Do you know what I really like about your teaching style? You demonstrate the lessons SLOWLY. You never RUSH through it. Nothing worse than a teacher who plays and blows through the lesson so fast, that the student doesn’t even have time to keep up or even understand. You never do that. You teach slow and concise, allowing the student the ability to follow along and absorb all the information. BRAVO!…Much respect. 👍😎👍
I’ve played guitar for several decades, but I’m pretty new to learning bass. I ‘knew’ this stuff already, but you have a wonderful way of explaining it (and I always look for better ways of understanding theory)…I feel like I ‘know’ it a bit better now. You have an incredible way of speaking and teaching.
Maaaan…..I’ve watched this video SO…MANY…TIMES because I just couldn’t get it. But just now it finally clicked! Omg I totally get it!! Lmao! 😅😅I’m beyond happy because I feel like I’ve unlocked the mystery of the major and minor scales! Now I feel like I can improvise a bit better because i actually understand what It is I’m doing! Thanks so much! You’re the greatest! 😅
Holy crap something just clicked in me, I've been holding on learning scales for a week now because it sounds daunting for a beginner thank you so much
This is exactly what I was looking for, No over the top goofy youtube personality, no ridiculous editing and not making the video about yourself. Right to the point, very informative and simple to understand. Thanks man I really appreciate it, I'm coming from a drumming and synthesizer background and I want to pick up bass next, The way you've explained how scales work on the bass made a lot of sense to me. I'm going to be coming back to this video to practice. much appreciated
I just want to say you are a great teacher. Your explanations are so easy to understand. I’m just starting on the bass and you make it encouraging for people to learn.
Nicely demonstrated Rich. I think it's at this point when folks learning to play have a light bulb moment on music theory. It's like the first turn of the key that unlocks the magic box. When you quickly realise that this relationship happens all over the neck, it's a time of great advances in understanding the fretboard.
Really appreciate the way you teach and this connection between major and relative minor is so helpful to me. Coming from years of piano and guitar this really helps a lot! Thank you
Good stuff Rich, your style makes it easy to understand. I learned to play bass when I was 15 in 1969, my mother taught me how to read music and then when I was introduced to the Circle of Fifths, it all made more sense. I never stop studying and learning. Thanks!
i could have been a pro i have enough time behind the keyboard (and starting to learn above the keyboard learning and loving piano). Mr. Tone, you have enlightened me even more than i knew... simplicity Thank you.
I understand scales well in theory but when it comes to just being able to pick up and play an arbitrary scale on the bass or guitar I've been a little overwhelmed. This was the first explainer I've seen that wasn't overburdened by confusing charts. I'll have to practice and rewatch a couple times, but I've yet to see this put more clearly, thank you!
Thank you RIch for such a great explanation. You extended my pattern-thinking to the next level. Please keep up your excellent work! I truly enjoyed this video!
That's It, I am a Professional Thanks. No Just Kidding, but I do think your approach to the Major and Minor on the Bass with the Finger Count hit home for me better than trying to remember the Notes. You went from being a Musician to a Mathematician. I really like the Mike Tyson combination of playing the scales. It's a Knockout winner. Thanks Again
WOW!!! That was the fret board pattern that I have needed in the last two years of piecemeal study....harpist turned bass player here and I have been searching for that "key" that would unlock the fret board for me melodicly...you are awesome! Thank you neighbor 😊
All Hail Maestro Brown who's lovely way of bringing joy and wisdom to our fingers is a revelation - (and a helluva lotta soul-feeding fun). Prof Brown, I have been woodshedding with your videos for days now; you have given me much and my appreciation is massive. Heaps of praise upon you and may fortune smile on your happy home. *[Ps I wish to hell you were anywhere close, I'd give the proverbial eye tooth to study with you in person.] Merci, Gracias, Thanx.
I wish my high school band teacher was patient enough to teach me this theory when I played tuba. Glad to have found your videos as I begin learning bass. Thank you Mr. Brown!
A very good basic theory lesson.Not a play along job but a listen and learn.With all this information should give basic theory concept about notes and scales.I will just have to keep watching over multiple times until becomes all clear.I am ok with reading time scales and tablature but need more education on scales.I am glad I found this,no chalk board or ruler just right.
"Saan ka noong naghahanap ako ng makakaturo sa akin ng Bass?" That's Filipino for "Where were you when I'm looking for a Bass Teacher?" Love this vid. And I'm sure I'll be scanning your channel for more.❤❤
By far one of your best teachings, brotha Rich! I love how you break it down slow with finger placement. It is very hard to find videos for the beginner/intermediate player. This is how I learn and makes me a better player. Can you please go over your lesson from SBL on the modes or the different way you play them. I think it's playing the 6th🤦🏾🤷🏾♂️ Thank you so much for helping everyone and being generous with your knowledge! You are greatly appreciated!
I just want to say I absolutely appreciate your teaching style. This is the first bass scale video I've been able to follow along with and actually learn from and I've watched several. Thank you so much and keep up the good work. You've got a new subscriber!
Been playing for ages but this video has changed up my understanding of not over thinking which I’ve always done as I wasn’t one of the lucky people born with a good ear haha. Than you for this awesome lesson dude ❤
Everything makes absolute sense. Thank you so much, sir. This video gave me the answers for a lot of previous questions. I may have a look at more videos of your channel.
That was a massive light bulb moment for me! I thought I had the major and minor scales learned well at this point but didn’t connect the relationship between the two or how to extend them across all 4 strings. Thanks Rich, this was super helpful! I’d be keen to see a video like this for 5 or 6 string too.
Im trying to learn all of this and can't understand past the mixture of the minor A scale with the major C scale. Do you recommend other videos of yours?
Man this felt like it unlocked something in my head. I picked up my bass immediately, restarted the video, and immediately got to practicing it
Same!!
Greatest teacher in the whole wide world.
Wow! That's VERY kind. Thank you!
I second that
I stopped watching someone elses video because this dude just looked so chill in his thumbnail. 😂 glad i made the right choice
Dang, a teacher who's actually teaching instead of just showing off and making it impossible for us to follow along! Thank you!
Do you know what I really like about your teaching style? You demonstrate the lessons SLOWLY. You never RUSH through it.

