Best Glide cover ever!

[@colinbradford2671]

Superb!

[@garyflies]

I've heard people say that funk isn't about what you play, its about what you don't play. This is a perfect example with all the little pauses, not over playing and coming back in perfectly on the beat

[@zoneseven1222]

I'm a bassist and I happen to love Nate Phillips and Pleasure. Let me just say that THIS is, by far, the absolute BEST VERSION of someone playing that legendary bass line. The notes, nuances and fills are so perfect that it's almost as if the record is playing and you're just pantomiming. However, for those of us with exceptional ears (and eyes), it is obvious that you truly are playing this incredible song and that you are beyond exceptional at it. Kudos, Brother.

[@MarcelStranis]

Those are incredibly kind words. Thank you so much for taking the time to write. It is much appreciated. All the best to you sir!

That's The First Tutorial That I Have Seen on This Song, Where Every Part of The Song Is Played. Well Done Sir, and Thank You! 👍👍👍

[@mistaboogy44]

I love how most people try to go ham on the 4th bar of the chorus but this shows why less is more. Very tastefully done

[@whatsitwhosit]

Holy crap..... well sir, congratulations.... that was spot on!

[@CommishNflpro]

Impressive, most Impressive 👏

[@garyalford5939]

Boy you nice on that bass…..👍🏾

[@MarcG7424]

I've heard other covers of this Nate Phillips Masterpiece and for some unknown reason the bassist playing somehow believe putting their own spin on it by playing when they really shouldn't will make it better when it REALLY doesn't as the saying goes don't mess with perfection and you didn't I appreciate that and this is the best bass cover I've heard to date thanks again

[@shadorai]

my dream song to play on bass one day you played it great man

[@geminiguy2001]

I'm impressed. You make one of the best bass lines in the history of the electric bass, look easy.

[@MarcelStranis]

Thank you!

[@squadron69]

I’ve seen lots of people play this line (try to play this line), but this is in my view quite exceptional. He even brought in a very subtle variation part way through which blended in perfectly. I can’t believe this hasn’t had more views.

[@tomrees4565]

Bags of feel, effortless technique, rock on brother 🤙🏽

[@MarcelStranis]

Thanks so much brother

[@gabrielalbo6911]

That's exactly what I came here to comment: looks so effortless one could think it's easy. Jaw dropping technique.

[@omnisupreme6680]

Tight and right, well played also subscribed.

[@MarcelStranis]

Thank you friend

[@williammitchell6921]

Perfect!

[@vonpilcher3900]

I have a 1977 bass just like that. 1977 was a great year! Great cover of this timeless funk song. Thanks for sharing.

[@MarcelStranis]

Thanks for your comment. I actually bought the bass a few days before making this video. Soon after I got it home, Pleasure's Glide popped into my head because I realised the slap tone sounded identical! Thus I decided to make it my first recording with this bass. It seems likely that the original recording was using a 1977 J bass too. Bass built in 1977, Glide released in 1979; go figure 😎

[@chris-mannytabbada-aragon7173]

@@MarcelStranis This reminds me of my 78 natural j-bass. Sadly I had to sell it during the 2008 downturn. Fantastic sound.

[@onestarnus8657]

Sweet!

[@questelohim...]

That's a bad man on that bass son💯!! that Fender Jazz is not letting him down either!!🔥

[@madtiger111]

You are a funk master.

[@RitchieRosson]

Perfect! Brilliant playing Marcel.

[@MarcelStranis]

Thank you!

[@88hillel]

that bass line Les Claypool played in 2009...right before Master of Puppets :D

[@PascalConsoli]

yeah!

[@paulflanagan5395]

NOTE 4 NOTE, THE ORIGINAL IS THE ONLY WAY 2 PERFORM THIS CUT DUE 2 THE FACT THAT NOTHING WAS LEFT 2 CHANCE, JUST LEARN IT & GLIDE, THIS GUY IS A SERIOUS BASS PLAYER & KNOWS THAT THIS RECORDED TAKE IS THE ONLY WAY 2 GET LOOSE

[@robertjennings7895]

Who the hell are you???? You should be famous!!!!!!

[@MarcelStranis]

Lol! Thanks very much, I appreciate the sentimemt 😊

[@RobertoMatiz123]

Puts my cover to shame

[@DTAY45]

Do you use flat wounds or round wounds?

[@MarcelStranis]

Rounds

[@DTAY45]

i’m back here a year later, this cover is just too good

[@michaelrucker1262]

I wish u didn't play along with the actual recording because it's hard to distinguish your playing from the record

[@henryfreeman7748]

I agree, it's a little difficult to tell between recording and cover

[@louistescum2018]

Honestly, this is one of the better versions I've heard so far. You are much appreciated Sir! The tone on that '77 is awesome.

[@MarcelStranis]

Thanks very much!

[@PhuckHue2]

You almost got it except one wrong note. During the verse the bass not is C# not C. I am the bass master

[@MarcelStranis]

Nah. It's definitely C.

[@PhuckHue2]

@@MarcelStranis Nope

[@DavieDrum98]

PhuckHue2 “I am the bass master” lmao where’s your cover of every song in existence then?

[@johnruffin3291]

You have to be joking right. If not then you just wanted to write something and didn’t know what to write so you wrote that crap
