He ain't got d face of a musical face of a bassist. He should be a banker. His black hat coupled with his demeanor oozes the aura of a black E.T destroying the place with his guitar. He is simply awesome. GO MARCUS
if you like marcus' style of playing, please check out my first self-written slap tune in my channel, JUST CLICK MY NAME. it's called "fluid circulation" and i'm looking forward to your reviews, tipps and improvement suggestions.
Marcus blows Flea away! Flea gets a little sloppy at times where marcus is tight and focused.
Marcus is the best slap and pop bassist. Better than Wooten, he's just too busy Victor and gets sloppy as well. The only other guy that can give Marcus competition is richard Bona .
Jaco is still the legend of all time though. Marcus himself will admit that, he learned from Jaco !
Marcus Miller plays amzingly well, when he plays his personality shines through his playing. I love to hear him play. I can say exactly the same thing about Flea. They are both wonderfully talented musicians. Why not just enjoy the fact that there are many amazing musicians out there to listen to and learn from. Comparing talents is subjective and open to perception and taste.
Please guys, if you like Marcus Miller, check out my newest self written track in my channel and give me a feedback. i love marcus millers tunes and tried to create a similar sound, check it out :)
@arcmccun Yeah, but Flea essentially took his playing style from guys like Marcus Miller and brought it into west-coast rock. And I'm sorry, but while Flea is a good player and all, Miller could SMOKE him.
@locmaster19 mute the string G just keeping your left hand fingers up on them and then with the right hand, fingers index and ring he pull in sequence. You can find any tutorials on YT searching "slap triplet".
Its ludacris to say that Flea is not a good bassist because he is, and its ludacris to say that Marcus is not good. They both are amazing players they just have different styles. Flea is slapping his bass with all his might where Marcus is more chill.
@LordBlackWood189 Marcus Miller has a lot of groove. I don't think Flea has much groove at all, his style of playing seems to be slapping the bass as fast as possible.
@LordBlackWood189 No doubt about that! It wouldn't be the Chili Peppers without Flea! I think it's just me being stubborn because I really love Marcus Miller x)
I think Flea and Miller are two different kind of grooves, yknow? Flea is blending funk style riffs in a rock setting, so he goes really fast (which is damn impressive) and guys like Miller are more traditional bass virtuosos, so it is groovier. They're both gods though.
@CoolKateBass they are both good bassists but their styles are differents. comparing marcus miller with flea is like comparing sex and blowjob. you cant compare them you need to love both of them ;)
Though I have gotten older with age I still love flashy, technical and speedy stuff but Marcus has proven one thing for sure, Finesse and balance counts...
I think 100 of the 3 million views of this video belong to me! Every time I view it, I walk away inspired. This shows why Mr. Miller sits at the top of my favorite players list.

@rjohnston96 sorry, dude. Stu is great but in no way does he put Miller to shame. They both have their different styles but to say Stu hamm can put Marcus Miller to shame in any category is just retard talk. I've seen them both live and they each have their strengths that the other doesn't excel as well at but when talking about two bass greats who could each have their own spot on the Mt Rushmore of Bass, it's pretty childish to still be talking about "who blows away who".
What the fuck does being 'black' have to do with this guy's remarkable bass playing?! As though being 'black' is a natural disadvantage to being an awesome bassist.
And you get 29 thumbs up for that comment?? Sad...
@goodrobotusses because he pointed out that he was black? Give me a break. Everybody is so sensitive to ANYTHING having to do with race in this country, it's insane. He IS, in fact black. That's not racist, that's just a fact. Jesus christ.
@fratuz if god existed, he'd play instrument better than a bass.. seriously. thats like saying if god drives a car, he drives a Hyundai excel. No. Just no. God does not drive a hyundai, and neither do I. I dont even like cars that much. Unless they are transformer. Then they good, especially deceptricones, twat face.
