Another Pentatonic Scale We Should All Know

[@francostrazzulla5698]

Huge Rich....you can study all of your life music, but when you are so lucky to find a lesson from Rich Brown....wow...you enter in another world and finally start understanding what's the real music....you opened up a big door in my mind Rich....your lessons are amazing

[@IsabellePoinloup]

Stunning teacher and stunning musicien all together... Rare. Very....

[@richbrownbass]

😊 That’s very kind of you to say. Thank you, Isabelle.

[@shugemery]

Thankee for another insightful bass lesson Rich. Loving getting to know my fretboard~

[@tr3sidential]

It's ALWAYS great to have more options when playing..thanks!👊🏿

[@nomijams]

I loved my visit to Antigua! Amazing food and great people. 🙌🏽

[@zenzeizen]

Funkiest note in the world for the win! So good…extending the pentatonic up and down the neck in all positions is an amazing tool, especially when you realize that you just extended the major pentatonic at the same time. :)

[@milracing73]

Best lessons I’ve found. Thank you.

[@richbrownbass]

Wow! Thanks, Seth! That means a lot, brother.

[@silkyb9869]

Just unfolding musical flowers again! Beautiful

[@waderogers776]

Rich, you did it again! Thanks to those variations on the Am Pentatonic, you helped me find the missing piece to a solo break I do at gigs during a James Gang tune....I've been jacking around with that like crazy, but using what you showed in the video, it fell right into place. Thank you!!

[@richbrownbass]

I love that. Thank you, Wade.

[@BR4D_A]

Thanks, as always, Rich. Something else to work on.

[@fitzbjones]

Man your vibe is warm and inviting. Thank you for teaching in a manner that is coherent.

[@andifery8655]

Your tutorial always outstanding thank you for teach us

[@PaulGable]

I've tryed hard to remember the first time I heard the "funkiest note in the world" and now I got it "Use Me" by Al Jarreau!!! Great work Rich, thanks a lot!!!

[@richbrownbass]

Exactly right, Paul. Thank you for tuning in!

[@nancydoane7864]

Hi Rich! Thank you so much for this video! I shared with you before that I taught myself bass at the age of 61, 3+ years ago now. I've studied music theory very hard because I need to understand how notes fit together in order for it to make sense to me. I've watched your Mother of Pentatonic Exercise video multiple times. After watching this one and the pairs, I watched the mother again. It finally sunk into my old brain. I LOVE playing bass and I want to be good at it. Your videos will help me do that. Thank you so much for what you are doing! I really appreciate you! Would you consider doing a series about chords on bass? ❤🙏

[@TheSkyWhale]

Really dig the vibe of your channel. The tone, the knowledge, it’s all so smooth

[@kovalainenriku]

You Sir have an outstanding approach to teaching. I'm very glad to have stumbled upon this channel!

[@davidloflin3098]

Rich you've really expanded my repertoire of licks with your lessons on pentatonics, and I've been playing for some time now, thanks so much. I've used these positional concepts and applied them with natural/harmonic minor scales (took some time mapping them out, but I gutted through lol) and it's helped me come up with some seriously rockin' riffs. Plus, the FNITW really crosses genres, it just always sounds good to me. Another tip of the hat to you sir.

[@westanney1712]

Another great exercise. I have played pentatonics for years but usually only in two shapes. This opens up more possibilities! Thanks Rich!

[@philipmcadam5339]

Hey Rich, thanks for another mind expanding exercise. Everything you are sharing helps me to get just a little bit better. Thank you, peace and love.

[@bAgRiMoIrEsS.4]

Inspirational!! Helpful lessons..

[@stevenwyatt3172]

Thanks Rich, another fret board expanded funk filled pentatonic experience. I feel inspired to creativity. Blessings 🙌

[@Lampropeltis]

I appreciate how you disperse knowledge with your laid back calm. Thank you. Subbed. 👍

[@8981USMC]

Great Lesson!

[@drdre5800]

Awesome video as always. Thank you for the nuggets you share.

[@lawrencenewman]

Thanks!

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you so much, Lawrence. That means a lot, brother.

[@jeffrubes5730]

Great teacher!

[@nicolasrichard6300]

Amazing stuff as usual. Always a new way to practice. TY very much ! Go Jays !

[@blakebass1]

Rich, you do such a great job here. I enjoy and appreciate your clear communication of the material and concepts you cover. I also love your bass tone and artistry. Keep up the great work and thanks for your efforts!

[@darrylwilliams1975]

I met you years ago at the name show. Been a fan since.

[@richbrownbass]

Thanks so much, Darryl! Sadly, that was the first and last time I've ever gone to Namm. I hope to make it back someday. I appreciate you, brother.

[@janekberg3824]

Great video as usual😊

[@Barry101er]

This was really great. And also, one of the few channels where the bass just sounds great--maybe sounds the best??

[@darethomhenstb5714]

Hi Ritch , man I love your instructional bass lesson videos, I abserved in many of your videos I can hardley hear the notes that you are playing. I don't Have a hearing problem and I don't know if any of the other people who watch, and listen to your videos mentioned this to you before now:but I can hardly hear the notes that you are trying to teach us. Man you are one of the best bass teachers that I know the way you explain things, and makes it seem so easy and simple to do. I love that. So is there a way for you to make the notes that you are playing a little louder? so we can hear them better? Thanks man keep doing nwhat you are doing ,people like me need it. God bless .

