marcus miller run for cover

[nsyunta]

guitar sound is large...i iisten marus bass!!

[TheHeidarNowar]

kenny garrett is a beast

[slapbassforthewin]

I am currently working on this song. Marcus Miller is a genius. It might take me awhile just to get the timing right

[markdlowe]

A standard 70's Jazz bass with maple and ash, Bartolini TCT preamp, bad ass bridge, DR fat beams and you have exactly what he has. If you sound any different to Marcus then is all ability.

[slapbassforthewin]

@markdlowe you have a point. :D

[MartaBass2]

... This is awesome!

[phillybass101]

Marcus is more than just technique, he has soul/rhythm/feeling/articulati­on/note placement/ a monster tone. and his slap atyle is efficient. Not a lot of wasted movement. He is more than show. Moreso than a lot of slappers he has substance. ask any cat who can slap for real

[markdlowe]

@phillybass101 This is very true. It irratates me how some bass players fall to the notion that if you play slap and do a fast oct run it's great. usually it sounds very corny. I think your term substance is right on.

[MrThisch]

Gotta run for rover before I get slapped by that nasty ass bass

[nickrome55]

C'mon FOLKS! Marcus can Play, and the way we ALL play is as unique and as different as OUR FINGERPRINT! Marcus, like a lotta cats could use some work, as He is hooked in to the Clique of cats thats constantly gigging, as the rest is illusion. Just remember when you use Picstacotto you don't let your G string Execution Overshadow your open E Thumb syncopation, or Overplay. What Marcus is doing is COOL, believe me, but I was doing that the first 4 months I was playing; good showman; Alot of hype.

[Pajazzify]

5:54 = lionel richie on keys!

[funkeemon]

Hiram just jointed Mile's band.

[macangondrong]

Christian Scott is an NHL player in a kiddie rink compared to Patches Stewart.... No offense.

[bronxtigre]

[fleatard13]

[1993BigNasty]

WHO are the 7 people willing to die??

[Indoanonymous]

After hearing a song played several times you get sick of it right? well it's true....unless it's this song

[eusouchico]

His heart doesn't beat like a normal one... His heart SLAPS!!!

[wharrislv]

The best Marcus performance of all time. Hiram KILLS it with the dance moves lol. I have the whole concert and it is great!

[axeman721]

anybody else think this sounds like a miles davis song?

[jfufighter]

@ Loukana and all viewers who's perception may be similar, check out the youtube video of Marcus Miller w/ Miles Davis. He is a beast at fingerboard technique. Sometimes when listening to his recordings, it is difficult for me to detect when he's playing fingerboard style and when he's popping and slapping.

[97bassdarbslap]

i want mm

[duosyntagma]

go kenny, go !!!

[guitar17johnny]

ohhhhhhhh, i love that snare. and of course the bass xD

[fabulozzzo]

[chickenandababy]

[chickenandababy]

[pepperpod1]

You can find it on : David Sanborn's Album

Straight To The Heart-1984

He was the Composer of this song

[pepperpod1]

Marcus Miller Composed this song on David Sanborn's album

if I was not clear in my 1st comment

; )

[axeman721]

@pepperpod1 yeah i can hear maputo in there

[spartabus]

i have the same problem. apparently it is on some bootleg called "the other tapes", which i think can only be pirated. not sure.

[bigtoine45]

More guitar players need to study Hiram. He is a great example of a guitar player under control. It is so tempting to want to take over as a guitar player, but he always serves the music.

R.I.P

[cet1905]

killer tone

[wroner11]

zajebiste w chuj

[funkdyy]

vengaaaaaaa!!!!! agrrrrrrrr

[muzikjedi]

BEEFY TONE! Thick, meaty sounding punch! Slapping like Rocky punching a side of beef!

[nandotpt1]

vou tok ela .show de bola

[bathroomman]

this is one of my faverite marcus miller songs

[tavadigelovani]

for me, Marcus's music was better in early years, than it's now. he and his music was more full with feelings, than it's now...

[iraklaaaa]

its normal..

i dont remember now artist who became more tasteful after years of carriere...

maybe pat metheny

[inuyashaspet]

i agree. something about his playing style here seems way too loose, especially when he gets to the solo. Love the aggressive and tight playing of his older versions more.

[Ahsfb61]

I really appreciate this apology, even though i'm not involved at all. We need more folks like you!

[ddezer]

i hope you're joking, dude)))

[tat2jim]

Miles!LOL! It's Patches Stewart.

[illmatic2k9]

the trumpet player is actually amazing as well, is he famous?

[BrandonKeIIy42]

man that was freaking amazing props for putting the vidoe up dude :D

[Lumberjack88]

hiram bullock really enriches this music piece with his funky and smooth chords... rest in peace man...

[loukana]

@aztec

for the slap i think it's mostly the technique that makes u sound good or not because it's quite hard and u need to train a lot. but of course u have a better sound if u play on a fender Jbass marcus miller signature^^

[Aztec1011]

Thanks man!

[trptpaul]

@loukana I agree. It's all how you play an instrument, not the "rep" it gets from magazine reviewers; likewise, a shitty student fender can be made to play just like the highest end gibson. it just takes the heart. remember that, kids.

[Malsanoman]

@loukana loved you comment uahahahah

[EliAndRYAN]

@loukana totally agree i have an ibanez soundgear and i can slap pretty good but it doesnt compare to the sound you get with a bass like that

[Aztec1011]

I want to get a bass guitar and I was wondering is it the bass or the technique that makes it sound really good with slapping?

[luxemkingII]

the technique but slap is a hard technique to get a really good sound so you'll be probably only 2 years getting a good sound and still working on it but you can't really slap with any bass like i play an ibanez at school but a fender 70's jazz bass at home and the sound of the slap on the fender is 100000000 times better than on that shitty ibanez

[Aztec1011]

Thanks :D

[drumsterdude1]

Actually, the sound comes from several different things. Technique is first, you can sound good on any bass if you have your technique down. After that, you need really good pickups, certain pickups were made for certain sounds in a guitar. Then comes the amplifier. If you want to sound anything Marcus, you need a well balanced amp with good high and low frequencies. With a good combination of technique, pickups, and an amp, you will sound great. I know from lots of experience.

[Petertje08041969]

It is not only that, it is what you do with the instrument and amps. Music is emotion, if you put emotion in your music (like Marcus) than you get a good sound. Even with cheap stuff you can get a good sound. With my Ampeg BA-115T and a Fender Jazz (made in Korea) you can get the same sound as Marcus.

[muhki91]

Groovy bass solo and song itself:D Marcus knows how to groove!

[SuperSayanIII]

Yes, i can play this, but not at that speed tho, a touch slower

[LautaroPiano]

is fantastic

belive or not

marcus miller

[jcubman]

I only really like the intro- if he just played that over and over I would be happy!

[bajistaimo]

[marshallkiller]

[thengwa108]
