- Performing a Marcus Miller inspired tune, Dr Funk is back with his Drop D street session in Newquay.
Multi-instrumentalist, live-looper, jazz funk bassist Dr Funk brings busking into the 2020s. He makes the four-string sing. He surfs. His dream is to own a 67 Mustang Fastback. He’s not actually a doctor.

🎥 Welcome to the official TH-cam Channel of Dr Funk 🎵
Dr Funk lives to play the bass. That’s really all you need to know. Slapping, popping, strumming, riffing, he elevates the humble rhythm instrument to levels of melody and showmanship that are more commonly associated with the lead guitar. Inspired by legendary bassists - Marcus miller, Victor Wooten, Louis Johnson - Funk is the type of player who could jam on a groove for hours, building it up with his loop machine and keys. Fellow musicians stop and play with him. Crowds gather. Intrigued ears fished by Funk’s playing, pausing and taking time out to enjoy a stranger’s soundtrack.
It’s one of the most honest, unfiltered forms of performance you can imagine, and it’s one that the good doctor has known since he was 15. Since moving from Sunderland to Cornwall in search of surf, gigs and good times with his band of schoolmates - south west festival favourites The Big Sets - it’s the only job he’s ever had. Over the years he’s taken his unique style across Europe and, most recently, he’s taken his work across the world as one of the most popular viral street performers online.

I've said it before and this just cements it; when the musician looks like they're silently having an intense conversation with their instrument, they're next level.
Funk man you Rock, or should i say Get that Funk out. That is killer !
Straight on !!
Fuck yea that's deep.
Is the "Sweet Dee Eating Trash Cake" I see there?
@@RogerDiotte good eye lol
I don't understand how people can just walk past. Even if I was in a hurry, I couldn't help but stop and watch for at least a minute.
Uncultured swines
Not everybody can understand art. And this is art.
yea ,but sorry things can wait lol
He could make me late for work every day!
This set is absolutely genius Dr Funk and I can’t believe that it doesn’t sound like a crowd!
The location choice maybe?
Any huge train station... the acoustics would be amazing too!
I could never just walk by this inspiring talent without stopping.
Agree
Less Claypool 2.0 the Redux
That’s how fucked up society has become. Everyone is completely zoned out.
I think many of the hordes are basically musically brain dead. I very rarely encounter anyone who can sing in tune or has the desire to let rip with at least a 5 second burst! When i do it you get "funny" looks. Of course millions love music but billions are not "tuned in" either!
I’d be there for the duration. He’s brilliant!!!!
There's got to be more than 3.5 million people and bass enthusiast that find this guy next level fascinating.
On facebook it is going viral too with 31million views haha but it would be nice if that happened here too
Gooooooooooooood! Damn good!!!!!
Dr funk has been through the bad and knows his stuff,a very true bass player
Thanks a lot mate!
People don’t realise how good this guy is 🙏
Yes, because he speeds up most of his videos, shane
The labloob No.... You are talking bollocks.
I have seen him playing live many times in Newquay and he doesn't need to speed up anything.
You sound like a jealous man. Try getting over it....
He is a Legend waiting to be Discovered.
Paulonbass75 Either you are trolling, in which case you are just plain stupid.
Or you seriously think he's rubbish, in which case you are just plain stupid.
Q.E.D.....
The public is dumb
In what world does a person walk by something this good without stopping? This playing is so siiiickkkk!!!
Some people are just not matured enough to appriciate this
this means nothing to some people...
its so very sad...
People prefer acoustic guitar players over electric guitar or basses for an unknown reason
He isnt playing the bass... he is the bass.
"I'll check this out for a sec" ******stays till the end...******
literally me
Needed another 10 mins atleast damnnnnnnn
Same
Ditto AMAZING
🤣🤣 yup
This is the Best Accidental Click I've ever made and as someone who's learning to play bass it was VERY INSPIRING 💜🤘
All those people just walking on by without even looking have no souls!!! How can you not start to move your body when you here a groove like this.
Haha there was a couple people on the crowd yeah
Got here from an IG reel and now one of the dopest solos I’ve ever heard
Ah cheers mate
There is no way I could just walk by with him playing, no way.😍
I'd be like damn Bro play some more..:)..I'd be glued...
I'd give him a sawbuk
In a world where we're often lost in materialistic nonsense it's nice to see somebody so happy just slappa da base.
