[@BCarlanto]

Picked the bass up 7 months ago and I’m struggling, but came across your videos a week ago and it’s helping me understand. I’ve watch 3 videos and have learned a lot. Even tho your “slow playing” is fast for me lol, somehow I’m able to keep up. You have an excellent way of getting the point across, so beginners like myself can learn and apply. Keep sharing it’s definitely appreciate.

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you so much, Carlanto. Your comment means a lot. I'm doing the best I can to address everyone at every skill level. I'm so happy to know that these videos help you even in some small way. That's important to me. Thank you very much for watching!

Simple is a good word. Too many confuse simple with easy, and they are NOT. Playing simple is difficult because there is NOTHING to hide behind. Nice quotation of The Chicken. ;) This was a great lesson. Respect.

Great lesson! Hi from Syracuse. Talking about soloing and keeping the groove immediately makes me think of Willie Weeks’ solo on “Everything is Everything” from Donny Hathaway Live. A perfect example of this exercise. Thanks, Rich!

[@richbrownbass]

Thanks, Jay! Much appreciated, brother. Fun fact: I had the chance to hang out with Michael McDonald one night. We had a great time, and at the end of the night, he told me I totally reminded him of Willie Weeks. Even asked if we were somehow related. Ha! (We're not, btw.)

[@Jjfabbonbass]

@@richbrownbass Whoa! That’s a huge compliment and from a legend nonetheless! I’m sure Willie would be flattered by the comparison too. Thanks for the great lesson.

Thank you very much, Pastor Barata! Continued blessings to you and yours.

[@RockerProf]

Wow! Being an avid student of music theory,I just now realized why what you're saying is true. It is because the G minor scale is the relative minor of the B flat major scale, which means that the pentatonics for both scales contain the exact same notes, just in a different order. The light bulb went off; just wondered why I hadn't figured this out myself before. This fact would have been worth mentioning in the video. Thanks for the great videos. By the way, your voice is magic
