- Happy New Year, my dear friends & neighbours.
We're kicking off this new year with a lesson on how to make your pentatonic scale patterns sing. In this lesson, I'm talking about patterns and phrases that you'll be able to add to your vocabulary right now! Check it out. I hope you enjoy it.
LET'S TAKE IT TO THE BASS!

I just found Rich Brown a month ago and I swear he is God’s gift to music. Life changing!!!
That's very kind of you to say. Thank you so much, Timothy! I truly appreciate it.
Good work as always. The accessibility of the pentatonic scale is a great way to "find" other scales and modes, tasting their flavors. Starting with the minor pentatonic, you can experiment with the tones that define Dorian, Phrygian, Aeolian and Blues scales respectively by integrating but a single additional note. The same goes with the major flavored modes. So in truth, you are never leaving the comfort of the simple pentatonic shapes, you are just adding seasoning. Its a great way to expand the musical palette and start looking at "wrong" notes as more than just passing tones.
I want to say: I love your way of teaching. Calm, confident and clear. You’re born to do this I think. I’ve seen many teachers on TH-cam, but you’re making things easier, not more complex. It almost feels like a real life lesson. Will check more of you. Thanks!!!
Bass-playing fingers and a radio voice. Good stuff.
Thanks Sir, Great Class, I enjoy and Learn!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇵🇷
dang! i sit down for 1 min to check out youtube, now you got me practicing... lol
I'm working through these pentatonic videos and they are a total joy. My playing is getting better and I'm able to 'see' the beautiful patterns unfold. Also your whole vibe is simply a pleasure to be around! Thanks Rich
Picked up my bass again after 25 year hiatus and Rich has been incredibly helpful to me. These lessons are so well explained and paced perfectly, clearly explained and demonstrated. I'm actually starting to understand how things fit together, moved way past my old plateau, and am enjoying the instrument so much more than I did in the past. Thank you, Rich!
Man....am I glad I found your channel
I knew you were gonna say the flat 5! Haha. Love that sound. The "option" of the blues note makes it especially tasty when brought out in passing. Makes the listener go, whoa, that was a cool passage. What was that?
The flat 5.One of my favorite notes.I had to rely more on my ear to make sure I played all the notes in the sequences.An interesting informative lesson.Thank you.
Thanks Rich for making cool 😎 things happen. I'm finding the beauty in the scales that were at one time so tedious. Great job!
Thankyou, sir, for another insightful lesson. I'm loving seeing things through fresh eyes as a result of your videos
I just experienced such a gifted player and above all talented teacher . Thanks sir Rich Brown for such lessons 😊😊
Yes Rich! The 2nd mode of the minor pentatonic is the major, the 2nd visual shape of the min pentatonic is the major pentatonic.
Then it’s just about running the shapes with a sequence, and you’re halfway there. Just throw in some ornamentations like bends and slides to make it more musical and expressive 👍👍👍👍 possibly on the flat 5th for minor, or min 3rd for the major!
You know your stuff 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍👍👍
This is a very cool exercise!
Good for me !!!".
Rich, Thank You,
Excellent lesson
Another great approach to what is seemingly 'common place' on the fretboard....it's amazing how you bring such fresh ideas to scales we play all the time! Thanks for another great insight.
Loving this lesson....explains things really clearly and encourages to explore Major and Minor. Thanks so much.
Thanks for a great lesson
Wow! This is like the missing link in hipness. Love how you toss away the idea of the blues scale and just think of it as adding the flat 5. Playing around with this for just a minute and I'm having a eureka moment. Well done as always sir. I feel like I should bump up my patreon contribution just for this first 2 minutes of this vid
Love this
🔥🙌🏾😎
Great vid. Practice summary:
1. Four note sequence climbing each note of the minor pentatonic scale
2. Four note sequence including the blue note (♭⁵)
3. Four note sequence including the blue note (♭⁵) but excluding the perfect fifth (♮⁵)
4. Major pentatonic with blue note (♭³) as a passing tone
5. Jam with it… major and minor
Bonus: the blue note (eg E♭) is also a minor triad (E♭ G♭ B♭) giving the blue chord of C major (♭³ ♭⁵ ♭⁷) or A minor (♭⁵ 𝄫⁷/♮⁶ ♭⁹) …a passing chord (between chords ii & iii or IV & V)
🎶🙏🏿💫
Thank you, this is brilliant. I’ve been trying to figure out how to actually incorporate these three together especially major pentatonic with blues scale.