Hahahah best comment
Well, without „materialistic nonsens“ this dude wouldn‘t have a bass and an amp, wouldn‘t he?
@@BerlinsLeon gotta be one on here
This is no joke the funkiest song Ive ever heard. Damn son.
Haha cheers
What did you expect? He has a PhD in bassology...
I wonder if this guy made it big since the video came out...it's a shame for talent like this to go unnoticed ....he's amazing .
still checking out this video after so many times/years... it is probably one of the funkiest riffs ever seriously...
Check out Davie 504 vs Japan. That has to be one of the best sessions I've seen. It was so smooth if it was a real song I would play it everyday.
Maximum Funk Level Achievement.
Oh yes haha thanks
Because people are clueless. An absolute master and they don’t even notice.
World class bassist right there. The fact that people just walking is coz they prolly dont know aboutvbass playing techniques ther4 dont know what he is doing is brilliant...
If you just walk by like it's nothing? You're definitely not a musician
@@poohead8022 im not a musician?? Well i am not a famous musician but im a bass player so I know what his doing. Search Marcus Miller techniques and you'll understand wat his doing too. But i understand, u probably dont know who Marcus Miller is...
A perfect example of someone who actually uses their instrument to the max. From the tuning, to the multiple, extremely difficult techniques to the average player, to the mid-song EQ adjustments to fit the following set of arrangements. Fantastic work mate!
Just imagine if his bass had enough strings ;)
@@aaizner847 Hell, he could rip a one string shovel and it would be amazing.
Tam's other half
@@tammymorningstar4794 Agreed! And a six string would give him more range to do that amazing ripping.
"If less is more, imagine how much more, MORE could be!" :D
@@aaizner847 Do you know what kind of effects pedal (s) he could use for this? Or on the amp? I'm brand new at this and with a straight precision bass, i don't have that sound...
@@easyabc1404 That pedal isn't where that sound comes from. His pedal is a looper/sampler. It just lets him record a sample and then repeat it indefinitely. Any looper pedal will do that. His specific sound comes from his strings, his bass, and his amp. But even that isn't totally necessary. You could get that sound from a wide range of basses and amps, as long as they're not shit :)
What kind of bass and amplifier do you have?
Feel free to ask any other questions you might have.
My doctor told me I was low on funk, so he wrote me a prescription. This was it.
No cowbell chaser?
The only prescription...is...more cowbell!
This should be your Doctor: Dr. Funk!
anyone else listen to this more than 30 times already?
Haha keep it up lol
@@DrFunkBass don't worry! Counts going up and up and up
Maybe 50 plus 😂
@@SlipperySandbox69 way past that by now!
Bruh he'll yeah it's amazing
This Man has The Juice!❤
My question is how tf are people just walking by like nothing
RIGHT????? WOW, just WOW!!
Probably see him everyday.
plebs can't appreciate art of a masterclass when they see it
Unbelievable....
I had same thoughts... he is so good and people passing by like nothing is going on
Dr Funk must have a PHD in funk
Brilliant. Insane talent that deserves more of a stage than the passersby who are oblivious!
Aw thanks a lot, I'll get there
@@DrFunkBass I'm cheering you on then and beyond:) 🥰
Strange how so many people walk by without acknowledging this greatly talented musician
My man you operate musically on a level far above what most people will ever understand. You definitely have an incredible gift. You are without doubt a master of the bass guitar.
This man is still hearing comments today. Legend.
Dr Funk, at the age of 53 you have inspired me to get my first bass. “Somebody call me a Dr.!!!”
Yesss man nice!
Ok Dr Mark..Your wish came true..:)...
So hard to find a decent left handed guitar
I don't care people walking around, I enjoy watching on my phone from Darjeeling, India.🖤🎶👊
Legend! Thanks
This guy is crazy good. I’m not a huge fan of slap/pop, but he blends it with other styles and rocks it!
Anyone having this much fun and making other people this happy is a MASTER. Well done Sir!
Could it be Hendrik Linders little brother?
FRECUENCIA ZERO th-cam.com/video/5D6IF235uMU/w-d-xo.html bendiciones
this guy's communicating with the gods from other universes
We are so lucky as music lovers that this guy found exactly what God put him here to do. Wow!
That bass lost its virginity for sure. Killer groove man.
Nah man, sounds WAY too experienced 😂
Destruction!!!
That bass could press charges with how bad it got slapped and fingered
I love how his whole body drops onto that low D string slap
He refuses to sell his soul. God bless brother.
