Hey there, friends & neighbours! The Brown'stone is open for the month of October! Here's your chance to book a one-on-one online lesson with me, your friendly neighbourhood bass coach. Click the link below to visit my website and book a time that works for you. See you next month.
I wanted to check in with the beginners out there, especially those who have been going through the videos in the Beginner's Series. I'll be uploading a new lesson very soon focusing on right-hand technique, but I'd love to know how you're doing with the series and if there are any issues you might be dealing with that I haven't covered. (This will also let me know how I'm doing as your friendly neighbourhood online teacher.😊) Choose your answer in the poll below, and please feel free to elaborate by leaving a comment. You can also comment with "other" if none of the options address your particular issue. Thank you all for watching and supporting The Brown'stone.🙏🏾❤️
Peace & love to you, and all your friends & neighbours. rich
How would you rate the lessons on this channel, especially the beginner lessons?
The new video is up, but the numbers are WAY down. For some reason, this new video is not being pushed out to my friends & neighbours the way others have. In case you haven't seen it, you can watch the new video via the link below. Please be sure to click that Like button. Let's make sure this gets out to all the friends and neighbours. Thank you all so much.
I'll be taking on private students next month (June). MANY have asked, and now you can make it happen. Click the link below and book your private lesson with me today!
I really don't understand what motivates people to do and say things like this. Usually, I just delete and move on, but this was the worst on so many levels.
Maybe a neighbour. Not a friend. peace & love rich
Thank you for all of your wonderful support, especially regarding the future of this channel and the launch of the new website. Please bear with me as I work out a few details to make the site as clean and clear as possible.
For now, I'm happy to report that all available spots for private lessons in January have been taken (thank you! 🙏🏾). I'll be sure to let you all know the dates and times for private lessons in February soon. I can't wait to meet you!
Stay tuned, and be well. peace rich
P.S. Here's a question for you: what are you working on? (Me? I've been in the shed working on expanding my soloing vocabulary with more traditional Jazz language. It's truly kicking my behind, but I'll get there. 😊)
HEY THERE, FRIENDS & NEIGHBOURS. My sincere apologies for the truly HORRIBLE AI overdub that frankly ruined a video that took a great deal of work to begin with. I think I've fixed the problem with yesterday's video, and I'll make sure that TRASH is NEVER heard on this channel again. I am not impressed.
The first single from my new album NYAEBA is out TODAY, and I can't wait for you to hear it. Click the link below to hear my song UKUDLALA!
AND
Watch this space for the release of my second single, "HEART OF A LONELY WOMAN", next week on August 22nd. Spread the word, my dear friends and neighbours. You're gonna love this music. This is not your average electric bass album.
I'm currently on the road for the next couple of weeks with Steve Coleman and Five Elements. Once I get home, I'll be back with more lessons. Until then, check out the dates below. Maybe I'll see you in your neighbourhood. If not, keep on practising and stay tuned to The Brown'stone.
peace & love rich

I hope you're all doing very well. The one question I get asked more than any other is, "Do you give private lessons?" The answer has been no (for the most part), but I'm seriously considering the idea of taking on private students (of all levels) sometime within the next few months. I know these YT posts won't reach a majority of my friends and neighbours, but I am wondering how many of you would be into taking private one-on-one lessons with me online.
