Victor Wooten bass groove workshop exercises part1

[porschiste911]

I want him to jam with Flea!

[00zmb00]

Wellington + Wooten = far too epic for one room

[JeuneGen]

Does anybody know the name of the bass player he's playing with ?

[6stringfunk]

@JeuneGen Anthony Wellington.

[BenjaminBreeg1876]

a god on bass, best one

[slowmofosho]

@ 2:10 aww yeah

[highintel]

Best 3 hrs I have ever spent on learning music!!!

If you want technique and melody take guitar lessons... you want to learn how to play music...take bass from Vic...haha

[cavesloth]

@highintel 3hrs?! - Nice one man, it took me 3 days to perfect this! hahaa

[highintel]

@cavesloth oh I will be working on it the rest of my life trying to perfect it..lol But the full workshop is about 3 hrs long.

[InuSama95]

Thumbs up if you thing YouTube needs to step up their audio capabilities. I'm tired of hearing that annoy chirp sound that's created from the low frequencies YouTube can't handle.

[MrPointless]

@InuSama95 Not a problem I have noticed with - if I say so myself - my rather good setup - but what kind of speakers or headset are you playing the audio through? That would have a huge impact on the sound quality. Another problem could be that you are playing the videos in less than 480p (where applicable) - a higher resolution video almost always comes with better sound, due to less compression.

[leandrohenriqueL]

meu Deus vcs são de mais graças a vcs eu vo estuda baixo eu sei guitarra violão violino cavaco mas agora quero baixo vcs são minha inspiração...

[surfertron20000]

God damn... why wasn't I born black. At least then I wouldn't look like a scrawny white guy with an oversized guitar.

[timkick2]

God dammit he's setting us white bass players back a million years

[HaiTriPPy]

Holy mid range batman

[BloodOnValentinesDay]

i just love this :D

[TimAven33]

2:17 they all look like they want to quit.



[TheCookiekelly]

if im ever tempted to move to guitar, i watch the first minute of this video. haven't changed yet

[gamewildkid]

What was rhe name of that song

[pmgallant]

@gamewildkid It may just have been a nameless jam, but it also sounded a lot like an Alicia Keys song.

[mdem1234]

@pmgallant the jam is based off of one of vic's songs, entitled "Aris Eyes"

[corpselikeangel]

It's just like me and my style of playing, it may not be for everybody, thats fine, I just feel as if there are better bassists out there that aren't getting justice, im just not blown away from what he's doing, and thats ok!

[tommy7528]

True eargasm.

[iplayerbass]

Esse Vitor Wooten é fera msm, assim como Marcus Miller que é outra lenda viva do bass também!

[alexbunardzic]

This performance just melts your heart. What an amazing musician! He completely transcends the bass guitar, as he is using it to sing his heart out. Major, major talent!

[92Krod]

dont worry people about the negative comments...haters gonna hate, and we can enjoy the music

[corpselikeangel]

Overrated! Adjust your action, do something with your tone, and quit showing off something that is nothing more than crap lead playing, seriously! Write a bass line under a piece of music that has a full band, thats where the talent is, not this wanking off bullshit!

[paulys461]

@corpselikeangel You a bit mad because you can't play like wooten huh?

[Fuith]

@corpselikeangel Never heard of the Flecktones then?

[92Krod]

@corpselikeangel this man has more talent than you could ever imagine achieving in your small world...shut up and go listen to your shitty nickelback albums and if you dont like it dont come here

[JusticieroDeLaMuerte]

@corpselikeangel That's why he's there playing with everybody while you watch him at home.

[Bushie1988]

thank god .. i came here from some overly technical 80's hair metal looking dude doing eruption etc on the bass that sounded like he was on crack , no grove at all, these dudes know how to grove.

[xBAMFxMonatage]

Tabs please.

[1997padfoot]

Victor Wooten............enough said

[fallingindrive]

Anybody else think the bottom of his neck was a pick guard?

[09393715892]

Amazing!!



[Bigb671]

Fucking beautiful.

[corpselikeangel]

I don't get it, id rather see a bassist like Geddy Lee up there showing these guys whats up! Besides, both their tone sucks!

[Fretless19942]

@corpselikeangel You don't know shit about bass, shut the fuck up.

[vitormbf18]

@corpselikeangel Geddy Lee = Speed, and nothing more

[ruffd777]

That sounds slot like the song, reach out and touch somebodies hand.

[TSonchai]

I agree Wooten is the Master!

[l0r3nz0m]

fuck fake fuck music

[adrian5b]

Tell Billy Sheehan to get this workshop

[DoubleDz2k11]

hes such an awesome bass player he has a supporting bass player

[jmt1000]

WHY CAN'T I STOP WATCHING THESE VIDEOS!!!!

[stevenroy747]

wat is that that on the bass like a black rubber band ?

[bernardparlaungan]

@stevenroy747 That's hairgrip functioning as string damper. Common stuff for guitarist and bassist

[dkjayjay]

can i use the word 'beatiful' ?

[Razmuz12]

@dkjayjay No, but "beautiful" ;D

[goddamnit666a]

Haha gotta love this stuff. It's like seinfeld in a bottle

[cai038ify]

i hate it that most bass players are underrated it's such a great instrument

[bp6cjo45]

We guitarist must pay some respect to those bassist !!!

[ApothakarY]

these guys are like the bass gods, with wise words of wisdom of playing bass. kinda mind blowing if you ask me.

[SamuelHorler]

Love the brofist at the end!

[outcold19]

Wow

[CanineHero]

the "hell yeah!" moment at the end is awesome :D



[LordHines420]

1:42 fucking each other musically. and they just came.

