Pentatonic bluesy bass riff

[subject2change13]

Rich ass douchey mexican jazz bass whore.

[oh8illy]

cool lick but the guy's kinda douchey

[MarianoSolGuitarra]

MarloweDK eres un fiera, mas que un maestro un heroe, muchas gracias. You are great, but a teacher a hero, thanks you very much.

[mbracing748]

Love it.. smooth. thx



[dharmaseed]

Forgive me for nitpicking Marlowe, but in all of your videos, I have never heard you play a 'riff'. A 'riff' to me, is the exact opposite of a 'groove', and your sense of groove is impeccable.

[legatotechniques]

fantastic

[MrCompaqs88]

NICE ! !

[DemonCleaner31]

tabs?

[yonatanyoni83]

13 people can't play bass.

[CSharpJellyBucket]

Sounds like a nod to Hendrix's "Power of Soul" to me. I like it!

[mcbane12]

You are seriously groovy. Groove on!

[juamkarloz89]

Do you use any pedals for ur bass?

[imawsome202]

Damn, you sure can play! How long have you been playing bass?

[lord360x]

YOU LOOK LIKE ERIC CLAPTON

[ranggabagja]

[ilsk3n]

[MeatPole6]

[losaryn]

Du er virkelig glad for "Fender jazz" basser :D

[Powerbasser]

You're great :-)

[2Stardumb]

Thats a sweet ass bass! Love the colors!

[scatered1]

bass is alot like guitar i play guitar i dont think it would that hard it wouldnt be much different...would it?

[liveat3media]

Hi Marlowe, what is that vibrato thing you are doing called? and what techniques would be good to practice it... Thanks :)

[yomoedaddy]

I am very new to the bass guitar and also trying to read sheet music,at times it seems overwhelming . Watching you and your video's for me is fun and also how you try to show others HOW and WHAT you are doing is purely and simply "CLASS" on your part. I have paid good money for video's that should not be shown in your presence. Thank You Greg

[MarloweDK]

@yomoedaddy Thanks Greg, you are most welcome:-)

[adsong]

Thanks again Teacher. Adson from Bahia/Brasil

[kalanquito]

NICE ....

[SuperLucho1234]

you are awesome! i love you hahaha.

checking out the lessons, keep up the incredible work!

[Chrls5]

hell yeah!!!

[wanwanwaver]

Marlowe. i'm not sure if anyones asked yet (sarcasm), but what type of fender is that? You have amazing technique.

[MarloweDK]

Its a 1971 Fender jazzbass, originally sunburst, but i painted it red myself:-D

[wanwanwaver]

Nice man, I'm only 17 now but i hope to save up some money for jazzbass or a warwick, i'm playing on a crappy old ibanez 5 string... it's been with me since i was 9

[ShawtySnappin14]

@MarloweDK  You bass is pure beauty.. i am jealous. you are awsome by the way :D

[cooptroop123]

@MarloweDK aww man you shoula kept the sunburst, awesome finish! i have a sunburst j bass myself and love it, im never getting rid of that thing!!

[bullstags]

you are the best.........

[jgsky]

wow I love this line!! Thank you!!!

[jeffkahl]

that was awesome! love the melodic ideas!

[JazzBass7]

I seriously have no words. I can't tell how many videos of this guy that I've watched and I own a Marcus Miller bass but I wanna put it up if this guy really exists, lol. More power to that groove of yours Marlowe. You're an inspiration man. Stay blessed!!!

[Zelious12]

I just think he's a figment of us bass players imagination of what a perfect bass player would be like. He's not real lol. Just amazing.

[JazzBass7]

@Zelious12 Exactly man, lol. 

[hesingshesobs]

Marlow, Thanks for another cool vid. Do you think you could do a line "inspired" by Tal Wilkenfeld sometime? Its cool if you don't, but just thought she has a blusey feel that seems somewhat unique and would be interesting as a daily lick.

Peace.

[berman3313]

Dude, Marlowe is da man! Tal should be inspired by him!

