slow funk groove

[coltvids16]

@marloweDk

This grooves my soul to the max

[kukulsaurus]

Clearly 8 person are not capable to enjoy low frequencies.

[Chaos1286]

this seals it... im buying a bass... your an inspiration

[kiathuang2]

100K+ views and no +1s? Something's not right there. No way can leave something this good without a +1. You've a wealth of music in you Marlowedk!

[zaksnaporaz]

wow, can't believe it - this is soooo damn funky it makes me itch !!!

[cenzi6]

damn I wish it didnt end.... :(

[arienutsbassist]

genious!

[Pollutens]

1:50 is so cool

[bombersmrz]

NO! Where is the rest of it? Why did it stop?

[jesuscortez100]

that groove was so amazing that even the camera was shaking it's head XD

[jaggerImI]

The dead notes got them all !

[enahcs]

jeeze...the groove.......wow...the tone. I may just have to pick up a Fender jazz.

[StrawberryJungle]

Porn. SEXY!

[blightlv]

this sounds like Fuck Your Face.

[gyoshoshin]

Most cool! I played bass in a band in the 60's, but nothing like today's styles! You are really really good!

[paopao1012]

hey just asking what do you use for your backing tracks? good job btw!

[GONZOFAM7]

1:38- 1:41 just wow.

[TelecasterBlaster]

If I ever won the lottery, I would hire you to follow me around with a portable bass amp!

[Drektarz]

Dude youre god status

[MrBayDK]

I want to learn that!!!!!!........cool!!!!

[sirmilagres]

How come aren't you in a band?

You simply ROCK!

At least as much as Flea

congrats dude! ( =

[RCAvhstape]

@sirmilagres He is in a band, check out his website at the top of the page here.

[WildGrooveMaker69]

damn,that's the groovy shit

[piratedan123]

Every time I went to learn something new and gather new styles for songs, I go back to your videos. It's also even cool to just let your music play...Do you record any tracks?

[TheGreenPlague]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit­.

[Tremblay343]

@TheGreenPlague

Pretty much sums up what i was thinking the whole time

[laidyeh]

Was wondering how come you didn't slow down on this one like you do on the other video's?...My grandson would really like to learn to play this...Can you redo, and slow it down so that he can see what frets you are playing??? Would appreciate it if you did... :-)

[bbBassYo]

@laidyeh Probably because its a fairly easy lick. Learning this by ear should be easy and also really educational!

[MPatz1000]

jesus christ f*** and monkeyballs. YOU HAVE THE FUNK !!

: ) I aspire to you

[TwoSexyFourMyShirt]

I can't stop watching this vid. I'ts too awesome

[laidyeh]

Man you are awesome...How long have you been playing, and who influenced you??? You are the baddest funkiest White man I have ever seen on a bass...If I closed my eyes and listen, you sound just like Marcus, or even the great Larry Graham....Please know that you have influenced my grandson to play...He sits here on your page, and take the lessons that you give...Thanks for sharing so much...Wishing you nothing but the best...BTW, where are u located???? :-)

[MarloweDK]

@laidyeh Well, the names you mention are big influences : Thx for the thumbs up:-)

[martinopangefino]

[dofane]

[hippieho1]

[SlagathoR45]

[FactsOfLifee]

I dig. Kinda reminded me of Aint no Sunshine When She's Gone.

[pympjuice3g]

Do YOU have a dvd or something. I really would love to learn ypur style.

[KazeReload]

holy shit... great. Inspiring.

[rmjr2006]

Great groove

[Wolstenholme16]

It's a jazz bass with the corp of a precision?

[DessertsRUsLtd]

This is great! I watched a few of your vids and went straight out and bought a bass! Nothing fancy but something to get to grips with the groove. 35 years of playing guitar and I just realised that I was playing the wrong instrument after watching you play your chops.

[WinsomeJohnny]

@DessertsRUsLtd ..WOW man..I feel ya..but hey,Much respect to guitar..So how you coming along with the bass?

[DessertsRUsLtd]

@WinsomeJohnny Not bad actually. I'll maybe put a few licks on YT soon but I'm a long long way of DK's level of skill. I'm driving my wife mad with funk!

[redshoesonmyfeet]

wow dude, realy amazing groove, how do you get that sound out of that bass? its a fender P bass, am i right? have you changed the pickups of the bass? which amp do you use? any particular eq?

sory ive done so many questions but i love the way it sounds!!!

[dbrowntoday]

[deadlease]

[saz123ful]

what machine can i buy for practise with my bass??? i want to have tuner,metronome and rythms on it...

[hardminder]

a computer man!!!

[Knarf009]

A bass multi-effects pedal will give you all of that. Go to one of your local music stores and ask about one of those and they'll be able to help you out.

[wursthunter]

get a computer

[BENCHPRESSMAN]

You can find them on line for free

[topcatiscool]

nicer than pussy or chocolate or a chocolate pussy.

