This guy is a force of nature. He plays better all the time and looks twenty years younger than he really is. Go Marcus.
I saw Marcus at a live clinic about 15 years ago when I played guitar for the most part. A buddy of mine was a bass player and convinced me to go with him. No joke - I went to my apartment after the clinic, grabbed my guitar, traded it for a bass at Guitar Center and have never looked back! Marcus is the man!
Props to the keyboard and drummer too. They laid it down on command.
I think what makes Marcus Miller great is that he has been a student of Music throughout his career, learning from other artists he worked with. He is a real musician and humble about his craft.
This video and others featuring Marcus Miller need to become a collection at the Smithsonian, they're such a deep, precious wellspring of musical wisdom, experience and sheer humanity.
I was sooooo fortunate to have been there for this great master class, as I have been at every Bass Boot Camp that Gerald (and Roxanne) Veasley have put on but one in the last 13 years. Marcus Miller is an absolute treasure!
Can’t wait till Marcus writes an autobiography and records the audio version. He should do it in front of a live audience. His stories are hilarious and his comedic timing, impeccable
Marcus Miller is the best.
Everything about him is awesome- his stories, enthusiasm, wisdom, teaching, and his playing.
He just loves music and everything about it, and you can feel and hear it in his talks and playing.
Can’t say enough about MM.
Marvellous bass player (musician) & a wonderful human being. I could listen to him talk all day long. Such an illustrious career and yet so so humble. 🙏🏻 Thanks for posting this video.
Marcus has been a first-call bassist not only because of his immense talent, skill, and experience, he is a very cool person and always serves the song, not himself!!! Even though he has PHENOMENAL CHOPS, he's all about the groove!!! He dropped some serious knowledge and advice!
The drummer and pianist adapted quickly to the style. They've got "Experienced Musician" written all over them. It was impressive the way the drummer only adjusted the hi-hat and snare to match the style Marcus was playing and then didn't miss a beat or the fills. Same for the pianist. Him being able to play soft chords and little accent notes as Marcus really dropped off (around 40mins) and still being in the right key was really impressive
They were all feeling it and using dynamics as pro musicians that's what we do and how we create a groove or vibe even if we've never met or played with each other before. But yeah no doubt these guys are a prime example of seasoned professional hired guns (obviously Marcus included as a career side man before he had the credits to do his own thing) who know how to play to the music and support as opposed to showing off their own creativity as the highlight of the music and making the music all about them (easy to do in my opinion any closet musician can make great music on their own... playing as a unit and leaving the other musicians the appropriate space and tone is an art in itself) but yeah...playing for miles Davis at that young of an age (19 or 20?)... wow. And I feel.like he already got his ass kicked and paid his dues before that..miles pretty much let him do his own thing and make his own groove. I bet it was more work for him doing studio work for singers and musicians/bands that he didn't know or hadn't heard before. That's the real deal journey to being a complete musician, being able to hear someone's music and hear and understand what your instrument needs to do to support the music not necessarily what you think is cool or is going to impress musicians of the same instrument or make you stand out. The music is a higher power than any one musican (subjectively) can obtain on their own and requires more than one musican to conjure the "magic" when the music is really happening. Basically chemistry. Doesn't have to be the greatest musicians on their own to make the best music. To that point the greatest musicians in the world could make the worst music in the world if they're not on the same page and don't have chemistry. Again it's a unit or group effort and you're only as good as the musicians you're playing with and everybody has to listen to each other and give each other the proper space or support when appropriate. It's all in what you're going for I guess. Some people like the most dissonant toned music or off rhythm odd time signature music (that's actually a whole different subject and off topic) but when two instruments are playing in the same register or their frequencies are too close (at least for us in the bass clef) it creates a noid (when two same notes in the same octave actually cancel each other and is unheard by the human ear, why I'm picky about keyboard players and how they use their left hand and play as a unit as opposed to playing solo pieces where they have all the sonic space to do whatever they please) the result is mud or clashing frequencies that our ears don't perceive musically
UNBELIEVABLE had no idea he is that good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His inside ghost rhythms are badass. I love that even when he goes off and solos a little he never looses sight of the bottom end responsibilities
These three are jamming together. But, they make it seem like they have been playing together for a long time. Fantastic!
Props to the rhythm section for hangin there with all those licks.
I agree with you, Alan Holford! Difficult to believe that Marcus Miller is 62 years "young!"😃 He's made quite the brand and career for himself as he's had the rare ability to have had tremendous success not only as a consummate musician, composer, and producer but also businessman. He's been able.to balance art and commerce--a very delicate pairing. I had the pleasaure of watching him perform live a few years ago and I could tell that he's just as engaging and down to earth on stage as he is in the copious interviews he's given that are shown here on UA-cam!🙂 Thanks for your great comment. Blessings to you, Marcus Miller, and all!
I could listen to people improvising on the bass, drums and keyboard all day and not get tired of it.
The perfect combo of groove, melody and harmony with just 3 instruments. The bass is far more versatile than people give it credit for.
I went to Marcus’s clinic back in -04 and I always learn so much from him about music! Poogie and Bernard Wright played on that clinic!
When i was 17 years old in 1987, i used to say to all my friends , marcus miller is one of the best bass player and musicinan ...and my friends use d to laugh at me ....😅😔, But i knew inside my soul ( if i have one) , that my heart had crossed somethin .....
The wisdom contained within this is immeasurable. Thanks so much for sharing!
17:40 - 17:51 Gold! We say 'if you can't play it on time, don't play it'.
An hour well spent on Christmas day, taking lessons from the great Marcu Miller. Thank Marcus! I'm not a bass player, but I'm learning to play the acoustic guitar. Awesome!
I’ve always loved his tone.
Can’t believe the drummer’s eyes locked in with the bass like there’s no tomorrow. 😂 nope I’m not taking my eyes off of that guy!
Marcus Miller, the bass player. I love his playing style and emotional experience, expression on tunes.
Absolutely Made my Day! Love how tight you all are. I'm a keyboard player and picking up the bass for the first time. So inspired now. Thank you amazingly talented tight, AND handsome men!
That drummer. Man!
You know that's a legend, makes it look easy
Impressive how quick the piano payer and drummer were reacting to marcus "commands".
Sprinter 999 they are both serious vets in the biz
Beyond talent!!
Es simplemente, espectacular lo que hace con el bajo eléctrico. Un genio de esos que sólo nacen una vez en la vida. Gracias Bass BootCamp.
Marcus is an absolute legend!
Absolute musical masterclass
What an amazing experience. So much wisdom about what it's all about to be a great musician. Plus, he's a great raconteur, évidement !