seems he understands how to teach effectively, understanding how people learn/ pick things up is an incredible skill
@
Playing and teaching are two separate skills. This man has BOTH. 👍
Beginners, intermediate players, and pros. There's something in this video for all of you. I hope it helps.
Thanks for watching!🙏🏾❤

All beginner bass players should be required to watch this video. Thank you Rich Brown for this amazing video, it opened many doors for me!
ive learned a lot already from this guy. incredibly grateful for this mans existence
the way you tied in the music theory in this video is wonderful. as a beginner bassist, i thank you
Appreciate the smooth and fundamental teaching. Scales of all kinds and varieties are absolutely essential to building music and melodies. Cheers.
I could not agree more. Thank you very much!
@@richbrownbass You are always welcome!
Thank you! I like how mathematical and pattern oriented music is on the bass. It's so cool.
Major Scale: 2:28
Lydian Scale: 4:25
Natural Minor Scale: 6:10
Minor Scale: 7:17
Minor scale extended: 10:28
Major scale template: 11:17
thanks for doing this man

thank you so much - this is helpful. my bass teacher is teaching me scales but i didn't get the relationship and how it extended across all 4 strings
I never really check out stuff like this because I've played SOO long but I know NOTHING about scales, reading, etcetera. GRRREAT VIDEO! Thanks Rich.
I’m a keyboard player just now starting out on bass. Thanks for making this! Very informative and easy to understand
Sir, you are a treasure! Thank you so much for these wonderfully helpful videos. I’m a beginner bassist but you help me a lot.
I just want to say you are a great teacher. Your explanations are so easy to understand. I’m just starting on the bass and you make it encouraging for people to learn.

Drummer here, learning bass. I know how to read tabs, I have not learned the fretboard yet as in notes, But tabs would be very helpful. Thank you.
My friend I can't even express how thankful I am. I've learnt more in a couple of your short videos than on some classes!
Thank you!
Rich, you are an excellent teacher. This made so much sense.
Just seeing all these comments I’m 39 seconds into the video and excited!!
A different perspective on a simple major scale. Great lesson as usual!
Thank you for taking the music theory and PRACTICALLY explaining it so it applies to the bass.
i could have been a pro i have enough time behind the keyboard (and starting to learn above the keyboard learning and loving piano). Mr. Tone, you have enlightened me even more than i knew... simplicity Thank you.

I needed this video. The way you broke everything down made things click for me. Thank you for making this.
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching.
wow! thk you so much! my first time in 20 years I understand this as clearly!
Just discovered your channel, you’re an awesome teacher, things are getting clearer and clearer. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.
Always love your lessons I learn so much from each one
Great video. This can go right into the circle of 5ths lesson too. I see the correlation!
I knew this stuff, but if this is the first time you learn about scales, it's a good place to start.
you are a fantastic teacher. my new favorite channel!
Wow, thank you so much!
A very good basic theory lesson.Not a play along job but a listen and learn.With all this information should give basic theory concept about notes and scales.I will just have to keep watching over multiple times until becomes all clear.I am ok with reading time scales and tablature but need more education on scales.I am glad I found this,no chalk board or ruler just right.
I started to watch your video and I already play in an another level. You are my inspiration Mr Brown.
So music is like a fish. It has scales.
fascinating. 😁
Awesome vid.
Picked up my bass for the first time in a decade last night. I will be doing that again. Every day for at least an hour.

You just opened up something in my mind. Another mystery demystified. Thank you!
Thanks Rich, that is beautiful, it makes so much sense. Hurry up with the next lesson I'm hungry.
Big respect to you Rich.
Outstanding lesson. Thank you!
I just want to say I absolutely appreciate your teaching style. This is the first bass scale video I've been able to follow along with and actually learn from and I've watched several. Thank you so much and keep up the good work. You've got a new subscriber!

I am truly enjoying your tutorials, and my enjoyment of playing is growing daily
You are a great bassist. Thank you for all the knowledge you give us I will be praying for you.

You made sound and look so easy. Thank you
Nice, your chill makes it easy to learn. Thx much
I recognize a great teacher when I surprise myself nodding alone and answering while listening to a video 🤣
Watching your videos inspires me to practice even more..thanks!
Can't eat too get home and mess with that major scale template👍
Really excellent video! This really helped me understand scales on the bass, and on the guitar!
Genius 🥹
That was really helpful. I knew the templates but the way you described the relationship between them was new to me. Thank you 🙏
Another spectacular lesson. So much growth from this channel. Thank you.
I appreciate that. Thank you so much for watching!
Marvelous explanation. Thank you very much!

Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Superb lesson!
You're phenomenal!
Wonderful wonderful wonderful
You are the best on the Planet !
Im trying to learn all of this and can't understand past the mixture of the minor A scale with the major C scale. Do you recommend other videos of yours?
Beautiful....I get it! Thanks man.
Wow! I just “got it!” I had never understood relative minors before. Now I have unlocked the fretboard.
I love that. Thank you very much for watching!
I love this, Bass Scales, I'm going fishing. Peace and love.
Enjoy, brother Philip. Thanks as always for watching!
Your an inspiration to me. Thank you for helping me to become a bass player!
Wonderful lesson. Thank you.

Such a great lesson! Thank you!
Super clear lesson
