MarloweDK: I dont know the song so i wouldnt know;-) But in general you need to be really good to play busy

hank: just heard the bassline to Gene Chandler's "Groovy Situation" Grooving bassline! My question is...Do you think it's too busy and would play something that busy in your band. I totally dig it but I imagine some people may think it is overdone. I'd like to read your thoughts. Keep up the great work!

MarloweDK: Thx Tonari, it was also a great experience to do

Tonari: Hi, Marlowe! I found on Youtube many recordings from Talkshowet Meyerheim, and in every video you are playing so cool lines. You are the best!

MarloweDK: Relatively low but without too much fretbuzz

MarloweDK: No I dont think so, sorry

TheNextBen: Hi Marlowe. What action height do you recommend for slapping on jazz bass (I know action is a VERY subjective matter) but anyway... thanks a lot. Lots of respect to you!

losgood: Hi Marlowe, Is the You Play Along site going to be back up at all?

MarloweDK: Lots of licks in Major, just transpose to F, on bass its easy. Search the site for Major

ttonkin: Marlowe, Do you have a lick in F major (on your site) that would sound 'right at around 134 BPMs? Thank you for your great work. Just joined the site.
