Marcus Miller Bass Clinic | Live from Thomann

[@Dracu13]

My dude Simon killing it on the drums! awesome !

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Dracu!! Good to see you here mate :) And yeah Simon is an absolute machine haha // Guillaume

[@yohinessblack65]

The drummer is trash 😂

[@ironxmike83]

I could listen to Marcus all day. Play or talk!

[@paulyb-englishmaninhangzho3609]

Spectacular! MM doesn’t play the bass, he plays music, that is always the goal.

[@andrew7taylor]

Marcus is best known for his bass skills. But I've seen him play bass clarinet, keyboards and percussion and he is a virtuoso at all of them!

[@SrTubular]

I'll say it again, Marcus Miller has to be one of the coolest guys around. This video had me smiling all the way.

[@jimwilson7528]

I just found this and how great it was! The smile on Julia's face was the biggest ,brightest I have ever seen from her. It was absolutely wonderful and says it all. Marcus is amazing and soooo gracious. Everyone involved now has a memory they will never forget!

[@Bassic778]

One of the main reasons that Marcus is on so many recordings is because he is a bassist first. Yes, he has ridiculous chops and is a virtuoso, but he supports and enhances the songs that he's playing on.

[@Grafougnolwunderbras]

ridiculous chops, like the ones you tried to have me eat at your latest BBQ?

[@SteveWeltman]

Thank you so much for posting this! Marcus is so humble and soft spoken about his experiences. His playing is legendary and his style is unmistakable but what stuck me the most on this video was you could feel the kindness and gentle spirit that is one of the most amazing musicians. Lots of life lessons in this video for me when I listened carefully. Inspired me to pick up the bass again.

[@alexestrada1788]

Simply stunning. Wonderful work, Mr Miller!

[@martijnlie-hap-po9611]

Julia made me scream and brought tears in my eyes! wow so funky what a vibe! if you read this Julia .. nothing but love!

i Pruda Bass thank you a lot. Niceness indeed mon.

[@clementmpushe5957]

I can watch this all over and over again!!!! Its a real jam in of itself!!!!

[@ameliopompeo5722]

Marcus Miller is an amazing bass player and human being sharing his musical and life experiences. The interaction with other musicians was a joy to watch making everyone feel relaxed to express themselves through their instruments which is the most important part of why we play our chosen instrument. Big thank you to Thomann for putting this great show on.

[@DimyBass]

Waw.. I am really impressed with the drummer! Of course Marcus Miller is my favorite bass player!

I'm sure that it was an amazing experience for Julia to check off her bucket list. She is so talented and Markus is so down to earth. Great Jam session.

[@bensharpe7846]

Absolutely loved this! Simon was killing it on drums and Julia’s playing was awesome with a killer sounding/looking bass! Can we hear more of Julia playing somewhere??

[@adieltm]

I'm not a bassist anymore but right now I wish I stayed on bass. Marcus is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@oscarsantos2608]

You can always go back to bass!

[@adieltm]

@@oscarsantos2608 I moved to guitar because it was readily available at home and eventually fell in love with it.

[@garcitodelascuerdas6417]

The thing with the bass guitar is that it's not much use unless you are playing in a band.

[@kalayah607]

My name is Glenn Plak. Marcus it was a great privilege and honour to meet a great musician like you on the centrale station of Amsterdam today (27-06-2019). Yes the world of music change when you start with Miles. As a Jaz Fusion (& and brazilian Clasic) Amateur Gitaris i admire you. Why? because funk was and is my most beloved mucis styl. And especially when it comes down to Molody! When i hear you Marcus i tarted fall in love with funk & bleus again! Thank you for this wonderful Bass Clinic Live from Thoman. I would like to meat you again on your way to Amsterdam.

[@Mogee512]

Your character comes off thru your playing. That's what many musicians miss today.

[@ocromiun]

52:16 I really like how Julia used the bass like a percusion instrument at this moment. It was amazing. Really great seeing her having fun with a living legend

[@Olivier_Debats]

I had the chance to meet Marcus Miller twice, before and after a concert, once at the Seine Musicale in Paris and once at the Blue Note in New York. How not to be surprised by the fact that this great artist with his worldwide fame and his talent can remain so accessible, attentive and coupled with great kindness? Certainly a great lesson to give to artists whose emerging success goes to their heads ! My choice fell on the Sire U5 short scale, an excellent choice for learning the bass when you are a complete beginner !

