Victor Wooten Bass Solo

[xIGabrieLIx]

great

[sweetsoad]

Is there a version of this without the crowd?

[metalman1a]

it might not be the best but it is definitely my favorite

[gugunero]

I've just had an orgasm.

[davetibbs]

3:10 FTW

[mathiasmustillo]

i have to say nothing special...

[Machx72]

Let's see you do this, then.

[babin3in]

amazing harmonics

[Rouyome]

Wonderful

[gallienflea]

one thing is without doudt - you DO NOT play like this guy unless you got boundless passion for music and the certain instrument

[gallienflea]

if you don't feel the passion in this music you gotta be a f****n' retard or just jelous as heeell

[yesnoyesno52]

yeah it is pretty much just a display of technique. not much more than 30 seconds of one skill he has developed and then the next. be careful here though all you people who even have a lukewarm opinion of wooten because the muso's will come after you!! they bite!

[zezimano]

lol chack a 0:47 to 0:52.... he suck...

[PsychoCircus94]

this is great dude.......

[nuxybaby]

Very good, but John Entwistle or Jean Jaques Burnell have far more energy

[Machx72]

Playing bass isn't about having energy. Also, the type of music he's playing isn't about headbanging or running around on stage like a lunatic. I'm all for that kind of thing (being a Thrash Metalhead). The energy of the music comes from the instrument, not from the person running around a stage.

[brookerREALLYsucks]

I can't feel the energy or love from him either. I think that John Entwistle is the best bassist of all time.

[acidfrogs10]

i dont see very much love for the instrument

[acidfrogs10]

(like jaco did)

[Ichorid55]

Claypool FTW

[SOADafi]

i love Claypool too, but we should not compare bassist, for they are all great, except for the douchebag Pete Wentz, he can go die

[Machx72]

Pete Wentz isn't a bassist. He's a root-noting pile of shit who can't play his way out of a fucking basic music class.

[SOADafi]

so fucking true!

[hectorleon87]

he's very good, but I just don't feel enough energy from him. Some people here won't agree but I prefer Jaco.

[Brandt92]

He isnt good......he´s godlike!!!!!!!But not my kind of bass solo but it still totally amazing

[notafool2007]

Nice bass playing but the audience annoyed me, I hate audiences who clap along, usually they are way out of time (in part due to a little thing called the speed of sound). Also cheering over the good bits is annoying too, just save it up, and give him a massive applause when he's done!

[bassplayerboii]

wow 5\5

[alantheman898]

its not a solo tho its his song me and my bass guitar!! and to that other guy, yes he is ugly hahahaha at least he can make love to his bass

[abferrara]

WOW pure talent!!!!!!!!!

[jump102jump]

wow

[broseph4818]

i like Les Claypool way more

[broseph4818]

hes ugly

[rumtumtugger]

That man has fingers like a ps3.

I play guitar and I never even knew bass could be played like that.

[FREASHoffDAshelf07]

simply amznig

[ccoldplayy]

best solo EVER

[verdemela74]

fine playin'!watch too vincenzo maurogiovanni.ciao!

[imafriek]

i dont realli get it, fair enough he is good. but.. well a dont like it.

[Cogentesque]

I tell you what, iv'e seen this damned video about 10 or so times now, and everytime i get lulled into a groovy mood with this guy, he is very very impressive = more to the point, he can carry a groove damned well...

[88hallo88]

at jacul8: when ones begin to be a professional player ones adjust ones bass like that often, it's much more comfortable and low basses appear mostly at punk bands and stuff, coolness and so on, this is true bass-playing

[jacul8]

lmao at how high up the bass is but he plays it with passion 10points

[Klewt]

Its not "hippy faggot music" hogo, its amazing music

that is technically unbelievable and full of soul. Something you're unfamiliar with apparently.

[simonpierrep]

That's amazing! This guy is really hot!

[fatcat23]

if u want to here the whole song it's called classical thump

[fxrida]

hogo.... he does a shitload of funk

[theleg222]

i dont realy like jazz but i would go to see him play any time of the year cause of how good he is.

[CAHACHEE]

lol fukin a hoga haha im blasted

[hogo1]

Damn!! that wonder full skill of his is wasted on that hippy faggot music he plays.

I would love to see him play more funk and slap.

[polsihpirate]

suck a nub queer that shit is more musical and kickass than u can possibly imagine

[markojut]

yup, that's good

[vitor0327]

Perfect!

[TheEmeraldAngel]

anyone know the tab for this song? It's awesome

[GuitarPickinman05]

Hey kaddisonmoore, view my profile. I have a vid of Buckethead playing bass.

[jimmyjamjerusalem]

Fantastic!

[munkianis]

he just made love to that bass!!

[chuckmonday]

man u kids and ur rasism u make me sick

great video!

[dynomanslider]

victor is badass....he should play the star spangled banner at the steps of the whitehouse when we leave iraq

[Frenchfry1992]

That would be awesome....I would love to see that....

[vkere]

That's unbelievable and beautiful! .... I love music like that....

[grunnkutu]

OutsideinsidE : this is Music, u wanne be a racist go to your kkk club or something, this man here is a bass player with a black skin, not a nigger.just have some respect maybe u get some respect back..

[waudaru]

Amazing Grace, what a beautiful song

[GuitarPickinman05]

This guy is good, but Claypool and Buckethead are better.

[kaddisonmoore]

bucketheads a guitarist you moron

[schkkregger]

l steban ta enamorao de ste video y del negrit

[BluFunkrules]

this is so fantastic. just a big shame that almost every thing is so low quality here on youtube:( Vic is the best!!

[siquierocerveza666]

I don't think anybody cares what you think, illiterate redneck.

