[tiago85416]

grande victor wooten

[Infernomuso]

OK ...what the hell..are people allowed to be this good!

[mauriciomoreira1986]

un verdadero genio!!!!! 

[RHCP10206]

ahh damn you victor wooten. i always thought this guy was super overrated in the bassplaying community, but i went to a super cheap workshop he put on in the back of a daddys (wicked cool right?) and i left there an enormous fan. Like people always try to play his style of bass and get all worked up over vic, but after you talk to him a little and see him play some.. he lives up to all the hype. just a genuine, totally gifted bassist.

[MrCrux03]

He's Eating the Bass guitar!!

[loldude1222]

people get credit for pushing buttons into a computer and singing like shit while people like this are going un noticed how can it be possible

[GynoGrinda]

[BassAsLeaders]

Impossible he can't be human

[zhaoxmmusic]

[IlliamQuane]

that is insanely good

[HeadShootingMaster]

so relaxing... that's why i play bass, and never get tired of it, it's relaxing... i mean, look at his face, most musician have a very serious face when they play, but not some bass players (like this amazing guy), he's enjoing it, he enjoys playing, besides that the fact he's SO FRIGGIN' AWESOME! (srry 4 the bad english)

[TheAlexsw]

8 fags disliked this vid? How can you possibly dislike watching Victor Wooten playing bass?

[RodrigoM3llo]

To me. he's playing a bass and a guitar..

at the same time!

[paengsamesa]

ilove you

[cjtrapper]

God didn't create Victor, Music created Victor to prove she still exists despite what we're hearing today from so many "artists".

[Achilles1223]

@cjtrapper Please don't say that.

[jPapa2008]

Music is the most high (we'll never ran out of it). Most Jazz greats are overwhelmed by the African stuff. It'd be nice to hear where the next victor will allow his ears to station.

[Tropicsca]

it gets too the point where bass is more impressive than guitar ^^^

[desy5224]

to much skill

[metalvocalistwanted]

video title should read "why nashville kicks ass"

this is a weekly occurrence \\m// (^_^) \\m//

[69erthx1138]

People will learn sooner or later about Victor that his heart is playing that bass, his fingers are the instruments playing the instrument.

[quest4tanelorn]

AAHHHHH I love the dynamics in his slap playing! Most people just play the shit out of the bass when they slap but he actually starts quietly and builds up. And everything else he does is incredible

[EricGodfree]

I just finished reading a book he wrote called 'The Music Lesson" .. it was really good i suggest it to bass players especially

[smthngdffrnt]

I really need to finish reading it. Did you learn to play the measures he used to title each chapter?

[EricGodfree]

No i didn't, i play classical guitar not bass, i don't remember if it was written in bass clef or not ill have to check that out

[NeedMoreJoyDivision]

@EricGodfree I read that book, too. My bass instructor suggested that I read that book. It really taught me things I didn't know about music. Overall, it's an amazing book.

[chadvanhaitsma]

that was horrible !!! because it's sooooo fricken good I just want to burn my guitar. SHIZZZZZ what the heck guy. that's sooooo good. are you kidding me.

[Carehuea]

I'm usually not a huge fan of the endless Youtube bass slap-fests, but Victor is something else altogether.

He can't be denied - he's too good.

[iceymanjack]

surely hes the best of all on earth

[Zxyquz]

I agree with TheSecondhour. This guy should make albums!

[Joehurst2000]

@Zxyquz - dude he has multiple albums check em out

[YOmama862]

Well he just blew my mind.Anyone else's?

[bullfiddlejay]

he has completely mastered the therory of chaos and melody, its beautiful

[LordOfTheUsernames]

at 3:03 he just raped time/space

[renzoo9312]

so, god was black

[SethKir0]

fucking race discrimination comment. DUDE.. he's just overrated .. get over it. No one's going to remember him in 200 years from now, unlike legends like sabbath, zeppelin, deep purple etc..

[OttoJAJUKKA]

U say no one will remember vic after 200 years?

[Psychopathensau]

I'm sorry, but i guess he's right.

He's not very popular, which i find as a shame.

