Amazing speed bass guitar battle ...

[wetmelon]

Could you not hear that he was still staying in the same key? lol.. that's insane :P

[MonkeyMike96]

ya dude im sure these guys are like amazing but idk man when the guitar player was just smacking his fretboard like really hard with both hands idk how there could be technique in that

[panchex2]

que mierda les dan de comer a esos pata tocan de la ptm..

[samfukunishi]

2.12 fkn rules

[TechnicolorWrench]

after 1:30 it started to suck

[quantolo]

1:39-1:48 MUSIC. They're probably is a lot of technique youtube too slow to catch, but the sound seems a bit lacking.

[916dragonforce]

sounds like random noises to me... and their hands like like fucked up frag grenades.

[nevari91]

hello, what the name of the song of the riffe at 1 min 15s please ;-) sorry for my english

[bamelementskate]

that would be the rollercoaster of love...spread em around...

[nevari91]

thank you

[panayiotis131]

Well you know what, other people have SOCIAL skills! Suck on this, Wootins!

[illusionmofo]

This is SOOO not finger tapping..at least...it sounds like it's in that category..it's probably called carelessly making music..with God's help of a miracle.

[DODGERFAN3894]

they are just randomly hitting the guitar and the bass. but it sounds good.

[KonguAwesome]

nah the bassist is playing a song called bass is my art. look up awesome bassist here on youtube and that bassist is playing that song. he's amazing

[CiscoMcLovin]

wats with the wristsbands on da guitar?

[MischaFD]

That's a capo.

[Smilerdave]

It's to mute the strings when he is tappingI think.

[fargon123]

Bassist definitely won

[GuitarGeek112]

does anyone know what regi is actually doing in this video? it looks like he is just slapping his guitar, but I'm sure there is some sort of musical theory behind it.

[m0b00st]

I believe that the technique is called "finger tapping". There may be another name for it, but thats what I've seen it referred to as.

[m0b00st]

Nevermind...I replied before I got to the part in the video that you were talking about. It really did just look like slapping, I have no idea what else to call that.

[scjohnk]

I call it garbage

[devinlane256]

bass player was alright Ive heard better, guitar playing was drizzling shitz

[Sabored]

you've heard better? this is Victor Wooten... I'd like to hear better...

[gabi326jjk]

I've heard wayy better lol

[Sabored]

He is the only person to be voted best bassist of the year more than once, he was voted 3 times in a row.

[gabi326jjk]

so? that just means people only know him, most people are music noobs too, billy sheehan, masaki, taiji sawada, all better then him, this guy is just some funk bassist, their are millions like him

[Sabored]

he's not a funk bassist totally, thats just in this video, he's also a soloist and plays some amazing shit on a 4 string. And he is based soley on bass, while it looks like billy sheehan,masaki,and taiji sawada could all also rip a guitar

[gabi326jjk]

so your saying its good only to play bass? I would think your a better musician if you played not only 1 instrument

[Sabored]

well no, but i thought we were talking about bassists, eddy van halen can play like 6 instruments but he is amazing at guitar and that makes him a guitarist, most of the guys you said to watch were playing the bass like a guitar.

[gabi326jjk]

I know taiji is a damn good guitarist but billy and masaki is true bassist, and masaki doesn't play guitar at all

[bassboy43]

They did it for fun cause they are brothers.

[HighVoltageVids]

lol. at 1:38 the guitarist is like F*** it! and starts randomly hitting the guitar out of anger.

[RichardGT3]

OMG this is the most amazing thing i seen in the last 15 minutes (when i see another victors video)

[provindentiae]

the bassist is alot better the guitarist just hits notes not really hard to slap neck of guitar atleast the bassist plays notes that go together

[Antitheology]

Is that guy using scrunchy's as capos?

[blackseedsofvengance]

RAP BATTLE!

[sharpster200]

This proves bass rules all!

[FlippyCatProductions]

that's amazing i need him in mah band lmao

[provindentiae]

this is goo the bassit is better atleast u can hear wat he plays

[MarchingBlueNGold]

Both sound really cool, but i think the bass wins

[McCrazyOnline]

1:36 - This looks and sounds stupid..

The other guy is muuuuch bether, he can handle a bass.

[pires4]

yeah but he totally owns the other dude at 1:13 :)

[wurgdwerg]

totally agree.

