shuffle blues bass

[shanesperling]

great tone, great chops! nice work buddy

[kingjr180002]

notice they skiped  2:15?

[schimmelpenninq]

can you also play it without all those percussiv in between notes?

it really tooooooooooooooooo much...

[MarloweDK]

@schimmelpenninq Yes I could but I like it like that:)

[Cordockbass]

@schimmelpenninq That is one of the main characteristics of a shuffle. Thats what makes it groove.

[GodHetfield]

Oh My God!!

your acoustic Bass has an amazing TONE!!!

[peterlacour]

This is boring - sorry. No real sense of real blus shuffle on the bass. It can really be great, but you are just too technical....have you heard Ron Salico and Larry Taylor ever?

[johnnykaka66]

please do a tutorial!

[ewoe21]

Nice !

[PiggyKlinsmen]

man liked it very much, actually just learned it :) thank you for all your vids!

[dreamrider987]

hey i really like that bass you wouldn't mind telling me how much it was i'm looking in to buying one thanks:)

[singingmudskipper]

did u run ur bass thru any effects pedal, compressor, or preamp?? u make the acoustic sound like a fender jazz bass!! =O

[MarloweDK]

@singingmudskipper Korg px4d

[singingmudskipper]

@MarloweDK ooh. which effect did u use on the korg? anyways, is it advisable to just have an acoustic bass, and use effect pedals to make it sound like an electric bass? what are the pros and cons?

[MarloweDK]

@singingmudskipper Its an electro acoustic bass - an acoustic bass is normally what you call a double/upright bass. My Korg settings you can find on playbassnowDOTcom under Pages and under Making videos with Korg px4d. I dont try to make it sound like anything i just play it like i normally do. I would use it live in a loud band though due to the feedback

[singingmudskipper]

@MarloweDK ah yea, i noe it's an electric acoustic bass. haha. ok. thanks alot! u play great!

[Austinagent1]

Johnny B was sweet on the bass...remember "Ego trip"?

[rvduyn]

Very very nice, this is again a ver very nice piece of work man, i've seen a lot of you videos and i think you become my favorite teacher. I love the way you make it youre blues. Keep on going !

[hahabass]

You make me sick with your near faultless playing.

[MastaOfTheBass]

i always wanted a acoustic bass

[clewi1091]

what brand of bass is that and what are you running it through? very nice sound. you running a compressor with it?

[Edzherenow99]

wicked nice sound you get out of that bass.... very nice!

[97pd48epbh]

dude, never seen an acoustic bass before n i like it.

[bladesaint21]

Theyre gettin real popular. Ibanez has a decent one that affordable around $179.00 but you can always go more expensive.

[appzguru]

whow.. this video is so full of new ideas (for me) that i can have fun with this vid for months! thnx marlowe

[SteveMontuno]

sorry for being a bit cheeky dude :)

[SteveMontuno]

[rushrule]

: )

[flavius4god]

[flavius4god]

[jimmybass001]

wish i had the tabs for this one

[supercinquino]

good,very good....

preciso e con i piedi per terra...come dovrebbe essere ogni bassista...bravo

[vonroden]

This groove sounds like something Donald "duck" dunn would play :) specially at about 00:50

am i correct?

[ChildofDust6969]

ha more like a ducktales tune

[peglegmahoney]

I've reached a point in blues bass playing were i cant seem to get out of the box im in,i think you should do a blues tutorial,some dam fine playing there

[Zelious12]

GEEZ, how many basses do you have, seriously? Lol, yet another great bass video. Love your stuff and all your basses.

[brucesinner]

which software u use to make this drums ?

[richtriniboi6]

nice bass one of a kind

[Pudsy440]

hmmm ... never noticed this vid before ... I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you have an acoustic bass as well ... nice lines, a little different than the usual Marlowe stuff!

[40riddim]

Really nice. I like the double stopping in the beginning and near the end. You have a very nice touch on your attack and fingering. I have a 5 string fretless acoustic like that, mine's a Michael Kelly, and I am amazed at how good these acoustic basses sound.

[SlyMcdoogal]

no comment...

[WilkzPolski]

Beautiful bass guitar. I want it! Great job man :)

[camelspottergr]

man i'm stunted!!! First of all you got the blues!! u don't just play a 12 bar..Awsome!

Second: u have THE sound! i loved the muted tones!i loved the tone of this bass! man u made the acoustic sound like a fender Jazz bazz... what bass is this?

Third: how did u learn to play the blues like that? i try but i can't fo anything.everything i try sounds bad.

