[@RodrigoMarenco]

Ari's gotta have the most beautiful eyes...

[@christianhenry4173]

I personally believe this is one of the best tenor bass songs.

何度聴いてもうっとり。 切なく、美しい……

[@prismapradanamusic9940]

Now i get sick for 4 months and you succesfully make me so emotional and i was crying a lot!! Thank you victor wooten! ❤

[@patrickconrington9449]

This is the most soulful tune I've ever heard but also beautifully played well done victor just cannot stop listening to it

[@Rolo_AC]

It's a cold sunday morning and this beautiful sound just makes me cry... out of happyness !

[@bertito7777]

Para mi estos videos donde Victor Wooten no hace tanto uso de sus tecnicas como Bajista sino que le pone mas sentimiento a la Musica son los mejores videos.

[@moisespereiramaciel6067]

Já assistia antes de ter you tube esse fera, só no dvd.

[@ThiagoAlmeidaAvelino]

É sentimento demais pra um baixo só :')

[@ibanezmnm]

this is best ballad i'm ever hear...thx you Victor......

[@cjazjef]

for all the haters talking about his songwriting and simplicity..i can tell you first hand from being at his bass camp and taking lessons with him, he is so far beyond simplistic. You have no idea how much more he is doing that most people can't even count and understand. Keep practicing and quit judging.

[@lindaenglish8743]

If the world needed only one bass player it would be Mr. Victor Wooten. The Best in the world. So happy to be able to hear him play. Must hear him live. OMG! What he did with a broken G string. Pure Genius. Linda S. English.

[@Gadogoldmusic]

Vic is the truth...period....Love you maannnnnn!!! Ari's Eyes ...simply beautiful!!!!.

[@drummouth]

This is soo beautiful. Goosebumps!

[@TheKeys2Bass]

I so wish I had this guys talent! I know practice is a huge part, but you've gotta have insane amounts of talent to be as good as Victor!

[@jackvanden-plas4366]

I saw God today and He plays the Bass. Bless you Victor Wooten

[@kyokujirou2112]

[@pixel4u]

Outstanding Melody

[@FelipeMatosbass]

cara....que felling animal!!! esse wooten é um genio e a musica é um absurdo de tão boa que é!!!

[@iamthelaw7]

Tears.

[@Topher19801413]

wow how great is that!!!

[@maximatiago]

esse cara é um gênio sou fã dele

[@bugsmashersteven1]

It's a tenor bass tuned ADGC.The strings are ADGC from a six string set,the truss rod is adjusted for correct tension and the nut replaced for one that accepts them.

[@2amjive]

I draw more inspiration from him then I do guitar players (I of course am a guitar player) LOVE YOU VIC!

[@Rizilo]

Beauty and soul.

[@M4ppleyard]

Even thought it's out of tune it's still beautiful

[@DurfMcAllister]

I personally think this is good music. I am a big fan of a lot of his solo compositions and not because they are chopy, but because of the emotional content I hear behind it. I certainly didn't come to this video for his chops. This is just musical, relaxed playing to me. I Love his improvisation, as well as how he plays with others in a support situation. But I'm not trying to get you to like him. That's up to you. I, for one, respect Victor as a musician and find it to be enjoyable listening.

[@tnmusicman1]

Veeeedy nice!! Emotion in motion (nods to Squire)!!

[@lenriqueop]

beautiful b r a z i l

[@josemarialacarra8554]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@VS666]

i remember seeing Wooten in 2015 i think it was and when he played this song i was legit crying lol. i took a girl with me to the show and she was like "are you ok? lol"

[@lelekbass8819]

emocionante demais...pessoa que e sentimental nao aguenta e chora kkkk

[@AnokhinVV]

as always he is just very good...

[@GaRay__]

Lovely

[@camib3]

music isn't a competition, guys. Of course Jaco is a genious, but this does not change Wooten's geniality.

[@viniomuniz]

Nico tbm eh animal... eu curto mto ele, mais como disse: "Um dos melhores baixistas da ATUALIDADE" Nico realmente tinha uma harmonia incrivel e usava as 6 cordas de uma forma incrivel... Jaco então!! nem preciso falar nada... pra mim Jaco eh o melhor de tds os tempos.. mas o Wooten não fica pra trás... ñ to defendendo ele, mas nos dias de hj pra mim ele eh o melhor... msm com caras tão bons por aí...

