If you could turn your bass up a little bit. I have my tablet up all the way and I am having trouble hearing you.

Excellent informative so true when asked to do a bass solo the first thing that comes to mind is it has to be full of fast chops and notes. I like your approach of keeping it more tasteful and leaving space. Sounds so much better
Enough of the Pentatonic? Yessir! It's easy to get stuck there and lose so many possibilities.
Pentatonic runs; "The only ones who will like that are other bass players". True. And note that those bass players are not in the band, but rather in the audience, and therefore, they are bass players who couldn't get a gig.
Sun Ra knew about tip #2 for sure
Never lose the music of a song
????????
I could listen to you all day long
I just love your musical thinking n thoughts
Just too good sir exceptional musical thinking as how to establish melodious music
Rick please talk about your micro thing in play?)it's secret information for all in your "commercial" thousands study videos? Can you say about physics, which playing with brains every human and making illusion of Wright for ears like in circus?
You're used very simple elements of the sound fisics. Something like a play time or groove time. But I'm think it is another. Waves in different places, temperatures, filtres, in h2o, sound speed of bass maybe etc. I know you do a lot of job with bass modes intervals learning funk pentatonics major and minor blues scales bebop chords flajelets and metronome. Maybe not all of those things good information?
What about jazz standards?harmony analize of jazz song or blues analize?
How many standarts you know maestro?
@Rich Brown – The Brown'stone : Love your videos! <3 I have been playing bass for 18 years now and I still learn some new things from you and you make me come back to basics and concentrate on the basic stuff that I often foerget about as a pro player and I can dive deeper into this section of practice and it helps me understanding bass more and helps me in creating my grooves, basslines, riffs, solos and to improvise a solo or a walking bass line in jazz or a death metal solo or experimental fusion(jazz-rock) mixed with ambient and electronic music stuff because I play REALLY LITERALLY EVERYTHING from funk and soul, through black metal, death metal, doom metal and rock finishing with jazz, country, bluegrass, blues, gospel and experimental music and of course my beloved fusion (or jazz-rock if you prefer to call it that way). Love this video and I thinik that making a video on how to play fusion (jazz-rock) would be a great option for lessons because you play various stuff and a lot of different techniques are used from easy to hard or even pro so I think you could do a lesson or lessons on fusion playing on bass and maybe some jazz lessons also (walking bass because it's the hardest part and ofc whole jazz harmony and structure and theory, theory, theory!) and maybe some nice, not knows but awesome warm-up ideas to play before every session or gig or practicing! Love BROWNSTONE! Thank you for getting me back to basics after 18 years of playing the bass and forgetting the basic stuff that is really so important and really helps in soloing and creating grooves and basslines!

how to learn groove for beginners, please make a tutorial????????????????Thank You
Tried to like the video by hitting the heart shaped lamp in the background several times…????
wow again the thing im looking for..finally a lesson that is really understandable..tq master rich brown
Freddie freeloader ????????????
sorry it was too quick for me to get the pattern you used on "learn sequentials patterns". Is it possible to have a drawing? Edit: I finally get it. It's really beautiful. Do you have more of this??
????
You ideas and advice are helping. Really.
Thanks, Rich… Telling a story, and taking your time =Golden advice???????? I think so many times we get caught up in the excitement and anticipation that we jump right in and start flying ???? Really great, Rich .
Yep major pentatonic is fun and a extra note really sounds good and adds the flavor wherever it may be
haters be slick till they find out that man is voice of king from one punch man
This guy is really smart. Great advice. I would only one thing though on the Pentatonic, I actually only play that when I can't figure out the chord progression.
Rich – Point #4…SPOT ON!! I am a working bassist of 30 years and perform live in front of audiences on average once per week year round. I have learned from your previous videos on soloing to play shapes and based on melody versus what I call "pentatonic pyrotechnics" performance. The real flashy and super fast stuff. The BEST solo I've played all summer that got the best reaction not just from the audience but also from the BAND right after my solo is when I played a solo based 100% on all you said in Point #4 (I want readers of my comment to dig in and watch that in your video!). It ended up being a 3 minute solo (soloing is my weakest confidence within my playing). Thanks for putting this video out there. Cannot agree more with you.
Dear Rich,
Thank you so, so much! I have already watched several of your videos. Fantastic. Also, the calmness and serenity you exude. Thank you for your incredibly helpful tips and suggestions. Dear Rich, you have brought back my joy in playing the bass. God bless you and all those close to you.
With very, very warm regards from the Baltic Sea,

Really great, love it! Thank you!
Thanks!
More awkward silences Rich ????
You talk too much
my advice to anyone struggling to get beyond pentatonics is to learn your diatonic arpeggios! that was the step that finally broke me out of the box
Great Tips! Great Video and now im goin to learn that Miles Davis solo!
Wise words, String Master.
Amazing teacher!! Thanks a lot from Spain
Absolutely right Rich!!!! All points????????
