Are you a ball-hog or a tugboat? I'm a tugboat, supporting the other boats. But once in a while someone passes me the ball.😉

Gostaria muito que tivesse.uma tradução para o Português Brasil...que pena que nao falo inglês..

Hi Rich. I started playing bass 6 weeks ago and came across your channel. I really appreciate your help and support. You're a natural teacher. I look forward to learning more. Thank you.

Having small hands.Not really anyone covers where to place your hand or how to run the neck line with your hand n fingers on the neck.Tyvm on talking about it.That really helps.👍

The last few minutes of advice are awesome. Thanks, Rich!

this was so helpful, Rich!

Thoroughly appreciate tip 1 🙏

Thank you for the tips,these are very helpful. I am a 6 strings bass beginner. This is my 1st bass.😊 Please make more 6 strings videos in the future. Thank you so much.😊

Great tips, I'd add one more: Every single time to pick up the bass to play, check out if it is in tune. I heard so many new players getting a good grasp on the instrument but playing out of tune and don't even realizing it.

I love the simplicity of your instructions! I am a newby, so I appreciate how you take time to convey the lessons. Thanks.

I'm a drummer who wants to play bass. And fun fact, i also watch rob Brown 's drumming videos. RB, et RB are my two teachers. And both are really nice !
Thanks for your good spirit, thanks for this great tips !

I play sax, thanks great tip

I commit to achieving my goal. I will not waste my time again watching the solo of gifted bass players. You are amaze and learn nothing.
Encouraging & hepful advices.

I just found your channel. You're the teacher that I need. Thanks for the inspiration.

"...big difference to those who want to play bass to entertain and those who want to make music"...what a great quote! Thanks so much...make music allll the way! I'm going to see about playing along to some simple songs right now. Thanks for all these tips!

👑Rich, please can you do a vid of simple songs video, for us to follow or begin to locate from the first 4 frets. This would be GREAT and inspiring for myself and others. Many thanks 💯🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍😍😍❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Hi 👑Rich🙏🏼❤️ Only started following you, from Friday 14.07.2023 can only do 1 vid a day, coz I'm abit slow in my learning processes, however, I LOVE ❤ HOW you, talk and deliver your lessons, you're extremely caring and thoughtful. Just wanted to tell you that. I'm from London, UK from Caribbean beautiful heritage. God bless you and family abundantly for now and the future. I, pray I progress nicely and I don't fall off the band wagon, as I tried YEARS AGO and found it too challenging, so I just hung up my bass on the wall to dust. But it's down now. So, I'm following u & make notes as I go along. Just wanted to say a heartfelt "Thank you" to you, 👑Rich, you're the BEST 🏆🏆🏆🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏾💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Words of Wisdom. Love it. ❤

Great video! Want to get back to learning music after a long break, and the encouragment is super appreciated!

I could listen to your voice all day my friend. It's so calming.

Rich.... You are such a great relaxed teacher of the bass, especially for a beginner. How you describe how to make music instead of fingers all over the fret board (as a look at me musician) gives me so much more energy to chill and enjoy learning how to play.
I have just purchased a bass, and will be spending the afternoon tomorrow going through a few of your chilled lessons. (Metronome on 80bpm, with the body sway and feeling the tempo)
Happy days Rich...

I have played by ear all my life and never knew the real basics. Thanks

All great tips that I’ll be in the shed with for a considerable amount of time. Tip #1 is the best! Thanks!

Glad I found your channel. just started with the bass and was having a bit of trouble getting motivated
