Stomp - Brothers Johnson - bass play along

[@bikesandtech]

We lost Louis Johnson yesterday, but great bass players like you will keep his music alive forever. Thank you for covering this great song.

[@spindola245]

I never get tired of watching this video. I've been viewing it since 2010 and I watch it at least once a week. The artistry and dedication are almost spiritual.

I just found it this week and have already listened about 20 times. Best cover version posted to YT .

[@JerryLee..]

I have seen this about 8 years ago so and here i am again. Still as awesome as when I heard it for the first time.

[@44Waldemar]

without doubt the best bass cover of the internet.

[@rodneyparker5313]

I typically don't like any covers. However, in this video you can actually hear the melodic genius of Louis Johnson. The bass line is a separate song unto itself. Brilliant. And executed well. A good bass drives the track just slightly ahead of the band. Well don.

[@karydickens7957]

Damn man... My ears are very happy! outstanding!

[@sandrasanders706]

Absolutely Awesome..Louis Johnson would be proud..you rock!!!

[@keedygoatley4575]

I like this brother , he's definitely an awesome bass player but what sets him apart is the precisness of keeping it as close to the original as possible ....bravo my brother for keeping 100%

I’ve always really like MarloweDK. He is so very talented and I’ve learned some serious licks from him over the years. He also cracks me up with that deadpan look into the camera. Especially at 3:15 when he goes from serious slapping and plucking and dunking and looks back into the camera calm and collected. 😂 I love this guy. He teaches me and makes me fall on the floor laughing at the same time. Be well MarloweDK 😂

[@JonieOnBass]

The break down... Goodness gracious...

Lol, pretty sure he was there.

[@howardmichael59]

Nice job...When my buddies and I heard this tune for the first time we all ran out to buy cheap department store basses and spent the whole summer in the garage learning to play this jam. 34 years later I don't know where those guys are now, but if they heard your cover the summer in that garage would come to mind....THANKS..funk on

That was ri-dic-u-lous... Killer job, one of my favorite songs!

[@mixedupjo]

I don't play an instrument. I just watch other people do it and judge them. This is the bass player's final exam and I've watched COUNTLESS bassists do this for the past decade or so. This continues to be my favorite.

@@Goodfood-ig1xe your haterism is showing

[@Goodfood-ig1xe]

@@SupremeNerd Nah bruh...we're all critics of cover vids dude and hating has nothing to do with his true imperfection in the last 3 seconds of this cover. Take away the background music through out the WHOLE cover from the beginning to the end. Just the title alone of the cover and his true unfiltered/organic performance, would've made a true statement. But hiding behind all of the, same volume level background music is, quite deceiving to the naked ear. But then exposing himself at the very last critical adlibing 3 seconds of his true performance. Now... give this dude a re-make of this cover with a very low background music volume or no music playing in the background at all, would expose his true talent you me and all the other critical viewers/listener is yearning for. This cover vid doesn't do anything for me. Practice, just makes better. Scope or Dr. Tichenors, choose the truth. Just saying...

MarloweDK you are the best bass player on youtube...I'm a person from the 70's and I know if the person has it or not...you have it man...sound just like Louis!

[@carnerocastro]

He's top, no doubt. But search "belgabass", he's amazing too! Probably even better...

[@questube45]

He almost has it. He is NOT relaxed!!! It shows in his playing. Listen to the last two bars. Him playing without the track!!! Good effort though!!!

[@justinscoutmode]

Que45 - He has it ALL. I would say you are the one "NOT Relaxed" and somewhat uptight. What that learning curve is more difficult that you thought? Close you eyes or open them either way you gain....

I was thinking - hey I could do that but then at 2:44 minutes you shattered my illusion. No way I could slap like that man. Brilliant.

[@peterbean]

Dear Marlowe, I bought a bass guitar after 20 years and started playing again, all because of you. Yes, you have cost me money and my kids think I am going in to mid life crisis, but, heck, its fun, and I have missed it soo much. I like to thank you so very much for being one of the most inspiring and honest artists on youtube without getting spoiled. A true musician. Please continue posting your valuable lessons for all to learn (even relearn- for oldies like me)
