  • watching this just makes me sick! I play almost all classical upright bass and thought I was pretty good, but your playing makes me look like a kindergartner. Are you also playing with more fingers than the thumb? I'm coming to Denmark in September, maybe I need some lessons!

  • @renatethomas Sure, just message me with your Denmark dates, im located in the center of Copenhagen

  • did you make up these bass riffs?

  • @mitch94560 Yes

  • Not going to lie, but this video is significantly below the usual quality of MarloweDK.

    The timing and feel just isn't there from around :40 -the end.

    With that said, MarloweDK is still one of the most proficient players on YouTube.

  • Lol, true, but its an old video - nowadays i have an obligation to play tight on videos;-)

  • How are you throwing those triplets in, like right around 0:08?

  • @UmphreysProwler I could be wrong but I believe he is muting all the strings with his left and I think he is using his thumb to slap the "A" index to pluck the "D" and middle to pluck the "G" then he slaps the "G" with his thumb or plucks it with his index.

  • I have already seen you do a lot of techniques but never tapping...

  • @shemhamforash999 Lol, for a second I thought you were asking why Dane Cook wasn't sleeping with Marlowe :)

  • @trisjanthorogood Sir, I suggest you try googling  "Dunning-Kruger effect"

  • Does anyone know where I can find a good bass player such as this in Los Angeles?

  • AND I'VE BEING PLAYING FOR 3 and a bit years (17 year old), so if you think this is amazing you don't deserve your bass. Just pick it up sell it on ebay, burn, whatever you shouldn't have it. Or you could become a bassist and learn the real ways... But if you choose none of the above you should continplate suicide

  • THIS IS NOT A POST AGAINST THE MAKER THIS IS A POST AGAINST WOAH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING RETARD>>>My god your all a bunch of fuck wits. It's not that hard to comprehend. I play bass, this isn't difficult. He's just mashed a few styles together, slap with thumb and pop + strummin (Like Victor wooten), classic slap and pop (like Lez Claypool) and a bit of machine gun, that's how you get the triplet effect but your really only hitting 2 notes it's a matter of slap note hammer on note than slap again

  • Sounds great,

    Greetings from israel

  • Jeg kunne da egentlig også være ret interesseret i et par lektioner hvis det er muligt at du kan finde et tidspunkt evt. i sommeren hvor man kan komme forbi og få måske en times undervisning :)?

  • HOT !! three fingers on the right and dont forget the up stroke with the thumb ^^
