Bass Extremes - A Chick From Corea

[@purplefloyd4224]

Bass Extremes was a big milestone in bass history.

[@breakfastplan4518]

Yeah, it really was. But back then, i felt i was the only one among my peers who saw it that way. Also, dont forget about Oteil Burbridge at this time.

[@RendraMada]

Steve and Vic are two totally different players. They each have their own style and technique, and that in itself, should be appreciated. The coolest part is how the both of them play off of each other and complement what the other is doing. They're both quite brilliant in their own ways. Victor doesn't play 6-string fretless harmonic stuff, and Steve doesn't play all the slap and hammer-on stuff. Just appreciate the fact that they are both incredible at what they do.

[@SoappyTank]

This video, no matter what mood I'm in, will always put me in a fantastic mood.

[@RedDogRecords]

Own this DVD, it is absolutely incredible. Victor came to Sacramento a few months back and we had the chance to see him in a really small venue. Only a hundred folks or so. If either of these guys perform anywhere close to you, it is worth it to see this happen live. You won't believe what you hear.

[@YezaOutcast]

those guys have so much fun playing together, you hear that in every note they play.

[@Guireles2007]

I had forgotten for years how these two are, mostly their chemistry playing together. It´s amazing.

[@tbcass]

Since you're only 22 you don't understand. I was playing bass in the early 70's. When Jaco came around all us bass players started to think differently about how the bass should be played and it's roll in the band. Sure there were others expanding the roll of the instrument but Jaco took it to a whole new level. You my friend are the one who needs to expand their brain.

[@ITakeTheVisual]

These guys are the definition of pros!!! These guys make a bass guitar talk!

[@AlfValan]

Ok enough said about victor. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM! so dont take me for a mistake. But take a second - and look at steve bailey. The way he comps victor is fcking awesome. the controll he has over that fretless board, is awesome. And his mastering in harmonics. Its PURELY some pleasure for my bass loving ears =)

[@tecoomexicano]

Those harmonics that Bailey does are just awesome. They sound so sweet!

[@LLroomtempJ]

i'm dying with the musicianship on display in this video. steve's harmonics are AWESOME! i love the fact that vic's fingerstyle chops are on display here! so much stuff to practice.

[@fleaargento]

yes I really like it, for me finger style its like showing off what you really got, who you really are, nothing to hide

[@Jaldegren]

These videos with Vic and Steve are freakin' hilarious!

[@CoffeeJanitor]

High as kites and amazing as hell.

[@Pigfeelermmk]

"Chicken pickin'.....Chick in Corea, it was meant to be" "It's cosmic...." Can I join you guys on the moon?

[@julianminckas]

i cant belive, somone in the world can be dissapointed with this performance... this is sacred!!!

[@jsferreira2008]

the most perfect harmony!!!

[@jeanettestenroejl]

those harmonics Steve do when Victor plays solo, are just incredible!

[@williamrolls8075]

Hello Jeanette

[@matthias4848]

Unbelievable. fret-less feels so good!

[@H3WMW]

Absolutely amazing. A friend of mine used to have this performance on an audio CD but I've never come across the video before. AWESOME!!!

[@PhunkyPhil]

friggin awesome - love this track

[@ADCuitA]

this song is aboslutely crazy!!! love this one!!

[@otakurocklee]

I love this video! Also like the humor between Steve and Vic!

[@georgibass]

this is the best duo of steve and victor for me so far

[@tbcass]

"he just got famous cuss he was the first." Brilliant deduction. Being first and original is what it is all about. That's what separates the greats from the followers. Anybody can copy someone else. There you made my point!!!!

[@RediForKing]

most incredible thing I've ever heard.

[@statsrelick]

These guys are f***ing good!

[@corpusien]

Excellent! They are so good that I lost my motivation to play again my bass...;-(

[@BassistNumber2587]

I will also say that it is amazing how Victor manages to make a 4 string bass sound like a guitar almost :P

[@BOnEhEAdD]

A chick from Korea... and Benny from a Hill?

