The riff in itself isn't that complicated. What blows my mind about Miller's bass playing is the way he can hold something that simple and make it groove THAT much and for THAT long. His endurance is so god damn impressive and how his groove is constantly rock solid for the whole damn song. Mind=Funked

Another I would add is that some people just aren't ready for genius. Mr. Miller is clearly so, so full of music creating songs within songs. Organist/keyboardist, Great! But he was not as ready for Mr. Miller, who clearly, to my ears (as a musician listening) was rather directing the flow. Phenom, Mr. Miller. You know it. Mr. Miller takes things much further than just the song idea. He will bring it higher, further. You have to HEAR where he is going, what he's doing and not stay on your own planet if when playing with Marcus Miller. Go where he goes, and the music further flows. Trust!
