- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- In this lesson, I'll show you how you can use the pentatonic scale to open up your entire fretboard. I think you'll enjoy this video.
LET'S TAKE IT TO THE BASS!
NOTE: Next week, I'll go back to our triad inversions. Specifically, I'll be demonstrating how to use the inversions to play over chord changes.
Stay tuned...

Being a teacher myself, I appreciate the way you talk to your audience. You take your time and you are passionate about what you do. Great sound. Keep it coming!
I truly appreciate the kind words and encouragement, Gareth. Thank you!
First time viewer. It won't be the last. Your instruction style makes me feel like we're sitting across from each other in the basement. AMAZING lesson! Thanks
That's exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you, Darin.
@@richbrownbass Hey Rich, what kind of bass is that? It sounds incredible.
@@sambarker6141 I’m using an F Bass VF5.
Another Awesome lesson, Rich! This is making a light bulb glow in my head because I've heard a number of bassists playing these patterns, Jimmy Haslip in particular. It's woodshed time!
Your chilled out vibe is a refreshing change from the hyper excited "Hi Guys!!!" approach of the other bass tutors. Helps to have a nice soothing voice too...
How about that!
"GREAT"
This is helping my bass playing and melodic sense, but I also feel my mind getting a workout too. Thanks Rich.
I need this really bad dude.
You´re the best! Thanks from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Thank you so much Rich for this selfless work you do for us. Dan Hawkins and you are the best bass teachers online, I learned so much from you two. Wish you all the best!
Thank you very much, Aleksandar. That means a lot. Dan’s videos are great. You put me in some good company there. I’m so glad the lessons have been helpful. Thanks for watching!
Things get super cool when Chris Brown is teaching.
Good stuff!
Back in the day I was practicing Jeff Lorber Fusion's tune called Water sign.
These different pentatonic formations came in very handy to pull off that tune!
I was also in a gracious situation where I had a good teacher in conservatory who guided my way to these concepts.. I'm so glad that you don't need to apply to music school nowadays to get some knowledge. Fantastic job mr. Brown!
It IS Sooper-Cool Rich! Thx a million!
Thank you for watching, Doug.
Incredible video... your lessons are helping me so much! As someone trying to learn on a 5 string, i can't help but wonder how many more shapes the b unlocks. Guess i have homework 😂
Tank U Rich Brown . After practicing this exercice, I can see my fretboard in a aether way.
I remember my grandfather talking (HIP) and I'm 69 next week. only joking great lesson HIP Rich
When I slide up, I get tons of squeak from the string windings :0/ How do you deal with that?
Great explanations and demo... Thanks!
Wow !!! This is a cool innovative pentatonic pattern or shape from Rich Brown. Thanks for sharing
Awesome lesson.....what basses do you use...looks un familiar.
I had a great time hanging with yo all too .. thank you 🙏
you are the man! love you're playing and your musical spirit bro. blessings!
Thank You!
Wow, very nice pentatonic use. I think i need to back up a bit and look at your previous videos. Seems it would greatly help me to know where the notes are. Soooo, I'll be back. I will follow your advice and, "Take It To The Bass" Thanks again.
I love your tone in these lessons. It's great, sonically, and it's also easy to hear your nuances. Thank you!
How do I use pentatonic scales to create bass lines for the songs I play?
I am so grateful to you Rich ! What a wonderful series of videos. That really helped me expand the way I look to my bass and pushed me to explore more territories. Thanks a lot 🥰
Really great lesson:) Very observant and very helpful. I'm no music major but I think my ear is pretty good. When you started working with the Bb Major Pent, my ear heard a box I play in when playing a part of the verse of Chicago's Does Anyone Really Know what time it is:).
Thank you, Lori. I hope this gives you a few new ideas to play on that song...or any song! I appreciate you tuning it.
I like how you think of it as a "macro scale." I think that's the conclusion I was coming to as your were going through the lesson..."Hey this is just one big scale.."
Excellent lesson, Rich. It really validated some of my own thoughts and has given me a heap to think about. Importantly it was super practical too. I also really like the fact you talk in intervals. Great content, awesome laid back style and very sincere. Much appreciated. I'll definitely tuning in each week and recommending your channel to others.
Thank you so much, Paul. I truly appreciate your very kind words. Huge thanks to you for spreading the word as well.
Great lesson! It's so nice to see the positivity in this comment section. Thank you all
Thanks so much, Tim. I'm loving all the positivity in the comments. It really does feel like we're building a community. That said, the channel is still pretty small, relatively speaking. I fear as the channel grows the likelihood of seeing know-it-alls and trolls in the comments also grows. I know my neighbours will have my back. 😉
Thanks Mr Rich! Another great video. Sweet Gimbri, when do we get the Gnawa lesson?
Lol. I’m so not qualified.
MR. Rich Brown, you are amazing. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience. I am amazed, Thank you so much.
Great, love it.
Brilliant lesson - thank you - subscribed and looking forward to seeing more
Great to see another “F” bass brand player, I have two, one fretless the other fretted, both 5 string, great instruments and quality manufacturer. Really enjoyed your videos, keep up the good work.
I'm supposed to play together right.
Stunning player and fantastic teacher...what else?
I just caught that Motown Pattern “Sunshine on a cloudy day”
You are a brilliant brotha....this just opened up a door for me personally!!!
That's what I love to hear. Thank you.
Fretboard unlocked! I would recommend this to anyone wanting to level up their bass. Rich Brown is the truth on bass!
Just realise i wasn't subscribed😂😮
You re literally my brother from another mother!
I love you rich... one of my favorite bassist
That means a lot. Thank you, Jeffery. 🙏🏾❤️
Fantastic vid Rich never considered this approach!
Thanks, Cameron. I hope this helps.
