Me and My Bass Guitar by Victor Wooten

[M2Mstudios8710]

thi song makes my ears ooze funk juice!!!

[xman247]

Fact: no white person could ever do this.

[malicant123]

This is just too funky

[NAAADES]

After 5:18 this song totally sucks!

[Numonkei]

Why are these lyrics considered silly? They're like something Will Smith would have done if he was a bass virtuoso.

[Spyder21458]

You can not dislike this

[mrsatanicbassist]

i dont feel worthy enough to listen to this song

[clix411]

saw him do this live. amazing :D

[MetalJack1337]

simply amazing!

[jsweenie13]

that guy can play the bass but man these are the nerdiest lyrics I have ever heard.

[KISSANIMALIZED]

He's my idol... :D

[HiImJerry8]

my name is vic and im gonna play a little trick, im gonna play my bass without using a pick

hahahaha thats creativity

[Quayn05]

@HiImJerry8 ...LOL!!!



[BboyNikRo69]

@HiImJerry8 Man who cares, he´s not a songwriter but a great musician with exordinary bass skills.

[littledmandan]

He was slappin' that bass guitar fast and loose like some kind of delirious funky priest.

[illfortune921]

@littledmandan boosh rocks

[bankaibuddy15]

2 people play guitar

[mistahowe]

2 people are hell spawn

[jimmyhoffasbrother]

I'm going to steal Victor Wooten's soul so that I can have a shred of his talent

[DaveWilsonFBC]

The best slapman in the world!!!!!! Absolutely N.1!!!

[donsolo00]

You can't hold no groove if you ain't go no pocket.

[TheGreywolf005]

GENIUS

[miniski5]

i just realized that when i play this i do it too fast and don't let it groove enough. now i wonder how thats possible...

[CptRickzorito]

@miniski5 ya man, the song almost fells like a rottweiler on a leash, you really need to hold it back

[ssj4morpheus]

oh wow 2:26 to 2:31.....holy shit!!

[oye2a2000]

I just had a 'funkgasm'

[NymphetamineOrPacMan]

how can you dislike this??

[Jackypop21]

I saw Victor play this live last night, it was amazing. He is truly a genius.

[funknowledgy]

"FUNK is it's own reward" - George Clinton. This truly funky.

[theoldgeneration]

amazing

[Reaper271]

2 people should get a 5 string bass shoved up their ass

[mysterydego]

@Reaper271 id say a 6 string

[akalbj]

@Reaper271 with a whammy bar

[SebinusPremier]

@akalbj I know a better type of bass for this kind of use... type "penis bass" in google

[itsapns]

ive played with him

[kittykiller5408]

man he sucks

[qwerki666]

@kittykiller5408 Yeah,in the sense that Primus sucks.

[notamillionare]

@squishy949 the bass is easy.... to be bad at. :P

[MONKEY5689]

@notamillionare ?

[FUCKMETALHEADPOSERS]

Wow, just wow.

[JSeed44]

Incredible...I don't know any bassists who can be good as this dude.

[hellkidgreenday]

is victor wooten singing? :O

[cloud663]

@hellkidgreenday it is Victor singing

[squishy949]

Simply awesome.

If anyone ever tries to tell me the bass is easy, I just link them to this album and a couple of primus songs.

Sorts 'em out goooood

[DJSoyBoy]

Seinfeld

[gz4txb]

I'm just takin' my bass out for a spin, if you know what i'm sayin'.

:D

[rockpop1]

playing the bass is the shit victor wooten is the god of bass players

[awesomososo]

Theres so many arguments about whos the best bass player, but no one mention one of the greatest, James jamerson.

[dispatchx311]

wooten isnt better then claypool and claypool isnt better then wooten, they are both ridiculous

[SirJohnathan]

@dispatchx311 Yeah, once you get to players THAT good, it really comes down to personal taste. It's easy to say Wooten is better than, say, Eric Judy (though I still like Modest Mouse), but Wooten and Claypool? They are so good it's impossible to say one is technically better than the other, merely that they play different styles.

