    If one follows Rich's groove series and the upcoming pentatonic series, bass lines possibilities are infinite.

    Hey Rich, I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks. You are such a great instructor and person. I’m an old dude who started playing guitar about 6 years ago. I had trouble with timing. About a year ago I bought a bass guitar thinking that maybe I could learn bass instead and give up guitar. Well as it’s turning out, bass guitar has helped me with my timing, now my guitar playing has gone way up. Now I’m enjoying guitar as much as bass. I owe a lot of this to your great instructions. Thank you!

    Rich, I've seen your other pentatonic lessons but for me the stuff at 16 minutes in was new, and very important. You provided the piece of the puzzle that was missing for me, that connection past the 3rd shape, you called it the inverted minor pentatonic shape. Like working through the major scale modes, it makes the pentatonic scale fit together, and make sense. Thank you!

    I discovered that, too, but what I'm trying to figure out now is what sequence of notes sounds major and what sequence sounds minor? In order words, how do I play all the shapes (major and minor) and maintain the tonality of the key (major or minor).
    Looking forward to learning that.

  • @SSN706
    @SSN706 5 місяців тому +2

    A thought just occurred (yes, it did hurt): Do you think pentatonic scales can relate to modes? if you start on the C, is it an Ionian pentatonic? If you start on the A, is it an Aeolian pentatonic? And would starting on the G be a Mixolydian pentatonic? I never put modes into practical use when playing, but thinking of this, it might help me to wrap my head around some alternate grooves.

    • @richbrownbass
      @richbrownbass  5 місяців тому +2

      A very logical question! These are essentially the modes of the pentatonic scale (I'm not sure if they have names), but it's a lot easier for me to think of them in terms of this 2-note system I came up with. Thanks for watching!

    • @lheggestad
      @lheggestad 5 місяців тому +1

      I thought of that, too, but when I tried to see how the modes fit into the pentatonic scale it didn't work for me.
      So, I think the pentatonic scale is mainly built around the 1 (major) and the flat 3 (minor).
      It's like it illustrates the relationship between the major and the relative minor.

    • @SSN706
      @SSN706 5 місяців тому +1

      @@lheggestad I agree. I went exploring a little and my own example proved why it really doesn't work. The G Mixolydian focuses on the flatted 7th, in this case the F, which isn't even a note in the C major pentatonic scale. Oh well, did I say that thinking hurts? :)
