Muted 16ths bass exercise using the blues scale

[enahcs]

Rock music killed me with regards to playing creativity. Newbies, follow Marlowedk's lead and watch how fast you will grow as a musician.

[CnQuiZ]

sounds great on slow tempo

[rogums]

I just orgasmed.

[astiles18]

just started freestyling uncontrollably

[Apocryphilia]

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your videos. I play bass in a Jazzmenco Trio with 6 time Grammy Nominated Will Clipman on percussion and NAMMY award winner Gabriel Ayala on guitar. These videos have been pivotal in taking my playing to the next level. Cheers from an American Indian

@Apocryphilia Sounds like a great band! Anyway, glad to help out:-)

[bassralphy]

Marlowe, thank you so much for all of the advice. You are a daily inspiration to a fellow plucker!

[ImperialArmour]

you look like a cool dude.

[russianspiesx]

I love the tone and also how relaxed you are playing, nice vid!

[Makonu2]

I detect a little Rocco there.

[chetanarjun]

What pre-amp do you use?

[lvgordo]

Looks like Dwight from the Office

[bbBassYo]

Do you ever have difficulty playing tight when the bass is not "properly" setup? It feels like my fingers stick to every string =(

[MarloweDK]

@bbBassYo Sure, I cannot play on a poorly setup bass

[FnordyMiguel]

why all the bass players that i meet are so calmed XD? im a guitar player =/

[borjo666]

@FnordyMiguel flea isnt calmed at all

[vigan101]

thomas u r 1 of the best bassist : ) do you use effects in your bass can you tell me what are you using to sound like that?

[tsup77]

Sweet Blow Up poster in the background =D

[allgems]

Nice one Marlowe.These type of runs can be hard on the wrist.I think the key is to play them slow for a few minutes,take a few minutes rest when you start feeling discomfort,then increase the tempo just a few beats per minute,and repeat.

[MarloweDK]

Yes, never force playing. Good advice

[gezusdrmr]

Very Cool... Thanks for the lesson--

[supergolie999]

This is what l like to call TASTY!

[AFacemarkedbyFea]

[Alex156]

Haha, awesome dude. It's been a long time that i'm watching your videos, and i'm still amazed you never repeat yourself in what you're doing. Fantastic.

Regards,

[DonFide]

really cool Marlowe!! i´m practicing right now :D

[ozdobby]

one of the best bass players on youtube!

[camelspottergr]

i would say the best and the nicest guy on youtube. :D Thanx again Marlowe! 16ths all the time is tough!

[Govindaservant]

@ozdobby ONE of the best?? no single player has given so much to so many bass players around the world. DK, if there was a bass players hall of fame you would be heading toward it.

[cottonfever1221]

@ozdobby Not JUST on Youtube,It burns my ass when a bassist like this is'nt well known like some of the Bozo's we are forced to listen to in music of any genre,I have a friend whom plays on a semi-famous level but unknown to the masses who is really one of the best bass players I have ever heard period in my 20 plus years in music and he struggles week to week,while root-fifth and slap happy skids run rampet on the radio,this guy here is a great musician.

[Scissers12345678]

this is my favorite lick you've put out in a while. very good!

[FSPB123]

marlow you can obviously read music, if you wanted to or have you ever played upright bass in an orchastra?

[dbeater1]

yep...cool.

[bullguit]

Man, how do you get that bass to sound SO FAT?!?

[DonFide]

hey man, i don´t have a Fender i actually have a warwick rockbass but i bought a Line 6 Bass Floor POD and emulate more or less the same sound.... :D or, u can buy a Fender too :D

[6Rancid6]
