Marcus Miller Masterclass at Gerald Veasley's Bass BootCamp 2019

This guy is a force of nature. He plays better all the time and looks twenty years younger than he really is. Go Marcus.

Props to the keyboard and drummer too. They laid it down on command.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

These three are jamming together. But, they make it seem like they have been playing together for a long time. Fantastic!

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

UNBELIEVABLE had no idea he is that good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

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!

Props to the rhythm section for hangin there with all those licks.

The wisdom contained within this is immeasurable. Thanks so much for sharing!

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 Youtube!🙂 Thanks for your great comment. Blessings to you, Marcus Miller, and al

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 .....

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!
