[tubaeuphboyemk4]

what's this song called?

[TheTcbassist]

anyone know how he hits that high note from 0:48 through about 1:10. Can't find how he does it with just a thumb

[Fullywtf]

@TheTcbassist It happens when you press the G string onto and over the side of the fretboard with ur thumb

[DuffCowboy]

does anybody know which strings he uses so he can tap on them and they actually react the way they shoud. its just not possible with medium ones by ernie ball

[jarrodgoldman]

@DuffCowboy Yes, they are Fodera Victor Wooten series. I play them and love em. You can buy them cheapestat juststrings com

[TheTcbassist]

@DuffCowboy the vic wooten strings are great, whole nother level from ernie balls which i find to be way too bright. I get where your coming from, they are very, very difficult to play some of this stuff on. just splurge on some really nice fodera strings and u will be set

[GreekAnimal1]

he feels it!!!!

[MrLeedom]

his tapping is freekin awesome

[corey788237]

such an AMAZING bassist xD

[kwmoonccmoon]

難しすぎます。染之助・染太郎師匠ですね。これは。

[lemontree27013]

@kwmoonccmoon

I would agree

[tjfvis]

thats how ronaldinho is going to be if he keeps eating and drinking like that. he looks alot like wooten

[pntballfreek]

i love wooten...but i swear its aggravating watching him lol....b/c i've been playing 7 years, and have gotten nowhere even remotely near his talent :P

[RoboticsNShenanigans]

@pntballfreek Some people are just born with overwhelming amounts of musical talent. There's just some things you can't learn, no matter how long you play.

[Milessmile]

@RoboticsNShenanigans Disagree there. This cat has been playing since he was 3.

[RoboticsNShenanigans]

@Milessmile That doesn't mean it's not a natural talent (i know that it is) I played for years and never got beyond what id consider decent. Some people just have natural dexterity that others don't.

[Milessmile]

@RoboticsNShenanigans This guy dedicated his life to bass. The dexterity difference is minimal between regular people and you can train you fingers.

[emirhanyen]

he is not HUMAN!

[Cshihadeh]

If you've seen Vic shred it many times, you'll agree when i say this is like a 7.5/10 for him. Vics a monster!!

[n0br3ass]

GREAT WOOTEN!!!!!!!

[maniacmax92]

i posted a couple others. I think I may have more somewhere, but I can't find them.

[provy100]

wooten is the boss the person who said that he isnt knows not 1 crap

[djunklesbay]

I play bass... and no offense to all the people who worship Victor Wooten... but this isn't that good at all. He is just playing random notes and slapping as fast as he can. There is no composure what-so-ever. There isn't any real music in it, he just plays random shit, and everyone just assumes that is what good bass is supposed to sound like. If you want to hear amazing bass playing look up Martin Motnik's interpretation on Cello Suite No. 1 by Bach. That is amazing bass playing.

[Romans10Verse9]

First of all it's all relative. It depends on the listener, not the player. Secondly there's more to music than just notes. Third this song is an absolute masterpiece (in my opinion) and there are some AMAZING techniques in it, but they are all used to make MUSIC. None of these notes are random, even the reallllly fast slap part I'm sure you're referring to. If you check the solos on this from other live versions you'll hear the same notes inside the mutes. His speed is to get the crowd going.

[ericnoisexplorer]

muerdete el culo imbecil !!

lol

[Anonyomus]

Well, about Victor's solo, he can play it again, because that's not random notes... That solo is planned and composed like a song by him and it's a solo, a piece of his talent and he wants to show it to the audience :) And he did it very well imo.

[freakyteakyterrorist]

Well it is a song...

[ryoga1988]

mmm are you serious? or stupid? now, you can do it whit the same intensity same groove and feeling whit bass? i don't think so... maybe you dont know wooten and other things that he do... maybe you don't know his bass philosophy...but i think that you like billy sheehan more than he...

[taufoofar]

And this is why, Victor Wooten is in fact, the king of all bassists!

[nattyb3]

He's like a second Cliff Burton (only not Metallica)

[camelspottergr]

ingorance..... what a shame dude

[Romans10Verse9]

...Cliff Burton??? WHAT???

[nattyb3]

I now see the error of my ways after this stupid comment. victor wooten is better (cliff just uses more FX)

[ryoga1988]

...burton??? burton suck a lot... holy shit is better the new bassist

[andym87]

good sound out of the new hartke rig.... his new tone is growing on me.

[BasSick93]

lol "stanley clarke is in the house"

[ejlarsonstratford]

stanley "jordan"

[KurtSandford]

Well stanley is still in the house, he's right behind wooten =]

But yeah, he meant Jordan, because if the tapping. =]

[Wetter02]

How can anyone not love this?! :P It's so damn good!

[XxxPalmMutedxxxX]

Just amazing.
