How to Master Bass Basics: Lesson Number 4 for Beginners

[@namelesswanderer9315]

I hope you post a full online course. You would be considered one of the best options of online bass education. Your mellow personality and done, your down to earth, real talk is also helpful. I really like the part about setting yourself up and using the thumb. Thank you for these Bass Basics lessons!

'E to shining C' took me so a second. Thanks Rich, another excellent lesson.

[@Brent_D]

Great lesson Rich, I’m learning the bass at the ripe age of 63 😳 and enjoying the lessons.. Cheers

[@richbrownbass]

I'm so glad, Brent. I appreciate you tuning in.

[@estherlord6330]

I'm 60 years young and totally lovin learning to play !!

[@Brent_D]

@@estherlord6330that’s awesome Esther, I feel the same way 😊

[@mr.force1036]

The people’s say thanks Rich😎

[@richbrownbass]

Haha! This makes me very happy.

[@jekiesso]

Yes we do! Thanks Rich! 🤗

[@ejectorerector]

Love your demeanor and teaching style. I also like your words of encouragement, and the exercises are super helpful. Thanks Rich!

[@sherchrystgah9400]

You Help ALOT Bro Thank you ! From Paris 2024

[@GordonOverkill]

I really like your style of teaching! I play the bass in a Heavy Metal band for more than ten years, but I'm still rather a self-taught guitarrist playing bass than a real dedicated bassist. So I decided to go back to the roots and learn it decently. Thanks alot for the great content! :)

[@DamirAcuna]

The best clear easy lessons. Thanks Rich!

[@juliusgaius4326]

Heh that “you dig?” made me chuckle

[@TimHarrisonPlus]

It would be fascinating to see you take a complete beginner through this journey in a video! Seeing someone else experience this in person or in the room would be a great comfort to those who might feel like they’re the only ones who struggle with something new. Keep on keeping on, good sir!

[@richbrownbass]

What a great idea, Tim. Hey! I miss you, brother. Thank you so much for your YEARS of support. I hope all is beautiful with you and the family. ❤️

[@TimHarrisonPlus]

@@richbrownbass We’re great, brother! It’s been a long while. I hope we get to break bread again sometime soon!

[@jean-louissaillot134]

I am no longer a beginner, but I love your lessons. Please keep on putting them out there. Nice touch to have the lesson overdubbed in French. I am sure the French speaking community will appreciate. Merci!

[@dennismcpeek9630]

Very easy to follow your instructions!!

[@dr.rationalist9669]

Danke!

[@NoobOnATele]

Cant wait to get home from work and watch this!!

Thnak you. I hope you enjoy it.

[@reaperfunkss]

[@StratBurst92]

This is by far the best beginner bass tutorial online. Thank you Rich.

[@tungaingles5466]

Thank you for taking the time to teach us. You make it very interesting and fun. Great Job

[@TheVictoriousKicks]

You are an amazing teacher!You should make a MasterClass

[@harrybhappy]

I absolutely love the way that you teach and somehow I absorb the information easier thank you for all that you do

[@richbrownbass]

That means more than I can say. Thank you!

[@caroljshepherd3848]

Oh, you bar steward! 😊 you switched it up! 😂 i'm really enjoying these lessons but boy are my fingers sore. 😂

[@eugenehamby7167]

This brother has a lot of patience God Bless him I'm just actually starting over i already know some of this stuff but I feel as though I should.

[@agnesmarkus4998]

I enjoy my bass sound every time when I practice. thanks

[@kamihoover5366]

Love your videos Rich! I am an old dog trying to learn new tricks and your relaxed, mellow style has been a pleasure:)

[@guysonier4952]

Best on line bass lessons I’ve found . Thank you Mr. Rich Brown.

[@brettverrender3167]

Thanks Rich, if you have time could you do a lesson on playing ballads without being boring.

[@guyledouxefon-oc6hq]

Hi Rich, Thank you for not forgetting french learners. However Cameroon is blessed for being bilingual. I'm french speaking. But I easily understood your great lessons so far thanks to your "open" or "bass" way of speaking.

