Your Path to a Better Groove (part 2)

[@andrewmcmahon6432]

It's amazing how moving away from where people think a phrase should start changes the groove, that and the swung 16th notes sounds great.

[@richbrownbass]

Right?! I've always loved how one phrase can have many different 'feels' depending on where you start that phrase in the bar.

[@manjoujanzen9375]

Love it. Thanks Rich. More of that groooooovvvveee bass….

[@michelleinwi6919]

Ooo eee I like what happens at about the 6 minute mark. Sweet.

[@jubelpanggabean7436]

Wow this is what i'm looking for, greeting from Indonesia and i have learn so much from your video mr. brown

[@larrylefebour9324]

this was really helpful - thanks Rich! Breaking this down to really understand the placement & shifts is helping me feel this better. In the past, when filling in the space between the repeated pattern, I’d often hit a “panic point” where I’d realize I wouldn’t be able to launch into the pattern again at the right spot. This is helping me to visualize & better anticipate the shape of the groove 👍🙏

[@SquashDaBeef]

I recently learned The More I Get, The More I Want by Teddy Pendergrass. It's a masterclass in 16th note subdivisions

[@markfoster_mkfbass]

That smell...again!😉😂💣 Nice one. Simple concept, tons of creative possibilities!🙏

[@charlesdroidable]

dig the look/color/saturation of this vid too. Warm and cozy

[@richbrownbass]

Thank you very much. I'm still learning about colour grading for these videos. I really like the look as well. I think for the next one I'll go for the same vibe, but I'll dial back the 🟧 a bit more.

[@anthonycook4297]

Ya,man ! Love it … and watch out there ‼️Some great grooves to move 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@AlecBridges]

Cool shirt. (And great lesson)

[@peterfischer9993]

Love your stuff. Nailing down the basics really brings the funk. LOVE it when you make a little mistake. Makes the whole thing fun and human.

[@nireekshanreddyvnr6890]

I am Nireekshan Reddy from Hyderabad. I am a professional Bassist. I watched most of your videos truly amazing stuff which will be useful for our live performances. Thank you very much bro.

Sounds cool great !!! For bass 🎸 rhythms Melody's.

[@philipmcadam5339]

It's magic and we shall call this magic, "music". Thanks for the magic Rich. Peace and love to you.

[@darekkrawiec3025]

Glad you're back 😁 Love your Groove lessons, they made my groove more groovy 😄

[@christophercheney1006]

Way to make me groove harder. Sweet shirt my dude!

[@richbrownbass]

Haha. Thank you very much...on both counts!

[@josephromano7867]

So many creative ways to groove!!

[@davidloflin3098]

Good week for a double dose of groove Rich, thanks.🤘👊

[@deeginese6756]

I keep coming back to these two lessons. Crazy how so many grooves come from those subtle variations. Trying to stay mindful of this.

[@shayna2830]

That's for sure! When I started writing songs and not just jamming, covering or adding to ones that my peers wrote, I found this dilemma that happened very frequently to me and, j found out later, others. When you are looking for a chord progression to start on, to write around ..most of them are so familiar lol. Like I could randomly pick a B flat progression and after playing it for a few minutes straight, I would start to hear a song that existed. It bothered the hell out of me! So much so, that I stopped composing on purpose lol. I would basically just make a vamp loop on my guitar, sit down and feel out a moody, funky , groovy drum track. Then I'd literally just stand there with my eyes closed getting deep into the creation. Feeling the drums and getting the sound of the chord into my head so much that it was the only thing in there. Then I'd start going at it. Keeping the deepest possible groove the track would allow and diddle around with whatever I could think of that went with it. Most times, I'll get something out that just clicks in my head. I record it and throw it in the loop....boom, song started. I've locked in 5 songs that I am pretty much satisfied with. And about 300 thag are still sitting on my hard drive waiting for me to grow them lol

[@klaussturh3445]

to put it metaphorically: your tutorials lead directly into the engine room of the steamer! Really helpful, thank you so much!

[@hocheelin5599]

Thanks, I always take away something I can use from your videos

[@thomaswalker8790]

Yet another Richie's super cool video. Actually, this helps me to play raggae bass lines a lot more comfortably. This is the great spin off

[@richbrownbass]

I love that. Thank you very much, Thomas.

[@thomaswalker8790]

My pleasure, Guess, this makes you stand out. You kinda remind me of the great Victor Wooten cos he always says practice shouldn't be boring. You just took to a whole another level Richie. I never get tired of watching your videos. Great 👍👍👍

[@davidkolpak713]

So basic, yet so productive and easy to groove!!

