bubinga5 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) ive been listening to some great Marcus Miller stuff... i think he deserves his own thread.... whether it be his solo stuff, or his bass playing with other artists.. just wondered if you guys can throw something at me ive not heard yet.... as always some fantastic bass playing... imo this is some of his best [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzOC01Cvhlk[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-rWGHNGdKo[/media] Edited January 19, 2013 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ML94 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 What I love about his playing/soloing is that he can just 'groove'. I prefer Marcus to Victor because his grooves as a sideman as well as soloist are amazing. What I LOVE are the rhythmic elements that he uses whilst slapping, all out percussive. I don't know if anyone can help me but I'm looking for his bass line to one of his solo works. It is a very melodic 'head' but I can not remmeber the name , only can hum it !

There will be plenty of folk along with some great stuff, I am sure of that. Garry Edited January 19, 2013 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see "Friends & Strangers" on this thread - it used to be the theme tune to the Robbie Vincent show (can't remember which radio station). This was in the days before I even thought about playing bass - that fretless part is outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doddy Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 http://youtu.be/C7qCaCcfjXg http://youtu.be/vgiDcJi534Y The difference between a player like Marcus and a player like Wooten is the fact that Marcus spent a decade as one of the top NY studio guys playing everything from jingles to film/tv scores to major pop hits,and it shows in his playing.