[cdirado]

Congratulations! You have achieved bass Zen! Another outer body experience in music ...thanks MarloweDK. You get it!

[TommyNegeal]

Dope as shit man!!!!!!!

[basshumpinyoface6]

seriously marlow you just humped the shit outta my face with that bass line

[basshumpinyoface6]

bass humpin the face

[TwoSexyFourMyShirt]

Marlowe do u use the double peel off or something when you slap a lot? because if it's essential in learning funk bass i better start practissing, because i only now how to slap regularely

[gr00vybass]

He uses the double thumb technique a lot (if that's what you mean). It's a really useful technique, but it's pretty tough to get the hang of (I'm still trying to figure it out!).

[TwoSexyFourMyShirt]

yeah i ment that. Thanks for the information

[martinlaporte2]

Man, that shit is STANK !!!

Unreal !!! As we say in french: Magnifique !

[SimuLord]

Funkier than that homeless chick on the bus who hasn't washed her money parts in months. Funkier than me after a three-day weekend with no place to go and plenty of food in the house. Funkier than a Limburger cheese factory. This is Fun-KAY.

[TwoSexyFourMyShirt]

are ya a Limburger?

[Spydaman121]

I like that Slow Funk. It was FUNKY like 4 day old cabbage.

[TwoSexyFourMyShirt]

@Spydaman121 wtf? :P

[masterbasser22]

[didirahmantobudi]

nice man.

[spikeman27]

I am a guitarist of about 2.5 years and im infatuated with the bass now and want to pick it up. Im thinking of the squire vintage modified jazz bass, is it a good choice?

[choigunz]

hells yes...its my first bass and the price didnt burn a huge hole in my wallet good first bass sound is good

[hyropath]

Thank you for sharing your talent with us Marlowe. I hope all you dreams come true.

[tyjacks]

MarloweDK, What type of play-a-long system, PC software, or device are oyu using. Really like your playing, it's inspired me to pick the bass back up againg after 10 year.

[superchan1903]

I think he's using the Korg Toneworks Pandora PX4. I have one (the PX4B version) and they are fantastic. Well worth the investment.

[40years2late]

TEACH ME!!!!!!!!!!

lol seriously is there a tab for this?

sexy groove bro

[kevermanslap]

u just made my nipples hard for the 100th time! lol

[grogfunk]

sweet playing man, didn't like the slides at the end but that's just my oppinion.

[Elnegrocosi1]

excelente me dieron ganas de aprender a tocar bajo

excelent i wanna play bass

[o0Angara0o]

1:03 -> 1:47

\o/ definately one of the best grooves I ever heard you never cease to surprise me Marlowe

[fuzzyheadsnowman]

i never really thouhgt about it before but funk makes me do the constpated dance too. I cant lie though you are the cleanist slap player i heard in a while hell yeah!

[Romans10Verse9]

Freakin nasty!

[Lethalbloodloss]

what kind of scales do you find usefull for jammin slow funk grooves.

[kakeup]

have u been milking that funky ball of tits from outa space because u defiantly have the funk. lol (mighty boosh fragrance)

[Voicebox722]

LMFAO wow that was funny

[RockandRolRadio3]

Get the Funk outa my face man!

That sexy bass playing should be outlawed man. Keep groovin' man. We need more bassist like you.

[dbrowntoday]

thats the real funk there. the pfunk. uncut funk.

[monstajopps]

Adventures In Outer Bass - have a listen to THIS Stingray!!

[hammertimeman]

Nice playing. do you have a tab, i couldn't quite work out a section?

much appreciated

[dan1215]

no lie when i say this....i was listening to this....and then 10 seconds in i find my self actually standing up doing my little funk dance where i kinda do a wave thing with my body and head and make the constipated funk face.....you are amazing!

[monstajopps]

"constipated funk face"

that's funny!! I don't think there's a musician out here that doesn't know what you mean!!

[RockandRolRadio3]

Monstajopps: absolutly, man. Everyone that plays funk or soul would have, at one time or another, have made the constipated funk face. Whether on stage or alone at home funkin' out.

[r0dstube21]

Oh sooo funky!!!!!

[Vidi21121988]

You're simply fantastic ! Is this a impro or does it is inspired from au song ?

[prfischer]

Awe....Helllll yeah!

'Nuff said.

[oooowwwwdddd]

Dude, you're real good! Can you do School Days by Stanley Clarke? I'd love to see how you do it.

[PowerSlaveN]

You have the funk sir. I want some.

[Fentharr]

That was pretty funky my friend.

[eyehaveballs]

You do that Marcus Miller signature justice.

[tequilla333]

man, you're a groove master. do you play in any band?

[eusouchico]

impressive! very very good!!! And it sounds like marcus miller!