He's just kickin' ass

[OttoJAJUKKA]

Amount of talent doesnt equal the amount of popularity :P I guess I shouldnt reply to trolls :D

Truly a phenomenal musician. Saw SMV here in finland and now hoping for Flecktones to come here :)

[icecreamishome]

@SethKir0 ..... overrated? did you even watch the video. hes not overrated hhes just as good as everyone says he is

[Genkakuzai]

@SethKir0 That's a huge laugh! Most definitely, no one will ever remember the guy who won bassist of the year three times. I like Rock/Metal but Victor Wooten plays extraordinary music and if there was ever a battle of the basses, he would put all of those band members to shame.

[MrKodyska]

@SethKir0 hes overrated? how is he overrated if he isnt really popular?

[TheSecondhour]

the saddest thing is that most people i know have never heard of this guy. the most talented guys are rarely as wide known as they should be.

[iceymanjack]

you're right

[jimmyspreveza]

He is freaking awesome!He and Jaco Pastorius are the most melodic bassists I've ever heard!

[cskarch]

he keeps getting better and thats the scary part

[benlorenc]

@cskarch it's because he's black, look at his fingers!!!!

[eddynaco]

@cskarch ...yeah yeah! ...he's so far to reach my perfection.

[elgordocerdo]

que grande victor, un fenomeno!

[chickenandababy]

victa's on steriods here

[shredder710]

welp im done playing for today. nd all of this week for that matter..

[5bass07]

I've never heard a bass player more melodic than Victor...he is truly mind blowing...a very special talent!

[pissrobot]

this guy isn't fucking human!

[adestickbaby]

splat splat pow glit bap dabow git gat doobilly gap beow click clik rattatat hucka da doo bow! uh!

[ilyaseleznyov]

I cant believe this forum lol.

Yall need to watch super bass solos by victor wooten, He explains exactly how he learnt.

"At the age of three Regi taught me some simple bass lines and at the age of eight taught me how to double thump, from there it was all me"

He also says how he learnt of all his brothers by imitating their styles including, keyboards, guitar, drums, saxophone.

That is where he claims to have gotten his main vocabulary,

[camelspottergr]

Theos.....hAAHAHAHAHA that simple... Theos... well he is THE bass god!!

[ionpeiciu]

NR 1

[pulsexx]

guitarists are just jealous they can't slap and pop.

sit back down. you know youve been replaced as the most impressive solo instrument.

[sourapple121]

lol, theres actually a lot more solo instruments out there besides guitar and bass, all off which are equally impressive in their own way

[Muenchies]

Yeah. Any instrument could be a solo instrument.

[PuzzledJoker]

how bout you stand up from ur computer u worthless excuse for a human.

[guitarfanatic]

not quite. you can do everything he's doing on the bass on a guitar, but with two extra strings.

[pulsexx]

have you ever heard a guitarist slap and pop?

it's just not the same.

IE Reggie wooten had to pick up slapping and popping to match his brother's speed but he just couldn't make it sing like his brother.

[terrykumar]

WRONG.

reggie taught victor wooten. he's the "TEACHER" amongst wooten brothers.

[pulsexx]

uhh

reggie wooten didnt teach victor wooten how to play slap and pop bass you fucking idiot

victor wooten discovered perfected his own style of hammeronandpullofs while simultaneously slap and popping.

[terrykumar]

before calling someone idiot, check the facts btw.

[pulsexx]

no shit i own a victor wooten dvd

straight from the horses mouth

he came up with his own style and his brother started copying him so he could keep up

his brother did originally teach him the basics of the instrument though

[terrykumar]

regi taught him how to do double thumb.

[pulsexx]

oh yeah thats right im suppose to believe you over victor wooten

thats bright.

[SuperMegaR]

PWNED!!! haha... yeah, Victor is good no matter how his skills came to be, however.

however, i'm not actually sure wich side i'm on in this argument, because i believe i've heard something like what terrykumar said, but the facts speak for themselves, or in this case, they speak for pulsexx... whatever. great bass.

[wlm011]

this takes skill who ever disagrees start playin the bass and find out the hard way...and make a vid so we can laugh at how horrible u play compared 2 a true master

[boxfordbassist]

Why does music need to be criticized so negatively. Everyone expresses themselves in their own way. If you don't like it, don't say it's total shit, if you don't agree with their musical expression, listen to something else that you will enjoy more. I'm not saying to not disagree with things, I'm saying don't criticize people for the way they play their instrument. What Vic has done for the bass is incredible, and unique. Just because it sounds like a guitar does'nt mean it is or should be.

