"There are no useless exercises on this channel. None! Zero! I refuse." Absolute gold as usual, Rich!

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you, my brother. ❤️

[@njr423]

Not only are your exercises make a point to build critical skills but your calm reassuring and positive demeanor is such a motivator. Thank you

[@richbrownbass]

That means a lot. Thank you very much.

[@thiagopereira1648]

I'd never seen a lesson so simple and disrupting at the same time. It may be a little challenging to get used to this pattern, but it's really easy to understand, so you're halfway there. It's no go knowing shapes or something if you don't really understand what you're doing with your instrument! And what about this gentleman's powerful, deep and smooth voice? I bet he can sing as good as his bass playing. He seems to master his voice as he speaks. Thanks a lot, my brother! Here's some love from Brazil!

[@Krazyice9501]

Am from Jamaica and these exercises are doing wonders brother. Am a BROWN too maybe that's the hidden reasonn😂😂

[@maliwilliams7262]

As a Bassist for YEARS, I can Truthfully say, you're Way Underrated!! Much Respect!! Straight to the Point!!

[@ngolinyirenda6421]

Playing reggae, Latin and African music we learn arpeggios right away and this is an awesome way to explore those tonalities that lie beyond 1-3-5

[@shawnpitts4256]

I am a professional player/teacher and I already know what you teach. What you are giving me is a new way of looking at the same information. Man that is so powerful! Thanks, and keep it up! I'll be watching and learning.

[@terrancebrooks9017]

Thank you

[@silasmorrison2899]

Rich, I could watch and learn these exercises all day! Your teaching style is smooth as butter!

[@doolittle1927]

I am so happy to have these exercises. The music is wonderful, and you have a world-class sense of humor. Very motivating!

[@michaelburbine305]

"... but it will keep you busy for the rest of your life." Awesome delivery! Nailed it. Your knowledge, wisdom, and humor is priceless. Thanks for helping all of us out here.

[@michaelstephens2040]

Rich, The simplicity of this exercise is also the beauty of it. Excellent job as always.

[@bobbrendel758]

This is simplicity itself. Absolutely brilliant.

[@AlbertoPedrosa-sr3mw]

Thank you very much Rich!,... It has been a very interesting and revealing Class! GOD BLESS YOU Alberto Pedrosa

[@vickyarifsetiawan]

"This might be a very short video ;)" end up 17 mins, luv it!

[@richbrownbass]

My idea of short. LOL! I'm trying to get these things down by about 5 or so minutes, but there's always so much to cover. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@bAgRiMoIrEsS.4]

I enjoyed listening to your arpeggio lesson. You've given me something new to think about as a bass player. Once I get the gist of it, it's like gold. Awesome channel your a very likeable person.

[@deafprof]

Peace and love to you too! :)

[@PivotThom]

Your channel is a blessing for all bassists who want to improve their playing. Thank you for these wonderful videos.

[@Joey0367]

Rich thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You make learning bass so much fun and your humor is another spice to the ingredients of success.

[@garyr1934]

You have as much to offer in your approach as you do in content This is the highest quality of lessons it can get I say this as a professional music teacher Thanks for inspiring

[@elhijodelriff]

Amazing bro. I'm a guitarist and I started playing bass too, a couple of months ago. I have the advantage of fingering, but I never had the theory or the technique of the bass player. thanks for the arpeggios

[@lewispenfold5437]

There i was... just playing through this exercise, and there they were! all the diatonic chords i have been practicing time and time again...... Your lessons are fantastic and filling many many gaps in my (woeful) musical knowledge. thank you.

[@richbrownbass]

This makes me very happy. Thank you, very much.

[@jenniplease]

I'm absolutely loving this exercise and your channel. I struggle to stay engaged with scales but arpeggios are where the music is at! That minor even to odds sequence is chefs kiss. Donation sent. Thank you and keep it up Mr. Brown!

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you so much, Jenni! I do truly appreciate the support, and your very kind words.