[edvin444]

wow =)) man ur so amazing :D

love your slapping =))

keep it working!! ;)

[eisenstaedtklein]

just love it :)

[ludzikzpiernika]

You know what MarloweDK ? You are a cool guy ;]

[happyslappysoong]

nice man, i'm not how inpsired by marcus you are but i can really hear the marcus in this little tune.

[ConCon75]

you sir have made me fall inlove with bass. i now dream of bass solos.

[letjs]

umm..did u start the acoustic guitar first, and then moved onto bass? or did u start bass guitar first? i wanna know cuz im about to learn a string instrument

[MarloweDK]

i started with guitar as a teenager but the band needed a bassit (classic), but theres no "right" sequence. Learn to play the piano

[EvaGoN]

I never knew you were that musically oriented. It's amazing!

[Zchronic]

@MarloweDK LOL, this is exactly why I am watching this right now, I am the rhythm guitar player, 7 bass players later I am learning the bass... I am already better than 5 out of those 7... 1 week into it.... Awesome lessons brother...!

[teundrumhead]

@MarloweDK why is it important to learn piano?

im drumming for a year or 8, and start with bass.

[MsMarco43]

@MarloweDK do tou like marcus miller

[SlikkTim]

Hahha, when slowing down you really show your larry graham side. I can hear him go "Weeeellllll" :D

[MarloweDK]

Thx Slikk, couldnt get a better "thumbs up" than that:-)

[SlikkTim]

Don't mention it :p BTW, I really do think your "red spanky one" sound better than anything when you slap. It has such tone, it's unbelivable. The MM makes sound too much like a Marcus clone to me, whereas your red one... man you got YOUR tone with it. Sell the Marcus and buy some cool shit lol :p

[posido24]

I like your feel and your tone

[geddyleerocks15]

FUNK MASTER

[Silversingrown]

is this all inprov

[scaniafunk]

Hey Marlowe

great bass playing, one of my favorite instruments. Love that slap bass style.

Marcus Miller, Jaco Pastorius & Stanley

Clarke sure must be inspiration for you.

Keep up the good work, man.

scaniafunk (Sweden)

[eow93]

Awesome, man!

You make it all look so effortless

[DampRabbitVideo]

Awesome, one of my favorites of yours so far. And they've all been pretty good :)

[knifer22]

Have you done California Dreaming yet? I'd love to her it with some funk

[runallday400j50]

clean

[jimdoire]

You're a badass!

[ReyBass]

MarloweDK for President

[Scorpymhk]

The Constitution of the United States of America requires that candidates for president be natural-born citizens of the U.S. and U.S. residents for at least 14 years; MarloweDK is therefore not eligible for candidacy at this time.

[MarloweDK]

to reybass & Acrpymhk:

Thx guys, but i think i'll settle for governor of California;-)

[Mikethepingoo]

Hem, seems you have to much brain for this job :)

[pixelpusher3000]

Surely the Minister of Funk position is open.

You've got MY vote, Marlowe!!

[pixelpusher3000]

Surely the Minister of Funk position is open.

You've got MY vote, Marlowe!!

[sswindgassen]

love it

[liamemac]

marlowe! how the hell do you do it?

[growl120]

thanks for my next project. This is the perfect funky teaching lesson!!!

[MarloweDK]

to growl:

wasnt a lesson, just a slow groove i came up with

[growl120]

duely noted thanks.

[zaksnaporaz]

woaaoow: back to the basics ! YEAH !! ...I was at Copenhagen's airport for 35' today, not too far away from your magical groove hole ;o)

[iplaybass77]

that bass sounds incredible Marlowe

what strings do you use on it :D

DR`s ?

[alexanderosj]

swabe

[bwsailer]

This one is great. Its at a speed I can handle and still groovin'. Thanks!

[xiz90]

Has something happned to your webcam? (built in mac?)

This video aint as sharp as "Some skunk funk" or "up the creek".

[MarloweDK]

to xiz90:

No, sometimes i choose a wrong compression setting when exporting the video

[xiz90]

Quiuck answer :D I like ^^

[frfremont]

oui monsieur !!!!!!! that's funky groovy I really like it !!! thx a lot

[parapab61]

top player as always

[oldetimes]

that was some sweet groove, - 5 star

[fatoche89]

One of the best updates in a while.

[pbeachmike]

you are just super smooth...

love the over all tone of this...

i favored it to try and get it some extra plays.

peace

[kissassdude123]

New jazz bass Marlowe?? White Jazz Body, Maple Neck, Lightly painted inlays, Vintage Groovers?

[MarloweDK]

to kissass:

Nope, same ole MM signature

[kissassdude123]

really? it looks like a vintage, did you change the pickguard and your marcus sig?

[kissassdude123]

oh also, it doesnt look black looks more like a tort. shell pickguard

[MarloweDK]

to kissass:

You're trippin'!:-D

[rakmanenuff2]

even more tricky if you play 1/3 of that and

leave more spaces.

[funkybrezhoneg]

cool!!

[maturanesa]

nice groove!

reminds me to graham