That said, anytime you "look" at Tal playing it's an inspiration.

Watching this vids is an inspirational gift!

[xhibitionism]

You always have a fresh idea! I love how you go overall of the fingerboard!

[spacedub1]

thing I like about your vids is you explain & teach, It's not just you showing off, props as always

[dkcvv]

Do you still need to have any comments on your vids ?

You know that everyone says "it's perfect !"

I just do the same. It's getting boring at last...

Try to put some crap to change !

No, I'm joking of course.

That's badass and very instructive as usual.

Peace,

Fred

[MarloweDK]

Lol, ill think about it;:)

[zaksnaporaz]

wooooo, such a tasty bass line !

[naedsukram]

is there any chance of gettin these grooves without drums to play to?

[obliviouster]

Cool! Cool! Coooooooooool!

[Bassaxe63]

<3 <3 <3

[soldmenta]

really nice bass!

i love it!

respect from peru!

[bassjak666]

i just got a bass about 5 mins ago and trying to learn, do have have any advice?

[CrazedBird]

Practice, practice, and practice.

[mryellow123]

Stu Hamm and Jaco Pastorious both have good instructional videos that go into 2 fairly different techniques and what you should be aiming for with as far as finger position and accuracy.

Starting slow and making sure you have a really good tone with where your fingers are pressing and how they're moving, before going faster will pay off.

[tbcass]

The Jaco video was invaluable to me but is useless for beginners. It's too advanced.

[mryellow123]

There is a good section where he talks about the difference between fingering close to bridge vrs over the neck pickup... and a few good major patterns if your eye is fast (there is a booklet, altho it's notation and not tab)...... doing intervals is great.... including 6ths...

[tbcass]

I learned a lot about using 6th's from that DVD. Now I incorporate them all the time.

[Damanik3]

when i watch your vids i get frustrated cos most are too fast for me to play along

[stevekap8]

Here is what my dear old violin teacher said to me:

Practice at a VERY slow speed at first.

Break it down into small sections, maybe one measure at a time.

Focus your practice on that few measures you are haveing trouble with, playing them in a "loop". Once you get them, only then do you try to put it all together.

[Kickbasser]

Very Funky!!! Nice job man!!!

[Mazinga]

love your style. you fly over the fretboard!

[henilk2007]

A very hip and cool groove!!

[piperpilot]

Do you play any other instruments?

[MarloweDK]

A little guitar - mostly rhythm

[Rafescow]

you could post a video of you laying down on the guitar :D would be awesome

[oolassarran]

helps for creativity... many thanks MarloweDK

[deomartinez77]

Marlowe was born to play this instrument. I love that "I know I sound cool" straight face ya use when ya make that bass sing.

[EoinLfc09]

yeah.... and when he slows it down without the backing track he puts on his "serious" face :P

[6stringbadger]

I'd love to see a video of you playing guitar to illustrate how you come up with bass lines to compliment it.

[tbcass]

Learning how to come up with great lines comes from a knowledge of scales, chords, rhythm and, through experience, just knowing what sounds great. I don't know if creativity can be taught.

[dbeater1]

pretty cool dude...

[camelspottergr]

one of the best grooves you ever created Marolwe! thank you so much! these are really helpful!

[d3peeto]

uno i would really like an explanation of how this is the pentatonic blues scale.. maybe its my lack of investigation but.. sometimes i really wonder how u can groove to just the right scale and know if that groove is a pentatonic or a major scale or wateva..

[MarloweDK]

Its like asking a carpenter: How do you know what size of nail to use on a particular piece of woodwork? Its experience, education, and in this case musicianship.... Study the subject and you will learn - get a teacher, go to the library, listen to music, practice...

[SoldierOfBreath]

Good SOOOOO good!!! Keep it up!

[lekoize]

that's the shit!

[v1ntone]

Smooth as cat shit man. Thats awesome.

[nZymes]

Awesome as always :)

[o0Angara0o]

love it
