Sometimes is dificult to understand what you say, your english is very good but some words your speech is shuffled,, maybe subtitles in videos will be perfect.

Thanks a lot for more one excellent lesson

[MarloweDK]

@nialho I dont use a script, its purely improvising, so sometimes i "fumble" for the right words in english:-)

[morrissteven]

@MarloweDK actually, when I watched this video I noticed an imrovment in your pronunciation. I think your English has gotten more natural since a year or so ago. Just out of curiosity, do you find learning an instrument similar to learning a language?

[MarloweDK]

@morrissteven Thanks:-) Yes I sort of compare learning to improvise to learning a language. You start with words (phrases , licks) and get better at putting sentences (solos, fills, basslines) together

I just thought I'd let you know that I have been watching your bass lessons, and bass lines for a couple of years now and I really appreciate you posting these videos for everyone to see. They make an amazing learning tool, and they really helped me out in my early learning stages of bass. You're much appreciated!! :D

Sorry bout the typo in the comment.

[milkman4797]

At first, I thought not many people who think of the bass as more than just a background instument, but I can see now that there are many others who thinks so, too. Thanks for the videos.

[DanceLukeDancee]

For those have difficulty:

At first, I thought "I will NEVER be able to do this!"

I'm very new to slap bass, and I thought I wouldn't be able to do it

BUT, for around two days I remembered the notes and rhythm, and now I can just about do it :]

Just stay positive, and start of REALLY slow

You are Danish?

[Dragoull]

Love the shirt, love the bass, love the playing, love the lesson, love the man!

[vaxmarley]

Hell yeah dude! Nice Pulp Fiction shirt. It'd be even better if Samuel L. had a little speech bubble that said, "mothafucka".

[MegaRhcp4ever]

i got a question my birthday is in november whats a good bass guitar for a step above beginner but below intermediate?

[elfowp]

Greatings my friend MarloweDK!,

I'm trying hard to do the same slap example that u're doin', but I couldn't realize if u were playing C and G, for four times, and later, D and A at 4:50 ...

[ThatVestGuyGaming18]

[BrAnDoNeulberg]
