[kododragon]

[kododragon]

[ricZ134]

[foreverthewho]

ohyeah! bra da!

[Fjord76]

Hi I'm back...again ;)

Still diggin that funky jam :)

Peace out.

[Fjord76]

This jam is THE shit as far as i'm concerned

Love it :D

Thanks for posting.

[Zado94]

i dont like your lessons but i would very much if you spoke in them and explained your progressions

[sammyR191]

no one has that tone and style on youtube *bow*

[biggspoon68]

yeah dats a Marcus Miller Bass

[Chatatonic]

First: good recording ! Second: nice play. Very sling and loose grip - and so pretty layed back. Good style for a bassist to keep the torch in a band :) I like it !

[palooka4u]

Pocket funk is where it's at. He's slingin' it all over the groove and it's locked down tight. I so dig this. Great playing brother!!!

[nightgrip]

I hate you

[shantypiker41367]

Howya gettin' that tone?Direct? Amp?

smooooooooooooooooooooooooooth­e!!!

[kattes]

It's trough a korg pandora..

But then again, this guy could play trough a clock radio and sound smoother than any babys butt..

[Titus413]

Great stuff! Wish it was longer. Every mans dream!

[Questionmark800]

But it sounds amazing on a bass and I bet the same on a guitar.

[sangsaratrip]

is that that new fender jazz bass with the vintage body radius? looks like it

same color and everything

[fenderjbass19]

im fairly certain thats a MM signature

[thegreatsze]

whoa. great tone. what is your setup - mic, amp and bass (EQ levels et al)?

[Sasuke6060]

Nice Fender Marcus Miller (it is MM right???)

And nice playing too dude

[1bass1master1]

Thanks MarloweDK! I suck at struming,And this video was big help to me.You should make some more videos with you struming.I think

Les Claypool from primus did a lot of struming in his songs.

[BarneyIsPerverted]

Very punchy, percussive sound.

[suiram007]

thanks! but have you made it youself?

[MarloweDK]

to suiram:

Clever boy;-)

[suiram007]

whaatt is the name of this song?

i want to learn it:P

[MarloweDK]

to suiram:

Hmmmm, lets call it "gritty ditty marlowe"

[MilitaBass]

what bass is that?

[danablett]

loos like a fender marcus miller in olympic white. beautiful.

[mortemort]

It's a Fender Marcus Miller sign. Jazz Bass. They are awsome.

[maxern]

how is the sound when not slapping? is it a must to slap this bass to get "the sound" or does it have a good punchy sound generaly??

[Juxtapolice]

yeah dude, its all how you eq it. obviously people love the jazz basses for their authoritative growl and punch in a slap set up, but play through the bridge pickup roll off the tone a bit and you have a great dynamic jazz or jaco funk tone. aswell, mess with the neck pickup and you can even get p bass esque tones - tho this the marcus miller bass so its goin to be situated around slap more, but watch/listen to millers pluckin tone

[celinder58]

Done with taste like all your videos. Please explain why you don't play a Celinder or a nice Morch, seeing you're Danish? Keep the faith and don't fake the funk!!

[MarloweDK]

Never tried them

[0098700]

That is amazing how long have you been playing

[elykoko]

omg we use the same scales! but i dont use it as good as you.. i use blues, mixolydian, dorian mainly, then some plain pentatonic.. =)

you won me.. im subscribed!

can you tell me more great ways to use dorian and mixolydian in slapping..?

[Silentlamb13]

now thats some nasty funk right there. great job. say.... wut brand of strings do you use

[blinkbassest]

all i know that i use for improvising is pentatonic scales, what else would be cool for slapping

[MarloweDK]

80 % of the time you're good with that, but throw in the dorian minor (1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7) playing over minor tonality, mixolydian (1 2 3 4 5 6 b7) playing over bluesy major tonality and remember the major pentatonic (1 2 3 5 6)playing over pure major (country, pop ballads ie)

[Zephyrwind1123]

Amazing! I was wondering how you make up such great licks? Do you just improvise?

[MarloweDK]

I usually sit for a while adlibbing, stumble across something of interest, cultivate it a bit, and record a video..
