Victor wooten Best bass solo Ever!

[jacobassmon]

I wish I knew the 38 people that gave this video a thumbs down, so I could pimp slap each of them right across their thick ass dome piece..

[lazlo939]

this is cool

[ReAcTiOnZz665]

FUCKING N00oB

[thelastprime115]

whats the name of the video or where did you got the video?

[plwizerd]

when I'm done practicing my bass I put it next to this vid and I promise it that one day I'll sound half this good

[SMDforTacos]

i see all these comments on so many videos "how could anyone dislike this" or "why is there a dislike button", and it's pretty annoying. But for once i have to say it. WHY IS THERE A DISLIKE BUTTON? This is talent beyond belief! I mean really, i hate this song, i've heard it so much, but victor was making art here, a real masterpiece.

[TheEpicImpaler]

Victor Wooten onced fingered a girl.... SHE DIED.

[leodale1]

Of course the best bass solo is by a, black man

[duardmusk]

[HeroicalRevenge]

I don't like his style. He's a good bassist though.

[richiebb]

victor wooten solo tiene un fallo, y es que cuando empieza a picar se le va la pinza y empieza a meter miles de golpes casi todos fueras de tiempo en plan flipao. Por lo demas cualquiera le encantaria tocar como el

[XxDarkXScorpionxX]

bass sound like a guitar folk!

[sanntiimusic]

Name of the song at @2:24 ? love that solo wow, its wonderful, please answer!

[luisxI1]

[GruesomeDrifter]

@luisxI1 Umm... It's a sped up, more improvised Amazing Grace...

[paragon351l]

@luisxI1 um i take it your not from the U.S. cause the national Anthem isnt amaseing grace...

[SkMatz]

sucks

[stratojb]

@SkMatz your mum

[SkMatz]

@stratojb tratándose de una distancia tan grande, lo veo físico-temporalmente imposible. He sucks playing the bass.

[Zerstorren]

[ChandlerDodds]

[sclongboarder15]

soul tarin all abord... gospel train all aboard... funk train all abord... AMAZING GRa... TRAIN all aboard!

[riccmey]

[Nakahito42]

[tyago343]

[Kalipto91]

again...PROUD TO BE A BASS PLAYER

[TheGuitardude94]

SLAPPE DE BASS

[wingterd2]

2:23 makes me proud to not be him xD

[SomeGuyWithABassGtr]

Man love playing his songs but it would be so much better if i were black :(

[AndrewFrickenReiss]

At 4:36 , she's thinking "...If he can do THAT with his fingers...hmm...Thiss wedding ring might have to take a break for a night."



[plople1]

@AndrewFrickenReiss hahahaaha!!!

[TheTrackstar33]

its sorrta on the slow side and its not even that good

[TheDeathtacle]

Oh and Les Claypool? Are you having a laugh?

[TheDeathtacle]

John Myung? Are you kidding me? Not a patch on Vic, to be honest - I am a huge fan of DT though.

[blockow11]

its nice and fast and very technical BUT because of the speed, you can hear alot of notes that are out of sync or not struck correctly. I like the slower stuff he does at 2:40 or so cos when hes grovin its much better than trying 2 show off :p

[MyChemicalBasslines]

Myung, Cliff Burton, Trujillo, Ellefson, LEMMY

[clocs559]

Les claypool is way better

[rastaR00STER]

John myung

[TheDantebass]

yeah nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[Greatgonzales222]

Absolutely unbelievable!

[ProgresivePrototipe]

John Myung the best bas all times

[AhYer]

4:36 Women is like "Damn, I want him to be on me tonight."

[Ricky09flame]

Just amazing

[HoldenN63]

It just a waste if this people pass away!! May he live forever!!

Never thought a bassist could do even better then a guitarist!

Love it <3

[LorinStealthfist]

bb king from bass

[BIGBARTWAR]

this guy is firetruck awesome

[skoesi]

1 word.. just amazing;) ooh that are 2::P

[bassbassmen]

sencillamente impresionante

[dennisonjoshua4181]

anyone that says that this man is not amazing can HEADBUTT A STEAK KNIFE!!!

[MrBeatsmith]

This is great, but that shirt is louder than his playing.

[iheartmusic9853]

wow. natural harmonics for a rhythm? thats epic.

[ThePowerOfMusic1995]

Jaco Pastorius & Marcus miller had a child =

[abonandomierda]

Master! Master! Twisting your min and smashing your dreams! Awesome Victor!