This is so much fun thank you Mr Brown
Hell yeah Rich, nice one, that run at the end is killer
I am a 6-string guitar player and this absolutely applies to us as well. This is a great lesson. I subscribed as well. Thank you!
Great as always, thank you!
Awesome Rich, love these videos!
Hello,
Good lessons, like your style.
Raoel.
Rich I really thank you for this lesson. Pentatonics have so many vast differences in reference to shapes and intervals and it’s like you open my mind up to these things…
Thank you very much. Je cherche ce type de video depuis très très longtemps. En plus le rythme de vos explications est super ( pas trop vite. Le temps d’assimiler.) fantastique
Slurred speech takes on a new meaning (end of vid slides that is). Thanks a billion!
Good lesson to break-in the New Year!
Keep on keeping on brotha!
Really cool, good stuff
Great stuff💎
Just love the whole concept, that rich sort of icing on the cake so to speak and, it does sing.
always a pleasure watching you teach, my brother.
Bassist to Bassist another great lesson...Thanks again Rich.🎵
Excellent episode Rich
Thanks very much! 🙂
I like your playing..if I could get in my band I would
Such simple magic! Just like music, thanks Rich. Love and peace to you.
Peace and love to you and yours as well, Philip. And thank you so much for your support.
Very cool. Thanks!
Great lesson Rich as always, have yourself and your family a Bonne Année 2022... 😀
Very cool patterns and creates so many good grooves, Rich. Awesome job!

Opening new doors. Thank you, Mr. Brown. Small donation made.
Good and great insight
Good information. Thanks for sharing it.
In addition to the clarity and freshness of your musical ideas, we also get these sweet jaw-dropping moments (like at 1:56 and 15:32). A most happy new year to you, sir!
Happy New Year, brother Ken. All the best to you and yours.
thanks for yur post!!!
Really nice video, thank you
Another great tutorial by one Mr. Brown ! Thank you sir....
Outstanding lesson Rich your playing & delivery is great. Multiple ways of looking at 1 scale shape👍🏻 . And when you turn loose & improvise, awesome 🎸😁. Very smooth & tasteful
Thank you Rich, I'm really enjoying learning through your Brown Stone channel. You are a great teacher. I am making progress from just playing the root notes and I feel like I am starting to get to grips with the fret board.
Wow love your way! The names of the scales intimidated me so I had a learning block. But your translation & demeanor are comprehensible bc I play by ear. Thank You 🤙🏽
Thank you so much for this great lesson. Excellent delivery and structure with just the right amount of theory. I'm just starting out on my bass journey, although I play other instruments, and I'm look forward to spending a lot of time on your channel over the coming months and years.
That F bass jazz sounds incredible. But im here for the pentatonic word
Nice sound. Thanks a lot for such clear explanations. Greetings from Spain
Man! That's so awesome, so cool the way you do your thing: but still don't fully understand everything. When you were finishing, I love what you did
Thank you man😎
I absolutely love your playing Rich ! So glad to see and hear you step out into the brave internet world to shine a light on the inner workings of tha Bass ! All the best from Oakland, Kai
Brother Kai! You already know I've been a huge fan of yours for years. I'm honoured by your very kind words. Means a great deal coming from you, my brother. Thank you so much. All the best to you and yours from here in Toronto.
Using the 5b card, nice 😊
Hey! Great Lesson! I had some classes with you at Humber College that I remember with "cariño" Greetings from Mexico City!
Thanks Rich for helping the bass community with your amazing videos. I personally want to ask to repeat (please) that master class you gave to the Scott Bass lesson on modes and how to mix them to have a option of target notes
Awesome! Similar to Funkadelic’s “Who says a funk band can’t play rock”.
Rich I have played guitar a long time, but need help on bass and I really like your scale work, thanks for great instructions.🎸
Parabéns pelo conteúdo!!!!👏👏👏saudações do Brasil.
All, your videos have such an amazing uplifting, many faceted vibe.. totally enlightening, gifted conveyence of insight, excellent all around guidance from the heart of a truly gifted musician and teacher, your spontaneous in the moment riffage is, drop dead, gorgeously, dreamy and inspiring.
Only know ya from here and i luv ya dude, back again too listen an learn from a far and away totally amazing presence, much respect and appreciation..
What a beautiful compliment. Thank you so very much, John. These words truly mean a lot. 🙏🏾❤️
That example at 1:56…I’d love to hear a lesson on that one as well
very good
Gréât tuto
you are inspiring me big time!!!!!
