    Beginner here. I bought a bass guitar 3 years ago and tried to teach myself by watching lessons on UA-cam and Fender app. Over time, I eventually lost interest because the instructors were going too fast. I am so pleased to come to this channel as Rich explains it very slow which is great for beginners to understand. Thank you Mr. Rich Brown. You are amazing. Can't wait to go to the next lesson!

    Thank you very much for your excellent videos. I've started bass guitar for 1 year, and you've been a great help (especially your relax/take your time attitude giving people like me confidence). As a beginner player, i've come to realize I tend to pull strings too strong, reducing agility. My two cents for beginners like me is : don't play strong, instead turn up the volume and play soft but agile.

    One cannot overemphasize how important it is to nail those fundamentals of form right from the beginning: left thumb centered on the back of the neck, even alternating right hand fingers, and fretting right behind the fret - essential for a clean, pure tone. I bow to you, sir.