It sounded just like it looked. random slapping on the neck. o.O

[falloutMAN84]

does anyone know the name of the bassist

[panicsunnypanic]

victor wooten

[adnap123]

When in doubt... hit the guitar -_-'

[Shinbo23]

its called slap bass, but yeah there was a part where the guy was goofing off

[Paradox1618]

The guitar sounds bad to those who can't accept the new and original.

His rythm is flawless.

It's another vision of how to play it.

Live with it.

Keep your mouth shut unless you got something smart and well documented to say.

[re4zach666]

Guitar sounds dumb but the bass is cool

[Haukemitgitarre]

the bass is amazing really... the guitar is more like a fucking destroyed toaster...slapping might not be the best technic for e-guitar :)

[foreverfart64]

SO FREAKEN AMAZING

[ebayrules24]

what are the wristband things on his bass?

[bevski209]

I think it's a capo

[H3nn15]

I don't think so... these things are actually sliding up and down (2:23)

I think it's something like palm-muting... but with wristbands instead of the palm..

[Unseenbucket]

its all great playing fast and speed bass but there's no real rhytm or groove or tune to it.

[Eltroim]

well thats the whole idea i suppose.

[BLACKMAGICMETALMAN12]

I can see the guy on the guitar's awesome,but he could play alot better than that.

[MetalMasterFerret]

Buckethead and Les Claypool have a looooong way to go... fucking amazing!

[xXSuzakuXx]

Kenan & Kel :D

[staubfc]

the guy with the fender stratocaster, is "SLAPPIN DA.. ELECTRIC GUITAAARRRR!!!" The other one is "SLAPPIN DAH BBEEEEAAASSSSSSSS!"

[zZFingerZz]

@ 2:33 = best Groove Ive ever heard, he really

"Felt the Groove when playing"

[phalarias]

OMG....AMAZING!

[ihategeorgedubyabus]

[srvanjoy]

[iuliusguitarpro]

[xxBEASTLYxJAMxx]

[deadmanluigi]

[kill38p]

[beatbox12345674]

[WalkerMacd393]

[fralgiemo]

[zerocell911]

[dimmiedrummer]

This is amazing beyond victory.

[volcomnater11]

[codydean10]

[imLEGIT9]

the non hobo-looking black dude is actually pretty good. just sayin

[Warlord313]

That will be Victor's brother. He taught Victor everything he knows. Give major credit when due.

[DISMEMBERMENT09]

2:22 - 2:33. What the hell is that dude was just making noise

[Rhysinator19]

fuck all you jealous dog fuckers

[0oDISTURBEDo0]

1:12 - 1.25 is cool but the rest sounds like an dieng elephant especially 1:35 - 1:48, he just hiting his fucking guitar!!!

[Duncon1981]

Someone learn the niggers that guitars arent ment to be slapped..

[UltimateitemHacker]

"Learn the ni**ers", nice grammar there genius.

[Duncon1981]

[grim973]

[Duncon1981]

[Xorium]

[CtrlAltDaLEET]

[chip2munk]

I love the marvel t-shirt!!!!

[JWFcrazedguitarman]

This is why black people don't play guitar

[polneroff]

Jealous, because they make you look like a clumsy talentless sack of flesh?

'cos you sure sound it.

Go back to hitting those 4 chords with poor rhythm .

[BabyPleaseDontCry]

[USFMikeA]

the guy w/out the hat looks like the black power ranger from back in the day.

[uberguy9]

Victor Wooten is the bassist without the hat and ya kind of.

[AcidHead27]

the problem is, he was hammering to much, and it was far too hi for anyone to recall what the fuck he just played xD

[franzlover123]

1:14 it sounds like love rollercoaster! :D

[NTXC8ING]

dude!! What The Fuck

[desmondgoosen]

Wonder what the drummer can do?

[sponboy]

LMAO!

[guitarplr145rrpt]

I think this is way hot. I'll bet they did it on the road and could do the exact same note for note. Top notch musicians.

[kermitek91]

That ain't a drum ;P. I wonder how many people told them that they confused instruments ;P. Hahah

[METALxALEX]

[Jan73463]

[mravendamanomen]

Not supposed to slap a guitar? Since when are there rules for what you can and can't do? Maybe you should check out Fred Frith sometime...or maybe just stay stuck in your closed minded little world of can and can't do's.

[skejtboi]

2:13 to 2:21 he got owned!

[Psycho69People]

OMFG awesome bass!

It's funny the guitarist slaps too, it sounds cool

[logz11]
