If he truly did, he would be alive. As Andrew WK said "Music is worth living for". Inner Demons are real. Spiritual warfare is real. Thanks to Fender for the process reveal for Mac. But the context is terribly sad & off point..
I legit have said similar words so that extra hits home plus me and my buddy i jam with are kinda socially awkward but man that dude can shred you know
Man. I'm 42. Been playing since i was 14. This person just inspired me to a whole other degree. Having multiple disabilities, I'm far from the player I imagined I would be. Mac Miller just clarified something mystical about being a musician. I'm late in discovering this angel who's light no longer shines. God keep him, and may he be at peace. And one more thing, Fender just earned more respect with this highlight by acknowledging that, musicians can approach the guitar, and bass, however they feel like it. No matter the skill. Play for the sake of playing.
"...'cause it'd be so easy to throw a beat on and rap and call it an album and continue. I have to expose some part of myself that I'm uncomfortable with, with every album." And that right there, is the mark of a true artist.
Yes. No shade to ariana but I'm always so curious about that dynamic because she's just a popstar who has a whole team creating every aspect of her career. But maybe they were creative in their private time, I know they made a lot of music together. It would just be weird to be so passionate about your music and music in general, and then dating someone who doesn't have that same authentic passion.
@@bnicolette14 I don’t know, man, I think most people get into music for the right reasons, but, along with success comes money and if you sign a record deal you give up a lot of those creative rights. I’ve heard her do a few things with thunder cat that were cool.
I didn't even know this dude played guitar. Never really listened to his music, I know he's a pretty big name in the rap scene and has been known to play some cool indie covers (Bright Eyes). My question is, why are people mad that Fender featured something about him? All I see here is a dude's love for music and guitar, not to mention that he has a really cool tone. I also didn't know he played bass and keys, looks like a pretty talented guy. He looks like someone who is passionate about making music and enjoys the process. That in itself is inspiring, so why not feature him in a Fender video? Hell, if I didn't play guitar and I was a young kid watching this video, I know for sure I would be inspired to pick up a guitar and create something.
lot of people talking shit, but mac actually does play guitar. he even plays the guitar in his live shows. shout out to fender for showing people that the guitar isn't just for people in the rock or blues scene, or that you have to be some kind of shredder.
One man band. As an old school rock/metal head... I have a massive amount of respective for this man whom all my friends would listen to throughout highschool... Rest in peace brother.
The guitar he is playing is called the Fender Journeyman Relic Telecaster 1963. In my opinion one of the best telecasters Fender has ever made. Great sound, great feel, and easy to play. If anyone here plays guitar, you definitely need to add this beauty to your musical arsenal. Mac was definitely one of a kind, he was an old soul for sure and he is greatly missed. Just have to say, the world wasn't ready for the fireworks. Rest in peace Malcolm.
i gonna get a bass guitar for the first time and i was wondering if the bass he’s playing is a p bass or a jazz because i can’t tell and wanted to know if you knew a good beginner recommendation that is similar to the one he’s playing
I think it is not any of those relic crap. He is playing just basic Fender Tele Americal Professional Olympic White. Because in 2017 they dropped this new series and you can also see at the end of the video American Professional promo.
I can't beleive people are hating on Mac. Hes gotten so good at rapping, his production is fire and hes just a cool ass dude. People will hate just because hes a rapper. Rap music has substance people are just so ignorant.
I started to violently type and talk shit, but then in the back of my head, I heard Glenn Fricker say, "Music is not a Meritocracy." Good for you Mac, do your thing.
