The transition into the intro was slick!
Haha! Thanks very much!
You took the words right out of my mouth dude 😀
That was really cool but in the actual recording I love the tone of that bass it just nice and warm
Straight up best bass teacher around
Thank you so much. Please do spread the word. I could us all the help I can get.
Indeed!! knowledgeable, engaging, great personality, and one of the best players all around!!!!
Agree
“1-3-5-shift”, I was practicing a similar movement today and like a guardian angel, Rich Brown came in clutch 😮💨👏🏿. now I’ll polish my fretboard shifts.
Rich. Have been picking up the bass after a 10 year break, and it already feels like I am getting 10x better since I started watching your videos. Absolutely love your exercises. Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱

You lesson are so easy to pick up quickly.
It is amazing that teaching in a slow deliberate manner is so much better that a teacher who wants to impress you with his skills rather than teach.
You are the best.
Thanks so much, George. That means a lot, brother.
tough one when you've spent all your time doing the move with the 1st finger instead of the fourth. Another good lesson! Thanks Rich
Rich, this comment isn't so much just about this video but about your videos in general. I follow about 7 or 8 bass teachers, also some upright bass guys, and sometimes all it scrambles my mind a bit but when I come back here, to where I started again after a 25 year hiatus, you somehow sort things out for me with clarity. I have learned different shifts and micro-shifts but this one is tasty and practical, and I've added it to my toolkit. Something about your style and teatching method just puts things straight. Please keep it up. Thank you. From Los Angeles.
Unreal - You Just Dropped A Bomb On My Little Brain - This Makes Perfect Sense And Its Been There All Along - Your Smooth Approach To This Tutorial Is What Makes It So Flipping Hip - And Noodling Around There And Transitioning Into The Intro Was Brilliant - Well Done - I Appreciate Your Efforts With The Channel
Go Team Human ,
Cheers
The first minute of this vid was a treat! The rest...well, i'll put it like this: i began playing bass 40 years ago, so by now i can say i'm not a newbie and not too poor a bassist. All the same this video of yours gave me something new to work on! Thank you Rich, your videos are ALWAYS useful! Keep up this hard, sterling work!
You are an amazing teacher. you take your time you speak slowly, clearly. your moves on the neck of the base are slow for us to follow.
You really take into consideration those of us who are truly beginners not like other teachers I have seen on TH-cam who go so fast you don't even know where their fingers are being positioned. So thank you very much.
You are greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much. It's always nice to hear when folks understand the concepts. I appreciate you tuning in.
Hey Rich, this lesson is a breath of fresh air! Most videos dealing with two octave scales on a 4 string bass employ akward hand shifts.
Using the upright bass approach (no ring finger) and shifting on the 1/2 steps solves this problem. For G major I like to play exactly as you did, EXCEPT instead of 1-3-4-shift (abcd) on the D string, I play: 1st finger(A) 2nd finger B shift 2nd finger to C, 4th finger D, then continue up to the G string as you did...
I find that this works on any mode as well.
I find that by omitting my ring finger on the E,A&D strings while employing finger shifts on the half steps, and then reverting back to one finger per fret positioning on the G string allows me to play two octave scales in any mode WITHOUT the akward hand shifts.
In my view no finger should have to shift more than a half step.
YOU, are AWESOME Sir. This was incredibly useful and I am so grateful for you taking the time to graciously bless us with quality teaching. Amazing. This made so much sense and was a great link for a beginner (ish) like me. Thank you and I hope you’re blessed to the fullest. 🙏🏽🖤🎶
Superb breakdown on the shifts!
Super great lesson as always Mr Rich
Can't remember where i got this lesson from years back, works well on the 4 string bass
Better view to refresh my mind
Much love✌🏾❤
I second that Mr. Brown you are the best teacher on TH-cam!!!!! I wish I had access to you on zoom you are worth every dollar regardless.
You're the bass teacher every bassist needs, Sir. Your videos have been helping me a lot. As a novice, you've helped me develop a level of comfort around handling and playing the instrument. Eternally grateful to you for sharing your expertise with everyone in the community. Sending you lots of love and regards from India. 🙏🏼🙋🏻♀️💖💖💖💐
that clears up so much for me!! thank you very much mr. brown
Brilliant as ever. A great lesson for us beginners. Keep up the great work brilliant content. Peace.
