Some discussion here obviously... :) I'm not saying I'm trying to play the song like Wooten played it exactly, there are better versions of that on YouTube, this was my interpretation.
Anyhow, I'm playing this as I would be playing it on a 24 fret 4-string, except that one last G# in the end:) So, actually, it is a bit easier to play on a 4-string than on a 6-string, because you don't have those two extra strings hanging out there and trying to ring open:) This was just my bass at the moment.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think that everyone here is either blind or maybe they have no idea how a bass works. Victor Wooten plays this song on a 4 string bass. This loser is using a 6 string bass which adds 33.333333333% more strings and makes it about 66.666666666 times easier.... WEAK.
actually, I heard that "a show of hands" was not actually recorded in one take (thru only one channel) the tappin' of a 4 string bass.... I mean, have you ever heard all the details live??.... anyways this guy is better than most out there... why dont you post a video doing it with your 4 string?.... cherish music not dexterity..
you don't use you low B or high C string in this song do u? well it looks like u kinda use the C string a little...do you at all? and where did u learn this song? by ear or like from one of those victor wooten song books? and you were awesome dude!
Yo!!!! Dude you could get SOOO many girls playing like that! Do you know how any guys would love to have the talent that you have.Thanks for sharing it with us.One word.Beautiful:)
I'm a bit skeptical because of the pickup being in the middlo but yet it sounded coolio even with the lesser sound quality in the vid (No offense of course).
Wow! Amazing! this video deserves to be on my Favorites list! could you possible send me the tabs to the song please? please let me know! (private message works best)
Great job. I really like your touch. Lots of folks can play in time and play the right note but you made the song feel good to listen to. Nice job.

Why nagging on him for playin' a six string?
Can you even see him play on either the B or the C string? Cuz' I can't...
And btw, I bet michanez can't do it, even if he had 12 strings.

@bazement I just learned this, and rearranged it so that I could play it fingerstyle using all six strings on my bass, with no tapping at all.

"Hey everyone, I don't care about how a song sounds. Without technicality, what else is there?"
- jerk..Also, it's pretty clear you must a beginner at a stringed instrument, but probably like to listen to something like dream theater
BTW Excellent vid bazement. Just started learning this song myself

If someone's interested, the bass is an unmodified Yamaha RBXJM2, played through a cheap Behringer BX1200 combo with no effects used.

my first bass was an old RBX.. let me tell ya those things could survive a nuclear blast.. there really durable and very warm sounding :)
xXShmotzXx 5 years ago
I'll second that.
I started out with a lowly RBX170 and still after all the years I bring it out and show that you don't HAVE to be expensive in the world of pro bass.
Everyone, take heed!
What do I play now?
Lol still another RBX, the RBX 375 5-string active.
The battery that came with it lasted months!