[@Blakelysworld358]

That's awesome that he didn't make this exclusive content and was able to get this wisdom especially some of the soundcheck advice.

[@gabrielwalker4411]

Marcus is one of my biggest influences on the bass I've been playing for 10 years and he influenced me to slap hes so cool the man is beast

[@sergey_molchanovsky]

My uncle (sound engineer) presented me Marcus Miller's CD albums (along with other jazz-rock/funk/fusion music) when I was a kid. I listened it but didn't pay too much attention and forgot about him soon. When I started playing bass, I re-discovered Marcus. It was a great surprise for me, that he is still alive and active! Marcus is appeared to be very funny, kind and interesting person and a great musician with its own awesome style.

[@KiwiMC99]

Man, that was sooo good. The 2 young bassists did so well, and it was great to see genuine enjoyment playing with the master. Powerful stuff. Thanks to Marcus and the different teams for putting this together. Love from Australia.

[@digeratadesign]

wow. that was so amazing. the life lessons and musical inspirations from MM.

[@grungebox]

Great video- worth the time totally

[@baseline_hitchshalhoub2686]

i have enjoyed this session so much .I plugged in my bass and jammed with them !Time flew like magic!

[@sarasandoval771]

I have one of his MM U5 short scale basses on order. Can’t wait.

[@piotrmbukowski]

True master of his craft. He does not need to talk about playing. His playing does the talking. It was still very nice to listen to him - it was very interesting.

[@yngve6640]

Marcus little stories from his life is entertaining, and the connection with the people in the room becomes so nice. The jamming with the Thomann crew was cool. It shows how Marcus can both give big scene conserts, and cosy little music bars where he's with the audience close around.

[@pjthomas3973]

Maaan I love Julia! And now I love Marcus Miller.

[@footcandy]

I love Julia's "stink face"!!! She looks like she's having so much fun when she plays!!!

Marcus Miller and Stuart Matthewman are truly the most unsung musicians who ever lived

[@stevenbyrd2371]

Thank you, Thomann, for putting this out there. Earlier this year I had the pleasure of attending a master class given by MM. I even had a chance to chat with him briefly the night before, a few minutes before lots of people knew that he had arrived at the venue. I told him I owned a 5-string M2 by Sire. He congratulated me and offered some advice about the guitar. MM is an absolute genius on the bass & one fine human being!

[@staytoobrenner3982]

Such a humble legend.

[@eddierocksteady5740]

These are things your want to share with your children and there are a lot of them available on KZbin. Can you imagine how generous Marcus Miller is here, giving Lessons that are course lectures. That is the Good thing with the Americans, the freedom to grow. Knowing that the Bigger you learn from what I teach, the better I am understanding what I teach. Am i correct🙄⁉😲

The amount of talent Marcus Miller has is amazing. Simon, your rim shots are fire! Julia, you groover!

[@FrederickTSchurgerDC]

Anyone else notice how infectious those grooves are?!?!? I'm still tapping my toes MINUTES after he stops playing. That might be the most important lesson from watching this clinic that he doesn't even verbalize in his discussion.

Jaco is my G.O.A.T., BUT MAN I love Marcus’ playing, sound, technique..... just STELLAR!!!!✨

[@winwinfield2839]

Music and G.O.A.T = subjective. Arguing here is childish and narrow minded. Miller is my favorite and I don't care who might be better. He has kept himself clean and accomplished more than most

This was entertaining, educational, enlightening, interesting, and incredibly inspiring!!! I actually sat through it non stop!! And for me, my attention span these days, and the length of the video, that is saying a lot!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

[@ytspam1000]

Awesome share, thanks Thomann. Met Marcus 2 years ago after a concert. Such a nice and humble human being, while he's definitely one of the all time greats. Audience could have been more interactive though. I mean, come on: "you know Jaco?" *dead silence*; "you know James Jamerson?" *dead silence* ... btw: Starstruck Julia made my day. She was so nervous, but blended in perfectly right away. :)

[@gabrielwalker4411]

Yes I agree 😁😁

[@charlesdavis8935]

Lolol, yes... watching her and how she couldn't contain her joy and passion...and she shouldn't by the way. But it gave me chills watching her because you can tell it was an unforgettable moment in her life, caught on tape. AND FOR GOOD REASON!! Marcus is a living LEGEND!

[@NamikazeKyuuga]