I'm really having problems following after the 5th fret C,I'm lost after the D and I don't know why
G string 7 to 5th fret D string 8 to 5th fret A string 8 to 5th fret E string 8 to 6th fret then Ascending notes using the pattern he showed us earlier
I love your style of teaching,but the combination of the 5 string,with your large fingers and you smooth style , i can't make out the frets your fingering !! Would love to see a diagram !!
Hey Charles. Thanks for pointing that out. It's been said a couple of times before, so I'll take this into consideration moving forward. I'll try to make my instructions abundantly clear and easy to follow for all levels.

Watching you From DC
I've watched a few of your videos and I'm really impressed by your method of teaching. Ive also had anxiety waiting to hear you thump that B string! I'm about to invest in a 5 string
This is the first video (I’ve seen) that clarifies “neck walking” in my head. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! Greetings from Hungary!
Thank you very much. I’m so glad to know this video helped.
I have found my mentor!!
You are a great teacher.
Great video!Thanks Rich!
I really enjoy your style... I'd like to follow your lessons chronologically so I don't miss anything, is that a good idea?
That's a great idea, Jack. But I have to warn you. Those videos I made when I first started out do not have the greatest audio/video quality. In fact the quality is pretty bad (lol), but I think you'll enjoy the content. Thank you so much for watching.
First time student. Love you instruction style. This lesson is Gm pentatonic. Can I assume the same applies to all the minor penta scales?
Definitely. You can always start the (relative) major pentatonic scale from the 2nd note of any minor pentatonic. Does that makes sense?
Awesome bass. Man Canada has some incredible bass manufactured. Dingwall. FBass. Wow. A fitting instrument for an incredible lesson
good stuff rich greetings from Dundee Scotland.
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for tuning in.
Very cool, thank you Rich. Peace and love.
🙏🏾❤️
Great stuff Rich!!!
Thanks! Going back to run through all of your pentatonic exercises.
Thanks great lessons
Thank you for tuning in!
Greetings from Singapore! Thank you for the wonderful lesson. This really helps to open up the fretboard.
Triple like ❤❤❤ Thank you Rich 🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you!!!
thanks Rich. you've got a nice teaching style and I love it when you say friends and neighbours :)
Time to put the kettle on!
Thanks!
I have gone through a ton of your videos and a ton of other content creators stuff. I just have one question. How do you take each shape of the pentatonic scale and apply it to the given key? For example I also play several other instruments including baritone ukulele and on there you can use a specific string for major or minor and build the shape around the key that way. Is this something that is done on base as well?
I love ❤️ your teaching skills. You are my best teacher 😘🙌
It was very helpful... please I do I get a step to step video sir(like how do I know the next video after this?).
Stop me if you've this one don't look in the sky don't look in the sea he's inside of you and me did I ever tell you about the time you can't tell hero by his size he's just a tiny little super guy ohhhh yeaahhh!!!!!!!! I'm sorry carry on
Mahalo for the lesson. Great teaching style and enough information to help us figure out the fretboard and your patterns.
best bass teacher on UA-cam...hands down!
Thank you so much!
This is the best lesson I have ever watched on the pentatonic scale. The way you explain it just clicks in my mind. Many thanks Rich!
I love this! Thank you!!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching. 🙏🏾
💚💚💚
so much fun to play along. Thanks for all your time.
daily exercise right here. making a Brownstone List to collect all of these in my UA-cam 👍🏿👌🏿
A very cool idea. Thank you very much.
You've made my "bass lessons that really help" playlist
I love the way how you take your time to explain and guide your students.... I'm learning and making great strides...
That’s what I love to hear. Thank you so much for watching! 🙏🏾❤️
pow! excelent!
Thanks very much Alexandre!
You my friend are an awesome instructor! Very much appreciate your approach to teaching. Makes even an old dog able to understand concepts.
Thanks
Thank you very much, Tom. That means a lot, brother.
I guess I just don't have an ear for this... I couldn't discern any difference between the first and second way you played that minor pentatonic scale
That's kind of the point. By learning different positions of the scale, you're opening up the fretboard to cover more area using the same notes. This way you're not stuck in one position, and the different positions give you more options for different ideas. So it's more about opening up the fretboard than it is about hearing different things over different positions. I hope that makes sense. Thank you for watching.
Yo Rich, I Am So Stoked Right Now!! This Video Appeared Via YT's Algorithm And I Worked Through It Like A Veteran. The Steps Made Sense This Time Around. I Could Almost Keep Up With You While Moving Through The Exercise. Talk About A New Pep In My Step. I Cant Thank You Enough Right Now - Go Team Human
Much Appreciated ,
Cheers
Another super cool bass lesson! The efficiency of your teaching is simply unreal. For having tried other fretboard navigation exercise with difficulty and without too much success, yours is so easy to grasp. You are right! I really enjoyed this video. Honestly, I was kind of stuck in a trap these days with my bass playing, and you really have opened a door.
I love this kind of message. I'm so glad this video helped. Thank you so much for watching, Andre. All the best.
Thank you
My pleasure, Adem. Thank you for watching.
What an excellent pattern & exercise! I am a guitar player & sort of wondered here by accident & loved how you laid out the scale patterns & it has helped me approach things from a different place. You are calm, kind & speak very clear & make things easily understood so watching your videos go by fast & I always learn something. I am so glad I came across your channel & thank you for taking the time to record & post your videos! You are helping more than Bass players as well! :)
I truly appreciate these very kind words. Thank you so much.
@@richbrownbass You are very welcome!
Are you still using Dunlap Strings?
Yes! I use Dunlop Nickel Wound Super Brights. Love those strings.
Thank you Zen master Brown for making these videos fun and educational. You have a gift for teaching.
That means a lot, Matt. Thank you so much for these very kind words.