[@richbrownbass]

Thanks so much for the kind words and the feedback. I do find my videos are generally quieter than that of other channels. Not sure why that is, but I'll work on bringing you more bass moving forward. Thanks for watching! ✌🏾

[@travisreed5965]

Hello Mr Rich, Excellent Outro - Check This Out - While Watching, I approach The 5:23 Mark And I Am Think That This Is SO Cool - Not Only Do You Say " So Cool" , You Drop The Funkiest Note - Flipping Brilliant - Thanx For The Two Octave C Reminder - Stay Strong Go Team Human, Cheers

[@JsnHgl]

I’m new to your channel and am loving your laid back vibe. Great stuff man.

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you so much for tuning in!

[@ColinEvans-mo6fl]

Colin Evans you are a great teacher with relevant material. The only thing that is missing is the act of utilization. If you would, after each presentation, do a short application you would have reached a crescendo of a good presentation. People want to know how to use the new knowledge.

[@marcushudson2911]

Learning new ways to look at the fretboard with your teaching, turns practice in to something I look forward to instead of a. chore. Thank you. These videos are good for the soul.

[@scottfrey3686]

That is enough to get me to join your channel, Rich. This is the biggest bargain in online bass lessons. Thank you for being a wonderful musician and teacher--two things that do not necessarily go together

[@richbrownbass]

That means a lot, Scott. Thank you so much!

[@johntucker447]

nice tone 👌👌

[@jaimesolorza4186]

If you can listen to Peter Cetera's bass line on Goodbye by Chicago....it has a lot of the modes that you teach ...peace Jaime Solorza bass player for Windy City, tribute to Chicago, from El Paso, Texas

Eye opening have to admit!

[@victorclark8353]

Thank You Bro cool !

[@Pavel_Franta]

Hello Rich, you almost smiled in this video and even made jokes !!!! good to see you back buddy. Hopefully, shit times passed :)

[@mr.force1036]

Funkiest note in the world. The real deal, come on now. Thanks man 😎

[@clcortelyou]

Rich, love this video and your channel. It has really helped my playing. Is the strap you are wearing commercially available? It looks really comfortable. All the best from a Canadian -adjacent viewer in Michigan

[@RaY_77W]

Hey Rich👋🏽

[@serpico975]

Rich, where do you always get these from man? You have a unique style of teaching, which I truly appreciate! Keep 'em coming. 🧡💛

[@richbrownbass]

Thanks so much, Michel. I taught myself to play this instrument through listening and observing. Most of the time I'm not sure if these ideas are mine or if they're common knowledge. I'm just teaching what I learned the way I first learned it. It makes me so happy to know you appreciate it. 🙏🏾❤

[@bassomatic6055]

Another way to think of this is Dorian minus the 2nd when the fnitw is added. Btw, i think the funkiest note in the world is 2 notes, the minor and major 3rds together like peanut butter and jelly. Oh yeah, and i gotta review pentatonic pairs, they sound so good.

[@schm4704]

That's what I was thinking. Sounded like Dorian to me.

[@domredfern2867]

Hi Rich. Thanks for this, your pentatonic workouts have been a great help to me. Have you done any videos on your fingering? I watch the way you swap between 3rd and 4th fingers with interest. is there a recipe we can learn for this?

[@richbrownbass]

Not yet! But I'll take your suggestion into account moving forward.

[@ivanb2834]

Hi Rich! awesome lesson! can you say a few words about the melodic minor and the semitone tone scale? fingerings and application in chords

[@richbrownbass]

I can try. I don't use it very often, mainly because I hear it so much in bass solos nowadays. lol!

[@bobsegar1242]

10:39 he couldn't resist that groove

[@richbrownbass]

#facts!

[@agusbleuville5830]

cool! The intro song sounds super funky :) Where can we listen to this bomb track? ❤

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you. It's an unreleased song. This would be the only place...for now.

[@denisblack9897]

at last entire fingerboard unlocked!

[@josephromano7867]

Great as always Rich can you please tell me what is that fender jazz bass you are playing?

[@richbrownbass]

Thanks, Joseph. I'm playing a Moollon Classic J in this vid. It's a great bass!

[@longhouse9801]

Half question, half observation - saw a video on using the CAGED system for solo’ing on guitar. Figured there should be an application to the bass, and using only a 4-string, I found it to be useful in trying build out shapes to use all down the fretboard. Wondering if you’ve encountered this “system” and if you saw value in exploring and sharing its potential application for us bass players. Thanks always for the great content.

[@richbrownbass]

I don't think I'm familiar with this system. I'll look into it. Thanks for watching.

[@onepro1234]

Greetings Rich thanks for sharing these great videos. I am a guitarist and currently working on the bass. Your videos have been a tremendous help with the awesome teaching you do. Can you tell me the name of the metronome you use in your videos? Thanks again.

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you so much. I'm using the Tempo app. I'm sure it can be found easily in the app store.

[@onepro1234]

@@richbrownbass Thank you Sir!

[@myag1096]

Great lesson as always! Could you possibly do a video about developing your ear. I see many videos but do you have any tips to distinguish notes from one another and trying to hear them in music?

[@richbrownbass]

I think I can make that happen, Mya. Stay tuned!

Funkiest note in the world is still and always will be the funkiest indeed.

[@nickdaskaludis2794]

[@davidbalan6571]

I hoped I want to beginning liked your rich Brown .

[@frankverrico8804]

Would you consider the F# as a major 6 for the A minor scale or a b5 in the C major scale? Where would you use the funkiest note in the world?

[@richbrownbass]

Yes! The F# becomes the sharp 11 on a major harmony, which is the hippest note in the world! 😎

[@MyChrisfish]

Ok , one practice video and then bed. . . . Wait. pentatonic pairs? Alright I can be late for work tomorrow, its Ok

[@Jedmanuel91]

So the funkiest note is a #11?

[@shugemery]

Thanks!

[@richbrownbass]

My man! Thank you! Great to see you back, my friend. This is so very much appreciated.