This is insane!!!
Trust me mate, if you did this at Trafalgar Square in London, you will a HUGE crowd surrounding you like it's a concert.
True
The people just walking by casually and barely noticing... I would be sitting 3 feet away Indian style with my fists propping up my head like an elementary school student. This dude is unbelievable.
People walk by bc they don’t appreciate or understand how hard it is to master an instrument as why most guitar players give up after a month or two. Guy can slap!!!
Organic King's don’t care about the Crown 🖤🤘
Holy crap, where has this guy been & how come I’ve never heard him before?? He’s amazing!!!
i keep coming back to this. i mustve listened to it more than 40 times in the past 2 months
Исполнение на высочайшем уровне просто огонь 👏. 👏. Гитарист от души и сердца профессионал на высоте.Спасибо за исполнение супер круто красиво 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍💥💥💥💥💥100%
Thank you very much mate
He's so talented I watch his stuff everyday bring s a huge smile to my face love it that bass is killing it hard
Ah nice on mate, glad ya like it
My god , how amazing is this guy. Have watched this many times, simply incredible. Talent to to burn.
He's just fucking rocking it. Awesome.
People walking by like its a greenscreen... why else wouldn't they be stopping for this slapper!!!
no shit
Maybe they’re gay
If Tool made funk.
Dudes got a Maynard-looking haircut AF
Абсолютно согласен 😊
Still can't stop listening to this one.
Good man cheers!
Primus and Tool influences detected, scores a 10 on groovometer
Primus & Tool? I bet they too got their sauce from Marcus Miller ? ;)
I agree, definitely heard the tool influence before I read this comment 👍
Another one who thinks Tool = "egyptian sounding music". God, please have some musical culture.
Arc2301 amen
I love tool, but can't stand when people compare music to them just because it has a middle eastern sound. Tool is great but stop making them the benchmark. This guys music is unique and sounds nothing like tool.
Man that dude has a groove like I've never heard before. Amazing player.
Go listen to some Les Claypool... To me, very reminiscent :-)
I can’t stop watching this.
I don't get why people like this are not famous and rich out of thier minds...
Haha fk i wish!
nobody must like music in that town. How this guy didn't draw a crowd during this is crazy . he's great
Yet, they would clamour to see garbage like Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift. This guy is way above their heads.
Dude is well loved in the Newquay music scene.
No shit, I was thinking the same...
Most don't stop take the time to appreciate the talent shown
Because now in our age,playing an instrument even as a virtuoso is not a big deal anymore,so many of them all over the net...
Dude omg, im kinda mad he's not that known he's so freaking good
I don't understand how anyone can just walk by that. If my house was on fire I still wouldn't be able to not stop and and move to this jam!
Hahaha cheers
Bring the funky back!!!!!!!
Ok haha
Who says you can’t use the bass as the rhythm and lead instrument? This guy just smashed all those old beliefs!
Now that’s what you call bass playing, INCREDIBLE 🙏
Do you know what kind of effects pedal (s) he could use for this? Or on the amp? I'm brand new at this and with a straight precision bass, i don't have that sound...
Ну почему же?
Посмотри CharlesBerthoud- удивишься ещё больше.
@@easyabc1404 the effect is called "technique"
@@easyabc1404 on top of having good technique, which i'm sure you'll develop if you're diligent, make sure your bass is well setup and that your strings are relatively fresh
the best ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I seriously don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone play quite like this before…AMAZING!!!
Check out Tom Jenkinson (squarepusher) Solo Electric Bass
I wish Dr Funk would operate in my town!
Had to repeat it 500 hundred times, this is amazingly addictive.
Those triples are so clean. 🔥
Still one of the best performance I've ever heard.
hell yeah
My speakers just burst into flame. I'm super impressed with the crystal clarity of the speed notes. All-galaxy team. THANK YOU
Dude those people who's just passing.. by is so sad with their lives men... Daaaamn no one can just ignore kind of... Hokage when it comes to bass... Damnnnnnn gooooove...
This is great medicine on a below 0 degree day!
I'm a pro bassist, and known for being a Funkmaster,and I got really incredibilly inspired !!!
Do you know what kind of effects pedal (s) he could use for this? Or on the amp? I'm brand new at this and with a straight precision bass, i don't have that sound...
Most of the people dont know how hard it is to reach this lvl of playin the bass. For this you need true passion. Just insane, dude!