[metalmadnessman101]

vic is nothing but fast i have mabe only heard a few cool bits and pieces but when he starst going fast he ruins it

[csuflasher]

he is one of the most sound bassist in the world. You suck

[bozz21000]

this is fuckin shit, he plays bass like guitar, why doesnt he just start playing guitar if he likes it better...this is ridiculous. bass is about groove

[cutros]

you're dumb.. wooten has more groove than any other bassist in the world, that's why he's known as the best

[kerdezixe]

Do not forget marcus miller too :)

[SpockOfRock]

Psst! Hey Bozz21000... The reason they call it a "Bass Guitar" is because it's A GUITAR! So it's okay to play it like one if you like.

There are no rules, there is only SOUND... how you make it makes no difference.

[shortkid1992]

because bass has a lower register that he can run down to, not to mention major tonal differences, and a way better capability for harmonics because of tighter strings.

and slap is shit on guitar because of the lower string tension and thinner strings.

and if he played guitar he wouldn't have goddamn popeye forearms.

[elterco9]

whit that t-shirt victor looks like He-man jajaja

he's amazing

[pavlas]

hehe ! we wears the most amazin t-shirts !

[mrdummer]

man he da only sumbody i know dat can play da heck out of a lead guitar on hiz bass Lol....love it!

[pavlas]

heh yes he is amazing ! we need to thank his brother Regi for that.And his brother Futureman for his amazing percussive sounds ! :)

[nomacuerdo10]

MOSTROOOOOOO

[pavlas]

heh thank you ! o Wooten ine mangas ! :)

[xatzidakis]

Γεια σου πατριώτη..και γαμώ τα βιντεο ανέβασες..χαιρετισματα απο ενα μπασιστα θεσσαλονικιο!

[mainebass09]

what is there to say...? ITS VIC!!

[bonesworld2]

I sometimes read comments from guys hating on Vic. Kind of like when Wilt Chamberlin was playing ball and no one could stop him. Come on 100 points in one game. And people where hating on him because he was too good. Just like with Vic. Man this guy is obviously the greatest bassist of all times with no debate needed. Those who can't see that are just stuck on what they like.

[WHATSREALLYGOOD16]

Fucking good one man !!

[BlackSpeakersOhYeah]

he's great, because he plays the bass notes, like a guitar. to get all 6 string notes, he switches strings and frets very quickly. awesome.

[John051205]

Sometimes he changes the tuning of one or more of his strings on stage to increase or decrease the sound. It's friggin' crazy!

[TimCommerford]

the best bass player to this day

[ben1559]

i ate dinner with vic last week not kidding hes a sick guy

[howaboutnoproductz]

ohhh yeha

[bigkidcam111]

wow he really is amazing

[SafetyMan911]

WHY DOES HE HAVE TO USE A TENOR BASS

I want to play that stuff so bad, but I'm in no position to buy a 6 string bass...

[ejlarsonstratford]

then just go to a local guitar shop and ask if u can get the four top string of a 6 string and u can restring up your bass:)

[jorgelightfoot]

its a regular bass, wooten plays 4 string basses

[pavlas]

yes i think he uses the other strings of the six string but u cant just pop of the strings and change the cauge like that. you will need to reaudjust the bridge n such.

[mootoo99]

its not a regular bass its a tenor bass

it's tune ADGC u cant just pop of the strings and change the cauge like that. you will need to reaudjust the bridge n such.

[HLGGanoth]

You just copied pavlas comment faggot.

[jacobwhatever]

oh my god

[alvarocastrotemprano]

tocar toca de puta madrepero anda k no es feo el hijo puta si parece el hombre taza

[unknownfriend7]

Victor Wooten is the Jimi Hendrix of bass.

[Accavarium]

jimi hendrix is the victor wooten of guitar (;

[Javic2112]

Thks for sharing this take ...amazing

[ibonyun]

I don't think I'll ever touch my bass again. Time to cut my hair and get a real job.

[ryoga1988]

XD i know what yuo feel XD but... victor is victor... he is a genius...

[hellborn90]

His style has one big advantage: most people won't realise any mistakes, if he does one :D

No serious, he's awesome.

[polishpirate123]

there are tons of "mistakes" but thats what makes it fuckin sweet

[bassandguitarboy]

i'm not completly sure that mistakes are what makes peoples music sweet
