    I’ve played guitar for several decades, but I’m pretty new to learning bass. I ‘knew’ this stuff already, but you have a wonderful way of explaining it (and I always look for better ways of understanding theory)…I feel like I ‘know’ it a bit better now. You have an incredible way of speaking and teaching.

    Nicely demonstrated Rich.
    I think it's at this point when folks learning to play have a light bulb moment on music theory. It's like the first turn of the key that unlocks the magic box. When you quickly realise that this relationship happens all over the neck, it's a time of great advances in understanding the fretboard.

    This is exactly what I was looking for, No over the top goofy youtube personality, no ridiculous editing and not making the video about yourself. Right to the point, very informative and simple to understand. Thanks man I really appreciate it, I'm coming from a drumming and synthesizer background and I want to pick up bass next, The way you've explained how scales work on the bass made a lot of sense to me. I'm going to be coming back to this video to practice. much appreciated

    Good stuff Rich, your style makes it easy to understand. I learned to play bass when I was 15 in 1969, my mother taught me how to read music and then when I was introduced to the Circle of Fifths, it all made more sense. I never stop studying and learning. Thanks!

    By far one of your best teachings, brotha Rich! I love how you break it down slow with finger placement. It is very hard to find videos for the beginner/intermediate player. This is how I learn and makes me a better player. Can you please go over your lesson from SBL on the modes or the different way you play them. I think it's playing the 6th🤦🏾🤷🏾‍♂️
    Thank you so much for helping everyone and being generous with your knowledge! You are greatly appreciated!

    A very good basic theory lesson.Not a play along job but a listen and learn.With all this information should give basic theory concept about notes and scales.I will just have to keep watching over multiple times until becomes all clear.I am ok with reading time scales and tablature but need more education on scales.I am glad I found this,no chalk board or ruler just right.

    That was a massive light bulb moment for me! I thought I had the major and minor scales learned well at this point but didn’t connect the relationship between the two or how to extend them across all 4 strings. Thanks Rich, this was super helpful! I’d be keen to see a video like this for 5 or 6 string too.
