[keywestsoccer]

I wish he wud teach this freaking song slowly

[paleceumacolneta]

What is the song played on the beginning?

[RaymondFRevalee]

@paleceumacolneta Norwegian Wood

[paleceumacolneta]

@RaymondFRevalee Don't think so, bo. I watched sum vids and it doesn't seem like NW.

[TheBadGeneration]

@paleceumacolneta True Colors Phil Collins/ Cyndi Lauper

[paleceumacolneta]

@TheBadGeneration OMFG! Thanks, bro. Do u know where I could I find this song covered on bass...like Victa did? Thanks ;] !

[FlyingAero]

What is he tuned in?

[jaqetall]

what does he play at the beginning or it's just an impro???

[arqlopezcampo]

@jaqetall it seems "True colours" by Cindy Lauper and "Norwegian Wood" by The Beatles...

[chrisbyebass]

wow

[nighttrainjames]

Buy his 2 DVD set "Groove Workshop." He helped me more in one afternoon than Mel Bay did in 20 years!

[dedebass7]

[OZDREMA1]

LORD OF THE BASS BRAVO VICTOR WOOTEN AMAZING YOU VICTOR

[tubeintoyou]

Truly amazing...wish i could play like that.

[matanuskatundra2]

cool this gives me an idea

[rgrossoj]

yeah baby!

[bluegrasssingingman]

reverb

[bluegrasssingingman]

Victor you are a great bass player

[bluegrasssingingman]

thats why Stevie Ray will always be better then Jimmie

[CommBreakDown]

betetr than who JIMI hendrix? maybe a better player, but definately not a better ARTIST/creator

[bluegrasssingingman]

yeah whatever

[CommBreakDown]

loser.....go chickenpick some Paul Gilbert. than come back....green grass and high tides forever

[CommBreakDown]

@nighttrainjames First off, how old are you? second, bluegrasssingingman edited his comment. B/c i was right... we aruged other Paul Gilbert and Hendrix. Third you misinterpeted the conversasion, forth your igorance because you obviously went paying enough attention, and lastly HOW THE FUCK DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT? After re-reading my comment....b/c this was 3 weeks ago.....I noticed that I have a correct and truely definitive statement and question.

[CommBreakDown]

You wouldn't say that if you were standing right in front of me...Little boy

[bluegrasssingingman]

Harmonics and destorion is called cheating

[bigbassist321]

how do you get such a loud and clear harmonic sound, i can only produce harmonics on the 5,7,12,ect and never on anything else. do u need a specific string or bass in general?

[themennisspk]

@bigbassist321 harmonics away from the 5,7,12 are much more difficult to get. first of all they're not above the frets they're inbetween frets. next try using the bridge pickup or if you got a pickup fade put it center and then fade towards the bridge abit. next make sure your're plucking nice and close to the bridge with your right hand. that should help a bit ^^>

[CommBreakDown]

pickup FAde?

[themennisspk]

it's a pot that allows you to blend the signal from both of your pickups together. vic uses one some basses don't have that though. if you're got two volume pots just adjust it so that the bridge pickup if louder than the neck (don't completly cut the neck pickup off though.) check what each of your pots does. LEARN YOUR BASS ;P

[CommBreakDown]

thats lame...thats dailing tones.... nvr heard the term pick up fade...thought is was like a phaser with your pickups, adjesting the volume from high to low, the way a phaser ocsolates

[themennisspk]

dialing tones is pretty damn useful when our instruments voice depends on it. ;P

[gho0st27]

is there any sort of harmonic chart? XD

[takemasu45]

good video, just would have been great with more bass in the mix. what were all the bad comments??

[WindsorCravette]

keen to know what kind of bass is that!

anybody knows?

[Kickbasser]

are u asking what bass Vic is using? Fodera bass, hes signature model Yin Yang, check the foderas website ;)

[TreyFriend]

it's a Fodera. He has his version of the monarch

[Romans10Verse9]

Explain how that's a BAD thing please?

[Gabriopunk77]

Algum brasileiro aqui? "Meu coração bate feliz quando te vê", vejam se não encaixa nas primeiras frases.

[Pefifos]

hhehehe encaixa mesmo ahuahu

[hagiadzo]

"Amazing Grace" played by an amazing ace on an amazing bass.

[andyodey]

lol

[scatbus]

Right now it looks like god is sitting up there jammin' on a 4 string.

[bassman25291973]

God is good all the time. Jesus reigns! Jesus rocks! He is my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Lord for the beauty of music.