[luc1f3r1s]

@dispatchx311 wooten is better, other than that I will not comment on the best. But better than Victor is not even feasible

[dispatchx311]

@luc1f3r1s how is wooten better? if your gonna play that game claypool is more original,unique, and innovative than wooten

[tcstabler]

@dispatchx311 I am Les Claypool's number one fan, I even met him but Victor Wooten can do so much that Les Claypool has never attempted and Vic is just a bass god

[MrDrSirNolanJrThe2nd]

orgasmic

[Bssmxx57]

He intimidates the hell out of me. haha

[Philfa]

You know where I are.

[rotteneggproductions]

not to be picky or anything this so kicks ass but show of hands is from 1996 and what did he say is from 1997

[omgwtfbbqalekx]

1:39 feels like sex.

[mcshfiftyfive55]

yo Wooten is amazing. I love claypool, but wooten has more technicallity, there is an actual style. wooten is beter, but still they both are legends

[DarkZekeX]

@mcshfiftyfive55 why do you need to even argue which is better. I'm happier knowing that there are a ton of fantastic bass players past and present who all bring unique sensibilities to the instrument, and show just how versatile it can be.

[brunnerdudes]

first 20 seconds sounds a bit like primus

[hyperblade416]

man, you know it's really hard to make a bass guitar to sound good alone. most solos have at least drums but this is just bass and vocals and that's what i really respect about this. amazing.

[victorartagao]

U know....this guy is amazing...... i am headbanger, i like thrash and death metal.......i ve never heard a lot of jazz or fusion or funk music, but i love almost all musics from his solos CDs....i am a bass player, and have to say that this guy destroys ALL metal bassists that i know, including Cliff Burton (RIP) and Steve Digiorgio

[Dulac91]

i love that bass part at "i don't go to far"

great

[CooleyCoolenson]

jesus... ok so just PLAYING this insane!! much less singing at the same time!!! man he is just amazing

[DavidAids]

This is really jaw-droppingly amazing.

[HCadrenaline]

damn...ive been learning this song for like 3 hours straight, i got the tapping down but the right hand is hard...

[olithestrangish]

Try slowing it down when playing, after about 30 minutes or an hour, you'll have it down, then you just need to build up the speed. Good Luck!

[JMACBIGMACJ]

fuckin very impressive, the bass lines and vocals are one of a kind and i dont even really dig this style

[YNGWIERADIO]

i dig it it makes me wanna drink coffee for some odd reason

[JAD3889]

@YNGWIERADIO casue you probably here this kind of music on college campuses and cafes. lol.

[jacktierney0]

ridiculous! this man is a god of 4 string!

[tulilintu]

COOOOOOOOOL!! Magic with a bass..

[petar1987]

This is too funky... :D

[gz4txb]

@petar1987 waaay too funky ;)

[rockpop1]

@petar1987 its never to funky :)

[arnbassbaritone]

He is black

[BrutalEpicMetal]

There are just as many good white bass players out there as there is black bass players, les claypool is a beast.

[myhouseisyourpants]

ya but u should know he cant touch victor. nothin to do with race, he's just the best.

[Daenoxiis]

He's taken some simple techniques that he's developed, and advanced them and perfected them.

However, on a matter of personal preference, I prefer Stanley Clarke, Vic is the man of electric though.

[dbskateteam]

i can respect that

[shotdonkey]

try "awakening" by les claypool and then tell me again that wooten is "better", "best", whatever...

sure ain`t got nothin` to do with race, you`re damn right there, though. ;-)

[str8uphomo]

claypool is good but no one has anything on wooten. Go through wootens discography. I can play anything by primus on bass but I can't touch most of wootens stuff.

[canadaown15]

incredible

[Zco4cuerdas]

2:27 OMG

[Tandunic]

I got no words..unbelievably funk!

[Ramis1337]

you damn right it is:) funky groove and everything else

[mrmadman86]

2:26 :O

[bluebassC5]

this is just such a funky groove. its a great work with a great instrument.

[theestever]

I'm gay

[theestever]

The little fuck that posted this comment while I was out of the room WILL be made to pay.

[jrodbball03]

haha, fair enough...

[theestever]

And pay he did - a few nights ago he left his facebook profile unattended for long enough for me to wreak my revenge! :)

[Codroy17]

so 80's? this came out in 97.

[SonOfAkORn]

awesome!!!

[tylermassie]

Whoever this, Codroy17 guy is, he has a great taste in music!

[jepesuzette]

too funky

[smsguitarist]

i know! it's great!
