[0tt0kruegar]

[TheLeoneprimo]

???

[sosmooth7]

This is what the term AWSOME! really means. Victor is my all time favorite bassist.

[beethovenboy]

His book "The Music Lesson" is so good, such an awesome teacher for musicians of ANY style.

[Amezz55]

when them two together ,its always funny

[Amezz55]

monster bass player 

[patrick61503]

Is it just me or does the guy next to victor look high as a mofucka

[squiresuzuki]

@patrick61503 I think that's Steve Bailey. almost as famous as wooten.

[SRsyndrome]

I didn't get what he was talking about until the end, so I had to re-watch it. All of a sudden it made perfect sense. This is a great piece of instruction.

[andecko]

cool and veery instructive

tanks

[wallacels1]

vic! is the best there is the best there was and the best there every will b!

[JonnoThomas]

*Removes his hands completely from the bass and places them in his lap.. bass continues to make slapping clipping and other off time popping noises... Victor "any questions?"

[ericmknight1906]

sorry, but I'm w/ steve. Wooten is a nice player but all of those fast riffs get monotonus and boring after a minute or two.

[CherryConcrete]

@ericmknight1906

The thing is, the fast riffs we see here are training. Victor believes, and so do I, that if you play as flashy and as fast as you can during trainings, toning it down will be easy.

[ericmknight1906]

@CherryConcrete  okay, i see your point.

[andreking84]

any body of notice how steve looks like a porn star!are is it just me

[taufoofar]

Lol... "this is too easy!"

[kamarulx]

you shouldn't really bring your bass to this camp. just bring your camcorders!

[ZappaFan101]

Is that Steve Bailey behind Vic? He looks sleepy.

Great players both.

[drg92asturias]

I guessed one and I'm happy, because it means my body talks to me :D

[SleazyE08]

I've been to one of these type of things with Jeff Berlin, it did teach me a lot, and is a program, but most of it was learned in the first week. These guys will teach you concepts and try to show you how to read music. If your not interested in reading music, GOOD...Its basically memorization. You can get the same information from a 12 dollar book. Learning fingering position, technique, and getting the skills to move on is what you learn, but this video works as good as being there.

[Siege900]

I've watched two of his lessons, just five minutes each. And they were the most musically enlightening ten minutes of my life!

[mijonja]

Meditation + music = win ? lol

Steve got bored.

[MrWilma93]

WOW, i personally trhink this is more impressive than some of his really popular stage bass solo's

[tommyandtammy1]

great video. 5. God bless.

[ButterBass]

I was at the first, 2000! Best week of my life

[01OTTO]

From waht  maschine is the Klick comming?

[andhemills]

"I just put my hands on autopilot"

[mashmnky]

Wooten bass camp: pay a bunch of dollars to see me play impossible things, thanks!

[GrooveInYourOwnTime]

@mashmnky try looking to his lesson videos and u'll understand that he's explaining that technique is not as important as the groove. make mistakes but don't lose the groove. it's really impressive how much u can learn in a small amount of time. but if u have too much time on your hands for useless opinions and little 4 improving your skills thats another thing

[chjohnst]

@mashmnky couldn't agree more

[wallacels1]

lmao

[stoob1969]

@mashmnky lol, aint that the truth :oD

[atavia666]

@mashmnky think of it as one dollar per note then it becomes value you can apriciate

[AcousticMusicPage]

@mashmnky not impossible if hes playing it O_O

[frank12364]

@mashmnky i would still pay for that hahahahah

[teracite]

work work work .

[TheLaced]

victor wootens bass camp: so people can come and watch him play

[MusicManDzatado]

He's trying to forget the metronome and be as flashy as he can and still get the time.

[cokunlu]

He teachs that, never leave the rhythm. Feel it.

[matrags]

The guys gonna have arthuritus so bad when he's old. lol

[johnhorneguitar]

Can anyone tell me exactly what he was demonstrating there?

A metronome hit every 4 bars??

[bassmastasweets]

to be able to solo and still keep in time without hearing the beat, the idea is to feel the pulses

its in his book the music lesson

[deftroniks]

yeah, this is a great way to improve your timing as a musician. it's a really hard exercise. shame he's just playing such complicated stuff on top to demonstrate it. try it with just a simple groove and you'll see just how hard it is and how it improves your playing.

[justmybass]

he was trying to show that everyone has a internal body clock.

[ddddddennis]

try do the same as the people hes sitting with... Try to hit that drum, without thinking about it and just guessing. First time i hitted it eaxtly at the right moment at thats just amazing, because if u had told me to try to it i couldnt... victor wooten is telling them to not play the music, feel it

[ZomgInflamesrox]

You have forgot about Les Claypool :P ! Both He and Wooten are bass overgods :P

[bl00dfusi0n]

and geddy lee!

[karur]

Ca n'a rien à voir. Je trouve Claypool bien moins impressionant, et même s'il fait des choses interessantes, il a moins apporté, techniquement, à la basse que Wooten. Les influences majeurs, c'étaient Pastorius, Clarke, Jamerson, Graham et Johnson (les pères du slap). Miller avec ses lignes melodiques au slap, c'est qqch aussi, mais il est un de ceux qui sont plus "musiciens" que pur bassiste. Bien evidemment je ne parle pas des bassistes rock, comme Entwistle, Harris, Simmons..

[jude4312]

hahaha this man is so creative. strange practice methods just like on his book :D i love it!

[LoveStarOcean]

It would be fun and cool to see Victor Wooten, Billy Sheehan and Geddy Lee playing together the master of funk the master of rock n roll and the the master of almost everything.

[BossBassist]

ok so i only see uh...geddy lee being the master of rock....and....victor wooten being both master of funk AND almost everything

[AndreyIrey]

the master of almost everything is Victor Wooten.

[gyokretzcc]

soul circus!!!!!!11

[jcbass]

eso del metronomo lejano es como supertaldo

[RezaSaleh]

WOW!!! amazing

[march1959]

A master Bassist.Just too clicky for me. If you raise the action though,you can t pull off all that stuff.

[6stringDuke]

Was that a Fender 6 string i saw???

[CallmeRoth]

sadowsky 6 ?

[CallmeRoth]

sadowsky ?

[nomolos403]

no thats steve baileys Aria Pro Signature Fretless 6 String

[funkbeastbasslover]

Fender 6 string fretless :)

[goldmember123]

Its actually an Aria.

[polishpirate123]

i dont think fender makes six string basses

[basskrustie]

sorry, but you're mistaken (no offense!!) ;) fender got this new steve bailey 6 string. i just recognized that 2 weeks ago too, so they are pretty new =)

[Fyre654]

And their beautiful.

[gianfrancospagnulore]

mark king and jaco pastorius the best.

[KurtSandford]

No, they're just your favorite

[ssab420]

good point

[Robbdogg540]

Thats an awesome comment. Thank you. Made my night.

[willl295]

BURN.

[slapit5]

true

[sammn1]

hes good, but its sad that you cant hear any notes :(

[Hobble]

that may have more to do with your hearing than his playing.

[slipknot95maggot]

Amazing...

[BASS21BK]

:) Awesome