[TheTradge]

Okay, you have every right to have opinions about bassists, but that racist remark was out of order!

[jbassman4]

fuck you you piece of shit redneck fucker

[Onthenight88]

Dont say Claypool isnt better then Wooten, its all opinion. some of this sounds very displeasing to the ear, other parts sound very pleasing, but I certainly would'nt say this is the best solo ever.

[thefew]

HOLY SHIT

[Welshhomie]

haha sheehan sucks. He's the Batio of bass, he plays fast, just to show he can. Not saying thatsn not true of Wooten, but Wooten gets it to sound good

[wowlett]

What an incredible musician. The techniques he uses are phenomonally difficult, and even when he plays very quickly the notes are still clean. The man is a genius.

[bassmasta7]

lmao are these guitar players or drummers or non-musicians that are tellin victor freakin wooten to get bass lessons either that or the retards were at the library again

[iamjason]

John Entwistle and he is the best.

[iamjason]

and marcus miller as well..

[Splin73r]

Respect.

period

[PaszerXRatiug]

He doesn't use a five string because HE DOESN'T NEED IT.

This guy eats bass for breakfast, lunch, dinner, second breakfast, elevties,tea, dessert, and gets it fed introvenusly(sp?) while sleeping.

I'd like to see a bass off between him and claypool.

Nobody would win. the earth would probobly explode before either messed up.

[maddermofo]

technically victor is better than flea but that doesn't mean jack shit.I love both of them equally.Flea is an insane,creative and gifted musician.Vic is also the creator of extreme grooves.Look at lines like 'give it away' or 'nobody weird like me'...they went down in bass history

[gautamon]

truly one of the bass gods... RESPECT!

[Jamieakasuperman]

i play electric, but so much respect for him!

[shortysk8er932]

5 or 6 strings dont make u better... its all about comfort and reference they add more variety but usually a four string does it for most... and my favorite bassist is hands down claypool lol

[Callmekevo]

look up billy sheenan. find the 8 ish minute long video. i like sheenan better than claypool =] but thats just my opinion.

[itsthenathan]

I wonder why he doesnt use a 5 string

[mattb1191]

he is such the man

[ForzaAzzurri123]

i hate him

i should go practice now

[Harbec]

very elegant.

[extraguitarist]

Flea's dad is a pro jazz bassist and better than Flea.

but he doesn't do his shows just in his underwear, so he's not as famous.

[LedZeppelinRox98]

Flea is my favorite bass player no doubt but victor wooten IS more talented. somethin bout fleas sound just is my favorite

[Nilas89]

Seriously, I've had it with Flea, he's a good bassplayer, but he's not as good as everyone makes him to be! Seriously, there are better bassplayers than him!

[xXxTriggerHappYxXx]

Its not that he is the best, its just how he combines a lot of different elements into his music and style. Wooten is just a freaking god. And no, Claypool isn't better than Wooten

[girotube]

WHO THE HECK IS FLEA!?? LMAO!

Some people love to read their own junk jokes on the net!

If some of you can't grasp the musical depth, bass tech' and beauty on that video... I'm so sorry for you...

[sinogaya]

home on the range????

[sliptide]

Dude thats fucking Amazing Grace, not home on the range....

[alecjahn]

No?

[schaissfreak]

newsted is old and gay:Dthis guy s awesome!

[Awesomecacky]

Newsted would kick his ass. w.e

[Metalguy]

betcha dollars to donuts he's got a drum track playing in the ear buds. Keeps him in line with the beat.

[cleotube]

why do people compare anybody to flea? he's is mediocre

[scarface122]

one or two parts sounds like crap me thinks

but the rest is wonderful great vid

[themaskedpantsman]

beautiful and brilliant.

[Thriph]

Wooten is definitely better than Flea, that I agree. But you can't possibly compare Wooten with Claypool. Because Claypool can play Tommy the Cat and sing at the same time, but I doubt Wooten can play and sing at the same time. But in terms of technique, Wooten's better.

[pizzicato16]

Actually if you see Wooten live with his band he does play and sing at the same time. He's a horrible singer, but he does do it.

[nick003]

hes better than flea from the chili peppers but not as good as les claypool from primus hes somewhere in the middle of those two guys

[Willwrc]

"this guy needs bass lessons" ok, I will be waiting for you to message me when you post a video of yourself playing that out does this video, thanks.

[stephWTF]

I'm thinking he was being sarcastic.

[Willwrc]

maybe so, Im jsut so used to jerk comments on youtube its hard to tell. lol

[possuminthecorn]

listen to "me and my bass guitar" by vic

it proves hes on of the best bass players

[teraaaasy]

this guy needs bass lessons

[homy9015]

Maybe you do.

[XIIIX]

Lol to proto..:This guy kicks asss :P, Really good bass playin there

[ProtoCosmos]

He could use a few lessons. Maybe if he practiced a lot,in a few years he could probably be good enough to join a band.

[klysandral]

no. shut up. youre not funny.

[Fivestring879]

That is awsome.

[spockomatic]

It exists a practice video where he explains all these Techniques. Victor Wooten bass lesson. It´s about an hour and very (i´m german and i don´t know the adverb for if you can learn a lot ;-))

[viper722]

educational? is that the word your thinking of?

[CadaverousEyes]

This is accually part of classical thump, then he breaks into amazing grace.

[timwilliams09]

Do you know where to get hold of the thump?

[CadaverousEyes]

As far as I know, there isn't accually any videos of Victor playing the whole classical thump, the only one ive seen is about 30 seconds long, which is only the intro that everyone on this site seems to attempt.

[robfly]

i could watch him for hours.

[FrankyTenFingers]

fuckin' hell... that's what i'm talking about!
