Amazing Slap Bass! - Power (Marcus Miller) Main Riff Tutorial

[@deldavis2723]

Most of my free time is spent trying to play les and marcus Miller songs. Great job .

[@theluckymanfrom]

Very nice tutorial on this technique. Thanks Mark. I'm going through one of your slap courses and really enjoy it. It's challenging and that's what I like about it. All the best!

[@ethanlocke3604]

More Marcus lines to break down? Detroit and Blast are probably my other two favorites of his songs and either one would be great

[@thomaswise7788]

I second that motion. My favorites too.

Music Peace Love ?

[@efrainreyes4155]

Yes please!!

[@brianorville5053]

Finally! A correct version of this song is coming. Thank you for what you're doing here!

[@milocl529]

You are awesome teacher !!! Greetings from chile!!!

[@milocl529]

Could you teach "U can't hold no groove" by Victor Wooten or "American life" by primus???

[@TRBenjiSwiss]

rip he hearted but he never did it

[@carlogarneri7873]

American life is a lot easier than it seems. It's perfect to coordinate hammers while strumming and keeping a groove. The other easy masterpieces to study from him I thinks it's Laquer Head. Those songs are gold at the beginning for every groove machine wannabe that wanna sing too. I really love Les but Wooten and Miller are a step over him. I'm not blaming him, he's my hero.

[@TeaTheSecond]

Finally a good explanasion

[@jorgwilmink2671]

Happy new year from Germany , it's time to thank you for all your great lessons. I practice them now for a year to become a better Bass-Player in slapping . It's really successfull. Greetings, Jörg Wilmink

[@bassbella]

you have power my elbow to start slapping the bass ,this riff is impressive .i cant imagine my self playing it . thanks boss

[@_troq]

Man, your licks breakdowns are the best! Thank you a lot

[@JoaoFelipeP]

very very nice tutorial! Thanks for this

[@rodrymorales5520]

Second part of this song would be nice, i need to finish this at this point. Thx for the video

[@benjaminrackleyii1671]

As always, excellent tutorial! If you could break down MM's "Scoop" the bass community would be forever in your debt.

[@vlobster7660]

man what a glorious sound off that bass!!!.I;m still trying to digest last week's Tommy The Cat.....this is more bass gold to help my furlough boredom!.Thanks Mark!

[@waynephilbert]

Nice work and thanks for the assist. I've been loving this track since it came out, and never thought I might be able to play it. Starting to get the feel of this riff now. Just have to master the other 3 and a half minutes!

[@gavin_quirke]

Thanks very much. Big help, cheers

[@rogerrhodes2333]

Impressive. Well played and instructed. Thanks

[@soopahsoopah]

Mark I love your videos, they are fun, informative, and brief. Also blessedly free of clickbait and extended yapping unlike some other prominent UK-based instructors... ahem

[@danmcgrew6975]

I gotta ask...Are you talking about the bald Scott? That dude is good, but I think he takes too long to get to the point lol!!

[@soopahsoopah]

@@danmcgrew6975 Yes. And he is good, no doubt, but at this point his videos are too slickly optimized, almost like infomercials.

[@antoniopizarro7670]

Maaaan. Yes. Thx again!!

[@Airconcleaner]

u r a great teacher sir mark..

[@ljgarrison6910]

Always with great content, you are a beast of a player.

[@isnowzz9355]

This was very helpful

[@amirbechor3768]

Thanks for the video! My fav Marcus Miller track has to be Blast Would love to see you break it down!

[@anthonyholland2669]

Sandstorm and the solo from foundation and empire by level 42 would be great to see in a future video - I really enjoy these videos

[@ramzahnY]

Thank you.

[@slaker199]

Detroit please!!! Thank you for doing what you do. Really comprehensive

[@northhallbabe13]

THANK YOUUUUUU YOU ARE A GOD I WORSHIP YOU!!!!!