Allen Hudson THanks for that man-I’d Reccomend u check out Faces Macadelic WMWTSO his alter ego stuff And Some Loosies/OtHer Tracks-he has some great stuff just his most famous stuff isn’t as good-still coo doe💯🤙
Mac miller was a true artist he had such a respect and love for music and all musicians he’s talked about it lots he’s even said it live in concert go find it yourself before you talk shit... he could play multiple instruments, write beautiful music, and had enough confidence to start signing ... this guy put his heart and soul into his music .. he’s a legend and we were blessed to be alive the same time as him.. now he’s gone but his music will live on forever🖤🖤#LLMM
That’s probably like the best interview video he’s done ever! So true and raw and just honest with himself telling us how he puts his soul into his music to connect to us
“To speak better through their instrument better than they can in conversation” has been a quote I’ve come back to this video for for years now. I think about a lot of the stuff he says here a lot actually. I hate that I never listened to Mac much until after he died but he’s been such a musical inspiration that hopefully some day i can make music as good as his even if it’s just for the comfort of my own soul
@@hazelstreet1654Mac has always exposed his vulnerabilities. Even when sober…. Have you heard circles? That’s not drugged out, that’s straight from the heart
I love watching him work. Because of him, i’m now going to school in LA to become a Music Producer myself. This man was a one of kind. Rest easy, Mac. You deserve it. Most Dope ✊🏼🙏🏼
Mac Miller was such a genuinely open, thoughtful, and honest person. You can hear it in his music and his interviews. What a treasure and sadly gone so soon. Rest easy, Malcom. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
I'm a guitarist and I don't normally listen to rap. But I do like Mac Miller, to bad we lost him so early. I remember a time before hi could play when I found out Mac played. I sat in my room in the dark with hrapdhimes in wishing I could play what he was. This video isn't about rap or rock or any debate. Its the passion for music. And I think that should bring us all together now. I forgot that Mac played actually, and seeing this is all that reminded me. I'm glad I found this, this is much more inspiring to me than seeing Eddie vanhalen play eruption. Sure vanhalen was obviously a much better guitarist than Mac. But this is inspiring because its just him being humble and making music as a one man show. I love it
Wow people 2 years ago were crazy! More impressive/inspiring than eruption? A 2 minute video of Mac talking mostly with a faint guitar riff/arpeggio on repeat in the background? That’s more inspiring than ERUPTION when it comes to guitar?! Or you mean rap because in that case it’s just a weird comparison, no one would want to hear Eddie rap. And it certainly wouldn’t have inspired anyone. People that listen to rap say the craziest things, in another video someone claimed Mac was the most diverse/creative artist in the history of music. No disrespect but that’s not even close to accurate and is insulting to those that came before him. If you like rap great but if you compare Mac and Van Halen you’re tripping.
@@adamk6299 no you completely misunderstood, to be clear Mac Miller is no where near the talent level of Eddie. What I was saying was it's more inspiring to ME (my opinion) to see Mac Miller putting all of this music together himself than it is for me to see Eddie shred eruption. Personally for me learning guitar was never a grandeur power trip where all I wanted to do was learn amazing scales so I could make awesome solos. It was simply the act being able to be creative and make music. That's why I found it creative and that's my two cents.
@@brandonashley5872 Oh gotcha that’s understandable, I was thinking you meant a more impressive technical ability guitar wise or something. Eruption is a total pain in the ass to learn particularly note for note (I’m not bragging because I’ve never even bothered attempting to learn it all) It requires a level of technique/skill not many guitarists can even pull off so I was thinking you were batshit crazy if you meant to compare the 2 which you didn’t I just read it that way.
@@brandonashley5872 The thing you’re wrong about is learning eruption leading to a power trip being a negative thing. If you can nail it note for note you should receive a card in the mail that explains how and why you are better than everyone else that can’t do the same. Why do you think people spend all that time learning the song? The “I’m Better Than You card” obviously. Guitarists love proving their superiority so now you have a readily available card that spells it out for them.
This was one of the most inspiring videos to me. It came out just around the time I first really started playing guitar, since then I’ve played almost every single day. Rest In Peace, Mac. You were a kind and talented soul.
Almost surprised by the comments here. Mac I respect your journey. Been following along watching the outpour of creativity for years now. Lovin the stuff you put out dude.
Record he is holding towards the beginning of the video is called Children of Forever by Stanley Clarke. Started listing and it’s very smooth, highly recommend.
Man.. Even just listening to you talk is inspiring. Everything about you just screams artist.. That word is thrown around loosely but you were the real deal and anyone who takes the time to actually know your music knows that as well. The world isn't the same without you. You are greatly missed.. Rest in peace Mac.
I miss him so much! He was on another level and he never followed the latest things, he always did his own thang and that's one of the reasons why I consider him a musical genius
I miss Mac so much. He is one of the main reasons I even got into guitar, and I never thought I would take it so seriously.. It has become my life the past 7-8 years.. All my money goes to it as well as time lol. I come back to this video a lot, especially for his words on speaking through the instrument so many great guitarists mention. I truly feel that now. I've always been deep into music and hip hop since a child and being raised on it, but I was also always too scared to show my voice, or "sing" etc as I have a rather weak voice.. The guitar and piano completely changed that for me. The expression you can get through a guitar is insane, it really depends on the day, and it will be a journey in your mind and hands that can take you anywhere and express how you're feeling whether it is just simple jazz chords verbed out, to dark dark blues, or angsty punk chords. Everyday it can be something new and be a let-out of emotions and energy!