[@KonradKielbasa]

most beautiful bass song ever...epic

[@Moog168]

@jtrompwns Well think about it...he's in a room full of Bassists and they want him to do his "Douchey" playing style but he chose to play a beautifully simple song to solo over. You think it's complicated but a lot consider this soulful.

[@metalavenger23]

@fishooke true people post alot of his real fast stuff on youtube but if you have ever been to one of his live shows you know that isn't the case. just listen to the rest of the album this song is from and you know he has a much more soulful side to his music.

[@TheBunny602]

this sounds like a porn beat, nah just kiddin, beutiful bass playin. i love it, so much rythem in thee air on victor wooten, beutiful playin, great job victor wooten. your so good, that words dont do it.

[@xmywreckingballx]

Yeah... I was there...

[@tommy7528]

I can picture Ari's eyes...

[@bugsmashersteven1]

The nut has smaller slots cut in it for the smaller gauge strings,string spacing is the same.

[@calebbassist]

Respect 🙏🙏🙏

[@bljany]

KING VICTOR

[@matheussantiago2804]

toca mto

[@DurfMcAllister]

? There is so much more to this than scale wanking. His phrasing is great and the dynamic changes are so well placed. It's all a matter of opinion, but personally I think this is beautiful playing.

[@drummerfranky]

3:34 pure feeling and talent!

[@malcolmX213]

I think the best apart about this song isn't the actual song, but the bass tone.

[@DurfMcAllister]

I still dig Vic's playing more than Jaco, even though I have listened to a lot from both of them. There are times when I get into Rocca Prestia, Pino Palladino, Sharay Reed, Hubert Eaves III... it really just depends on who you're grooving to more at the time. No matter what the argument, music will always come down to personal taste. Remove all the status from both players and they are just good musicians. Who you like more is up to you :)

[@berostv]

hi vinio! i remember watching on dvd yeaaaars ago, and it was more than 10 minutes long - if you could upload the rest of the solo it would be awsome ! Appreciate it :))

[@TravisMoore]

Its his Tenor Bass so ADGC but for this song he has it tuned GDGC because it makes the chords easier to access.

[@Iride1080s247]

Slappin da Bass mahn

[@xBreaketh]

Not to say your wrong or anything. But when I played it in ADGC, the chords came out right and were practically the same as the ones shown while he was playing. But, the GDGC tuning has got me interested :K

[@BillH2949]

Actually the low string is tuned down a whole step to make the chord fingering easier on a bass, so it's GDGC.

[@MrStayCoul]

sa maîtrise de la basse est peu commune, voire exceptionnelle

[@GelatinousYam]

@fishooke I don't think you understand funk. Either you got it (and appreciate it) or you don't. It has a certain feeling that sounds like showing off to those who don't understand it, but has profound meaning to those who do.

[@willsmith57]

O Wooten realmente e um dos melhores baixista do mundo. mais antes de sair falando que ele e o melhor acho melhor escutarem NICO ASSUMPÇÃO, pois acompanho o trabalho do Wooten tenho todos os seus cds , mais pelo oque eu vejo,ele nao tem nem a metade da HARMONIA E DA INTELIGENCIA DO NICO ASSUMPÇAO. SINTO MUITO PRA QUEM ACHA O WOOTEN O MELHOR DO MUNDO NAO CONHEÇE , NICO , JACO, ROKO PRESS. PELO OQUE EU VEJO O WOOTEN PARECE SER UM OTIMO PROFESSOR DE TECNICA APESAR DE SUJAR UM POUCO NO SLAP

[@Requeium]

that sounds about right, thank you I I read that somone said drop d, and that was a weird way to play it but thank you, that tuning sounds about right. but if that's piccolo, what's tenor? I thought tenor was ADGC

[@joemurray2523]

I love the fact he is nearly in tears with emotion... Sign of a great musician that he can get so into what he is playing..... Also, are they piccolo strings? The G looks awful thin...

