Marcus Miller Bass Clinic | Live from Thomann 

I could listen to Marcus all day. Play or talk!

Spectacular! MM doesn’t play the bass, he plays music, that is always the goal.

I just found this and how great it was! The smile on Julia's face was the biggest ,brightest I have ever seen from her. It was absolutely wonderful and says it all. Marcus is amazing and soooo gracious. Everyone involved now has a memory they will never forget!

I'll say it again, Marcus Miller has to be one of the coolest guys around. This video had me smiling all the way.

My dude Simon killing it on the drums! awesome !

Marcus has been and still is one of the greatest bassists and one of the most all-around musical talents to ever inhabit the earth!

Love the look on Julia's face when she first played with Marcus. Good show guys.

Wow! Julia's playing is just amazing :O

Thank you so much for posting this! Marcus is so humble and soft spoken about his experiences. His playing is legendary and his style is unmistakable but what stuck me the most on this video was you could feel the kindness and gentle spirit that is one of the most amazing musicians. Lots of life lessons in this video for me when I listened carefully. Inspired me to pick up the bass again.

"Bass is the facilitator between rhythm and harmony."

I'm sure that it was an amazing experience for Julia to check off her bucket list. She is so talented and Markus is so down to earth. Great Jam session.

Marcus Miller is an amazing bass player and human being sharing his musical and life experiences. The interaction with other musicians was a joy to watch making everyone feel relaxed to express themselves through their instruments which is the most important part of why we play our chosen instrument. Big thank you to Thomann for putting this great show on.

We bass RU-vid surfers love Julia!

One of the main reasons that Marcus is on so many recordings is because he is a bassist first. Yes, he has ridiculous chops and is a virtuoso, but he supports and enhances the songs that he's playing on.

This video is a happy maker! Who needs Netflix if you can have this.

You can't get any cooler than Marcus Miller, the guy's a living legend! He's one of those guys that you can keep listening to for days and don't get tired.

You go, Julia!!!

He shows with his speech that he is humble and a great person.

What was this an unforgettable evening with a great guy and musician. Thanks Marcus

I can watch this all over and over again!!!! Its a real jam in of itself!!!!

Julia made me scream and brought tears in my eyes! wow so funky what a vibe! if you read this Julia .. nothing but love!

Your character comes off thru your playing. That's what many musicians miss today.

I'll watch it for at least 1000x times more this week

My name is Glenn Plak. Marcus it was a great privilege and honour to meet a great musician like you on the centrale station of Amsterdam today (27-06-2019). Yes the world of music change when you start with Miles. As a Jaz Fusion (& and brazilian Clasic) Amateur Gitaris i admire you. Why? because funk was and is my most beloved mucis styl. And especially when it comes down to Molody! When i hear you Marcus i tarted fall in love with funk & bleus again! Thank you for this wonderful Bass Clinic Live from Thoman. I would like to meat you again on your way to Amsterdam.

Waw.. I am really impressed with the drummer! Of course Marcus Miller is my favorite bass player!

Absolutely loved this! Simon was killing it on drums and Julia’s playing was awesome with a killer sounding/looking bass! Can we hear more of Julia playing somewhere??

What I got out of that whole session was to find myself on my instrument. I will.

I had the chance to meet Marcus Miller twice, before and after a concert, once at the Seine Musicale in Paris and once at the Blue Note in New York. How not to be surprised by the fact that this great artist with his worldwide fame and his talent can remain so accessible, attentive and coupled with great kindness? Certainly a great lesson to give to artists whose emerging success goes to their heads ! My choice fell on the Sire U5 short scale, an excellent choice for learning the bass when you are a complete beginner !

Marcus Miller is a Living Legend, and a Grand Master of the Bass Guitar . . . ! . . . 🙂 (-; And He Is Stiil Going . . . ! . . . 🙂 (-; . . . Big Ups to Julia, Simon, and the rest of the Thomann and Sire Teams for Recognizing, Honouring , and Cherishing this Living Legend and Cultural Ambassador . . . ! . . . 🙂 (-;

Marcus is one of my biggest influences on the bass I've been playing for 10 years and he influenced me to slap hes so cool the man is beast

Marcus is my favorite bassist,

My uncle (sound engineer) presented me Marcus Miller's CD albums (along with other jazz-rock/funk/fusion music) when I was a kid. I listened it but didn't pay too much attention and forgot about him soon. When I started playing bass, I re-discovered Marcus. It was a great surprise for me, that he is still alive and active! Marcus is appeared to be very funny, kind and interesting person and a great musician with its own awesome style.

That's awesome that he didn't make this exclusive content and was able to get this wisdom especially some of the soundcheck advice.

Man, that was sooo good. The 2 young bassists did so well, and it was great to see genuine enjoyment playing with the master. Powerful stuff. Thanks to Marcus and the different teams for putting this together. Love from Australia.

i have enjoyed this session so much .I plugged in my bass and jammed with them !Time flew like magic!

I'm not a bassist anymore but right now I wish I stayed on bass. Marcus is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

wow. that was so amazing. the life lessons and musical inspirations from MM.

