I have said this again and again...your channel is not the biggest or most popular out here, but your lessons are absolutely the best. This is like a gold mine waiting to be discovered by many. Keep up the excellent work Rich, and thank you very much for the amazing insights.

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you so much, Emmanuel. What a beautiful comment. Do spread the word. Let's see if we can make this one of the biggest, most popular channels. Let's shoot for the moon and see how close we get!

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you so much, Tom. Your very kind words mean a lot.

[@ratm2488]

From Rockford Illinois. Had played since 14 years old and gigged for about 4 years in there until the band I was in fell apart. After tasting the stage and realizing it was over I turned away from playing and practice. Sending a thanks for the inspiration to pick the bass back up and rekindle my commitment to the thing that melts all the bullshit away. An 8 year hiatus is over and while I regret losing all that time to work and improve, it feels so good to be in love again!

[@v33punk]

Do the thing 🤣

[@thomasmullaney3192]

It is a pleasure to learn from you. You are so mellow and humble. I learn something from you each and everytime I watch your lessons.

[@brack5216]

I love you editing Mr Brown... adds a lot to the enjoyment of watching your lessons! Not to mention your teaching ability and how you lay all the info out clearly. I could go on and on... I love your channel and bass lessons. Will support you monthly! Thank you sir!

[@beenardlitko3163]

I can't agree with Emmanuel enough. Sir, it is only a matter of time when you get more subscribers. Your presentation is right on point. Your explanation is right on point. Your exercises are right on point. Great video. Great instruction. Can't wait to receive more knowledge. Thank you.

Love your stuff! I started playing bass last year and i'd heard your name mentioned in a few videos but i didn't have a chance to check you out until a month or so ago when i did your modes course on SBL. I always struggled with that stuff before but you make it fun and i like the way you think about things just works for me so i've mostly just been working on that lately. Thanks!

[@nancydoane7864]

Thank you so much Rich! There is something very special about you and your teaching style. You are calming and yet challenging and encouraging at the same time. When I first saw this lesson this is how I felt 🤯! I've watched it several times and just couldn't do it. So tonight I decided to chart it out and write the numbers down as you suggested. It was very slow at first but I got it! I see the importance of learning this and will work on it every day! You are so kind to share these lesson in such a great way, so easy to understand! Thank you again Rich! Blessings to you!

[@dkbbass403]

I always look forward to your videos, so inspiring and motivating. I particularly like the ones with rhythmic exercises, a very under taught area of bass playing IMO. Thank you for taking the time make the vids ♥️

[@richbrownbass]

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@anthonycook4297]

Nice job,Rich👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@michaelburkley1225]

The Tab system is nice. I know it's helping me. Thanks

[@MasulloEnglish]

I absolutely love these videos. Your demeanor as a teacher is, pardon the pun, pitch-perfect: your style is warm, patient, and playful; your explanations are thoughtful and thorough; and you have a seemingly instinctual sense of how people actually learn in an online environment. I deeply appreciate you and your efforts-thanks so much!

[@richbrownbass]

I do love all my friends and neighbours, but this might actually be my favourite comment. These very kind words mean a great deal. Thank you so very much.

[@MasulloEnglish]

@@richbrownbass My words are truly meant. Your willingness to share your expertise is such a gift. I hope that you get as much out of making these videos as I do in learning from them.

Be safe out there, Tul. Thanks as always for watching.🙏🏾

[@markkangas7774]

Hi Rich! I've dedicated my Sundays to en(Rich)ing my bass vocabulary, and spend most of my Sundays here when time allows. I can't say with honesty that I get every Sunday in, but today I got a couple hours to explore your videos. This particular lesson was a struggle when I first watched. I lack dexterity in my left pinky and ring finger separation, and this exercise is a monster. More so with my brain trying to get the descending lines down, and the string skipping with the two fingers. I finally got comfortable with it, but haven't attempted the minor scale part. I just wanted to say thanks for the lesson, and thanks for helping me to improve. I so appreciate it! Peace.

[@pcl1886]

Great information! Much appreciated.

[@richbrownbass]

[@joelgiroux3610]

Maestro, I spent an hour and a half yesterday going over this exercise, rewinding and going over each section multiple times until I had the ascending, descending, and alternating patterns for both major and minor scales. Have NOT got the metronome up to 150bpms yet, and doubt I will anytime soon, but man oh man, just another fabulous lesson from you. Also, comedy gold scattered throughout -- "sixttthhhhsss" -- :D . Brilliant stuff, as per, Maestro.