People criticizing instead of enjoying. You people will never be able to fully appreciate life's beauty. Sad. RIP Mac you legend. Seeing you and thundercat play together and both your love for music was unreal.
Ive been feeling really discouraged lately in music playing but this just stokes my inspiration just right. Such a cool video. The man just loves music.
man, all ads aside. this was really inspiring and you can tell fender, let mac tell his own story.. it feels real. how adds should be made. rest in peace mac
I love you and miss you so much. Why is it that great artist like you are not found easily... I just really feel you were super special in your approach to music... And so original and real....
Rest In Peace Mac Miller. I grew up on your shit was listening to you in 4th grade I’m 21 now. Mac actually was a musician not just a rapper. He absolutely loved music I could tell.
Im part of the new era that doesn't understand the depth and meaning behind music, but now because of artist like this Im learning to appreciate it more. admitting that is hard, but i want to change myself and become a strong influence in the music. Im going start my journey down path of hard work to understand and build knowledge by learning how to play and LOVE the guitar for what it is no matter if its rock, country, hiphop, etc.
Watch Mac Miller's live cover of Wonderwall, does a straight blues style guitar solo behind his head like Hendrix. Believe what you want, but the guy can play guitar, bass, drums, keyboard and is smashing Ariana Grande.
Holy fuck dude, wonderwall is 4 open chords....his solo was in the A major pentatonic and it lasts 3 seconds. He makes excellent hip-hop music but your comparison to Hendrix is just fucking childish.
RIP MAC MILLER! 🙏 you will live on in your music. Love the tele! Gonna go play my ultra now. Thank you for the great music. And thank you fender for the amazing 🎸
So many people hating on this just because of being ignorant. Mac's a true artist and if you disagree you haven't given him a chance.He has done some pretty good projects throughout his career and he has so much more to give
If you disagree you are a close minded dumbass dude. Its so ridiculous to hate on different music because of the genre. All music is great. Macs gotten so much better as a rapper and just artist in general. Hes amazing.
RIP Mac man!! He was the best!! His attitude was just like me man!! Hes a legand that will never be forgotten!!! Mac Miller you were the best bro!!!! What ever happened to you. I miss you ❤️
people need to stop hating. why wouldn't Mac miller rep fender. hes a great musician who plays guitar well. plenty people in hip hop do. for ex big krit, tye $, rory, james fauntleroy, yelawolf, post Malone and Steve j . fenders not trying to be "hip" or "cool" by working with Mac. they're showing that you don't have to be in a rock or country band to play guitar. get over yourself lol
JustintheJ to be fair your right, I just get the feeling it's not authentic because I'm watching him play and have almost no clue besides some basic power chords but speak so highly of what it means to be able to sit down and express yourself, but I don't have anything wrong with people with 0 skill playing it just doesn't seem right coming from him
I miss this guy just speaking about music like this, honestly therapeutic to me to know what to do when I feel alone. Pick up a guitar and express myself.
Malcolm is probably one of the most underrated artists. Artist. Not rapper, because he is an artist, the man does it all. Stay mad, keep hating, he's still one of the greatest.
mac miller .i salute you . you are a talented person a good rapper . you respect real music and admit present music is just lifeless . but the real music the one that comes straight from ones heart
is there a longer version of this video or what? I see alotta people would absolutely LOVE it. as i know as i would! God damn Mac why’d you have to go so soon it’s just not right. 💔💔💔💔
RIP Mac Miller but yeah it doesn't shock me that a bunch of you guitar nerds stuck in the 90s are bitter that while he has that one instrument down reasonably enough to make records, he's also got the ability to produce as well giving him access to an infinite amount MORE sounds. Modern day composers, producers are, but he could rap too? And sing, reasonably well enough, meanwhile you're still paying for your shit and he got it for free most likely for his endorsement xD stay salty while rock continues to die that'll really achieve what you want it to I guarantee it /s
I am not hating on guitars or guitar players, I play guitar myself. No, I am hating on the people who were hating here I presume because certain other people who play guitar maybe were like shocked or appalled that someone who did hip hop was featured here. I don't hate on any legitimate artists anywhere in fact I defend them as I did here, that's all
Alot of respect mac i didnt know you played instruments i really feel you mac it would be nothing to rap over a beat and call it an album instrumentation is true music true art and you incapsuled it my friend gone too soon im still on my guitar journey. No matter where life takes me you can catch me with a smile. Rip
My girlfriend is inlove with him…. I never listened to him until 2021 just didn’t think he was anything other than a typical 2010 era rapper which isn’t my style…. But riding in the car with her I’d constantly hear good songs and be like wait who’s this!? And it was always Mac Miller…. Now to see this and see how talented he was musically not just lyrically clever over someone else’s music I’m really disappointed I ate so many shrooms at the concert of him and wiz Khalifa or like him n kid cudi that obviously I can’t even remember who was on stage much less a single thing he performed
This guy invested his entire life into his love for music. Something everyone here should appreciate.
