    Greetings! I have tried so many Bass teachers online and by far Mr. Brown is the best! Mr. Brown is truly a bass instructor for beginners, I'm so impressed with his teaching style. I am 62 years old, and I am using bass for therapy. Theretofore, I am going to call him Dr. Brown the Bass Doctor.
    Dr. Brown You're a blessing. Please keep this series going. I am Just starting to learn bass now, and your patience, the tempo, and close-up to the fretboard when explaining is excellent, perfect for me, I really appreciated it.
    My God continue to bless you with that special talent.
    Respectfully,
    Ramon

    OK, I am new and have been looking at lots of bass videos on UA-cam. Of course, everybody likes something different, I suppose. But these videos (Beginner 1 and 2) have been super helpful for me. I think it is always helpful to say why something is good so here you go. Instead of throwing a lot of notes at me or getting me to memorize the top of the fredboard in one chunk, the three notes at a time thing was great for me. I am amazed at how much it helped. Also, you mixed in the reminders about the fingering techniques for the right and left hand and that was really good too. So, in two short lessons, I feel like I learned a lot. Nice job. The Lord willing, I plan to go through all of these until I play like Jack Bruce. LOL! Just kidding. But hopeful!

    • @richbrownbass

    What The Flock Of Seagulls - Back To Back Video - Well Done Brother Rich - Also, The Rest Stroke Was New To Me - I Am Familiar With Raking But Not Resting - Way Cool - And Yes, Saying The Notes Out Loud Is Very Beneficial For Sure - Light Touch , Alternating Plucks , And Breaking Up The Routine - Outstanding
    Go Team Human,

      Unfortunately the back to back uploads was a failed experiment that ended up doing more harm to my analytics than good. I'll try it again with a different approach. I do enjoy adding more content at a faster rate. It's just a matter of figuring out the best way to help the channel's overall growth.

    I have been playing bass for 17 years in my church’s worship band. I do ok, but I am self-taught and many of my fundamentals (like putting my thumb in the correct place on my fretting hand) are off. And it has limited my playing ability. So I need to learn everything from the ground up. I am amazed that you offer a complete series of lessons like this for free. God bless you, Rich!

    Hi Rich, I’ve been having fun on my U-Bass and watching your lessons so much I decided to purchase a beginner Squire Precision Bass. I notice a lot of finger noise on the steel strings and wondering if you recommend flat wounds as a way to quiet it down. Thanks so much!

    • @somarmd
      @somarmd 10 місяців тому

      Hello, a quick update, I decided to put Flatwound strings on. I had no idea what to go with, just went with what the music store recommended. It’s night and day for me. So much quieter, no more extra finger noise, and a much more enjoyable experience. :)
