i met steve bailey once and he said playing with victoris amazing, but its also a lesson. he said its like "man how are u gonna kick my butt tonight". now thats respect
Back in 93 when I was in music school, Flecktones came and played an exibition for a couple of hours. Most amazing thing I saw. Really makes you look at yourself and go, "I suck!". But with a smile! ;-) All of them are really the nicest guys and freely shared their knowledge.
lol he is solo as well. most of his known material (at least to me) is solo. he's made a couple cd's solo too. The best cd is Yin-Yan, and the best songs is either Norwegian Wood (beatles solo bass cover) or The Vision (its not the fastest, but the deepest in my opinion). check it out, it amazing! by the way, this sounds a lot like a compilation of a couple of songs and solos he's done (amazing grace, norwegian wood, and live solos), but how he combined it is amazing!!!!! almost like a new solo!
he's using the entire instrument, people don't complain when a tenor sax does altissimo and say "its a tenor you should stick to the tenor range". He is expressing something and in this case to do that he uses his high register, like using harmonics, its just another way to get the note he wants out.
Just so you are aware (and I agree with you to an extent) but his bass is tuned tenor the majority of the time, usually A-D-G-C. Either way, he really has done something serious with the sound of a bass. The Tenor Tuning combined with the nickel strings, along with his play style, just really makes a unique sound.
I never questioned his skills... Like I said, he's a very talented musician and sure knows how to make unique sounds... This was just my opionion, nothing more than that... In my opinion a bass is supposed to sound like a bass, without notes that high...
Oh, no, I was not questioning your opinion at all. I was just attempting to enlighten you as to the reasons why it sounds the way it does. Its a tenor tuning. I tend to agree with your opinion actually, which is why i consider Marcus Miller a better bass player, but Victor Wooten a better musician (if that makes any sense at all)
the way he always palys incredibly fast just cause he can. He pulls it out at the most inappropirate times. DONT get me wrong I love him to pieces and he is probably in my top 3, but he can be a little bit of a 'dick' lol
THIS IS NOT VICTOR WOOTEN. you all sound hilarious. ....baghu-ur a fukn tool get a life and learn music!!!! i hate tht comment u are the epitome of whats wrong with music....the people listening!!!
i mean for chrissake someone figure out which tv channel this is - that 2-tve in the corner, and find the original, and post it as a video response. PLEASE.
OMG 1:48 - 2:10 listen to it VERY CAREFULLY. c'mon please, will another professional bass player please speak up? THIS IS NOT VICTOR WOOTEN. you all sound hilarious.
Skip to about...oh say 4:00 in this...and look closely to what he is wearing...I know some idiots can't tell but seriously...does it have to be any more obvious that he has his name on the back of his shirt? idiot...
aha you could get tabs for all of the songs online apart form the crazy caravan cover he does, how he does that is beyond me though, you find the tabs for that ill have to give you my soul or something aha
i agree he's an amazing bass player, but he seems kinda distracted in this video, it looks like he didn't know what to play at the beggining, so he started playing some famous stuff from his songbook, but he keeps being the BEST!!
i can only recomment you to check out videos by Etienne Mbappe, richard bona mb too but hes more famous, awesome african influenced bass with speed and feel.. man, peace
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
seriously. i cannot believe none of you figured it out. this si an overdub by one funny guy, the notes aren't even right in three spots. first wrong note in th overdub is at 0:48. so this is proof this is not victor. but i mean seriously. this sounds like a high school kid. joke is on all of you!! hahahaaaaa
haha watch at like 2:40 yea that crowd is toally fake and fake getting into it?
hes the real deal who could play circles around your little brain as you evolve into a cow and your shitty genes you seem to be missing grow as spots upon your back
Haha see, if you leave that comment on most other musician's videos, you'll get fans and Lovers of the musician going crazy on you. You leave it on Vic's vid, and we all just laugh at it. Life lesson for ya; no one will ever take anyone who insults victor wooten seriously.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The only thing i've found that i don't entirely approve of is that he has used some other peoples work, as well as using his own previous solos in new ones, for instance his norwegian wood solo, is used here and in a number of other solos. and i've also found him playing a couple things by a number of other bassists, just his versions are better. :D
Victor is a ecclectic bass guitarist. Victor like Hendrix imitated tecniques and styles of great musicians before him. This dedication to imitate their guitar heroes increased their ability to be more innovative and creative.

well he is probably the best bassist i´ve ever seen but he has to lose some weight ^^ , the last time i saw him live , he was a normal guy ... now he is ... well ^^
Unbelievable. really. one of the few bassists worth mentioning. Wooten, claypool, flea, chancellor. but he does have a style all his own and should be hoisted upon our shoulders
1st you're an illiterate asshole who can't spell and 2nd, the only thing cheesy is the build up under your balls you fucking moron. Of course he plyas good, HE'S VICTOR FUCKING LEMONTE WOOTEN, THE ONE AND ONLY!!!!!!!!!
The next song is called Mad Hatter. He plays it together with jeff coffin. that vid is also on youtube. try searching with: Victor wooten sax jeff coffin or something. it's the guy with the yellow/orange/red hawaii shirt at the picture. enjoy =)
there may be some who have a flashier look when they play, but with Victor, you get the kind of sound you can enjoy with your eyes closed, not distracted by how great it LOOKS. music is a hearing art, as i'm sure we all know. and he plays great QUIETLY!! amazing.