Beautifully said dude #mostdope
❤️😢😢 Makes me sad he’s gone. But Atleast we can appreciate his art that he left us with now.
If he truly did, he would be alive. As Andrew WK said "Music is worth living for". Inner Demons are real. Spiritual warfare is real. Thanks to Fender for the process reveal for Mac. But the context is terribly sad & off point..
Invested his entire life......in overdosing?

Listen to Swimming by Mac Miller, it will change everything. It will hit different when you know he died months later at 26.

Im going start my journey down path of hard work to understand and build knowledge by learning how to play and LOVE the guitar for what it is no matter if its rock, country, hiphop, etc.
Watch Mac Miller's live cover of Wonderwall, does a straight blues style guitar solo behind his head like Hendrix. Believe what you want, but the guy can play guitar, bass, drums, keyboard and is smashing Ariana Grande.
all of that makes me rage with jealousy, particularly that last part.
Holy fuck dude, wonderwall is 4 open chords....his solo was in the A major pentatonic and it lasts 3 seconds.
He makes excellent hip-hop music but your comparison to Hendrix is just fucking childish.
^An elitist music snob people, I found an elitist music snob. You can smell their stench anywhere on the internet.
Lol how is he being an elitist music snob? Dude just mentioned some very basic music theory and he's a snob because you don't understand it?
lol typical hendrix fan
RIP MAC MILLER! 🙏 you will live on in your music. Love the tele! Gonna go play my ultra now. Thank you for the great music. And thank you fender for the amazing 🎸
People don't seem to realise he was a super talented multi instrumentalist. We have lost someone very special. RIP Mac 🕊
man... crazy to see just the simple joy.. Rest easy. thumbs up.
I miss mac so much this man's music helped so many people and continues to help so many till this day won't ever get over the fact that he's gone
Rest easy Mac. I didn't get to listen to your music much, but I highly respect you as a musician. RIP
Didn’t know this about Mac Miller. Not even a fan of his but now I’m curious to listen to his music. Seemed like he had a true passion for music.
0:18 "Its nice to not have to talk to describe how you feelin" exactly 👌🏾
this is the best part of the series so far. pure.
His life was so peaceful. I miss this dude alot . Damn. But he'll live forever. In our memories.
Im sobbing... he was such an inspiration to me.. RIP Mac🙏🏼
the way he put it into words - amazing
I miss you, Mac. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
Do your thing Mac, you're the best.
So many people hating on this just because of being ignorant. Mac's a true artist and if you disagree you haven't given him a chance.He has done some pretty good projects throughout his career and he has so much more to give
If you disagree you are a close minded dumbass dude. Its so ridiculous to hate on different music because of the genre. All music is great. Macs gotten so much better as a rapper and just artist in general. Hes amazing.
Damn man...he’s really blasted in this interview. RIP to my favorite artist of all time
i said the same thing, “he’s smacked”
Mac Miller's words is inspiring me ❤🎶 you re the best artist Mac !
This made me really really miss Mac and his spirit. When he left us we lost a great deal of talent and humility.
This dude was a national treasure..
This is why I miss this dude, great artist and human being
Dude was highly intelligent when it came to describing music & emotions. he was ahead of his time, ur missed Mac!
