#funk #bass #lesson

As a guitarist who also plays bass, and is learning to play bass like a bass, not just a lower register guitar, these videos are great.

[RCSmiths]

The funkier, the better. Always love how accessible these concepts can be.

[philip]

You are not only a great musician, but, you are also a great teacher!! Many thanks !

[LarnellLewisMusic]

VIBES!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Also, good to know this 👉🏿 5:51

[bAgRiMoIrEsS.]

My mama did use that scale during her time at College of the Arts. Most of the time during third period, classical guitar theory.
SERIOUSLY!!! Also, I love your videos your articulate teaching style show us your grace and patience that's one of the great bass players out there today.

I was trained by George Ortiz when I was 19. I'm 58 and still using the Dorian mode to create awesome lines. Seeing you for the first time today and you're teaching the Dorian scale just blew my mind. I love it. I'm now a fan of yours and I'm checking out your other videos

[JunG]

Any scale, funky, bro. It's all about da playah. You know this. Dorian is just harmonic minor.

[arthur]

Love the smile on your face when you play that lick, it is funky! Thanks Rich, I really appreciate your approach to music and teaching.

[tommyknapp]

Spot on! As a bass player since the '80s, I have gotten a LOT of mileage out of the Dorian. Also, your phrasing is impeccable.

[ShadesOfGray]

I don’t even play the bass & I love the use of this mode

[davidloflin]

I knew that The Funkiest Note in the World was going to be featured when I saw this come up. I like how you tied things together with this one Rich, you're an outstanding instructor.

[clarekeating]

man thank you, new favorite bass channel

[BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

And all in one spot, literally, not too much movement, yet FUNKY. I recall Chuck Rainey saying similar; "There's lots of notes under one hand placing".

Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

[Dis-Emboweled]

I really like how you break it down for everyone, from Seasoned musicians to beginners.

Great video!

[D-Ski-Bike-Kayak-Etc-cvtm]

You're not only a great player, but also a GREAT teacher!

[thelonghairfreakypeople]

How you describe how to play notes with telling us what fret our finger needs to be on is what really clicks in my brain! Thanks for sharing

[Muggfacepublishing]

As a piano player, you know I can't play bass, so this is helpful, so thanks for that. I'll be thinking about this when I'm recording my next song, so thank you.

[jef]

Absolutely brilliant teaching. I learnt so much from this - and I've been playing a long while. Always a school day. Thank you so much.

[marcharris]

This is a great lesson. The 6th is massive. You're touch and tone are great, I'm subscribed just to listen.

[Bassgroover]

I'm here for that bass lick in the intro. Kills me every time.