[@brianstephenson984]

dude, you're amazing! thank you and SO MUCH love to you brother!

[@gregapoljsak]

This is pure gold!

[@vishnuteja2288]

Yes FINALLY

[@nickgivent3157]

Brilliant

[@giuseppeferraro2010]

Amazing video thank you very much! Please could you make a tutorial for I’ll be there of Marcus Miller? It would be awesome also because nobody has published one on KZbin yet. Thanks again!

[@cliftoncoles9710]

Great demo! Could you cover Victor Wooten’s dual fret playing technique?

[@TheJoeybear69]

Blast off of the Marcus album

[@kaiz4237]

Is it possible for more cliff burton lessons in the future? Great video btw!!

[@graz091]

Amazing mate...

[@gernotmueller64]

Fantastic Marc! Could you show us as well Pluck from Marcus?

[@shankalanka]

PLEASE do make a tutorial of Marcus Miller´s " Infatuation". the main riff. i love the lessons you do. you are good at break it down in a simple way,love it.thx again. peace christopher sri lanka/denmark

[@ScuffyTheDog]

Great explaination. The only part that is not 100% clear for me is the two consecutive slaps on the B (E string) rigt after the double thumb run. It feels way more natural (imho) to end the run with double thumb also on the E string, followed by a slapped ghost note. Even you played the riff that way during the video at 06:05 .

[@zadokmotorfreight2423]

That bass has has such a cool, crisp, funky sound! (I'm pretty sure the bassist has nothing to do with it Lol!)

[@shameonlemon4098]

Hi! I couldnt thank you enough! Please dont stop doing these, or any video really, you it everytime

[@djchristmas5526]

I want to see you break down Marcus Miller I’ll be there

[@LeoNovel]

Ooooooo yeah!!!! Marcus F'ing Miller!!!

[@davidescamilla8577]

Please do a breakdown of Detroit!!

[@vladlipovsky2915]

Hi Mark. Thanks a lot! Detroit would be great!

[@ErnieLeblanc]

Damn Great Bassist!!🎯💯💥💯🎯

[@Martroid]

Mean as🤘👽🤘

[@shimulshimul8933]

Love u sir

[@JamesDavisakaRemguy]

DUDE! You can PLAY!!! That was the best cover of Marcus I've ever heard, Probably him, too. We're so caught up with/impressed by what a great pedagogue you are (now people are calling the authorities to report you as a sex offender, Sorry, not sorry. 😈). Perhaps that is not the word I was looking for. You are a superb bass coach and guide, you have an easy, natural delivery and always find ways of everything seem simple and attainable. But man, I forgot just how good of a musician you are. Damn son, are you in a band? Do you do session work?

[@talkingbasslessons]

Thanks. These days I spend all my time on Talkingbass. It's a 24/7 job because I do everything from web design to course design and creation, marketing, the youtube stuff and much more. But prior to this I was a professional musician for a long time doing any gig that came my way from sideman work to theatre work, cruises, jazz gigs etc. I began playing in 1990 when I was 15 so I've been playing a while. The stuff on here is usually fairly easy to be honest. It just looks hard if you're technique isn't up to it. But most professional players I know would find all of this stuff laughably simple to be honest.

[@molovesmusic8072]

HELLO 👋🏿 I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS I'D LIKE TO SEE THE DAVE MATTHEW'S #41 BASS SOLO DONE BY VICTOR WOOTEN

[@paulbaker662]

Awesome! Just wondering if it would even be possible to hit all those notes without slapping, popping, and double-thumbing? Could you play the notes with a pick, or the fingers, or the thumb and fingers? And what would that sound like?

[@NeoBalkanacMan]

Sure, you can see the transcription. Riff is actually really straight forward, it can easily be played finger style but it would sound nothing like in the track...

[@chrishowe1159]

Please teach Marcus Miller Detroit!! TIA!!

