Dude same

Yup!

Agreed

Is victor wooten, when he play, its just comfortable

+1 :)

You should listen to some Jaco then :)

Any instrument can be in the hands of a genius

A lot of people do it like that. My personal favorite is Al Cisneros' work in OM. Managed to keep up the trance-like vibe of the Advaitic Song album without covering up the other instruments with a bass tone that is already fuzzed out.

Add Richard Bona and Vail Johnson to your list! - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9tdlc2jltLJfWg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rb2YgtiTl7PWdqc.html

Wait until you discover a Whamola, it's..... Odd.

I don't think anyone would be bothered if people thought he was a god.

It's true he also needs them.

Well, even if he cared about what people think, he’d be lucky because we all love him.

@@tromboneman4517 nothing not to love, wooten is the fuckin MAN

I was gonna like your comment but you’re at 69 likes and I couldn’t do it

Oel Dave , thanks for counting for me, I could not manage past 3

Most basses are

@@SunnyD420 'Most basses are' - well that used to be the case but now you can find basses with up to 12, 18 or even more strings. All I can say is if 4 is good enough for Wooten then it should be enough for anybody.

I think OP mentioned it as a reference for how big the man is.

Skill: Godmode

Small tear of joy at the last one.

You forget about the name of the second groove he played

@@henrybajo1175 YOU know the name !

@Tan Good question Tan.

Nothing is a mistake

@@Irkin_Bollikans you're a mistake

I think he even made a video about incorporating your mistakes into your playing

there were mistakes?

Any "mistake" is just jazz for a musician ;)

So cool. I have a pic of me and Victor from North Carolina around the year 2000. I got a pic with him, his autograph, and got to see him and his brothers throw down for $12....... It's one of my fondest musical memories.

Who you talking to?

@@bossHogOG to victor you dumb laid-back grass eating asshat

@@arjeseel1707 mm yes reddit

Met him at a clinic in NC. Amazing musician and a true gentleman!

Actually, you can get em all ! But it's quite tricky. He uses his right hand thumb to force them.

uh Jaco could play a harmonic on any fret mate

@@olivierjacquet actually you need to space it from your fretting hand, not everywhere works, but you can for example fret a C on the A string and harmonic the 15th fret because it is 12 frets up

Get on my t-shirt

3 (drums)

Right that’s what I’m paying attention to.

you don't think this was already worked out in advance?

@@Philrc what is the model and brand of its bass?

He's actualy playing A Portrait of Tracy - Jaco Pastorius.

@@foufougeo7788 it's a Fodera monarch i think.

Most of it is based on the Flecktones song "Sex In A Pan"

Yeah, the natural or tap harmonics on a 4 string electric bass are a very subtle bit of beauty when used well.

@@py_a_thon Not sure about subtle, but I completely agree about the beauty.

What amazes me is how easy it seems to him to switch between grooves. Very dynamic

Do it by yourself and stop crying. He is showing it as simple and clear at it is.

it sounds like an organ

Raul Duke lol

Hilarious

IKR

😂😂😂😂

So not slap bass but more sleep bass...........................i'll get my coat.

Well said! There are guys now who have eclipsed him technically, and some can play some amazing arrangements, but show me someone who can do this and I’ll say he has an equal.

Child of God And that’s what it’s all about...aspiring to become better, music is not a competition. Take your time, you’ll get there!

im not even a bassist but watching this makes me want to start trying

Inspiring as a musician and a warm, humble, compassionate human being also.

@@lilleilei169 do it no balls

Hello Victor love to see you and your brother's play this is boogiefoot from flavor show band hope to see you soon I'm in Dallas Texas be cool drummer to bass player love you man

Kurwynd Victor would hate the comment, but, oh well...

He’s probably the best in the world. But to say he’s “too far” above everyone else is a stretch. At that elite level, there are some who are pretty darn close to him.

Jay Lambert Please get over the “best in the world” nonsense. Music is not a sport. Victor is highly skilled and creative. “Best in the world” would put a mocking frown on his face.

He truly is on another place. a master of the instrument !

@@artysanmobile Relax dude lol

Check out Charles Berthoud on here

Yes, that is a sweet bass.

In what sense?

@@mrcloopthethird618 Art evolves culture.

@David Goldsmith r u sure about that xd

💫👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Never had the chance to see him, but I understand how your experience has changes your musical life. I can say it changed mine too even I only heard him on internet.

I put it at half speed to see every movement! Amazing bassist! (Understatement!)

Agreed. And he's so ridiculously humble and gracious at the same time.

Sam Howard the Jimi Hendrix of bass

The intro have the same sound as Portrait of Tracy by Pastorius.

@@jessehynes3610 checked out Sam, Never heard of him...He has some tasty sounds...:) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/as99lduquL2ccoU.html

Props 2 JACO!!!!!!!

@@godbluffvdgg It's definitely Jaco wearing a blue beanie. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJOBfcuFqLasZn0.html

Jaco's better

That's just a matter of opinion because I think Victor is better.

More like taco j-shirt

@Paulonbass75 I've been playing bass for 13 years. I think I listen to plenty of bass.

Perfect description.

If one of his other tracks is the lesson, then is this the graduation?

he slip and slides all over that board

@@salkdhfpoahergpoahre what is the model and brand of its bass?

Listen you can't hold no groove, if you ain't go no pocket!

Idk why I read Hispanics but I was gonna say hell yeah anyways

Same

I want a shirt of Victor wearing a Jaco shirt.

Diego Sebastián Núñez much better and far beyond Jaco

@@micahgrubb6867 Despite Jaco playing a goddam fretless bass, Jaco is the more innovative player. Victor is just doing a playalong of one of the Flecktone songs.

So you dont know Justin chancellor ?

Ryan Martinie

Listen to some primus!!!

For me, the good metal bassists are genius in terms of tone. Really few people come close to Cliff in terms of skill, and none in terms of composing. I feel like if metal bassists expanded out of tremolo picking, the scene would look much better. Slap is such an aggressive technique, it fits in perfectly. Why isnt it used? Well it is by a few, like primus, BUT THEY ALWAYS MAKE IT FUNKY. I've heard a cover of spirit crusher by death that showed exactly what I meant. Also, bass solos? Why are they always on the low frets and last about 10 seconds? I want high fret distortion long bass solos. But where will the lowend be then? There are a few options. 1. Tap the lows and highs. 2. Make the bass solo part less reliant on bass. 3. Gainy guitar, maybe octave pedal. Bassists should also take more guitar techniques if they use the pick so much anyway. Sweep? Do it! High bends? Do it! They should also generally use more effects, like whammy and wah. Harmonics are underused in metal as well in general, but especially on bass. In short the bassists in metal arent underrated, they are just not creative enough.

@@isnowzz9355 id rather jump off a cliff than listen to primus..

The one he lets ring @ 2:33 is incredibly impressive, I play guitar and that is something I need to put work in