I do. I used to play drums in a band. I picked up the bass just playing around. Couldn't get nothing but simple notes out of it
Why does everybody think that THEY are the only one that understands what is in front of their face?
Your comment is NOT about how good he is. Your comment is about how bass-smart you are.
Based on the similar comments here... other people see the same thing you do. Your'e not that smart.
One of the best bass solo in the world! IQ 200
Excellent ...créatif ....dynamique il faut continuer...
quel plaisir a écouter
Thank you
This man ia so Bass, he loops a bass line while he funks hard on his bass.
This is Major Badass Bass, man!
Words can’t describe how incredibly bad ass this is!!
This guy is on a completely different level!!
So incredible. I can listen to this all day. 😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can't Get Enough!!!!!!!
Grab a 12 pack and just bob and weave to the groove .
Hands down best bass solo on the web, shocking skill. It's real and alive.
Thank you very much for healing me, Dr. Funk! The best Doctor I've been to!!
Haha no worries
This is beyond amazing. Sorry they're wasn't a crowd. Im sure myself and the rest of the comment section would have sat down and vibed with you
If you listen at the end there is a small crowd , you can hear them cheer and rightfully so . The camera is where it needs to be , stuck on this amazing performance .
Think about what you said. The camera isn't even facing the crowd. The crowd would be standing off to the right of the camera view.
@@ericabercrombie6780 you're not just a pretty face are you. Thank you for your input
@@ericabercrombie6780 And they were off to the right . Actually sounds like there was a crowd at the end cheering ..
You can hear people cheer at the end and you can see him nodding at people throughout. Theres definitely a crowd
Also... holy shit this dude is bad ass!
I can’t stop watching this. This guy is out of control.
In a good way lol
Ever green. . 😊He man Master of the universe
Amazing performance
He just kills it and with a joyful smile.
I've been back and watched this video 15 times in the last 5 days....
Same here it’s fantastic, The beginning gives me tool vibes then he goes funky as hell.
C SEXY 3 I’m right there with ya always appreciate good bass skills #bassgangstrong
I watch every version I can find of him playing this song. It’s crazy addictive especially that crazy attack on the open E (drop D)
I watched it 15 times only today hahahaha
he is sooooo gooood
Heh ,me too
Charles and dr funk are legitimately god of bass!
🎶🎶...L'ets Rock...🎶🎶
🎶... Yeeaahhh... 🎶
🤘🎸🎶😉
BADASS BASS
Me: "How many times do you slap that funky bass?" Dr. Funk: "Yes"
Dude is amazing
Dr Funk was Burning while playing this 🔥🤍
Some straight up stinky riffs right here. Sick.
Those are some delectable bass licks.
Much respect to you sir
This man has a lasting impact on him. I'm a novice at the bass but I know what real . My big brother Craig C.C Calhoun always is the best to me. One day I hope to be as grand as this man.
If I saw you playing this in the street I would go to an ATM and drop 100 in your case. From a fellow bassist, you’re absolutely insane.
I record this song to my playlist. I wake up every morning with this song and a cup of strong coffee...
Can't stop coming back to this video
What do you sleep with that thing......DAMN IT BOY ❤️👏👍👏❤️🔥🔥🔥
Been playing six string for years. Got my first bass a couple of weeks ago. Watched this. Cried and put my bass back in the corner. He is absolutely, without a doubt the best bass player I’ve seen.
Pick it back up and go for it. Good players shouldn't dissuade you they should inspire you!
Ive never understood this mentality. Music isnt a competition to see who is the most technical. Watching a good player have fun and create good music should only inspire u. Weak mindset
I almost search exclusively for slap bass videos because of this vid. Charles Berthoud is another amazing bassist you might enjoy, though he records in-studio for his videos.
Oh goodness. Stick with it. You’re going to find there’s a whole world of ludicrously talented bassists and in time you may become one of them...
@@virtualplaya07 I was about to recommend Charles too. For me, he is, from all I know, the absolutely best technical bass player I've ever seen. Doesn't mean that he's the best bassist, cause I believe that there's no existent criteria to base an argument that says someone is THE best bassist. But..... I personally consider the creations, the music they made, the best way to judge a bass player ,as an artist, but as a musician, an instrumentalist, I believe is how many different styles he can play, how many difficult things he can play and make it sound good, and Charles fits in that category for me. But this is all my humble opinion... well, bye folks