[@susiemuirhead561]

The G string is always the thinnest on a bass.

[@WheatMeat]

@@susiemuirhead561 reply because why not, it's a tenor bass

[@keenanjacobs9949]

A-D-G-C That's The Tuning

[@the_rad_Panda]

Can i buy this masterpiece in good quality?

[@umutaksoy10]

checkout soulcircus album

[@MarcoFister]

Lennart Gutruf Umut Aksoy but this version is better than the album version. I think there was an DVD release of bdays 2002... may you get a copy in eBay...

[@joshuastone1]

Words failed so this had to b made to express the unspeakable

[@MrAbeo]

i cried

[@metalavenger23]

@jtrompwns what about this song? sure he has some layers playing but this is about as simple as it gets, if you want to pull off a solo bass show.

[@lenriqueop]

the best

[@switchfoot2093]

Damn! he had an ALIEN HANDS! AWESOME!

[@viniomuniz]

@berostv hi man... sorry but i dont have this DVD =(

[@ibanezmnm]

@kluper18 100% right....i'm in heaven...

[@masterusdisasterus]

This is how babies are made...

[@TheBassMan533]

Wooten is more melodic in his playing. Don't get me wrong, i could walk down the street and sing Havona or Teen Town (which i do do by the way XP), but Wooten's playing in that fashion is more simplistic. Wooten has one of the craziest techniques, but he pretty much always makes it musical. I'm definitely not trying to dis Jaco! I love the both of them, I've learned a lot from the both of them and I'll enjoy their works for years to come. But I'm just trying to showcase the other point of view.

[@jhontaaan]

@berostv tengo el Dvd :) pero esta un poco rayado :) intentaré ayudarte amigo :)

[@Requeium]

might I ask what the difference in nut is? slot files or otherwise?

[@TeddyBasse]

@MrStayCoul c'est clair .

[@mylonb]

3:35-4:00 IS SO SICK

[@DurfMcAllister]

I see that you're a Jaco fan. I Love Jaco and he's up in my favorites, but I Love Victor too. You and I both know there are a lot of WAY less talented cats out there than Victor. Even if he's not your favorite, the man has chops. Just because what he plays here is relatively simple doesn't make it bad music. The fretboard isn't everything, sometimes you need to let it breath! I'm not interested in getting involved in a big youtube argument, but I wanted to put my two cents in.

[@DurfMcAllister]

Rex Ross To clarify, I said “what he plays HERE is relatively simple”, meaning relative to what he usually plays.

[@ThePierny]

3:01 wooten's tears :)

[@manzariluca]

GDGC, you must drop your 4th string 1 tone to play that, otherwise you'll destroy your hand stretching them and you'll miss the low G that he has :)

[@TheBassMan533]

And again, we disagree. First of all, the two plays music that is entirely different - Wooten playing this... funk,blue grass,R&B,jazzy thing, and Jaco playing straight up fusion. so from that perspective of course their music will be different. Furthermore, Jaco's solos are more like a brass' (like a sax or something). That's his innovation in bass soloing - he brought the bass into the world of fusion with the importance like the rest of the main instruments.

[@cross147]

he's usually tuned his bass to drop D (DADG) ;) here sounds like drop D for me

[@Requeium]

what is he tuned to...?

[@TheBassMan533]

As a guy who transcribed a LOT of Jaco's work, you know what? he's just as repetitive. they're just completely different. They're both melodic in different ways.

@carpinabass =HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY VICTOR IDOL TIKA

[@GQube3]

@Requeium Key of Wooten

[@NorthArchRising]

even masters like wooten are still human 1:22 woops, top tune

[@TheBassMan533]

I completely disagree, I find bass being a VERY melodic instrument on it's own. It has a warmth and depth that other instruments don't have, like a guitar for example. I get why you dig Jaco so much, I really really do, and in fact I was at the same place as you once. My musical growth led me to love jazz and that's still what I dig and study the most. But a further step in musical growth is to go back a little bit and enjoy the simplistic beauty in just a few notes or a pentatonic scale=]

[@franccys100]

pow ele toca muito mas se Deus quizer eu vou tocar igual a ele !!!