[@M43STR0_dnb]

Please show us his arrangement of teen town! Trying to slap it is really confusing.

[@ozeiaseugeniodasilva2237]

Muito bem explicado top d maís

[@daphneprathiba3694]

can you breakdown blast by marcus miller

[@ofaineofaine3850]

pls can you break down SCOOP thanks

[@danmcgrew6975]

Hi, Mark. Can you do a lesson on “Rio Funk” by Marcus Miller?

[@bassbeginner82]

I love U thanks bro

[@StingrayJay302]

Mr. Clean has a super groovy line in the middle starting at 3:10

[@mikebatt2651]

Hi Mark I’m new to slapping and wonder how you get that tone. Is it all just the way you strike the strings or is there more to it (Ed settings, etc)? Thanks

[@mikebatt2651]

eq settings

[@talkingbasslessons]

This is pretty much direct. Flat EQ on the bass direct to desk. Added a bit of amp simulation after, but again, flat EQ.

[@justinbowerman6043]

This bit from the beginning of "blast" that sounds like a sitar

[@emmanueljames1460]

Detroit whole song tutorial pleaseee

[@jordanchetty5687]

Hi Mark Can you do Marcus Miller Panther

[@YanDoroshenko]

Roon foo Coovah is my favorite song.

[@Iehehfiv9ejwi]

can you please do classical thump victor wooten

[@damank.k3835]

Me:Thank you Brother You:What can I say except you're welcome.

[@callumcrymble2668]

Can you please do The Lesson by Victor Wooten?

[@karansuryawanshipaontasahib]

Super sir M for Marcus and M for you.....

[@robertwellsrawbass1249]

Could you do the awakening les clay pool solo

[@Alighieri018]

Could we have the rest of the song? I’m trying to audition with it for something but I need the breakdown!

[@benlewis9412]

late to the party here, but i would love some help with Blast. :)

[@charlescowan6121]

Detroit!!

[@rohanroka4275]

Pls do the What is hip Marcus Miller version

[@nikodemus6449]

Thanks, this was a great lesson ! Since you were asking, why not make it ‚Bruce Lee‘ next time 😊?

[@kazerdira4704]

What is the hip it will be like two bassist ( rocco prestia and marcus miller ) in sametime

[@silverdroid]

Why didn’t you do this video with your Marcus Fender?!?!?

[@killmeorikillyou1]

That fast piece used to be such a bitch for me. The only way to make it sound clean is to sit down and practice with the metronome for a while. I took me almost a week of practice to play it clean like on the record

[@lloydnicholson5039]

What’s the name of the bass you’re playing?

[@SquashDaBeef]

Five people give this the thumbs down because that's how they slap so can't play this

[@modestfreak87]

One of the best comments ever lol and it’s gotten no love!

[@SquashDaBeef]

@@modestfreak87 damn man that IS a great comment lol

[@russianbear6384]

What gauge strings do you use?

[@talkingbasslessons]

Regular gauge DR Hibeams. 45 to 105

[@SquashDaBeef]

Scoop!

[@bbill5593]

Detroit Detroit by Marcus Miller break it down

[@eismaj6]

Funk joint, rampage, scoop, cousin john

[@ianharris4599]

Great lesson mark, I’m trying with the old slap technique but I’m a pic player at heart and would love a breakdown of the bass solo in Genetix by the Stranglers if there’s any chance? 😄👍

[@NeoBalkanacMan]

Not using your MM Fender? Why ? :(

[@talkingbasslessons]

Out of commission at the moment.

[@gidbo268]

damn varys the spider can really play

[@cacaumorais6283]

Muito Bom

[@bbill5593]

Can you play with a five string bass songs

[@bassmode721]

where is the rest

[@Dimka267]

Taping a plectrum to the thumb might work as a nail :-D

[@dslapster64]

Difficult to see you do this riff without the Marcus bass itself. Great job tho.

[@stevenherrera4170]
