Thank you very much. My english isn't perfect either.😒 But I'm so glad to know that you are understanding the material. Thank you for watching!

LOL I love the intro. Reminds me of Rick Danko's intro, like "Oh - hey, I didn't see ya there, thanks for comin over".

TRIGGERED: Question to 4 string puritans: what makes the rift between 4 string vs more than 4 strings such a big deal? Dr Brown, I love the patience you put into the lessons. You not only sit into the lessons, you help us wear them and get comfortable without a mad dash. Nice. Thanks.

Absolutely no complain about a 6 strings .. i own a 6 strings too and i feel more ‘confortable’ to play than my old 5 strings! 😊

Nothing wrong with a 6 string, I love mine. More strings don't make you a better player but they definitely don't make you worse. Just different musical opportunities. Plus it allows you to have the range of a bassist and a guitarist. Versatility is so valuable!

“Missing the forest for the trees”, on a 251? Yup! That resonates. Great channel Rich.

THIS lesson unlocked some extra fretboard freedom for me! At first I wasn't sure really what I learned, BUT after some application, I surprised myself.

I had this break through and now I can play through any jazz standard...

Anyone who hates on 6 string basses needs to buy one. After that the person will love it! Only the muting is hard. How do you mute the E and A string when playing the higher strings? Great Video !

I have to confess. The muting has been a big issue for me. It's so much easier on a 4 and a 5 string, but for my 2 six strings I'm using fret wraps.

I deeply enjoy your teaching style so much! I have been on other bass lesson sites for some time. While I have found lessons from those sites to be very deep and helpful, finding your channel over a month ago was exactly what I needed for where I currently am in my playing and musicianship. I have really enjoyed going over the videos on this Theory & Harmony playlist series. Not only have I added these exercises to my daily routine, I am starting to hear and create other melodies which are springboarding from these exercises

Thanks Rich always looking forward to your next lesson.

Awesome lesson Rich, as is always the case. What also added inestimable value to this particular lesson is that you generously taught the foundation for soloing lines by literally demonstrating some lines. No criticism to other teachers on KZread ( they all are being generous with bass knowledge), but you are one of very few who show the audience how to transform the patterns and concepts into solo lines/phrases. Some may understand how to play a scale or arpeggio, and even learn other bass player’s bass solos, but may never “hear” their own ideas for soloing and phrasing. So their riffs and phrases sound more like drills. When you showed examples of how to create solo content, that set this video apart from millions of them. Thanks again.

It sounds like you are singing through your bass. What I mean is that it doesn’t sound like someone playing patterns. Although it is patterns that you are playing…. Man it so hard to communicate about music sometimes. You know what I mean! :)

Oh, I definitely know what you mean, Tony. You should see the outtakes! 😅Thanks so much for the kind words. That's totally why I love this bass. That's my "singing voice."

What's the iRealPro track you're using?

While there are certainly pros and cons of differently stringed basses, I don’t understand the vigor some espouse their preference with. They are tools, not to be worshiped but to be used by the musician to make music with. Dragonetti killed on a 3 string, some play in 5ths, some use alternate tunings, some use extensions or a 5th or 6th (or 7th….) string. Lutes and viols have myriad varieties and courses of strings. Each different one provides a new manner to approach the music with, and a new perspective for your creativity. Sing proudly with whatever voice suits you and what you feel like expressing, and be open to new voices and perspectives always.

Please everyone on this platform please please and please kindly share so that someone can learn this tutorials please
