@beejaypyoo There are some harmonics on a (fretted) bass that can be easily slided. The easiest one would D to E on the G-string. Which doesn't take away that my mind was blown by the entire video nonetheless. Wooten is just too good for our small human minds. (i apologize for my bad english)
I saw a video where he talked about he was talking about how he did this slide. He said he hit the harmonic with his right hand which left his left to bend the note while staying on the fret.
my dad says I should try to learn this. No way. Im 13! And if u have a bass cabinet, I hoghly suggest trying to run it thru there, u get the full effect.
@ignoremenoworelse two diffrent forms of music he doesent have to play metal too b good which im sure he could do. this is his music and he kicks ass at it. can u play? no so u have no right to critasize somethin u cnt do
@princekai1 Wow! I thought the same exact thing! I had the opportunity to see him live. He is hands down the best bass player, better than any metal bass player. He is much more impressive live, this is nothing compared to what he can do at a concert.
Wow! Brought out all the jealous white guy's out there ,this guy is one of the best bass players around right now ,if you can't appreciate it (his talent) why look at it? Oh wait! Maybe because you did like it??? jackasses! Get a life you low life's!
He's a very talented bass player, but SERIOUSLY this is fucking BORING... maybe it's just me, but the majority of this video is extremely unentertaining
@TheSchwank That's pretty ignorant, I mean aside from more old school rap & the occasional pop song those aren't my thing, but you shouldn't criticise people for liking them. To be fair the guy does take note of the talent as well, it's just not to his liking..
i can imagine victor writing a song where he plays the bass, guitar, drums, piano, trumpet, and vocals... all at the same time... all on that there bass right there.
A man goes to a pacific island. He notices the constant sound of drumming. He asks a native how long the drumming will go on. The native says "very bad when drumming stops." Later that day the drumming is still going on. He asks another native when the drumming will stop. "Very bad when drumming stops," he says, and runs off. After a couple of days the man had enough. He grabs a native, slams him against a tree, and shouts, "What happens when the drumming stops?" The native replies, "Bass solo"
@mrMetalH3aD i aint black but there is nuthin wrong whit them >:( i would love to be 1 myself :) its proven that Black people got more rythem and Victor is The perfect example :)