[bisp25]

not even close best bass solo ever. another man's woman by paul goddard

[tubaeuphboyemk4]

@bisp25 pretty good but this one is better more complex and harmonic another man's woman is just about all one note at a time stuff this one is much more difficult

[olarrian]

so many white people in the audience lol

[drewzzr1]

Genius!

[MrMetallicMentality]

Clicked on the link and said, "Oh, of course he's black."

[SanFTW95]

1: I love the Yin-Yang sign on hiss bas <3

2: People like hunter1801 and AwesomeGirl 101 understand the shit . Every instrument is awesome in it's way, and each instrument is awesome in solo when played by a master. Every instrument deserves ( and HAS) a handful of godly good players who plays them. (Drums: Billy Cobham Bass: Victor guitar: Jeff Beck, need more?)

3: Said by a Jazz/funk bass player :P

[AwesomeGirl101]

People, the bass is also amazing as the guitar, I'm tired of the people that say the guitar is the only amazing instrument, and this show how incredible is. Maybe people not think the same, but it's only my opinion

[MonkeyCha0s]

shit was godlike

[teracite]

aliance best technique bass in the world with fucking muscaly .

[felitonio]

que grande este tio!!

[ralphM1114]

STOP THE FUCKING CLAPPING

[MrMorondude]

i can see that he is happy whit the bass...and...that's the reason why he is playing bass...he loves it

[Jcliveshere]

i heard someone do a bass recital of this- obviously not as good as victor but it was amazing nonetheless

[Emceetem]

That's what happens when you've been playing since your 2 years old.

and i don't get why people think the bass and guitar are exactly the same, two completely different monsters.

[GeneralGoldfish]

I love how every white person is clapping out of sync.

and I'm white...

[fatcat4112]

@GeneralGoldfish lol

[OFortuna3]

@GeneralGoldfish That doesnt make any god damn sense. Beethoven was white and deaf yet he was the most amazing composer ever

[bluebow68]

@OFortuna3 ..Yes,...but what about J.S.Bach,Mozart...no?..Oh,and Beethovan 'became' deaf later in life.He was'nt born deaf.He could already 'hear' the music in his head ..so to compose....

[GeneralGoldfish]

@OFortuna3 Must've been black.

[musikerne]

@GeneralGoldfish Bullshit, and you know it! It's shit like that whats keep racism alive!

[GeneralGoldfish]

@musikerne You mean my youtube comments matter? I thought I was just trolling. Oh well, time to change the world, one comment at a time.

[thewonkhotline]

@GeneralGoldfish the guy at 3:48 makes me happy to be white

[GeneralGoldfish]

@thewonkhotline he makes us all proud!

[arroyomusic]

@GeneralGoldfish Lol.

[crazylilman7]

hopefully i get to that level soon

[cdjthebomb]

COULD I GET SOME HELP CLEANING MY MIND OFF THE BACK WALL PLEASE!!!!!!!

[crazylilman7]

@cdjthebomb talking about getting ur mind blown lmao

[biffthebass1]

Very melodic

[LACROSSECXL]

i PASSED OUT AND WOKE UP TO THIS STILL GOING... PASSED OUT AGAIN.

[exbassibor]

@LACROSSECXL lmao!  Oh Victor.... Shoulda gone to wootcamp.... (sniffle)

[LACROSSECXL]

@exbassibor Man... I've seen many many bassist in my time. I've worked with a few unheard of guys that aren't to damn shabby either. But Victor really has to be the best with a bass. Point Blank. I saw Buckethead, & I couldn't believe how slow-fast his fingers were gliding over the neck. His progressions & transitions are F***ing amazing. The "killswitch" on the body took the damn cake! So as of right now, they have to be my top guitarist of this generation of musicians.

[bungledinho]

@ChiamSimmons kiss my ass

[FumanchuBros]

Cliff Burton all the way.

[davidchapincastillo]

awesome!!!!!!

[camhirtle]

Man. I have only recently discovered this guy. Gotta say i am hooked. I love his approach to bass.

[Elemeninki]

first slap bass lullaby i've heard.