Thanks, Leo. That means a lot, brother.
Very cool exercise! I appreciate these little bits of coolness that you throw out here for free. If I ever get back to making money again I will join. Five bucks is a steal. And btway, I love your Fbasses! George makes some of the best instruments ever. I hope to get a custom by him someday. I had 3 of them but they were stolen along with all of my gear a couple years ago. The AC-5 is the best fretless I’ve ever played. I at least want another one someday.
You never cease to amaze me with ideas I've never thought of! I get so many little tidbits of information from you that help me out tremendously! Playing the minor "blues" scale and leaving out the perfect 5th sounds so mean! I'm positive that I've done this before. However, I've never given this the weight that I should have! This fits perfectly into my playing! You're the man Rich!
Also, a late HAPPY NEW YEAR to you as well!
I truly appreciate the kind words, Timothy. I try to keep things as simple as possible for myself. This approach to the pentatonic scale makes the most sense for my own playing. FYI, I take the same approach to melodic & harmonic minor scales. I still think natural minor or Dorian. I just know that the major 7th is there whenever I want. Welcome to 'Bass Playing for Dummies.' lol
@@richbrownbass Well for me, the easier it can be kept the better!!! I always overcomplicate things!!!🤣🤣🤣
Hi Rich, I'm a farly new bass player. First time I've seen one of your videos. I really enjoyed it and look forward to watching more.
Thanks so much, Ken. Welcome to the channel!
Thanks for out of standart way 👍
Great lesson again, especially as I am am going to have to track backwards as I have missed a few lessons...
More importantly Happy New Year!! 😊
Fab sound Rich and great explanations! Could you say something also on 'thumb fatigue' caused by rpressing on the back of the neck? I am new to your channel; great work and good pace of presentation, thank you!
I call the major pentatonic with minor 3rd added "the BB King scale". I believe he used it extensively
Great lesson, thanks a lot! All the best for 2022! 😊
Fantastic lesson Rich! Wow!
I love your tone - had Many basses over the years. The tone and apparent flexibility of those strings look and sound amazing!
What are they please? Make/gauges??
Blessings and thank you!
🙏🙏🙏
No compliments from me this time, everything is written down below. Are you considering to go live? I believe it's worth trying! 1000 thx for the lesson and 1000 cheers!
☝️this guy is a a legend 👍👍👍👍coolest face behind the bass
Thanks so much for his informative video. Love the fresh perspective on pentatonics. Also, what strings are you using on the FBass? I love that sound and would like to put them on my F as well…thanks much. 👍
I don’t know what bass that is but you make it sound so nice! Love it! Maybe a Sire bass?
Looks like an F-bass to me. Nice👍🏾👍🏾
@@dirkl216 oh thanks. I never heard of those. I wasn’t sure what that headstock symbol was. I’ll look it up! You rock! (or jazz, or funk lol)
Is there another way that you can explain, which is easier to understand?
Man I truly enjoy your teaching. By chance are you able to tell us what type of bass and amp setup you are using? Do you have other places to access teaching materials other than TH-cam?
Thank you so much, Fitz. The only other place would be Scott's Bass Lessons.
I'm using an VF5 made by F Bass. For these videos I'm plugging into an interface and recording onto Logic Pro X.
Greetings. Just subbed
Oh...xrap you're a ukulele player
Thank you! Welcome, Theo.
Hi Rich, do you teach one on one lessons on zoom? if so where can I find the details?
Cheers.
Mr. Brown Greetings I love what you doing, but can you slow it down so I can see what you are doing lol Thanks and keep up the good teaching !
Hi Rich I was just wondering are you using flat wound strings on your F bass? Love your channel ❤️
First
Also great lesson that I 100% needed because I’ve been struggling with this 5eva
Could someone please recommend reasonably well-known songs using F# our Gb major pentatonic?
2:55 Jungle Boogie? Kool and the Gang?
why changing from 4 snare to 5 snare guitar ?? its confusing
Rich, I hate to show my ignorance, but are those Fender basses?
Looks like an F-bass to me. They have a really nice tone👍🏾👍🏾
@@dirkl216 thanks man…I’m pretty much out of touch with ‘new’ stuff…I see the stylized F on the headstock and I thought perhaps Fender had changed their logo…I play a ‘76 P bass and a very modified ‘80 G&L L1000 fretless…but I hear there are lots of new basses out there…I dig Rich’s tone for sure…