Marcus Miller and these musicians are HOT. A tour de force in bass education.
#1@1000%
What's different you usually don't see him playing a lot with rosewood necks always maple 🎸👀🔥
As always, Marcus delivers. This may be my ears, but I miss that EBS rig vs the MB 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Jameson didn't play on all of the J5's records.... definitely Darling Dear and a few more.But in actuality The gentleman who Marcus alluded to by the name of Wilton Felder, played on I Want you Back,ABC, STOP THE YOU SAVE.

Marcus che suona Donna Lee ❤️

Somehow the title Master Class seems to fall short when it's applied to Marcus Miller
Talk about putting some STANK on it 😮PHEW"
Marcus, Larry Graham, Louis Thunder Thumbs Johnson as far as thumping and popping hands down.
What tune does does Marcus play at 36:00 minutes?
14:23 anybody know what song this is??
46:43
Fender?
Damn!!!!!! This is righteous!!
ここまで違うとね？機材の重要性は考え深い❗️

A Fender Jazz Bass.
@@mitchwild8238 Some kind of deluxe (active electronics) Fender jazz bass
Looks like late 66 or 67 fender jazz bass w/Matching headstock custom color Black with lollipop machine heads with preamp,anything he plays gonna sound killin!
47:15 song name?
What happened to Miller's tone? Where did it go?
33:08 - 35:16
35:04
its really interesting for Marcus to talk about seeing players as gods and then realizing they're human once you meet people close to them. young people like me now look at players like Marcus and think he's a god haha
Hmmmmm, why won't he play on a MM Bass
Well , time felt fast although it's more than an hour
4:07 and on sounds like something jimi Hendrix would have played if he was a bassist lol. Wow
Marcus the 🐐, I think he finally hit a wrong note at 1:30 😅.
listen closely to his albums ;)
it's ok you just play wrong notes wright and also Repetition Legitimizes
Take off his fretboard he doesn't needs it go legend
2:59 - Is that a Genesis bar in there? ua-cam.com/video/Vzyn60Zns-E/v-deo.html
What!, not a Sire bass in sight....
On est tous ok grand bassiste. Mais je m'ennui, en toutes ces années il fait parti de ces musiciens qui n'ont pas su ou eu la curiosité d'explorer leur instruments, sa joue basique. Ecoutez PEPE BAO tout est dit, si vous ne connaissez pas, ce qui est largement possible! écoutez sa Masterclass Mousiké la Laguna
Flea plays Piano very well. You see this in his evolution how he plays bass now and maybe 20 years ago.