[MrWebb567]

chuck norris just admitted victor wooten is better than him at bass

[Jersildj00]

2:12 the brofist heard round the world

[TheTomasito1971]

I love 1:27 <3

[mendelejev0]

his music is truly a language

[BigJarrhead777]

i just threw up cause he is so good

[Tarasepp]

Man I wish I was good enough at guitar to just have a buddy over and jam like that. damn man. so good.

[johnrtgrs]

I love black people.

[LordHines420]

@johnrtgrs and black people love bass.

[Hednaskald]

His use of silences and downtimes is brilliant.

[truthslap]

Wow, I didn't notice the harmonics used in the beginning and end until I listened to this with headphones, what an incredible performance.

[paulopvpaulo]

Simple Amazing!"!! This harmonics are  O.O

[fuckenmike]

[89sexpanther]

Victor Wooten overrated? Go fuck yourself.

[JPJHDD]

@89sexpanther Victor Wooten overrated?

OMG that‘s a blasfem!

[laiholapso]

@89sexpanther when someone says cliff burton is god that's overrated when

someone says victor whooten is god, they call that underrated!!

[luixmedia]

O.o!

Amazing...

[ClassicRockMan95]

he may be overrated, but he's a fantastic bass player

[Yourboysnacks]

@ClassicRockMan95 Overrated- overestimate: a calculation that results in an estimate that is too high.

So now that we have the definition of the word overrated, what makes you think that Vic is "overrated" ?

[chicodificil25]

este man es el ronaldiño del bajo, es un genio en su arte, un monstruo..!! excelenteeee!!

[dickyyipmaytoo]

[sznj94]

[gooferman609]

[markosgraveyard]

[Basstard22]

It's unbelieveble how 2 musicians can get 1 with their bass. Just closing their eyes and play along. Very impressive!

[PRINCEz50]

[EAdashC]

PLEASE TELL ME THAT WAS NOT IMPROVISED. IF IT WAS, THERE'S NO POINT TRYING ANYMORE...

[MaxShlochz]

@EAdashC

I'm almost 100% sure that was improv, it's not that hard to improvise, it's hard to improvise like Wooten but keep trying, learn the chords and scales and you'll see how easy it is.

[awfulguitarplucker]

@EAdashC YOU WONT BE HANDLING THE TRUTH! 

[awfulguitarplucker]

is it my ears or the chord line was so similar to "if i ain't got you " of Alicia Keys? ..and in the case that was, victor and his pal re-interpreted it THOUSANDS times better than teh original

pure friggin SHIVERS! <3

[panconquesoderretido]

I definetly love his smoothness

[FLUFFYPHANT]

[GDT1124]

[cursedswordsman]

[willy1986tralara]

[TheNovaBassist]

[richroach1]

I agree about 2:13!!!



[stix471]

[MynamesNOTDevon]

@stix471 and flea



[TheGus619]

@stix471

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

[TheParadox1369]

[xxxdeadmunkxxx]

@TheParadox1369 ohh yeah man ure right XD

[adi123marsha]

unsynced, lol.

but thx for uploading anyway

[cjwilly1]

'Soul Food'...anything that 'touches' the Soul like this does, takes you to a new height of inner pleasure that surpasses any sensual pleasure....

[alonescool]

even when he fucks up it sounds almost like a fart from God

[europica]

Fantastic  stuff, loved the way they "shook" hands afterwards. Their playing has a feeling that cannot be described in words.

[Kcducttaper1]

What's the box on top of Victor's bass head? It doesn't look like a compressor.

[JoshIsNumber3]

@Kcducttaper1 it's the "overrated" generator that lets him make generic music that morons drool at.

[clancywiggam]

@JoshIsNumber3 Hahaha, I like it. Too many reach arounds on this page.

[JesnBass]

This is So Relaxing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BASSISTPROMUSIC]

THE NEO SOUL BB

[DLiuUMD]

He makes guitarists wish that they played bass

[andrewbautista23]

1:50 is like a sound from the heavens.

[ID0ntNeedANick]

i love his dvd!

its amazing!

[The60sMusicman]

what kind of bass brand are they playing?

[forbiddensociety]

@The60sMusicman Both are using Fodera basses. Anthony is using a Fodera Emperor I believe. Victor is using his Fodera Yin Yang bass.

[abmendoza1]

@The60sMusicman it looks like their playing monarch basses!!!!!!!

[CreepyMuffinMapper]

the steve vai of bass xD

[The95bass]

what is it both Victor and the other bassist have ont the top of the necks :O victor have it on the head but the other bassist have it on the 2# (dont know the word) on the neck :S??????????????

[LOGDDPMATR]

@The95bass looks like a hairband to make the sound more clean

[forbiddensociety]

@The95bass It's used to dampen the strings while they play :)

[The95bass]

@forbiddensociety  yeah, but whats the name of the thing?? :S

[forbiddensociety]

@The95bass I'll read what it says quoted from this month's Bass Player Magazine. I keep saying it's a hard scrunchy haha. Which basically it is. "I put a ponytail holder around the neck of my bass, just in front of the nut, to clean up some of the ringing. I've also been experimenting with it. If you slide it halfway up the fingerboard, like a capo, you can still play normal notes above it--but behind it you get these weird dead notes that bring out a different timbre of the instrument"

[The95bass]

@forbiddensociety 

[The95bass]

@forbiddensociety okey. thanks :D!!!!!

[frank12364]

@The95bass fret... thats the word ur looking for haha 2# fret

[The95bass]

@frank12364 thanks! but it was the name of the hairband-thing i was looking for :P

[Humandavid1]

The bass is an instrument like any other. I don't know why anyone would say that it has no place soloing or should not be played by itself. It has a character, too.