[ChiamSimmons]

GENE SIMMONS COULD BEAT HIM ANY DAY, THIS GUY IS JUST A FRUIT. DONT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT GENE, HE HAD THE GUTS TO REINVENT ROCK AND ROLL, WITH WAR PAINT AND WAR BOOTS. HE IS THE BEST BASS PLAYER TO LIVE, YOU CANT ARGUE WITH THAT, KISS MAKE $500 MILLION A YEAR WITH CONCERT SHOWS, NO ONE COMES CLOSE TO THEM, KISS FOREVER!!!

[vectron12]

@ChiamSimmons kiss sucks

[HugelyBig]

@ChiamSimmons

Are you for real? Because your fanboyism is totally over-the-top.

[LiquidPandles]

@ChiamSimmons You're an idiot. Gene Simmons is a great musician but isn't very innovative with his bass playing. You sir are a moron. Have a great day :)

[carpetburn23]

@ChiamSimmons the only reason they make 500 million dollars a year is because of their merchandise sales not their music

[TwistedMentality089]

EAT BASS guiTaRs AnD DIeEEeeEEEEEEee

[TheTomyossarian]

There is nothing like the expression humans exhibit when they are in complete awe of a master. If we could just get all of the greatest musicians in the world together to put on a little show for us, people would forget about the bullshit...

[cricketsinwigs]

2:34 i knew it, they're all white! that black guy sold his soul and now he has none.

[cricketsinwigs]

all i hear is treble and fucking... click clack. he's fast but he has no fucking soul!!!!! this is like... bass guitar for white people.

[hoboskater691]

@cricketsinwigs if cricketsinwigs is a douche give a thumbs up!!!

[cricketsinwigs]

@hoboskater691 james jamerson is a fucking bass player, ass wipe...

[PHILLYHEAT215]

@cricketsinwigs

because his audience happens to be white, Victor Wooten has no soul? Are you aware of how stupid you are?

[cricketsinwigs]

@PHILLYHEAT215 i don't mean literally a fucking soul you moron! i mean soul as in... soul! like james brown kinda soul not die and go to heaven soul.

[PHILLYHEAT215]

@cricketsinwigs

lol i knew what you meant. Soul as in the SUBJECTIVE DEFINITION of soul as in the sub-genre of funk/R&B/jazz. it still doesnt make sense. just because his audience is majority white it means his music isn't soulful? once again, are you aware of how stupid you are?

[cricketsinwigs]

@PHILLYHEAT215 he is not soulful because of how he plays and he is admired by white people because they are impressed by his technical abilities as opposed to a black following due to his soulfullness.

[bluebow68]

@cricketsinwigs ..southfullness..

[bluebow68]

@PHILLYHEAT215 you said stupid...

[bluebow68]

@cricketsinwigs sole.....

[christlike1984]

Victor wooten could chop a 2x4 in half with his finger strength!

[bluebow68]

@christlike1984 Yes,but can he juggle?? Ask yourself that!!!!!!!!!!!

[geitenkaasje1]

wow that guy is fast!!

[nicolaii64]

you better play on a CHILLBASS -> chillbass.fr

[dunce145]

I'll never get over how naturally warm his basses are

[FarSightGaming]

how could you dislike this video? that should be a form of mutany towords society. this brought my mine to simplicity when things are getting hectic.

[bluebow68]

@FarSightGaming ....'towords'?...'mine'..?

[Fuzzyboy1976]

he is playing bass using flamenco guitar techniques ,i do not find this amusing since i play flamenco guitar..!

[fidelius42]

@Fuzzyboy1976 And your upset he' better than u,..I find that amusing,..!

[Fuzzyboy1976]

@fidelius42 i never said he was bad or i am better than him ,,if you want to be a great bass or guitar player ,,i do reccomend to learn spanish flamenco techniques ,,it will open a whole new style of playing with endless posibilities

[fidelius42]

@Fuzzyboy1976 I agree,..classical training can greatly enhance the feel and expression that hours,...no,..a lifetime of practice can result in.Too many bassists today rely on a pick and are woefully detached from their instrument,...I look forward to our next discussion,..! P.S,..I'm a huge fan of Slava Grigoryan,..!

[Fuzzyboy1976]

@fidelius42 always love a great debate ,,this is how i make friends ,,and share and have found other groups that have become favorites of mine ,i will check out slava grigoryan as well,,!

[Fuzzyboy1976]

@fidelius42 wow ,,this Slava guy is really talented ,,great technique ,,,never heard of him until now ,,i will check out more of his unique style of flamenco playing !

