[SwedishBass]

Nice to hear Victor play some jazzier stuff as opposed to his regular thumb stuff :D

[Chambrette]

hey guys look at the 2nd bassist when victor is soloing at the begining of the video : he's NOT Lazy ^^

[ThirdDrunkDog]

If someone say "I could do that" the best answer would be:

"Then, what are you waiting for?"

[cupnoodle346]

what are those things that look like sweat bands on the necks of the basses and guitar? Ive always wondered what they're for.

[amg123191]

To help cancel alot of the extra rings from the strings. Helps for playing more ghostnotes

[nasanction]

They are used to dampen the strings from ringing out. This brings out the actual notes he plays.

[tattoedsoul]

dumpening the strings

[zupek89]

It is used to mute open strings.

[CptChaos88]

they actually are sweat bands ;-D

they prevent the (open) strings from ringing.

victor who plays pretty fast stuff and does a lot of tapping needs it to get a cleaner sound.

hope it helped :-)

[ejlarsonstratford]

i want to learn how to do the muted slap stuff between 1:55 - 2:15.

[ivandruping]

yeah! is sooooo great!

[ka8911]

It's cool huh? Just bar you first finger on your left hand across all four strings so that they are muted. Hold that down the whole time. Now just pluck rythms with your right hand and hit the strings with the last three fingers of your left hand. I hope that makes sense! :)

[callthemall]
