Marcus is a musician's musician. Deep thinker and committed to the craft. Much respect.

Marcus is just incredible. He plays the bass in a way most players would never even think they could approach it much less play it. He's refreshingly melodic as well as being able to do lead runs as well as the best GUITAR players out there much less bass players. His style offers a little something for everyone in every genre. His Miles tribute at the end was absolutely beautiful.

The respect for Miles is evident in everything he says, to me that's what makes Marcus such a phenomenal influence in music.

To all those making negative comments you have a lot to learn about the universal language which is music, It is as with all things a matter of your taste however there is no right our wrong or good or bad at this level only what is your taste in what you like to listen to.If your mind is closed your ears will never hear and your eyes will never see, Peace

For people trying to find the studio recording of what he playes at the end; It's called ''Mr Pastorius'' which is included on Marcus' cd called; The Sun Don't Lie. Thumbs up so more YT-ers can find it.

That bass solo totally just blew me away.

Marcus Miller always been the stone cold truth,respect

I like that he is as articulate in his speech as he is playing. thanks .

Marcus Miller is why I play the bass today

Man......Marcus loved Miles. I think it's because of the language that they spoke.....no one else would understand that language except for them two and only them two. It's said but Marcus is just amazing man. 5 stars

very well put,that what sets him apart from any other bass player,aside from his all around versatility on the bass Marcus has an uncanny ability to groove in pocket or soloing and he gets better and better with age, so many bass players young and old try to clone his tone and style but clones are never as good the original, bottom line Marcus is definitely a master in the art of the groove

Marcus is amazing !!! He is one of THE bass players.

Why, because Marcus Miller was born, raised and trained in the birthplace of jazz, soul, funk and R&B, from an early age he was surrounded by the undisputed innovators of these styles of music and his career is evidence of this. His music is everywhere, you can buy a Status KingBass for a premium or a Fender Jazz Marcus Miller for a fraction of the price and they're in almost every decent music shop. I've seen guys on TV in indie bands playing FJMM's - Marcus Miller's influence is much wider!

from the heart...... believe in yourself.....

Marcus Miller is so amazing on the bass

Marcus is definitely in my top 5 bassists and will be there forever. Btw, get a bucn of friends and drink every time Marcus says "you know?", great game :D

Thank you!

Man I love Marcus

This guy is crazy... In jazz music.. :))))

Beautiful rendition of Mr. Pastorius. Fitting tribute to both Jaco and Miles...

Marcus is my favorite bassist

marcus miller !

ohhh man Marcus you make me sad :( I love you M

Very Goooddd!!!!

....you know....you know...you know... the man who holds the interview must be knowing everything !!

I played his bass at guitar center. It felt and sounded sooooo good! Best bass I have ever played! If I could have any bass, it would be the Marcus Miller Jazz bass! I liked it even more than the musicman! I also found that I actually kinda like the P-bass. I dont know why, but I always thought that I would hate it.

Always loved the fact Marcus alway has played down to earth instruments not ranging in the 0000 of dollars

que grande eres Marcus...

mitico marcus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marcus is Bass guitar Father!.. :))

best bassist ever! :D

Mark Twain “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

Looks like Marcus got very emotional at 4:40...that is something!!!!Miles Davis must really mean the world to him.

I am working on getting a Sire v7 Marcus Miller Jazz Bass.

Mr Pastorius!

Che Bravo......

he's the dude

The title is Mr.Pastorius

@SuperTouchFarside Harmonics

YOU KNOW!!

Marcus is the greatest. Since the bass isnt amplified, you hear the note in the front of the tap and in the back of the tap, thus the dissonance. This "crap solo" is "Mr Pastorius" by Miles. Marcus recorded it also. He is the only electric bass soloist bandleader that makes me FEEL. He is the only one to really pull it off. Please since you are an expert on great soloing, you post a solo. Marcus is the Stevie wonder of the bass otherwise. He is one of the best EVER, and the greatest in my book.

@73calabrone In England maybe yeah - outside Europe he's pretty much unknown and this reflects on his current touring schedule. He didn't penetrate the US market simply because he and other British artists who tried to beat the Americans at their own game (jamiroquai included) didn't have the sound needed to succeed in that market. The successful English acts in the US were so because they played on their British identity, the Beatles, the Stones even lesser knowns like Corinne Bailey-Rae

Mr Marcus Miller...Do u have any pointers for gospel bass players such as myself that learned by watching you. would gladly appreciate it

Just 4 strings, and a lot of creativity.

his face at 2.15 is so funny...

if anyone thinks I'm being negative...it is not my intention...what I am really saying is understand the history of playing the instrument not just the contemporary players...I have been a player and a listener since the sixties and it disturbs me that some folks get credit for simply having the talent to recreate (in some manner) that which was already there....jb

I'd like to second that motion.

@ RangerMoose7 he's talking about the gig miles davis played at the isle of wight. @ yoitscayman word, but unfortunaltley he himself got caught up in playing the same music since 20 or 30 years. i'd wish he'd get the energy to get out of his own clishees and do somethig as real and important as he used to...

Does anyone know what concert he was talking about with the rock music?

How did he make that sound at 5:33? Sounds like a rhodes piano almost.

this it the son for jaco"pastorius"!!

Jaco Marcus Jaco Marcus Jaco Marcus IV-I ... Having mentors being a bass player is so fuckin easy ...

hedeman!!!!!!

If Mark King and Level 42 stuck to what they were amazing at - writing and performing good tunes with good and sometimes deep, meaningful lyrics they would certainly get my vote but they killed it completely with what I can only describe as AWFUL attempts to ride the pop charts. As for bass playing, King's and Miller's styles are unique and are equally as valid as each other, they both have their followers but for the greater influence Marcus Miller must take the crown - I'll explain why...

wow...if you had not explained it to me I would not have realized that I was "wrong".....

miles CHOOSED me, hahaha

playing uprights good it will make a better player with finger strength and your position

1 dislike?, any hater!

@73calabrone Level 42 destroyed themselves when they tried to go for the pop limelight, they simply didn't have what it took to be in mainstream pop, they even tried to claw their way back with a few high profile spots but to no avail.

Is he crying at the end? ;(

jp 8000.

@JustinPlaysBass97 you work for fender? hahaha

@hiphopsucks96 nah I dont. Haha

"you know" nooo i don't fucking know i suck playing bass xD

@SuperTouchFarside Its called "False Harmonics".... KZread it and you will see.... Not hard at all

What I say?

There are a lot of jealous-azzed bass players commenting on here.

E string was horribly flat 😫

yes i know!!! just stop talking and play!!!