Another top notch content right here. Friends and neighbours, lets feast
Thank you, brother David! 🙏🏾❤
Brother Rich Brown, what can l say that hasn’t been said before about your great teaching, your teaching style is smooth, straight to the point, clear and concise. The music at the beginning of your lessons is really good! I like that bass riff at the beginning of the music is really catchy too- keep up the great videos Thanks Much
Loved the transition on the start of the video 🔥🔥❤
Thank you for this videos ! - Blessings !
Finally got it! Working on descending now. I think I unlocked an additional pattern
Very shifty😎
This is an EXCELLENT EXERCISE similar to what Patrick Pfeiffer shows in his fantastic book Bass Guitar for Dummies but your method seems easier if I remember correctly!!! Thank you for ANOTHER FRETBOARD GEM!!!
Hey, you Rock!! Thank you for making such great content! ❤
I like this! Thank you!
Thanks again, Rich. I knew this exercise, but I don’t remember if I learned it from you. I don’t normally play one finger per fret-I played DB first-so I usually do this exercise as 1-1-3-4 twice, then 1-1-2-4 twice. That’s what’s in my memory. I sometimes switch to one finger per fret as I move up the neck, but for the stuff I play, I’m mostly on the lower frets, and DB fingering works for me.
Me too, after 45 years of DB new habits are slow to develop
that phrase at :29 ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
The beauty of a simple major triad.
thanks Rich! 🙏 This is a really helpful exercise for moving up the neck. Now I want to try adapting this to the minors and maybe the modes too 👍
Thanks!
Thank you Mr. Brown..... Wow..
My pleasure, always! Enjoy!
Great Video…Thx🎶🎶
You are back!!! Hello from Medicine Hat!!
Glad to see you back rich. We've missed you pookiebear.
thanks for the lesson
You're very welcome!
Hey Rich, i just thought i should let you know i ripped off your pentatonic scale where you combine the two shapes and have some notes double up. Combined with a couple of your sequential patterns it's a killer. It's a great way to sound better than i am.
I’m gonna check this out! I’ve been playing two octave scales, but I’m not sure if I’m doing it this way. Thank you for sharing this RB! 😎
Enjoy! It'll either be a new way of looking at the scale, or a familiar pattern to keep you busy.
@@richbrownbass Tried it....very cool. So great to learn new methods!
0:59 smoooooooth🤧🤧🤧
AWESOME VIDEO ❤
Thank you so much for watching! ❤
Super stuff Rich, really clear explanation, great lesson. Quick question if I may, is there a reason why covering 1 3 5 shift as opposed to 1 shift 3 4? Like an upright.
Not a criticism at all, I'm sure you can do either :) Is there a pedagogical reason or perhaps you've observed students have more success with this?
Appreciate all you do, Thanks Chris.
I find this 1 3 5 shift motion much more fluid than playing one note and immediately jumping a whole tone. For me, this feels better under the fingers.
Grazie,lei ha un modo di spiegare unico,forse il migliore di tutti qui su you tube. Volevo farle una domanda,io sono un principiante e non so come organizzare e cosa studiare in un ora di studio giornaliero,mi può aiutare ,grazie .
Let me know if this helps...and thank you! th-cam.com/video/YFNNQOmpRVg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UJBrpsmrdmHuPKWJ

Please do it on the six string bass-
Rich, what is the “Members” tab for in the Comments section? I’ve seen something like “Only members can comment” in YT, but I can’t make the connection. How does one become a YT member, and what is its purpose?
How do I hear chords progression on stage
Are the shifts descending the same??????????????????????????????????
What metronome is it that Counts In then Clicks only 2 and 4 that you use? I need to work on that and everything else you feed so clearly to our smooth brains.
It's an app called Tempo. Thank you very much!
After all, we who are called Richard have a leg up🤣😂🤣!
LOL!
Now you know you're out-of-line for that intro bruh😅❤😂
LOL!!! 😅🙏🏾
@@richbrownbass someday I'll be a big boy just like you😂🤣😂🫣🤔
Just so your aware that since the switches to AI ,I am getting subtitles that covers your whole fretboard so when you say to watch your fingers I can't
you can turn it off by clicking the "CC" logo on the bottom right of the video