Thank you, Thomann, for putting this out there. Earlier this year I had the pleasure of attending a master class given by MM. I even had a chance to chat with him briefly the night before, a few minutes before lots of people knew that he had arrived at the venue. I told him I owned a 5-string M2 by Sire. He congratulated me and offered some advice about the guitar. MM is an absolute genius on the bass & one fine human being!

Amazing

This is gold, thank you!

Yes sir he mentioned my uncle and his friend Wah Wah Watson!! RIP unc, we miss you but you left your DNA all of the music industry!!!!!!!

Marcus little stories from his life is entertaining, and the connection with the people in the room becomes so nice. The jamming with the Thomann crew was cool. It shows how Marcus can both give big scene conserts, and cosy little music bars where he's with the audience close around.

Thanks for making & posting this Thomann ! I love this guy, gentle & humble mannered & a magnificent player ! Always makes me smile, whether he's playing or talking.

i Pruda Bass thank you a lot. Niceness indeed mon.

Very cool... well worth the time. Thanks Thomann & Marcus!

One of the BEST clinics I've ever seen! Great Job!

What a great time❤ so much insight on so many levels. Great stuff

what a nice guy. thanks for the video thomann

This session is priceless. So much wisdom

Legend. I remember listening to his stuff with David Sanborn and just being blown away. Still am.

This the first time I have seem a clinic. I ENJOYED all of it. Thanks

Loved this clinic. Great Marcus Miller.

These are things your want to share with your children and there are a lot of them available on RU-vid. Can you imagine how generous Marcus Miller is here, giving Lessons that are course lectures. That is the Good thing with the Americans, the freedom to grow. Knowing that the Bigger you learn from what I teach, the better I am understanding what I teach. Am i correct🙄⁉😲

Great video- worth the time totally

Superb Thomann presentation

Such a great clinic! Loved it. Marcus is an humble but genius man. And all of Thomann's crew was on point! Big props to Simon of course. Thank you Thomann!

Wow, I am just introduced to this majestic musician. Damn, this is the 🔥.

Awesome seeing you actually play with other people and jamming to show your real depth. Usually you just teach a bass line that is super simple for you.

So humble ,so skilled.

Every day a school day. Thank you for the stream.

Thomann rocks! This is such a great clinic and thanks to all who made it happen. Enjoyed Marcus Miller's knowledge and experiences and Simon on drums are amazing, including the special performance by Julia. Everyone should see this!

Absolutely great! Love to see Marcus Miller showcasing his Sire line of basses.

What a gold mine. 40:54 speaks volumes about the importance of fundamentals.

Master of Bass and Musicianship like always !

Great storyteller, Brilliant.

Marcus Miller and Stuart Matthewman are truly the most unsung musicians who ever lived

Simply stunning. Wonderful work, Mr Miller!

Beautiful job to all.

Thanks Thomann for this amazing moment in company of one of the greatest bass players in the world.

Awesome to get to Know Marcus. Sounds like a great guy to play music with.

Anyone else notice how infectious those grooves are?!?!? I'm still tapping my toes MINUTES after he stops playing. That might be the most important lesson from watching this clinic that he doesn't even verbalize in his discussion.

I was watching scott's bass lessons interview. Then all day i've been listening to the version of scoop they had on that. And now I've arrived here. I'm not a bassist but i've known a few nutters on bass. Now i'm watching many of Mr Miller. Thomann what a great company too !! More than a few things bought from there. Appreciate this. You can see this guys synapses firing in his movements. Definately level 2.0 synapses. Almost faster than the camera refresh rate. Electric movement. I take that back I think the fluorescent lighting flicker rate is causing a stroboscopic effect which Millers synaptic speed reveals. Honestly he's faster and more grooved than a fluorescent light.

☑ just love the musical artistry and passion of MM for doing good for people❗ _am new to bass after forty years acoustic fingerstyle _also just bought my first Sire MM V7 Ash body burst maple fretboard❗ ❤ 😊

This was entertaining, educational, enlightening, interesting, and incredibly inspiring!!! I actually sat through it non stop!! And for me, my attention span these days, and the length of the video, that is saying a lot!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

Great workshop, I learned alot; thank you Marcus, for always being so real!!

That harmonic slide coming in right after 1:31:55 is such a gem :)

A great musician and a very gently humorous humble guy. I really enjoyed this and will watch it again and again. Bass!

Met him and his band after a show at Catalina Jazz club before covid, chillest guys ever, stunning show.

The amount of talent Marcus Miller has is amazing. Simon, your rim shots are fire! Julia, you groover!

Simon is an absolute legend!!! so much balls!!

I never had a figure bass player, but know I do!! Beautiful person, thanks Mr Marcus!! God bless!!!

Thanks Marcus!!! You're truly a consumate teacher and musician !!! Kudos to you!! Continue to be an inspiration!!!!

This is incredible 🙏🏻

and how great the way he shares his knowledge !! big up !

What a humble and friendly personality for the bass maestro of our comtemporary generation. You"ve always been my tremendous inspiration. We love you Marcus.
