White Christmas on Solo Bass is BRUTALLY Hard
That snow tho.
Also I have a cold, which doesn't help at all. But hopefully you enjoy my take on how to make White Christmas as difficult as possible. I actually learnt a harmonic techinque just to play this song, which is cool
I'm Mark Gunner, a singer-songwriter from the south of England, writing and playing on the solo acoustic bass. I've been developing this technique for a long time, and I hope you enjoy it!

Hello again! It feels like a long time! Just getting myself back into the new rythm, this is a song called All That We Find. I didn't want to overthink it, so I basically just sat down and wrote words until I had enough for a song. It's fun, because I can draw conclusions about what I'm singing about, but really I just wrote whatever sounded fun. I hope you enjoy! I'm Mark Gunner, a singer-song...

Looks fun wheres part 2
Thanks! Ahh, its around here somewhere. There's also a full video of it in the Mark's Weekly Nonsense playlist
Nice!
Nice job man!!!! Sounds great and love the vid. How did you shoot this cool scene?
Thank you! Yeah this is arguably the most technical song I've done on here, although there are a few contenders. I shot it on a green screen and placed the keyed videos in a level on Unreal Engine. I keep tinkering and improving the set up, but I'm not 100% sure if its proving worth the time. It adds a painful amount go the render time!
Brilliant! Well done, Mark.
Thank you!
Mark, this is awesome. Kudos to you, that looks super challenging!!!
Thanks! Yeah, finding the harmonics with the picking hand is horrendously precise while also having no reference like frets to go on. You basically have to practice until they become muscle memory and hope for the best 😂😭
@ well you smashed it pal. Congratulations on an amazing arrangement and performance
@SkinflowerMusic thank you very much!
that's awesome! highly suggest using some chorus and reverb to make the harmonics a little less harsh - lovely singing and really nice chord melody parts. Somewhat reminds me of a arrangement I never finished of Waltz for Debby using this exact technique.
Thank you! That arrangement of yours sounds really interesting
Nice!! 🙂🌲
Thank you! Not as harmonically interesting as what you can do on the fly, but we do our best
So shut up and enjoy the ride 😂. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Honestly! Why the hell do you not go to a talent show! You need more views! You are really talented, not in tennis anymore (joking) but this is something else! Hugs Norbs 🤪
Thank you Norbert! I tried the Voice once many years ago, and it was an ordeal. I might be better positioned to try again now, so maybe I'll sign up to something at some point
1:43 i kinda lost from here 🌼🍃💮💫
In like a good way or a bad way?
I can relate to it lol Too peaceful song loved it ❤❤❤❤
Great! I hope you found it encouraging! And thanks
Gorgeous! I love the accompanying symphony. Never seen a green screen used with unreal engine as the backdrop for a music video!
Thank you! Yeah it seems like I find it difficult to add instrumentation to a song without it including a brass section, for some reason! I just unreal engine really fun to play around in, so I'm still improving
What a talented player 👏
Look who's talking!
Loved it
Thank you!
so cool!
Thanks 😁
Outstanding video! Lovely song.
Thank you very much!
Nice 🙂👍
Thank you!
This is the cover i didnt know i needed but i did
Happy to serve, whether you asked for it or not!
Great work, Mark. Missing out on tennis matches was not many but more memorable :). You should go to any talent shows to boost your view and followers group! Compliment: My miss is English, which is not on top, but she said you are singing super clear and really nice songs! That is something to hear, believe me. The jumper is great, by the way. Love from Greenwich!
Thank you Norbert! Great to hear from you!
Terrific song! Nice video, too.
Thank you very much!
Great work dude for the consistency. Ngl feels like something was missing in this .
Mm, interesting! Some of the audio recording came out a little lacking, in spite of my fixing. I think there's elements of cinematography which I'm still figuring out as well, but we'll get there
LOL I loved this! The humor is effortless. Great variety!
Thanks! ☺️
Ha Steven already commented before me. We have been listening to your videos while working and you are crazy talented. I have to say your version of this song is the first time I've heard this song so I went and listened to the original and it just doesn't hit the same as your version. Don't get me wrong! Its good regardless, but your version just HITS so well!
Thank you! It was a surprise to me to find a Taylor Swift song I could relate to, but I was leaving London after 10 years, so it was pretty real for me singing this. Thank you both!