[@zoeferbrache]

Thank you so much Rich,you are a wonderful teacher!🤗🍎

[@richbrownbass]

Lol! I love the apple! Thank you, Zoe. 🙏🏾

[@zoeferbrache]

@@richbrownbass glad i could make someone smile today see you on the next video🤗

[@philipmcadam5339]

Hey Rich, back to school, back to basics. It's always good to review the ABCs. Peace and love.

[@GodstimeUdoka]

I do Appreciate your good work

[@charmainemunro4686]

The best beginners lessons on KZbin ever thank you awesome

[@DavidAndersen-sq6ke]

I really enjoy your teaching style. Mahalos

[@AstralSam999]

The lesson is well constructed. I am still very new And i am able to follow along. Sometimes i have to go back for better understanding but i think its normal. Thank you brown

[@Cozymusic59]

I’ve been learning the bass guitar for 4 years and I feel like I’m still at the beginning. I say I’m better than when I first started but I wish I had the speed. I started learning the bass after I retired at age 56. I love taking your KZbin lessons from the beginning. It’s different and I like your teaching style.

[@Saundersstrong]

Hey im new too and really diggin this series, bit by bit im getting it. A friend of mine lent me a book call "the music lesson" -by Victor L. wooten . The book has a neat perspective and I'm finding it helpfull along side the lessons .

[@Cozymusic59]

@@Saundersstrong Thank you. I follow Wooten he a great bass player. I will look into his book.

[@robcanon-i3h]

[@richbrownbass]

My pleasure! Thank you for watching.

[@Elderbch]

Thanks!

[@richbrownbass]

Thanks so much, JP!🙏🏾

[@gregoran]

Love your classes...I noticed you played almost everything with just your middle finger. How do you go about muting notes? Also how are you sitting and positioning the bass in your lap? Thanks!

[@ejectorerector]

Yes, I need help with muting

[@estherlord6330]

Thank you for sharing another great video 😉✌️

[@richbrownbass]

My pleasure, Esther. Thank you (as always🙂) for watching!

Ready to start gigging now!😁

[@richbrownbass]

Go get ‘em, Wes!!!

[@andresrivera6432]

Hey rich. I’m loving your videos a lot. I just started yesterday and you have been fantastic. Do you have any advice for finger stretching? As a beginner I find it difficult to keep my left hand relaxed while playing one note with one finger? Do you think you will ever make a video to address this for beginners? Thanks again!

[@marcoelwray]

Let's share our knowledge ❤

[@SpillTheWine67]

Loving it! Thank you!

[@chaltaloma]

Hi Rich another great lesson i had a question for you what is your top 5 beginner Basses to buy and why ? Have a great week.

[@edwintulier6820]

Im going on 70 years of life. Startes playing the bass at 45 years old. I want to take these lessons on as a beginner. I missed the basic and lost out.

[@charlescampbell7176]

or which one should I consider doing for beginners

[@TrustKatunga]

The arrangement of the notes/pattern, could it be that you are playing a particular scale?

[@charlescampbell7176]

Is there a lesson 5 I have been going over 1 thru 4 a couple of times

[@Kuromi_heart]

I have very small hands is kind of difficult to spread them out and play to c with the pinky

[@charlescampbell7176]

Rich Brown I have gone thru the 1st 4 lessons but I am very new should I do all 4 again till I get better on the sounds and which exercises are good for speed

[@MarcG7424]

I can't seem to find # 1 what's it title and when was it posted is it the Novice to Pro video

[@teartamother1892]

❤

[@pjetrs]

Okay stupid question, but as a beginner I find it almost impossible to hold that position (3:00) covering fret 2 to 5 without adjusting it. Can I expect my hands to get more flexible after some time? Or is this what it is and should I just adjust while playing?

[@danielrossi2910]

Hello Rich. Les traductions en français ont disparues. Dommage c’était plus facile pour moi 😭

[@horriefic]

I noticed that you aren’t alternating your 1 and 2 plucking fingers when you play from E to C!

[@deenremy4345]

Hey Rich you forgot to put this video on your playlist 😢

[@hansstellingsmanetherlands5548]

Trying to take notes what are the notes on the g string you play 1,3,4 ?

[@richbrownbass]

Yes! 1,3,4, or A, B, C, or 2nd, 4th, and 5th frets!

[@hansstellingsmanetherlands5548]
