[ehnock92]

[reycon24]

I like your style.

 Good funky music.

[DUBXXX]

hey man, amazing playing love the marcus miller vid too, great work, btw love the MM 4 string signature bass im getting one soon hehe take it easy bassmaster

[dowsemeister]

You play with a lot of heart. The best players screw up all the time too. I dig what you're doing.

Great Marcus tune too

[funkstar650]

Thanx so much! True that the best also screw up sometimes. And yes I do intend to play with my heart. Hey I checked out your vids... great playing! Keep up the good work! Very inspiring...

Peace

[dkcvv]

Flaws, flaws... Who cares about the flaws ? No flaws in your groove !

Peace,

F.

[funkstar650]

LOL thank you so much my man! You're right, we shouldn't care about the flaws since I ain't Marcus! :-) Just having fun on this one...

Peace my Bro

[Ry42Back]

Great playing my man one of my favourite MM tunes and again you nailed it top stuff.

[funkstar650]

Thanx my man, I don't think I 'nailed' it really. There are some terrible flaws in it but it's jst me. One take and that's it. I don't go for perfection but I go for the fun(k)! :-)

Peace and thanx for commenting

[Ry42Back]

[SampJaco]

Every sound is in your basses...:DJaco,Marcus,funky,J­azz,Stanley:D awsome

[funkstar650]

Thank you so much my friend. I didn't do so well in this one though. I think my play along of Power is a lot better than this one. Peace

[LarzastiC]

you're sound chills me to the spine and thank you for that. Amazing :)

[funkstar650]

It's Marcus his sound that sends the chills in my opinion... I am just kinda copying his sound (sorta). Did you see my version of 'Power'?

Thanx for the comment

Peace

[delainer100]

[funkstar650]

Hey Leo, thanx for the comment and the rating. I personally think my play along of Power by Marcus Miller is better than this one. Seen your vids and your doing a great job!!! You got talent my friend. Keep on playing that bass OK!

[shadowza]

Ben zelf ook maar aan de slag gegaan had dit nr ook altijd uit willen zoeken heb de melodieen al en de groove een beetje maar al die treolen enzo fokkking hell nou ja!! Thnks you got me inspired.. Keep it up bro!!

[funkstar650]

Hey shadowza, ja het is en blijft een lekker nummer. Als je hulp nodig hebt hoor ik het wel OK? Amatoooooooo

Funkstar650

[shadowza]

Damnz bro is this for real. Is gewoon fokking geen verschil!!!!!

[funkstar650]

Hey shadowza, dankuwel! :-) Ik denk dat ik Power beter heb gespeeld dan deze. Hier zitten aardig wat slordigheidjes in. Kijk maar ff naar mijn andere clips.

Thanx & peace enneh, keep in touch!

[happyslappysoong]

hey man could you post a tutorial of this song or something? even just the intro? its a killer to work by ear...

[funkstar650]

Hey Stevenseee, thanx for your comment. Yes you are correct: it's a copy of Marcus Miller's bass. It's simpy called the Fender Marcus Miller Signature series. They come in 4 and 5 string versions.

And yep, I am still a kid and hope I will never grow up! LOL

Peace

[Stevenseee]

you get the same sound of miller, you got the same bass O.o. Great video :)

hmm, whats the name of the bass, i mean, the serie :S .. you know what i mean :P..

at the end you look happy like a kid, thats good. the kids are always happy ;)

[rastamonxse]

yo man its me again, i've been looking over your comment posts and noticed how you've told everybody the fact that you didnt play the song "error free/flawlessly". Dont worry about that man, nobody's perfect. Its good that you notice these things but there's no need to put yourself down aight. Just keep practicing and doing your best ok. Take it easy

[BalazsAdam]

Oh, my god!

It's amazigly great.

I like Marcus Miller, too.

Can you send me this song's tab? I've been searching it for months.

Thanks is advence!

[funkstar650]

Hey Balazsadam, thanx for the comment! Appreciate it. Unforntunately I don't work with tabs. The best instrument to learn it with are your ears. Tabs are no good for these kinda complicated songs. Just try to listen to it real carefully and then play the parts one by one. Maybe my vid will help at least a little bit.

Good luck and tell me how you are progressing OK?

Peace

[tammygoat44]

sounds very good, nice mix with music and Bass!!!

[funkstar650]

Thanx tammygoat44! Appreciate the comment! :-)

Peace & LOVE

[Blyss]

you are so f/n awesome.

[funkstar650]

Hey Blyss, thanx for the comment. I think I didn't do too well on this one though. This was one of my first uploads and the mix of the bass and the music wasn't right. The bass sounds too sharp as well. Plus, I made quite a ot of mistakes in this one. But then again, I ain't master of all Trades Marcus :-). Yesterday I uploaded 'Power' which has a better balance and sound.

Thanx for da comment and I am keeping an eye out on your awesome vids as well!

Peace & keep that bass rollin'

[Blyss]

shoot. sounded great to me. just got back home from seeing Marcus in SF at Yoshi's - he's was killin em

[funkstar650]

You did? wow! Last time I seen him play was last year here in the Netherlands in my hometown Utrecht. Great show, great sound and of course, incredible playin' by Marcus plus his band members. Seen my version of 'Power' yet?

Peace

[rastamonxse]

Love this song man, Listened to it for the first time about a month ago and was hooked. You did an impressive job too, keep it up aight

[funkstar650]

thanx rastamonxse! Appreciate the comment. Didn't play it flawlessly though. Especially some of the slips in the solo. But oh well, one take and that's it ;-).

Peace

[bandfreak4]

this is so fuckig sweet nice work man

[RTBM]

Sounds good man!

[funkstar650]

Thx RTBM! Appreciate the comment. I didn't play it error free though but I only do one take and that's it. It's like I play things live. If you want to see it being played perfectly then people better watch Marcus playing it :-). He IS the master!

But thanks for the comments anyways!

[RTBM]

well, everybody has his own style of playing, you play marcus his style and that's an achiefment on it's own. he should play a song of you to look who is better hahaha, cheers