I've never heard someone use harmonics as melody as well as you
There are people who can hit the harmonics more cleanly than me for sure, but they always seem to be deeep in jazz, so get a bit lost in the music theory to make something "nice" imo. And thank you!
You are a dangerous man - can write, play and sing. Beware! :)
I'm coming! I'll get there eventually...
Holy shit this is amazing!
Thank you!
What a technical masterpiece of a song. MORE!
Your wish, is my command!
Its been a long time since I've been surprised to find someone playing music in such a unique way. Please keep posting!
Thank you! Don't worry I will!
I'm dying to know - what would you call this technique? It looks like your sweep picking full chord harmonics at times while letting the root note ring out. Its blowing my mind how gorgeous the effect is. Are you using an open tuning of some sort? So many questions!
Thanks! To be honest, I don't have a name for it yet, but I agree I think it sounds really cool. Yeah it's full-blown pick-sweeping, but unlike guitar, using harmonics lets the 1 bass note hold and the harmonics swirls around on top. It's just standard tuning, although using a 5-string helps with the number of available chords. Feel free to ask questions!
You are guaranteed to blow up on youtube one day
The grind is real, but we'll get there 👊
It continuously blows my mind you don't have 10,000x subscribers and a freaking record deal. Brilliant work.
😁 thank you!
I'll never be able to give enough compliments to your musical abilities. Very impressive and pretty song and voice!
Thank you so much! That's really good of you!
Reminds me of something Amanda Palmer might've written, and that's not a bad tihng. Enjoyed that, thanks Mark.
Thank you! I'll look her up!
Really nice playing!
Thank you very much! Glad you like it!
Damn, this is so natural. Loved it
Thanks! Certain amount of experimentation happened in this video, so I'm glad if it works
I love listening to you singing and playing that bass its so soothing! Keep Grinding!
Thank you! Don't worry, I will!
Nice song. Great video.
Thanks! I'll be honest, his writing style is completely different to mine, so it was really interesting doing one of his songs.
Mrs. Cheshire should've done better. 🤣
I know! I felt conned!
Big fan of a new home for the nonsense! Future where fans can vote on upcoming nonsenses?? 👀👀👀 long live the Man, the Music & the Madness !
The first of the Brave New Nonsense is now uploaded on my Nonsense YT channel! Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/mI17UrNf1zA/v-deo.html
It is great that the work 'weekly nonsense' is done by only person and I love 'Here Again'. BTW your voice really deep..
Thank you! It felt like more than one persons work when I was making it! I'm really glad you like my content
Hi person reading this comment, what is your favourite colour?
It's either orange or green, so to play it safe I try and make a nice colours scheme out of them
The second channel is a great idea......I thoroughly enjoyed the weekly nonsense. Best of luck with setting it all up and hope things can settle down around you. :)
Thank you! Yeah it was frustrating for me, because a lot of people did seem to enjoy it, but it never seemed to gain any momentum. Let's see what happens this time...
new to the show, great stuff
Thanks! I hope you enjoy!
That was great! You should consider fleshing this out into sometime.
Thanks! I did release a single of it a while ago now, but I'm waaaay better at music production than I was then, so I don't like the sound of it so much
Stop asking me how you should make your videos! It's YOUR channel, it's YOUR video, YOU have to get real and start making decisions yourself instead of asking your audience.
To be honest, I wasn't asking you how to do it. I was telling you how I'm going to do it, and then encouraged you to engage to help feed the algorithm, which... Well, it worked, I suppose...
algorithm food
nomnomnomnom
Hoping to feed the algorithm enough that it can feed me 👍
@FlorissMusic nomnomnomnom "this is really good! ❤️🔥❤️" nomnomnom
Is this an original song? It’s great! 🎸
Yes it is! Thank you! I was definitely going through a relaxing phase at this point
Sweet! Commenting here for the algorithm 😂 I think the second channel idea is spot on Mark!
Thank you! Please Feed The Algorithm. Yeah I hope it works. I lived doing it, but it was a lot of work, so I hope it picks up a bit more there
I’m sure you’ll find a method and a pattern that works for you! Meanwhile, my questions are on more mundane matters like do you still live vaguely in the area that I do (Wilts & Gloucestershire borders) and how did you get on at Minchinhampton Folk Club the other week? Sorry that I didn’t manage to get there the same week you did!
Thank you! Yeah it was really nice! I now have a calendar including all the folk nights I've been able to find in the area, and I intend to go to all of them while I'm here! I'll probably go again this coming week or the week after
