Playing The Blues Using Ghost Notes

This video is part 2 of our lesson all about Ghost Notes. We'll be applying these ghost notes to The Blues by playing a traditional Blues bassline and breaking it down to incorporate more percussive elements. I think you're going to enjoy this one.
LET'S TAKE IT TO THE BASS!

Ghost notes don't have to be scary. 👻

[@jeremiahcampbell2757]

[@Silver6003]

You teach I learn . Great lesson . Bass playing 40 years . Sure are teaching me new tricks

[@richbrownbass]

Very happy to help, Champ.

[@waderogers776]

While I've used ghost notes in the past, this definitely takes it to the next level. Tomorrow, I'll be playing some Texas shuffle tunes at a gig, and I'm going to apply these techniques. Thanks for another great tutorial...keep 'em coming!

[@ermoikavalko8705]

Happy you addressed the triplet/shuffle relation. Imo triplets deserve a lesson or two. Took me a percussionist friend to make me grasp the importance of the subject.

[@thomaswalker8790]

Super great 👍 You make everything so simple. I'm real proud for you Rich. You just made me love blues again. You Rock!!!

[@richbrownbass]

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

[@questelohim...]

Thank you brother

[@philipmcadam5339]

Hey Rich, I will let you know how much I love this one when my skill level is up to it. I understand the exercise but, I am just not quite there yet.

[@richbrownbass]

Take it slow, brother. You might not be there just yet, but you’re not far behind.

[@philipmcadam5339]

Thank you so much, Irene. That means a lot. 🙏🏾

[@pursuitoftone5732]

Was just thinking about ghost notes during practice today, thanks for the wisdom ❤️

[@richbrownbass]

My pleasure! I appreciate you tuning in, as always.

[@previllazz]

Gracias my bro.

[@martinheath5947]

The tricky part, once you've learnt to do ghost notes (such fun:) is knowing when *not* to use them haha, especially on a blues gig

[@richbrownbass]

Yes! That's the key to any good musical idea. You always have to know how much colour to add to the big picture.

[@shaharkarp4357]

Love your channel!! Can you make a lesson on Jaco's ghost note style?

[@joshgoldman2903]

Nice player good teacher. Pleasant voice and communication style. A little jam at the end where you play a few choruses and further demonstrate would be helpful. Important lesson for bass players. Ghost notes are a big part of the music.

[@jimkerak6404]

another fun one is the flea style "ghost note" where you smack the string into the pickup! (on purpose) haha. see: bass line in charlie.

[@dambrooks7578]

Done and joined the monthly team 🥳

[@richbrownbass]

Wonderful! That means a great deal. Thank you so much! 🙏🏾

@@richbrownbass you're more than welcome 🙂

[@marcgreene6343]

Wondering where you were. Another great lesson!

[@richbrownbass]

Thanks very much. Teaching and Humber College & the University of Toronto has posed a serious challenge to my shooting schedule. But I'll be doing my very best to keep the uploads consistent.