[bluebow68]

@Fuzzyboy1976 Don't be offended,it won't effect your pay..By the way I play classical guitar and bass...but I am not offended by his playing!

[bigdaddytorr1]

how does he produce such great sound with his harmonics? 

[ChimeraSyndrome]

He's breaking the 1st rule of bass playing. never go past the 12th fret!

[Superhenki]

@ChimeraSyndrome whoever taught you that is a complete fucktard

[ChimeraSyndrome]

@Superhenki whoever took me seriously is a complete fucktard

[Superhenki]

@ChimeraSyndrome fu downie

[ChimeraSyndrome]

@Superhenki

eat shit communist 

[Superhenki]

@ChimeraSyndrome get aids fucking retard, im not a commie

[fidelius42]

@ChimeraSyndrome Neva heard that rule b4,...?

[ChimeraSyndrome]

@fidelius42 im starting to realise its mostly a metal community joke. and my dumbass didnt put it on a metal video

[bluebow68]

@ChimeraSyndrome Like it!!! Haaaa!!

[MrBullya]

2:25 i love it!!!!!!!!

[t168]

3:04 triplet was nasty

[BloodSugarSexMagik5]

[gugunero]

That makes me cry! Thank you Victor!

[nandakiplayer]

O..H M..Y G..O...D !!!! this guy is a god on the bass. actually, he had come to india once but i missed his concert bcos at that time i had no idea who he was.. :(

Sht wudda been awesome to see him live

[knifecollecter1971]

dang never heard of this guy, but he is amazing, All I can say is wow

[Arachnidius]

That was amazing... I've never heard of him before, I'm glad I found this and hope he gets more recognition :)

[helicopterscantdance]

30 people have cocks for eyes.

[ohnoitsmarco]

Whoaaaaaa, I've been seeing in name lots of magazines and gear catalogs but this is the first I've heard him play. I want to through my basses away now

[bluebow68]

@ohnoitsmarco ...you want to 'THROUGH' you bass away???????

[Montagraph]

That was kick ass!!!!

[broncosandtwins]

I hope everyone realizes just how difficult that was, i have seen that a thousand times, and it never gets old.

[MrFenris1349]

he makes me never want to play bass again hahah hes awsome

[sls19050]

crazy harmonics... and skillful usage of the tuning keys~

[danval069]

yehh this guys was a fucking bassman its unbelivable but wy he dont play guitar ???

[hunter1801]

@danval069 Why doesn't he play guitar?.....because he is a BASS PLAYER. That's like asking why a football player doesn't play baseball.

[TheMarkNessMonster]

@hunter1801 John Elway played football and baseball...so did Bo Jackson, or was that baseball and basketball? Either way, there you go. I play both guitar and bass, and have filled in numerous times around town where I'm from for numerous local bands needing either. I've also done drum work in studios, and mandolin work on a couple of projects. Vic plays more than bass, dude. He just chooses to allow the public to see only his bass talents...trust me on this one.

[hunter1801]

@TheMarkNessMonster Not the point of my post. I was responding to someone who was making it sound like bass wasn't as "worthy" as guitar and he should be playing guitar INSTEAD, not also. I play both bass and guitar myself.

[FarSightGaming]

@TheMarkNessMonster dude he was forming an analogy, it doesnt matter if a footbally player plays baseball hes just putting up a comparision

[TheMarkNessMonster]

@FarSightGaming And so am I...your point?

[FarSightGaming]

@TheMarkNessMonster no like you were giving proof that a football player does play baseball. thats what i was saying

[TheMarkNessMonster]

@FarSightGaming And what I said isn't an analogy because....?

[FarSightGaming]

@TheMarkNessMonster oh no i was talking about your replying comment to hunter1801 about john elway and how you fill in for band as both guitar and a bassiest.

[raleiti]

@hunter1801 guess what every bass solo by nhop is better. enjoy, no comparidon

[roidrage11]

@hunter1801 this is true, but victor wooten could probably still own most people at guitar; just like tom brady could probably still own most people at basket ball.

[teracite]

@hunter1801 yes , the people are idiot sometimes .

[MDefsquad9]

@hunter1801 actually in a interview he said sometimes plays banjo but hes no bela..lol

[sixfeetundertaken]

O>M>G!! im quitting bass...

[lunnyyy]

love the golf clap at the start

[jeronholmes]

I officially suck now

[TheSunafkin1]
