Had a chance to meet him a few years back, despite his talent he is somehow still humble. I remember him asking if any of us played music other than my buddies, who he knows and recorded a couple tracks with (this is why I was able to meet him). My girlfriend called me out. “He plays a little guitar”. I was frozen, couldn’t believe she put me on the spot. I corrected her. “I make a little noise”. Victor replied seriously, “it’s all music man, and that’s all that matters.” Such a cool person

In the early nineties I was at the NAMM. (National Association of Music Merchants - trade show for the manufacturers of any thing music) and my buddy and I are on the lower level where the smaller companies had booths. We come across this guy and even standing just three or four fett from him it was difficult to comprehend what he was doing. For years my friend and I talked about him as this mythical bassist that we once saw. As if he were Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster. Years later when he became more famous people remembered us telling them about how he had a hair tie around the neck and the mythical God-like player became real.

I'm a better guitar player from watching and listening to him. He gave the best advice of my career. "You're never more than a half step away from a 'right' note" God bless you Victor.

Don’t get me wrong, I really think Davie got some serious chops but Charles is obviously way more experienced than davie, Victor Wooten on the other hand is on a whole different level of musicianship then both of the others. But who cares about chops? in the end of the day the gigs pay the bills and not the chops. And all of them got that going in their particular way which I quite like 👍

Victor has been banned from 7 galaxies for redefining physics with his thumb. His bass clef shaped spaceship crash landed into what is now the Yucatan peninsula creating the Chicxulub crater. Some 66 million years later his spirit emerged from the depths of the ocean and materialized in human form as the most funky creature to ever exist. If we make first contact with alien life-forms it will be to return victor to his home among the stars where he usually uses the power of his bass to alter the gravity around black holes for intergalactic space travel.

The above clip could be imitated by many people without knowing what they're actually doing, where as Victor has a complete grasp of the palette he's working with.
