Hammeron slap and strum bass in A

[cadwellparker]

Been enjoying a few of your vids man. Love your groove, tone,  style etc, really nice. Thanks for posting :-)

[nselck]

En musiklektion hvor der ikke bliver sagt noget - det er desværre en sjældenhed!. Fik virkelig meget ud af videoen. Tak!

[Vinnygotnoodles]

took me only 20 minutes to be able to play it. Not because I'm good, but because MarloweDK is probably the best teacher out there

[Funkengr00ven]

Very funky. Also quite Claypoolish. Nice one!

[Groundribs]

Smooth funk groove

[TechSmack]

how would you compare the marcus miller jazzbass to an american deluxe jazz bass? in sound and quality-price value

[taariqtaariq]

I teach bass and this dude runs rings around me!

[TheFleadh]

I noticed that you pluck the C after the third chord, before hammering on the A ; my pluck is too loud compared to the hammer, that's really ugly... Do you have any tips ? Sorry if my english is bad, man...

Thanks !

[felporocker]

@TheFleadh i have the same probleam

[TheFleadh]

I try to shake my head as you do, but it don't make me play as good as you. DAMN :D

[dieghyndk]

vc é mto bom caraaaa

[squarcy2010]

nothing of difficult there's more better bassman around

[gflood]

you are one funky cat!

[gflood]

you are one funky cat!

[kby207631]

May I know what type of pickup and preamp you use?

[fffonck]

What a groove ! 

[FunkyAxl11]

very nice! love your strings metallic sound!

[RUSHisCOOL69]

Ok I love the tone I dont know how to get such a jazzy sound outta my bass or the scales I use. Help?

[AttitudeCastle]

How do you write so many bass lines so quickly? And ace ones at that! I struggle to come up with something al-rightish in like two weeks =(

Loving the groove here :)

[zazabass1977]

wery good lesson

[MrBaSSMaan]

awesome, im still workin on that technique, but u helped me so much with it

[kelthanius]

You should consider doing some Primus covers. That'd be wicked.

[tambzki]

@kelthanius when he did covers, youtube took his channel down.

YT is full of BS.

[Garg221]

omg this is awesome

[bcarman14]

how do u afford all of ur basses

[jesuschrysler123]

So here's a question for ya...does a guy with your chops prefer to do this online lesson stuff, or would you rather tour? Seems you could get a gig without about anyone. Just curious...love your stuff, my son and I check you out together.

[fabibass]

you peaked with this one Marlowe - great groove

[albertbox07]

again top class

[Xnocturnus]

Another sweet lesson. Thanks Thomas.

[roryd1979]

Love the cap dude! Happy St. Patricks day for tomorrow man. You've been real inspiration. Started back playing bass after a very long absence.

[MarloweDK]

Thx but im not irish;-)

[roryd1979]

I know, and sure it doesn't matter what nationality you are. Hope you have a good one man!

[MarloweDK]

Well apart from that we dont celebrate that holiday in my part of the world, but thx anyway:-)

[thatwhichidesire]

Nice hat :)

[KaioBassTuning]

good job man i like your slaps

[CountrySoap]

May I ask how do you record such a good quality? Do you use a webcam for both video and audio or do you run your bass through a mixing console and then to a soundcard?

[MarloweDK]

Video and audio separated, audio through amp through soundcard into computer as yuo kind of guessed

[dubzbass]

Awesome! Once again MarloweDk Makes it look so easy and sound so grrrrrreat, from soul to blues to funk to rock Marlowe DK is king of the lot!!! Thanks for giving us all inspiration to keep on taking our playing to new levels! a true master.

[MrLuciusVorenus]

i believe this lesson is so crucial marlowe, anyone who plays victor wooten style(attempts) needs to learn how to do this.

[EvenHummROCKS]

I wish i had your skills, how long have you been playing bass?

[cheopsnet]

Amazing as usual MarloweDK. Thanks to you, I decided to start the bass. Got myself a nice '64 Custom Shop Heavy Relic Jazz Bass and I am practicing as much as I can (my 12+ years on electric guitar actually help a lot).

Are you using the compression from the RH450 or are you using another source for the compression? Thanks

[MarloweDK]

Always use a bit of compression form the RH450, but in this case i also added a bit in Grageband to tighten the sound up even further

[ChakraWielder]

Yeee.... You know I'm loving that! Groovin all over the place. :-)

[AlexJackson91]

Ha you write such sexy lines!

[Deftcharge]

Funky and in Hi Def what more could a student ask for ? youtube should pay you for showing up on time ? I can see , I can see !

[Slurfs]

For some reason you ALWAYS have the really cool grooves ;)

[DESMYTTER]

I love it !

[nrwhite6325]

I am still trying to get the jazzy A thing that you did before.

[sswindgassen]

i can't stop watching...or grinning

[roryrobinson]

Goddamn this is some superbly funkeh bass!

[ted2biel]

So coOolL

[phildog2000]

[deomartinez77]

[bladesaint21]

Darn you Marlowe.. I'm trying to get to the gym and youre messin me up with this great Bass lesson. I just wanted to peak at this clip and save it for later but its so hard to walk away from this now!

[RUBENPEREZmusic]

[BassistNumber2587]

Thanks for the great shoot of the slow part, it is very helpful to see your hands in a close up an the tuner in the background a bit bigger.

Regards from Germany

[cornflakesnwater]

[Romans10Verse9]

Funky dude! It kinda reminds me of "Me and My Bass Guitar"

Not the strumming part but the accented slap part definitely.

[wackiirahki]

[dreadpiratedan]
