Modes, Triads, & the 2-5-1

[@richbrownbass]

I hope you enjoy the new video. At this moment, FB and Insta are down, so you might as well...practice. 😏

[@thomaswalker8790]

It's just mind blowing! How come no one taught bass this way? Rich it's incredible. Hats off to you. You just made my practice session so enjoyable. Kudos to you for your ingenious ideas

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you so much, Thomas. It makes me very happy to read your kind words.

[@bassforkids4504]

I've taken 100s of online bass lessons from many different teachers over the years and have lost some interest in doing exercises.Your lessons always spark a new interest in me wanting to pick up my bass right away and explore what you're teaching.Thank you.

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you very much for the kind words. That means a lot. Keep on playing!

[@noahsworldonline]

love your demeanor and wisdom rich! i love seeing kind souls like yours see success :)

[@richbrownbass]

That means a lot, Noah. Thank you so much.

[@RuudJeursen]

Rich, I'ḿ 64 years old and a few years away from being a pensionado: with your videos on the modes and your SBL-course you opened a brand new way of playing bass for me in the upcoming years!! Thank you so much!!

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you so much. It’s so nice to know that these videos can help even in the smallest ways. I very much appreciate the kind words.

[@harryblue9502]

Dang!! Education thats Fun & extremely enigmatic ...dude you Rock!!

[@timothycolbrese8023]

Let me tell you something! This is an absolutely BRILLIANT exercise! Why have I never thought of this??!!?? Ideas like this are why I keep watching your videos! You're the man Rich! I love things that challenge me to look at things differently! Very impressed with this video!

[@richbrownbass]

Oh man! This is what I love to hear. Thanks so much, Timothy.

[@OstirBass]

So humble and great teacher.

[@richbrownbass]

That means a lot. Thanks very much, Boris.

Round Two - fight. I laughed out loud! Great joke and great lesson!

[@lewispenfold5437]

Between you and Andrew Pouska over at studybass I feel I am getting the best start to the Bass.. Thank you kindly.

[@richbrownbass]

I just found out about Andrew. His videos are great. VERY informative. Thank you for watching, Lewis.

[@timball8429]

This is a superb way to translate basic scales into melodic ideas. Very eye opening. Thank you, Rich!

Fantastic, John. Thank you, brother.

amazing lesson my friend and neighbour🙏

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you very much. 🙏🏾

[@Chrishawn]

*You have the gift of simplicity sir! I attended Jeff Berlins player school of music in Clearwater Florida for a semester, studied with Anthony Wellington for a year here in the dmv but have learned soo much more through your simplistic style and humility*

[@richbrownbass]

That’s pretty incredible! Thank you very much, my brother.

[@markfoster_mkfbass]

Chrishawn, I used to live in DC(Petworth🤓). I totally agree with you that Mr. Brown has a knack for conveying information in a way that is easy to assimilate AND is inspiring! Wishing you the best, man✌🏾

[@Chrishawn]

@@markfoster_mkfbass *yes brother, I felt that Anthony was too too advanced for a rank beginner. I didn't grow up playing gospel in a church so I had alitve elementary questions and would get turned around which seemed to annoy him, lol*

[@markfoster_mkfbass]

@@Chrishawn I understand. It's wonderful to find a teacher who can give you useful, digestible information. You find yourself actually improving and playing music that you have always wanted to play. Learning and inspiration are intertwined. Pretty cool, eh? Keep going, man; Rich is the real deal.👊🏽

[@z-pray7460]

I've been soaking in this series. I've watched the videos so many times now and have had some incredible breakthroughs. For the first time I finally feel like I'm understanding how the scales fit into my playing! Thank you so much for your clear explanations and practical exercises. This channel is invaluable.

[@juansecar2]

Dude this is really simple, but awesome creative exercise to teach. Great material!

Thanks for the amazing lesson - this is incredibly helpful in getting more mileage out of position playing exercises and helping me know the fingerboard better in harmonic contexts 👍🙏

[@richbrownbass]

Thanks so much, Larry. I'm always happy to know these videos are helping people out.

Rich, you re fantastic 😉

Watching from Ghana

[@richbrownbass]

Awesome! Thank you so much.

[@Sangtea05]

Love it from Mizoram, India. Great Lesson as always. I'm thinking like modes are the inside of a triads and triads are the pillar of a modes.

Great stuff as usual Mr. Brown. I find myself jumping ahead to how I might apply this approach to practicing inversions. Maybe part 3? Huh, huh huh?

Great content! Thanks...

[@richbrownbass]

My pleasure. Thank you for watching.

[@markfoster_mkfbass]

That opening bit had me chuckling...Go on wit yo bad self, Mr. Brown😎😂 You always present clear explanations. Hoping that you post another one of your improvisations soon...Maybe one on fretless? Cheers!👊🏽🤗

Thank you, brother Mark. Yes, I’ll try to do one of those soon. 🙏🏾❤️

Great lesson man thank you so much.

[@richbrownbass]

My pleasure. Thank you so much for watching.

[@patrickblay7684]

Thank you Rich. You are a fantastic teacher. One question: when you play the chords and the triads in the 2 5 1 progression, why not use the seventh ex: G7 with G B and F ? Your approach is so different from others , it’s really great ,many many Thanks

@@richbrownbass I am getting back into playing my bass after a 20 year break and, I don't want to play the same lines, scales etc, this video really opened up my thinking on modes and arpeggios, thanks Rich. Where are you from buddy?

@@richbrownbass Love the channel, please keep the videos coming they're great. Kindest regards from Glasgow Scotland

[@flamflamflam]

This is one of those lessons that on the surface seems easy enough until you try it. The thing I find crazy is that I can get comfortable in one key then i feel like I'm starting over as soon as I try a different key. I feel like it should be as easy as shifting my position.... Anyway, back to the practice room.

[@richbrownbass]

New ideas like this will take some time to get under the fingers, but I’ve seen how hard you work, Tony. It won’t be long for you, brother.

[@mojoemurphy]

Now I just need the time to put the work in 😁

[@richbrownbass]

You got this!

[@Well_so]

привет ! я с каждым разом нахожу разную информацию в этом подходе. Мне нравится гениальность этого, а почему бы не взять 4-5-1 ----главные ступени дают равные трезвучия --- все они мажорные. нет?

[@georgeschaf2365]

Thanks for your great lesson but one question I always wanted to ask you is how do you get your sound ? Amp setup ? Effects ? Stuff like that because it is phenomenal

[@richbrownbass]

Thanks very much, George. My setup is pretty simple. I plug my bass into a Focusrite 4i4 interface, and I record into Logic Pro X. That's about it. No fancy effects or anything like that. I'm glad you like it.

[@georgeschaf2365]

How about your live setup u have a amazing tone on Ledbetter trio stuff
