one time my 60 year old mom went to out to eat. she asked if i wanted to go and i declined. when she came back she said that she had recognized victor wooten from some video she had seen of him and eaten lunch with him and some sax player named jeff. so that was a bummer.
@Dmoneylittrell it is called a harmonic. you just barely touch the string as you pluck it.. if you are just wanting to learn how to do them i would suggest starting on the twelfth fret. it is easiest there.
@elgangsterchido Hell yeah. a realist. finally someone who doesnt come onto a Victor Wooten video going "yeah....I can play that." practice man, that's what made victor this good. practice and God given talent
@joedude523 I've heard it's pretty much the same as sliding a regular note. The problem is it's only supposed to be possible on a fretless bass, or atl east way easier. I have absolutely no clue on how he does it on one with frets. Having such an expensive bass might make a difference. On better basses harmonic tones that usually don't come out great, like the one on the 3rd fret, sound an awefull lot better. And ofcourse the fact that he's got more talent then any of us might help.
I saw him live in Fort Wayne, IN. at Sweetwater Music Center. Bass clinic. MOST AMAZING NIGHT OF MY LIFE. Really really nice guy shorter than I thought but hell plays that bass like speaking english it's just natural for him :)
He plays the bass in so many different ways. He feels the music, that's something I like! I'm gonna keep playing bass, this guy just inspired me! Greetings from Puerto Rico!
when i first watched this video, i thought i would never be able to play like him. The key guys is constant rehearsals. Victor made me play the bass because i was a lead guitarist when i watched his videos.....i call him agbalagbi
I've looked up too and admired Victor Wooden ever since I started playing bass. The man is disgusting, that's all I can say, to have that level of bass playing...wow.
@yeyforoxygen thing is not playing, at all :) the point is writing it, creating it(this version) and presenting it.. there are millions of bassists (me2) around the world can play victa's stuff but the point is creating this version and presenting it with his own way..
@efestombulsise it's still impressive to be able to play it though, and to have learnt it by ear :D i could never be able to play the bass at all, let alone as good as this to save my life :L but yeah i guess its the way you play it, i play alot of stuff on the piano and change it around to make it my own :) so i get where you're coming from :D
This was great. Praise the Lord. I played the bass guitar for 20 years, but I was never this good. I played a rock and roll style. I have a video where I give my salvation testimony on my channel where I have a poster of me in Hollywood in 1988, but you'll see I was a hair metal dude, not like this guy who is great on the bass. There's amazing grace when you turn your thoughts to Jesus to save you.
This man is a legend and WILL go doen in history! I hate it when i hear guitar players (sepecially not very good ones) bag on bass saying its easier. Although i play guitar I have a massive respect for people who play good music whether it jazz, blues, funk, metal or anything in between. MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL!
victor wootennnnnnnnnn ........ te admiro ..me inspiras para seguir adelante ..... eres el mejor del mundo en transmitir emociones con tu instrumento ......me gustaria mucho q grabaras tus solos todos tus solos en discos ......sigue adelante
By far the most beautiful Bass Playing I've ever seen and heard - I love Victor Wooten's Style, He tought me so much more than years of technique learning could ever do... (the Groove Workshop DVD is great :-) He is an absolutely symphatic person. A man who plays THAT way, must be a good man. I hope, someday everybody will understand his message. Peace :-)
