  • 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.

  • Really Amazing!!!

  • there called harmonics, where u slightly touch the string on certain frets and that tone comes out

  • I'm a beginner bass player, and I was just wondering how he does the high pitched tones? Just curious.

  • @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.

  • @rc10gt150 thanks dude. I'll work on it.

  • Theres a lot of amazing bass players, so i wont say he is the best, but he is far away my favourite!

  • Like a bass.

  • harmonic slide still amzaes me

  • this video needs more views

    

  • I like how at the end he says who he is as if no one knew. lol

  • Woooooo!!!!!!amaZing grace !!!!

  • first minute: mmm I can't do that...

    second minute: mmm... nope...

    third minute: :O

    fourth minute: *Open tab with google and search "How to play mary had a little lamb on bass guitar" and humbly accept my reality...

  • @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

  • @elgangsterchido I will be uploading a tutorial of this, it's easier than it seems (the first part anyway aha)

  • That first minute.. just.. amazing.. wow

  • yep he is still good

  • my fav part 1:54

  • they should rename this song, "Amazing bass"!!!!!

  • F......g Brilliant!

  • This almost made me cry... My brother played this at my Dad's funeral.

  • Its so awesome that even the mic stand is dancing

  • im so proud to say the bass is my favourite instrument and i play it too. although definitely not as amazingly as mr. wooten right here :)

  • I tought nobody can make music JUST with a bass guitar but he did well done...

  • See the dislike bar? Neither do I.

  • So funky good.

  • this is the icing on top of life, just makes me smile every time

  • epic..............

  • 9 peoples hands are to small to play the bass

  • superbe

  • That's two stunningly brilliant bass players in my list of subscriptions.

  • Amazingly graceful

  • What a perfect song to listen to, on 9/11.

  • @Mr842112 A song of freedom on a day of enslavement?

  • @a1Drummer07 What I ment by that was, they can knock us down, but we'll get right back up everytime.

  • queee tocaa bien estee men todoss sus video son geniales ! :D

  • you are over reacting lmao im just fine. and cultures that are in hot areas are usually dark. and the middle east people are usually brown not black.

  • From 1:55 to 2:02 is absolutely REDICULOUS! I been playing bass for 20 years and I'm ashamed of myself after viewing this video!! lol and smh WOW

  • cheeky bend on the harmonic near the start

  • He's not grooving...The groove is wootening !

  • I want to know how he does the fill at 1:42. Blows my mind every time. Not that the rest of it doesn't, but dang.

  • @Shmandy1114 Yeah I've been trying to figure it out too dude

  • @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.

  • ya know, i would say the dislike bar is justin biebers dick, but thats too big

  • how can people like Lady gaga when they could like Victor Wooten????

  • @Mikhaelsna it's the business , i hate fu#kin business

  • i wonder what would happen if he fingered a girl?

    

  • How be someone so idiot that dislikes this video??

  • How be someone so idiot that dislikes this video??

  • 7 people have small dick !!!!

  • I tried to do that myself , but it didnt work . And at the end i saw he had modifikated the Bass xD So many tryes .

  • AMAZING!!!!! Woooooot for Victor!!!

  • こやつ・・・まだ進化するのか・・・

    

  • @simudohu you said it brother!

  • No matter how amazing Victor is at bass, I cannot help but look at his bald spot whenever you can see it. xP

  • @FunkJazz10032 I don't mind having a bald spot if i can play like that lol!

  • @FunkJazz10032 Dude, that's why he plays so well... Sort of like how Sampson gets strength from long hair...

    Wooten will play better the balder he gets.

  • @FunkJazz10032 It's what gives him his powers.

  • you gotta love the yin yang bass...

  • Crazy good.

  • 7 people like an other kind of music . But I like this , it's genial !

  • Anyone else get goosebumps listening to that?

  • 7 people don't have ears...

  • Fuck he can play bass better than I can talk!! ;DD

  • 7 people dont know what music are so stupid this is so great 1 of the beast bass guitar player after steve harris?

  • That's a lovely fodera yin yang he's playing

    Victor really makes it sing

  • i started playing bass a few months ago and i listen to him. i wanna learn his stuff in the future

  • he is amazing

  • Needs a million more views!

  • amazing and beautiful, doc. thank you for this link.

  • What an inspirational musician ... not often I hear a Bass Cry :\

  • AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!

  • He was playin so fast that my computer froze

  • 7 people don't know what music is.

  • @liblobr those are the seven times wooten viewed this video and thought he could do better

  • @liblobr Now it's 9

  • @liblobr More than likely emo/goth lovers. HA!

  • @liblobr I think now there are 3 idiots more than 7.

  • 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

  • Someone walking out on him 2:15

    What jokes

  • 2:15... "Brb, gotta play my bass."

  • Was that a mistake? I thought this is called "Amazing Bass"?

  • Wow... This is great.

  • he is smiling because he know he is the shit

  • I look to the day i'm playing like that!! you sir are my bass IDOL!!!!

  • I had this playing for 2 hours today and never once considered listening to anything else...

  • 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.

  • Now that is a bass player! The one who can actualy enjoy himself and have fun while playing a song! That guy is amazing!

  • Get some chops and some taste

  • amazing! my friend can actually play this up until the faster part at 2:10 , its pretty impressive! :D

  • @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..

    yes its impressive :)

  • @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.

  • He always looks so happy when he plays ... it's awesome

  • my mouse broke after pressing the repeat so many times.... its AWSOME!

  • @Pappmyster, TOTALLY....ha! :)

  • he kinda looks like what Nick Frost would look like if he were black

  • @PappMyster I knew he reminded me of someone ... good eye :P

  • Shit man!! I got wet at 0:44 but the whole song is crazy! Niggaz are and will forever be musicians of god! :)

    

  • yes yes Yes YEs YES YES YES YES and YES

  • omg he is getting bald nooooo!

  • 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!

  • @Omerta011 my mistake its actually a 4 string bass

  • @Omerta011 its a 5 string bass and its not the strong ness its about the pasion u have for music that make u flow threw it and u just cant stop it

  • how the fuck did he get all those harmonics? what guitar is this? how strong is his right hand? fuckdamn!

  • amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

  • open hammer pluck, gets me every time!

  • I came at 1:59...

  • Comment removed

  • how the fuck duz he do tht

  • Obviously this is fantastic, but the Chris Squire version of Amazing Grace is pretty damn good too.

  • i told you jesus was black

  • @CLASSclown011

    and he was playing the bass

  • @CLASSclown011 jesus was not black he was brown definitely not black tho he came from the middle east not africa.

  • @JustinJaybrown first off just because youre middle eastern doesent mean youre"brown" and it was just a joke man chill

  • @CLASSclown011 was stating a fact not flipping out.

  • @JustinJaybrown im sorry if i offended you man just trying to prove a point

  • It's genuinely amazing!

  • Vic is badass....

  • when he un-tunes the bass at the very end, it makes my head go really fuzzy

  • DEFINITAVAMENTE NO HAY QUE DUDARLO EL ES EL MEJOR DE TODOS.

    VICTOR ERES EL MEJOR DE LOS MEJORES.

  • SHHHHHHHH! Silence while he's "saying music" with his bass!

  • This is absolutely amazing!!!

  • HOW THE EFF CAN YOU DISLIKE THIS VID?!?!? >=O

  • 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 :-)

  • it gets boring after 4:56 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • infinit harmonics

  • he makes it look so easy... the greatest alive, imo

  • @Rinoman5 oh yeah it's not

  • Amazing bass, how sweet the sound
