[imm4terial]

magic

[GolduckSM6]

quedé pa la cagá, igual que clarke y miller jajajaja

[andreking84]

victor wooten is the greatest bass player of all time,but who in the hell teaches him how to dress,lol he were the wiredest shit!!!!lol



[KurtSandford]

Laughing at people clapping out of time to a show of hands, i knew they would.

[TheArrangment]

Norwegian Wood is in 3/4

[armandahammer]

pish posh. clearly theres like three other dudes backstage playing.

[jazzmanfender]

น่ารักอ่ะ n_n

[strymon1961]

特別の中の特別の人間だなこりゃ・・・

[mynameisdotas]

awkward clapping from 3:40-3:55

[nyge23]

i feel sorry/jealous of the other bassist stood on stage

[nyge23]

@nyge23 how can you possibly follow/add to that!



[drgrvmstr]

@nyge23 You shouldn't...They are the "Grandmasters" Stanley Clarke to the left as we view, and Marcus Miller. This is the SMV tour...(Stanley Marcus Victor...you can google SMV band) have seen Stanley a number of times and saw the SMV tour a couple of years ago...it was awe inspiring! This project came about when Marcus and Victor presented Stanley with a lifetime achievement award. Stanley has done the music for many many films and television. See Return to Forever. Happy Listening!

[mynameisdotas]

what jerk thought it would be funny to dislike this?

[mcblahflooper94]

and yet my friends say Geddy Lee is better... ;)

[mynameisdotas]

@mcblahflooper94 geddy lee is an amazing bassist, and the reason i got into playing but i mean... no real comparison

[xFeloxX]

How the hell can they manage to clap and say "yeah" while listening to a bass solo from Victor? I hardly can manage to breath... almost forgetting about it!

[onildofeitosa]

muito bom

[RaizedBlaized]

lets see McCartney do that.....

[champiforest]

@RaizedBlaized Let's see Wooten sing, or write something =)

[xxCaMRocKxx]

@champiforest What are you talking about? Wooten writes tonnes of music, and sings too.

[TheBandFlash]

lik vis du er norsk

[cryptkeeper113]

0 dislikes for a reason!! Amazing!!

[Childinfaith]

3:00, yeh, no people. He isn't done. Shut up.

[schwill81]

Man wootin is a bad dude I've never seen anyone thump a bass like him

[kwmoonccmoon]

ごめんなさい。

楽器の鳴っていないのはダメですね。。

音楽ではなく芸・・・。。。

[tomaspepino]

Retard clapers...

[jimmyislong]

i know his fingers are in pain when i first started play my fing would bleed but now im one of the best bassplayers

[STE4LYOURFACE]

is he actually thinking, or is he just acting like he's thinking? GODDAMN ROBOT

[poiklmnbvcxw]

he can't be human i think he's an experimental robot created to play bass or an alien

[GeddyPastorius]

Wow. Just wow. This is one of the better Wooten solos I've ever seen, and I've seen A LOT of Wooten solos, a few live. I am so envious of the people who had the pleasure of experiencing this one. The way he fuses in a bunch of his tunes, his build up of energy, the release of energy, the reiteration of Norwegian Wood at the end. This is just perfectly amazing. Victor Lemonte Wooten is one of the most musical people to ever grace this planet and this solo does a good job showing it. Wow.

[charlieobcessed]

DO THE SEINFELD THEME!



[megacondor666]

perfection!

[flira1010]

Now I know what is an eargasm....

[generosos87]

ive never heard a bass guitar exude so much beauty. this is for all those who think bass is boring, fuck you!

[joedeertey]

dude in the back at 1:40 is baked...lol

[ajet100587]

@joedeertey You mean... Marcus Miller?

[joedeertey]

@ajet100587 yup



[brandoscostumes]

@joedeertey its marcus miller..you just think he looks like snoop dogg

[umbra88]

I wonder if the people who are clapping are really listening...yea that bothers me a bit

[wagers1968]

victor wooten is truly inspirational as a person and musician....he is entirely on his own unique level....his hands are always 5 steps ahead of what his brain is thinking....i also hate when people clap out of time it irritates the crap out of me...people that are not musically inclined have no idea of how bad they sound...they need to NOT clap and just listen to this beautiful instrumental !!!!

[nuckbucker]

anyone know wut kind of bass that is?

[wideningeye]

@nuckbucker victor wooten's signature yin yang by fodera

[GearsOfhalo4]

Ahahaha! at 2:06/7 marcus miller is hating victors godliness, priceless face!

[Superhenki]

gives me norwegian morning wood

[angusplaysbass]

Victor, you are such an inspiration. This is one of my favourite pieces!

[LightningSchecter]

There is nothing more inspiring then "The Wooter" >8]

[Frikkn]

Even he is still getting better....unbelievable.

[gUiTaRiTaLy]

It's great to see that on 53694 people only 1 disliked this.

[TenorSaxBreed]

damn crowd...stfu

[MacGuitarist]

I think that Victor Wooten is to blame for a lack af skilled bassists. Everyone who picks up a bass and then sees him play gives up because they know they cannot achieve his level of greatness.

[chrisleaptrott]

@MacGuitarist

In Victor's own words: "Never try to be as good or better than anyone else, just try to be better than yourself and then you'll always improve yourself" (paraphrased)

[ItsMeeLucy]

@MacGuitarist Yeah, like back in the 80's, when Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco deLucia brought out 'Friday Night in San Fransisco'. The guitar sales dropped with almost 30%, haha

[KurtSandford]

@MacGuitarist Anybody can do it if they practice enough. I learn some of his hardest songs.