[MarloweDK]

thx man, just take parts of basslines and frases and put them together again. You need a library of 1, 2 and 4 bar lines, dive into you record collection. Johnny B gayden from Albert Collins band is a good start

[CCITP]

im usually not into this kind of music but this was awsome!

[thelewd1]

Classy lines. Tommy Shannon would be proud.

I learn alot from all your videos...Thanks Marlowe.

[jcbass]

how often you change the strings ?

[williamsj3]

That was aweome. I could listen to that all day. Thanks.

[daLom]

i think it will take a while until i realize HOW helpful this was now ....

thanks alot

[GDPvids]

Yes, tutorial.

[fourstringFoOl]

lovin the acoustic electric marlowe

[shanebasskendry]

yes u should do a toturial

[aoftelie]

Marlowe,

Do you ever use the 3-6 2-5 turn around at all? I would love to hear your interpretation of that ...

[MarloweDK]

Sure i do, just stuck to the 1-4-5 chords in this piece to keep it simple (and when i play with rock guitarists, lol)

[judosnubben]

It was bloody worldclass on that answare.....

[u3228]

Tutorial! Tutorial! Tutorial ;D

[Wol1verine]

Marlow: Please do a tutorial on this. When do you think you might be putting up a subscribtion web course? How much will you charge and all that? I really like your teaching style. It's not too fast and not too slow. It's just right!

[zaksnaporaz]

a rather funky approach to blues, I always liked that ! But not every blues musician's cup of tea: I remember once when I was playing with a blues-fond type of guy, he wanted the bass to be nothin else than ultra laid back. Blues can be so boring when tangled in its own limitations and narrow mindedness.

[MarloweDK]

laid back when slow yes, but fast ie "Iceman" Albert Collins style should push a bit.

[zaksnaporaz]

yes, laid back like in 'tin pan alley' by Stevie Ray Vaughan (he's one of the best guitarist, me think) - the bass is soo laid back yet sooo tasty in that song: just open the volume of your amp to 100% and enjoy the masterpiece !

[BlueBomber614]

i have blues jams a lot with my band director at school, and i find myself playing the same sort of lines each time. so yes, a blues shuffle tutorial would be very much appreciated.

and i think that guy meant what you do now, as far as occupation goes; what brings the money in.

[MarloweDK]

webdesign and teaching webdesign, and the odd playing gig

[spacedub1]

nice sound to this man , thanks!

[farandusux]

tutorial tutorial tutorial!!!!! :D... plis make one.. for your fans.. remeber you said that when you reach the subscriber 1000 you were gonna do some video explaining some of your stuffs.. you rock, or maybe you blues!!!

[MarloweDK]

Well i think i AM explaining some of my stuff on this channel . If/when i make a site it will be for payment, so enjoy the free stuff while you can ;-)

[Zfate]

Lol, "wannabeemarlowdk" Mr. MarloweDK. i think you have fans :D:)

[MarloweDK]

Yeah, never thought that i would become an "internet celeb" :-D

[bwsailer]

it would be nice to get your point of view on walking bass lines. I used to just play around with 1,3,5 and then throw some extra notes in if I had to. But I was never a really good bass player back in the day anyway. so yeah, put up a tutorial, but instead of showing us how to play certain notes, please explain why you are playing certain notes. thanks again! you are incredible.

[larsbas]

jep, you should make a tutorial...!!!

[tickmann]

That's the stuff! Tak!

[canvoodoo]

you must be a pro bass player

[MarloweDK]

Used to be, yes

[wannabeemarlowdk]

what do you do now?

[MarloweDK]

Like, in this very moment or in general?

[Zfate]

That was wonderful! Great stuff! :)

[Thatguy301]

i hate this video....because i don't knowhow to walk (well anyway). PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL ON WALKING *puppy dog eyes*

[Addlepate71]

Yes, please post a tutorial for this style!

[1studpostman]

You have reached the mark 1000 I can't wait

( When I reach subscriber # 1000, I will launch a bass instruction site with my techniques explained. )

[Zephyrwind1123]

you should do a reggae tune, that would be pretty cool, like some aston "family man" barret, just an idea.

[TheWoollyMammoth]

I think it is because he sepends so much time in that room playing that we say great every time he post somoething.

[wannabeemarlowdk]

most excellent marlowe..you never let the marlowe nation down!!

[wannabeemarlowdk]

nice job marlowe...you never let us down!!

[fsbsman]

i think it's tutorial time!

[amanschase]

great as always marlowe! u spend a lot of time in that room playin, why don't we go out and pull a few chicks!

[moomoocajoo]

how'd you know he doesn't already have a girl? :p Christ knows with his bass playing he could probably pull Jessica Simpson - just blast her with some funk and she'd be putty :D
