1 user is a dubstep fan... Vic is tha man, that is the amazing feel he gives to all his music! Great job on vocals too. One of the best videos I've seen so far on Youtube. Congrats on uploading this beautiful piece. :D
He plays bass like a guitar, so why not just play guitar? His style of bass would turn any band into crap. What he does isn't the bassists' role. Who cares if he plays chords up high, anybody can do that.
@kewkabe Thats what makes him unique dip shit. All of his brothers played different instruments. He applied all his brothers techniques. For example, the taping of chords is like a piano, using his thumb like a pick as in guitar, and slapping and popping like a drummer. This is arguably the most rounded bassist ever.
@kewkabe Would you get mad at Jaco Pastorius for playing too many harmonics? You obviously need to research Victor more because he has the ability to jump "roles" and the BAND that he is in "Flecktones" calls for his style of playing. And whose to say what roles each member has to play.. don't put yourself in a box like that.
@andrewpsvenson Not true. True, Victor must have put in an unbelievable amount of work to be this good, but there are plenty of musicians who spend as much time on technical work, but VERY of them have anywhere near the natural musical talent and feeling as him. I could spend my entire life working to be as good as him, but it wouldn't matter, because I don't have anything like the musicality that he has. God-given talent is certainly relevant. It's not everything, but it matters.
you can tell the difference between hard work and tallent, tallent comes to you all at once, hard work progresses you on to a whole new playing field, you can hear it here he was not good at the bass all of a sudden, this was years of love of doing something and working for it and that is why he is this amaizing and can not be beaten
I agree that it's all Vic. Yes there's ton of hard work in there, but the mental aspect is just as important. He's got an incredibly unique approach to his craft and that in itself separates him from the rest. Vic is truly a blessing and such a gem in the music world.
Hard work only gets you so far, Vic has something 99% of people couldn't achieve even with hard work, I guess you could say God has some part in this.
i wanna be able to reach (in my bass playing career) a point in time were i can wake up and jus play this type of stuff effortlessly like this man right here victor wooten
@andrewpsvenson Thats a lie. There would be no beauty without God. There is no way random chance would produce the fingers, arms, body, mind and heart that produced the sounds you hear on this vid. Keep your God hating bigotry to ourself instead of ruining the mood of Victors talent. Thumbs down to your comment.
@v33punk "There is no way random chance would produce the fingers, arms, body, mind and heart"... Sorry pal, but you're completely wrong about that. Keep your God promoting and natural selection ignorance to yourself instead of ruining the mood of Victor's talent. Thumbs down to your comment.
Fantastic, some people might say he's lucky to be able to play like that. I would say, the more he practices, the luckier he gets. He's got the talent by the bucket load, but I bet he works hard as well to keep up that standard He's THE man.

AGREE.
Music is some inspiration, but lot of transpiration, that's it.
You have to work hard, and Wooten is not blessed, but LUCKY to be born
in a musical family, they were all playing music, he learned very very early. That's it.
( Like Tommy Emmanuel in guitar, Mr Sapp in violin, etc )
Or even Mozart & Bach