[@stewartent2009]

Wow Im hooked, No one has ever broke it down like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@N0B0DY_SP3C14L]

It's funny how you always swing the hell out of the notes. It's kinda badass. Respect. Good lesson.

[@adriannavarro388]

Great stuff, as always... Just have to find the time to sit down and practice along

[@carytodd7211]

I just found my favorite bass channel. These grooves are killer, so smooth. I'll be using these immediately.

[@michaelhedrick2561]

Super cool! Thanks and welcome back!

[@gaetanodistefano6394]

Just stumbled across your channel. Brilliant stuff. I have been struggling with rhythm and groove and you just made it all sound so simple.

[@Reverend_Funky]

Feeling it in the body helps you "Play" the rest notes! You got some great lessons here even for someone that has been around a long time lol. Keep up the great work!

[@michaelalbatros9591]

This is a game changer for me!!! I practice it everyday :)

[@MichaelJohnson-kx9yr]

Stop it Bro !!!! Thats too fire .. love what you are doing ..

[@DamirDart]

Thanks

[@Omarencarnacion1]

Ok cool hehehe, well i love the first theme song, but we can see the new one hehehe; but i love the first one hehehe...thanks for the lesson, love it, i need more pratice thank you

[@РегинаЖелезнякова-и4ъ]

Wonderful ❤

[@jor_dasan1810]

thanks Rich! great stuff! these exercises are milestones for grooving! greetings from Colombia! Respect!

Thanks man. Right on it.

Thanks, Rich!

My pleasure, Michael.

[@errolcampbell304]

very cool 😎

[@jeanmarienoe]

This s great. I m working on this with my teacher on actually a post punk song called love like blood by killing joke, and we started to work on your teaching, thanks again

[@richbrownbass]

Dude! I love that tune. Killing Joke is such a great band. I'm so glad this lesson can help you out.

[@Sunshinesmile1]

Hello Mr Brown thanks for this lesson could you make a vidéo concerning slash chords please congrats for your beautiful work

[@richbrownbass]

In all honesty, that has always been a struggle for me as well. I wouldn't be the best guy to ask about this. Players like Scott Devine, or Damian Erskine or pdbass (my favourite bass channel) would be far more knowledgable about this.

[@MrHeshersNeighborhood]

This was great.

[@sharolmongrain8022]

Thanx Rich 🙌

[@DamirDart]

Thank you, Rich! I like your videos very much. Just sent you 5 $

[@gulbalagulba23]

love it rich !

[@russellf4114]

OK, first I have to say this is deeper that The Pacific Ocean!!! Now, with that said, the first part of that phrase you played sounded like a Bootsy Collins riff when he talked about playing on" The One" then add notes. I have to say you have INSANE FACILITY!!!!!

[@richbrownbass]

Thanks very much as always, brother Russell. 🙏🏾

[@Bracken1765]

Loved your “better grove, part 1 and 2” videos. Would it be possible to demonstrate those groves in REGGAE, BLUES, or Rock? I have tried it, but would be good to hear how a pro does it. Thank you

[@travisreed5965]

I Vote All Knew Intro - So Dig This Part 2 But I Am Still Not There With Adding Notes - Still Working On Time And Remembering Which Note I Am Switching Out - Part 1 Was A Bit "easier" For Adding Other Notes On Bars 3 & 4 - Not Sure Why I Am Hung Up But Really Appreciating These Episodes - Keep On Keeping On Mr Rich Go Team Human, Cheers

Take your time, my brother. Team Human is here for you.

[@renzogentile7865]

Please rich can you make a less about triplets and may be shuffled time you are the best bass teacher!!

[@christopherphinney9585]

Rich another gem of a lesson! Do you have a lesson that deals with swinging the phrase? You mention it in your video and I have heard it a lot but not sure how to accomplish it. Or what it’s supposed to sound like vs straight time. Thanks!

[@christopherphinney9585]

I think I found one of your vids that teaches a 16th note swing groove. I’ll take a listen.

[@redd6399]

Hey Rich ...Glad you're feeling better bro🙏🏽 .....I missed where you said the metronome was get at? Great content as always.

[@richbrownbass]

Hey Redd. Thank you! My metronome is set to 80 bpm with beats 1 and 3 turned off. If you're not able to mute specific beats on your metronome you can set yours to 40 bmp and think of the click on 2 and 4. Hope that makes sense. 🙏🏾

Getting a new bass guitar soon, what is the best advice you could give me

[@denisyanes4437]

What metronome do you use, sir?

[@WhereTheBASShasNoName]

Rich, what do you use to get that drum beat? Is it an app or a website? I downloaded The Groove app from Scott's Bass Lessons but all the grooves are too fast for my playing at my level currently