[AnerStroz]

what? god doesn't exists.

[basscoli1]

que man mas teso es un verdadero maestro

[bxwilliams7]

That's hymns & song: "Do Not Pass me by" mix with Amazing Grace and harmonics

[cybershark1991]

I think the first song which he try to play was his version of norwegian wood. Ther's a video on youtube where he play it.

[MrH00t]

I think its true colours by cindi lauper?

[lucasoshea]

yes it is true colours

[rockisdeadnotquite]

whats the first song he is trying to play.  cant find his songs anywhere?!

[kangkongnilaga]

1:08 thought it was another bass

nope its a car

[krez1994]

ahahaha i agree

[Trommylee]

i also think he quotes from 'Go Tell it On the Mountain', another spiritual.

[RAHMYULIS]

i like this , cuz after seeing so many of his weird original music videos, its good to see he can do the standard stuff too.

[ZweingBass]

It's a Fodera Monarch Yin Yang Wooten signature 4 string bass... beautiful.

[malicery]

Great medley, beautiful :)

Does anyone know what kinda bass that is? it's gotta be the best-looking bass i've ever seen

[50Stringbass]

its a his Ying-Yang model made by fodera, around 9 grand im pretty sure. is it worth it? u deside :P

[thatboboguy]

he's gotta be very religious.

to do amazing grace, and to do another christian hymn

you have to admire this though

beautiful

[lckeeper1]

I'm not sure if Vic is religious, as much as he is spiritual. From everything I've read/heard, he seems to believe more in the harmony of life and everything in it, including music.

But I couldn't agree more. Breath-takingly beautiful.

[DaiskDark]

he is just connected to the nature though his music ^^, that what I would say about him

[aestheticpikachu]

well im not completely sure if my memory serves me right. but yeah i think that he said in one of his instuctional videos taht he doesnt believe in one god. he believes that humans are gods. and that everyone has power to do what they want in life and some crap like that. hence that one video i found god. but yeah. im not 100% sure. i can be an idiot.

[jewishjackhammer]

he belives in god. on his new album there is a great song called "I Saw God"

[Romans10Verse9]

I think he believes in God but that is a terrible example. The lyrics in that song have nothing to do with one individual God. He says that there's a God in all of us.

[jewishjackhammer]

and i when to 2 of his shows and he talked about god there too. i should of said that in that comment too.

[jimmyatebillonce]

ive seen a video of one of his songs that really gospel lol, prasing the lord and all that.

[Chivio7]

Read his book, it's about his view on spirituality. Not very well written, but an excellent read all the same.

[EdTheBassPlayer]

hence the ying yang bass

[PyroMan3]

wuts the very first song he plays in the beginning?

[HELLOISAIAS]

the waterfall, which i have not been able to find in youtube but if you can can you reply and send me the link plz

[Zamfy]

Norwegian Wood by the beatles

[AltotheVIN]

Isn't that "True Colours" by Cindi Lauper.

Then its Norwegian Wood by The Beatles

[eddy155334]

whats the song before he plays norwegian wood???....Is it a D Major Scale?...

[jazzygc]

Actually this is a composite of two Christian hymns Amazing Grace and Pass Me Not. Excellent medley. Wonderful!

[TBITB]

good call, i neglected to mention it. excellent medley indeed. very difficult to play as well

[TBITB]

every version of amazing grace he does is very unique. there are at least four on youtube. all are very exciting!

[eddy155334]

whats the name of the song he plays in the beginning of the video?

[Hazzard88Mph]

you can get it by ear, use the Dmajor scale to figure it and then play it on natural harmonics

[DuffNAP]

After he says "long time ago" its norwegian wood by the beatles.

[Galderbesjungen]

this guy is amazing... one of the best, but Steve Bailey is a god with the harmonics ^^

[potatomasta]

I've only seen him use artificial harmonics, but in that area he is the best by far

[Dulac91]

check out steve bailey

he's the master of harmonics!

[Hazzard88Mph]

He absolutely feels the music.

[tolinfitz]

he is wayy too good at what he does =D

He has the most soul i have ever seen.

when you see him live. you just feel an energy

[plotier]

no es humano ni a palos

[teoballesi]

kjaskjasjkas

es verdad loco

[DuffNAP]

que va, es un crack! inhumano...

[aaronvictor]

he is sick

[dindglebeaver]

Amazing bassplayer thanks for this video enjoy ur life