[@tinotino84]

Rich you are a master! Master in playing, master in teaching and a master in making video! I Love the channel, love the lessons, love your voice! Thanks from Italy

[@waderogers776]

Great stuff! It reminds me that all is there on the fretboard...waiting to be discovered.So glad I found your channel...the exercises have unlocked a whole new way of looking at the fretboard and how to bring more to my playing. Thanks, Rich!

[@richbrownbass]

This makes me very happy. Thank you, Wade.

[@dkbbass403]

Another winner! I had never thought of doing this. Donation made keep up the excellent work. Your videos never disappoint

[@markkangas7774]

Wow, I missed this one. What a great warm up! Thanks Rich!

[@euniceunlayao9355]

You are such a great teacher bc you go slow. I could tell that you are passionate musician n a teacher. Thank you! I could do this fast if I practice everyday. Awesome!

[@pedrovinicius5721]

The only vídeo I've seen in this Channel and I'm already in love, Just the little time practicing this and i don't even think to creating chords anymore, amazing work friend!! Really apreciate

[@richbrownbass]

My pleasure, Ken!

[@ThomasLaVeist]

Great lesson, as always! I will definitely add this to my practice sessions.

[@microrecording]

Finally, I found you! Rich, I love your sound and your approach. This is the most enjoyable bass channel !

[@richbrownbass]

Thanks very much, Pascal! That means a lot.

[@francettakapsa3389]

Thankyou so much I started out with a bass and than purchased a ubass ukulele because it was lighter to use and I’m using your method it’s working out better than the actual ubass ukulele lesson I was paying for😊

[@russellf4114]

OK, This is insane!!! It's a very simple concept, BUT this concept gives you such facility and movement throughout almost any scale ( I personally consider modes and scales the same thing/ different versions of each other. As in Ionian = 1, Dorian = 1a. and so on) This lesson is a blessing!!!!! Thank you Rich Brown!!!!!

[@richbrownbass]

I'm so glad, Russel. Thanks as always for tuning in.

[@rowert1165]

Best regards from Poland !

[@MrHarry0000010]

Thank you for your time and your blessing!

[@vinsharrelson2246]

Excellent lesson! Once I've got it under my fingers, I will apply this to all the modes. Definitely useful for a warm up ritual! Thanks for sharing!

[@richbrownbass]

This is one of my favourite things to play. You're gonna love it!

This is a really good exercise thank you, i feel its helping me a lot and i like how it sounds, i groove on it slowly with drum loops. And the number of variations... Actually i comment it like two weeks after seeing the video, just found a new pattern and i thought it deserved a thanks

Thank you for this Rich, a great lesson. So glad I stumbled across your channel.

[@zakariadriouche8719]

Thank you for sharing

[@WCruttenden]

I've been learning the melodic minor modes this weekend. Combining those with your exercise makes a lot of sense.

[@richbrownbass]

It does. It's such a great sound. One cool melodic minor exercise you could try is playing the 'odds' up to the 11th, then coming down the scale to the root. Playing this on all the modes in order makes for a beautiful etude.

[@WCruttenden]

@@richbrownbass That's tonight's exercises taken care of then. Thanks again!

[@pageboy6155]

Yes, this video could have been 6 min. But then we would have missed the expansion possibilities. So don't worry about a short video. A teacher shows the lesson. A master says "now check this out" and reveals their thinking. Your enthusiasm of possibilities is inspiring to me as a student. Priceless.

[@richbrownbass]

That means a lot. Thank you so much.

[@philipmcadam5339]

To me, simple things are often the most elegant. A good friend of mine said it thus, If something has two parts, each part must be right or it will not work. If there are 43 parts, if one piece is not quite perfect, you can jiggle the next 42 pieces and make it all work out in the end. Thanks again Rich.

[@jfjones1953]

@@richbrownbass Hi Rich, I'm working on this exercise again today, and I have a quick question about fingering the natural minor scale. Ascending, you explained/showed that you use 134 on both the 4-fret spreads (on E and A strings) and 5-fret spreads (on D and G strings). Is it okay to use 134, 134, 124, 124 instead?

[@CapeFearConstrictors910]

This is brilliant …..recently picked up a six-string and working out arpeggios again….this will be fun
