months.

You are brilliant. Thank you for sharing such critical, yet, available concepts for honing bass playing. Grace and Peace 😊

Thanks, Rich! Great Lessons.

I absolutely love these videos. Your demeanor as a teacher is, pardon the pun, pitch-perfect: your style is warm, patient, and playful; your explanations are thoughtful and thorough; and you have a seemingly instinctual sense of how people actually learn in an online environment. I deeply appreciate you and your efforts-thanks so much!

Gracias campeón 🤘🏼

I watched this video 9 months ago ! I couldn’t follow along, I tried again today and I got it! So satisfying to learn. Learning to have patience for myself. 🫡 Thank you for the lesson. - Luis Armando Fernandez

Its great exercise Sir..Thank you soo much 🙏🙏

Studies have shown that more neurons are fired in the brain during teaching then during learning, In other words, You dont truly have a grasp of a concept until you can teach it to someone. (teaching embeds knowledge) Your methods prove that you have a firm grasp of the concepts you teach. Because of that, Im able to learn from you when many others on youTube leave me dazed and confused lol. You are an excellent teacher! Keep breaking it down to a five year old level because that helps me the most! Your playing is next level and so is your ability to share what you know. Keep it up! I wish you had 10,000,000 subscribers!!

Great video

Awesome lesson.

Greetings from Singapore. Discovered your channel by chance. Awesome content, going start practicing your teachings tomorrow. Good job n much appreciation. Cheers!

Really awesome lessons!! Keep up the exceptional work.

Holy shit. 2 seconds into the video and I already love you. Charisma thing. Haven't even watched the video. You have a nice warm presence.

thank You rich i am addicted to your lessons and the way you teach us Thank You so much Joe Romano Long Island New York

you are a blessing

So intrestin like it

Wow. Learn the sound of the shape...Rich, I have done this for YEARS without really being able to "put a name" on that skill! I am going to being diving deep into modes and applying this idea...I CAN absorb the sounds of modes just like I absorb the sounds of bass lines in songs. I can't contribute $ this very moment but I'll jump in soon...your teaching is exciting my musical brain. My goal this year is to play more, play better, and learn more at age 60 than I have ever in my life!

Everyday practice trainings 👂 lessons sounds and putt in brain become successfully players beginning .

God Bless you real Good sir.

Hoping for more subs for ur channel. It's so informative and awesome! Thank you! From PH 🇵🇭

God is blessing you ❤