[JinjaB123]

@MacGuitarist i think that this is the stupidest youtube comment ive seen in a long time. speak for yourself chum

[sirfieldinghoward]

@MacGuitarist He's the reason I gave up!

[8cameltoes]

the best there's ever been period.... then les claypool then flea now i get 100 responses about everybody elses opinons

[DreamingTheatric]

@8cameltoes

You called it. But hey, opinions will be opinions. :D

I can't really make tiers, just have "Favorites" and Non favorites, etcetera.

Vic's up there, along with Billy Sheehan, Flea, and that Venezuelan guy Gustavo dal Farra.

[ganggun2]

1 dislike?! It's too many for Victor Wooten : (((

[tribalpath1]

I like how when he messed up he recovered immediately, improv is a great tool when jamming

[aidenmccloskey]

skill;

[HaggzoDehPwnzor]

Hm.. I think it sound better on his tenor bass... Though seeing this makes it easier to learn, now I dont have to use my 6-string because otherwise everyone goes "Dude, youre supposed to have a tenor bass!" when I play on my regular 4-string. Now I can just say, "Well, Victor himself have played it with normal tuning, screw you!" =)

[backwoodsgps]

wood good hearted!!!!!

[boongg]

Why not just play guitar?

[Detoxiphy69]

@boongg because guitar is shit

[teracite]

@boongg idiot .

[DivineWindOfTheSnow]

@boongg

Why don't you understand that there are many ways to play an instrument? Ignorant loser.

[Vik1786]

MY 3 heroes of bass on a single stage !!

amazing!!

i only have met stanley !!

i wish i could jam with master M.miller and master wooten it would be so F awesome

GREAT perfomance as always !!

[lihujazz]

איזה גבר! ההופעה הכי טובה שהייתי בה בחיים!!!

[62erPrecision]

lol, i like the way he does a homage to teen town ^^

[bgoods9956]

I hate when people start to clap in time with beautiful instrumental pieces...it kinda ruins it.

[BHF744F]

You're definitely right,just like he was performin not masterpiece of bass guitar but some worthless crap like madonna or something else.

[jbasscrew]

@bgoods9956 i just wanted to say that.. but then i saw your reaction lol.. i cant hear that part of the harmonics for half.. damn them

[Romans10Verse9]

@bgoods9956

It's even worse when they clap OUT of time...

[bass777chick]

@bgoods9956 especially when they're NOT ON THE BEAT!!!

^biggest pet peeve everrr

[a1Drummer07]

@bass777chick ugh i KNOW i hate that

[crunchberryz]

or not in time rather

[MrChadbag]

@bgoods9956 It is traditional and customary in jazz to do so. To clap after a particularly good part or solo.

[bgoods9956]

@MrChadbag I was mainly referring to the part at 2:30 when the audience tries to clap in time...that's why there was the "in time" part of my comment.

[onetwoBias]

@bgoods9956 Yeah fuck people!

[MATTtheB3AR]

hmm i have a theory about his unnatural skill..

victor wooten was born with  brains in his wrists and eyeballs in his knuckles(hence him almost never looking at his fretboard) and his hands work independently like an octopus. so him makin all them faces is just a hoax cuz its his hands doin all the work. yepp. mystery solved.

[livetoshoot]

LOL

[nyge23]

hmmm, could be, the other theory is that he has been playing since he was 2, and he is black which helps too

[cjtoota1]

LOL

[Kicksome123]

Marcus Miller just looks pissed the whole time lol....

[DimebagizGod]

god dats beautiful

[LCPStud]

Thank god the clappers stopped. I fucking hate the clappers and the "whooo!!!"ers at concerts. They all just want attention. Faggots.

[Thatguy301]

I think it depends on the concert. At a rock concert or an arena type thing clapping and cheers are cool. But with a solo artist or most jazz people need to tone it down or just maybe do it quickly and stop.

[9Salvio4]

I think that they clap theyr hands because the show is amazing ....

[HigherGround93]

SMV <3

[AlfredoPastar]

He plays on a tenor bass. I love his style of playing, soo into the music :)

[guidemusic]

The best on bass!!!

[innervisionfilms]

is his bass toned different

[ejlarsonstratford]

nope. standard tuning. E-A-D-G

[AlfredoPastar]

He plays on a tenor bass which has the tuning of A-D-G-C

[BassToYoFace]

He is Actually Playing with EADG tuning on this YinYang Bass. He Plays With ADGC tuning on his Fodera Monarch Tenor bass.

[DIVENTNA]

how do you have a tenor bass those are two diff. ranges

[litocool]

He isn't playing the tenorbass, you can hear him play an E and a G very often.

[hesingshesobs]

Man, Marcus looks foolish in the background there. He should have left.

[drodenbar]

marcus is a king

[hesingshesobs]

Left the stage at that point that is. Same for Stanley. They should have taken a water break or something...

[litocool]

But why?, I guess they wanted to enjoy Victors preformance 2..

[Bassguy750]

ha true.. but he's reppin' the groove section.

he does look mighty smug though...

[ejlarsonstratford]

Norwegian Wood / A Show Of Hands

[Romans10Verse9]

THAT'S THE LONGEST NORWEGIAN WOOD I'VE EVER SEEN (that's what she said anyone?)

[bananatime]

lmao

[witterth]

[96Mauriciojazzman]
