If one follows Rich's groove series and the upcoming pentatonic series, bass lines possibilities are infinite.

You are definitely a genius. Putting my little one down for a nap & decided to skip practice today & just have a nap too.. am now getting up & drilling pentatonics! Ya cheeky devil, you stole my nap!

Dude emanates peace all over the internet. Came for a bass lesson, ended up meditating.😇

Rich, you are the best explainer on KZread. Thanks

I LOVE THIS! You're right, the light bulb definitely goes of.

Glad your back Rich, your instruction is priceless.

Easily one of the best videos explaining the pentatonic, how to go up and down the fretboard, and touched on the relative minor. Rich, you are amazing.

I have been playing for just over a year and have learned so much watching your videos, thank you so much. I never appreciated the bass so much until I started learning, I love playing and learning.

Came for the pentatonic dispensation, hooked by the comedic extemporization...YA DIG? 😂😉😋 GENIUS, indeed. As usual, love and respect.

My man, you're like the Mr Rogers for bass players. I always feel welcomed into your videos.

Rich, I’ve been playing guitar for more than three decades, and bass for about a year, but I always devour fresh ways to think about this stuff. Your ‘two note’ presentation here is kind of brilliant. I don’t think I’ve ever consciously considered pentatonics in this way. Really good stuff.

Thanks sir Brown I love it you are helping me a lot

Rich, I've seen your other pentatonic lessons but for me the stuff at 16 minutes in was new, and very important. You provided the piece of the puzzle that was missing for me, that connection past the 3rd shape, you called it the inverted minor pentatonic shape. Like working through the major scale modes, it makes the pentatonic scale fit together, and make sense. Thank you!

Thanks for that lesson 😊 you got me wanting to get my bass out of closet. Haven’t played it in years. Learned the scales on the 6 string

Excellent lesson Rich, it all makes sense to me. Thanks

I just want to thank you. You have opened up the whole fretboard for me and I thought that was never going to happen. You good sir are an awesome teacher.

You're awesome, Travis. Thank you, my brother!

I discovered that, too, but what I'm trying to figure out now is what sequence of notes sounds major and what sequence sounds minor? In order words, how do I play all the shapes (major and minor) and maintain the tonality of the key (major or minor). Looking forward to learning that.

This lesson fits me like a glove. Been working on pentatonic recently, and this just lit my brain. Thank you, Rich!

👍

I have really short fingers which makes the 4 fret span really difficult. I do love the concept, tho.

You know how guitarists or pianists will use 'borrowed' chords from relative minors? What are your thoughts on using chord notes from those 'borrowed ' chords in basslines? Its something I've done but certainly haven't mastered when to do it

Excellent lesson, mr Brown! Is that a megaminx on a stand behind you?

@@richbrownbass Cool! I have some of these things as well, up to the 5x5x5.

A thought just occurred (yes, it did hurt): Do you think pentatonic scales can relate to modes? if you start on the C, is it an Ionian pentatonic? If you start on the A, is it an Aeolian pentatonic? And would starting on the G be a Mixolydian pentatonic? I never put modes into practical use when playing, but thinking of this, it might help me to wrap my head around some alternate grooves.

@richbrownbass

Ай бұрын

A very logical question! These are essentially the modes of the pentatonic scale (I'm not sure if they have names), but it's a lot easier for me to think of them in terms of this 2-note system I came up with. Thanks for watching!

@lheggestad

Ай бұрын

I thought of that, too, but when I tried to see how the modes fit into the pentatonic scale it didn't work for me. So, I think the pentatonic scale is mainly built around the 1 (major) and the flat 3 (minor). It's like it illustrates the relationship between the major and the relative minor.

@SSN706

Ай бұрын

@@lheggestad I agree. I went exploring a little and my own example proved why it really doesn't work. The G Mixolydian focuses on the flatted 7th, in this case the F, which isn't even a note in the C major pentatonic scale. Oh well, did I say that thinking hurts? :)

That's for the whole scales (7 notes plus octave). Here, Rich is teaching pentatonic (5-note) scales here. The 2 notes taken out to make a pentatonic are the 4th (F in C major) and the 7th (B in C major). Hope this helps :D