RIP Mac man!! He was the best!! His attitude was just like me man!! Hes a legand that will never be forgotten!!! Mac Miller you were the best bro!!!! What ever happened to you. I miss you ❤️
people need to stop hating. why wouldn't Mac miller rep fender. hes a great musician who plays guitar well. plenty people in hip hop do. for ex big krit, tye $, rory, james fauntleroy, yelawolf, post Malone and Steve j . fenders not trying to be "hip" or "cool" by working with Mac. they're showing that you don't have to be in a rock or country band to play guitar. get over yourself lol
you forgot lil weezy bro, he's the best guitarer of all the rapmen
randomlygeneratedusername. o hell no. he doesn't play guitar. he disrespects it lol
chad sineton define plays guitar well
JustintheJ to be fair your right, I just get the feeling it's not authentic because I'm watching him play and have almost no clue besides some basic power chords but speak so highly of what it means to be able to sit down and express yourself, but I don't have anything wrong with people with 0 skill playing it just doesn't seem right coming from him
THAT BEAT IN THE END WAS HOT THO
I miss this guy just speaking about music like this, honestly therapeutic to me to know what to do when I feel alone. Pick up a guitar and express myself.
A true musician. When you can just play and express yourself thru music.
Malcolm is probably one of the most underrated artists. Artist. Not rapper, because he is an artist, the man does it all. Stay mad, keep hating, he's still one of the greatest.
mac miller .i salute you . you are a talented person a good rapper . you respect real music and admit present music is just lifeless . but the real music the one that comes straight from ones heart
talking about the sound as water and swimming and circles really shows that progression
is there a longer version of this video or what? I see alotta people would absolutely LOVE it. as i know as i would! God damn Mac why’d you have to go so soon it’s just not right. 💔💔💔💔
Mac gets music. This interview only proves it.
a real artist right there. it doesnt matter how well you play, its the feeling and the soul you put into what you do. nice short film fender 👏👏👌
“Just play for the sake of it” Mac Miller was a great.
I love how he adores his guitar. That what it’s all about!
Rip mac, u were a hell of a musician and were always underrated.
miss you mac, and the shots in this are insane
Rip Larry. You will be missed and your work will live on!
RIP bud.... Much respect for ya after this video- you were really something else....
Happy Birthday Mac🕊💙
Love you so much Malcolm 💖
RIP Mac Miller
but yeah it doesn't shock me that a bunch of you guitar nerds stuck in the 90s are bitter that while he has that one instrument down reasonably enough to make records, he's also got the ability to produce as well giving him access to an infinite amount MORE sounds. Modern day composers, producers are, but he could rap too? And sing, reasonably well enough, meanwhile you're still paying for your shit and he got it for free most likely for his endorsement xD stay salty while rock continues to die that'll really achieve what you want it to I guarantee it /s
voteZDLR he was a good pianist, bassist and drummer as well. talented guy. RIP
Yeah he just loved music... period. And he did it all. And his passion for the music first and foremost showed. RIP
They can continue the nonsense. We know who Malcolm was..a true artist..RIP.
I can’t tell if you’re hating on guitars or hating on the people gatekeeping saying that “guitars only belong in rock/etc...”
I am not hating on guitars or guitar players, I play guitar myself. No, I am hating on the people who were hating here I presume because certain other people who play guitar maybe were like shocked or appalled that someone who did hip hop was featured here. I don't hate on any legitimate artists anywhere in fact I defend them as I did here, that's all
Dang. Never realized how talented this guy is.
Mac you were a real musician brother
Rest in peace my brother, you're strumming up in heaven.
I miss you every day Mac, hope you are in a better place...
HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY MALCOLM. WE MISS YOU!
Mac is one of my all time favorite musicians
Alot of respect mac i didnt know you played instruments i really feel you mac it would be nothing to rap over a beat and call it an album instrumentation is true music true art and you incapsuled it my friend gone too soon im still on my guitar journey. No matter where life takes me you can catch me with a smile. Rip
Rest In Peace Mac Miller. We love you.
My girlfriend is inlove with him…. I never listened to him until 2021 just didn’t think he was anything other than a typical 2010 era rapper which isn’t my style…. But riding in the car with her I’d constantly hear good songs and be like wait who’s this!? And it was always Mac Miller…. Now to see this and see how talented he was musically not just lyrically clever over someone else’s music I’m really disappointed I ate so many shrooms at the concert of him and wiz Khalifa or like him n kid cudi that obviously I can’t even remember who was on stage much less a single thing he performed
He's better than i would have assumed (from what I saw) so good on his part. Even a few chords is better than a lot of stuff that's out there today.