[@jimd87211]

BEAUTIFUL THE SOUND OF BAILEY'S BASS. the harmonics sounds very clean and tasty.

[@RendraMada]

Steve and Vic are great friends. They're just messing with each other.

[@MediumMinus]

Love the harmonics!

[@JDS00]

wish i had this kind of talent:) but thats what hard work and dedication is for. This rocks!!!!!!

[@MastaFrank01]

This is just pure bliss to my ears.

[@brianthompson2089]

Steve has fantastic intonation on the fretless bass!

[@davidlmiinternationa]

Great video, fantastic bass playing!!

[@jdubbjazzbass]

the bass is the coolest instrument on the planet!!!!!!!!!!

[@rgv695]

Sometimes it is hard for me to understand how two bassists that are so different can get together and perform pieces like this one. The power of music, I guess

[@tbcass]

Thank you. You are correct and your statement is very well put. The Classical musician expresses him self in more subtle and restricted ways but there is room for a personal touch.

[@Dulac91]

full agree incredible his artifictial harmonics

[@ChristJesusAddict]

One of the best Wooten vids I've ever seen.

[@wenchiang12]

A Chick From Corea... That's a real catchy title. I love how Steve Bailey look like his fingers aren't bound to the fretboard and how Victor rode above all else.

[@libernull]

that's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

[@ProfessorNash]

This is ridiculously awesome!

[@iaimstraight]

u guys are cool man, i really love it, vic's bass sounds great n steve's... wow, nice harmonic n just dont get it how do u actually memorise it. u guys really feels d groove of wht u are doing, man. salutes u brother....

[@bevski209]

Well, I don't know about Jamerson, but I'm pretty sure Jaco would love this: he was arguably the most inventive bass player on the planet until his untimely death, and to see these two guys playing all the parts of a song (just as Jaco advised all musicians to be able to) would be awesome for him.

[@GrixM]

"This song was meant to be" "Be what?" Holy shit I'm on the floor laughing

[@Keinoooo]

Gmanjam I was thinking the SAME thing when I heard it...oh well this is really cool...I loike the vibe and there's nothing like well disciplined DEXTERITY! SIGH I love it! (Reminds me of Bella Fleck and the FLecktones from back in the day!) Smiles!

[@IronIronMark]

NO! It's anbelievable! Who can not like THIS?! oO

[@PercyBeanProductions]

this is the best bass composition i have listened to in AGES, and i'm a PROPER BASSIST

[@guaac2390]

Crazy Nice Play!! I Love Steve. and I Love Victor too.

[@ZockyPocky]

Amazing selection! Thanks!

[@aminalshmu]

@TheMilfman7 the end is hilarious!!! i cracked up so hard. "i'm from south carolina, that stuff comes naturally. you're from virginia..." "virginia, oh man... i love chicken" LOL

[@jonaslunwil]

I love how Steve comments "Bass-icly" just late enough for the viewer to have had a short snicker at the pun already.

[@CarlosFloresLN]

Amazing talent. I hope I can play as fluidly as these maestros one day

[@Alfahannes]

I love these guys. I was suposed to watch wooten in stockholm this evening but i couldn't. :(

[@BarnabyJonez]

omg this is incredible!

[@brandonwashington9231]

Steve bailey-Im from south Carolina that stuff comes naturally.....your from Virginia? victor Wooten- Virginia o man....i love chicken LMAO wtf hahahahaah whyyy he must of been high as hell

[@dennisdegreef]

I've seen Victor live a few weeks back... He was giving a workshop... The guy plays bass like a god and has a very 'Zen' mindset and voice

[@JoshWMyers]

My favorite part? 8:45 - Amazing in it's own way. Crazy great video....

[@brianthompson2089]

2 virtuosos of the electric bass!

[@50Stringbass]

the way steve jumps around the neck around 3:10 just gives it that much more character :P

[@guitarfrk123]

this is just awesome!

[@Thompsongs]

man. I'd love to take myself, my bass, and spend a day jamming with those two.

[@JEAG]

Owned! Right on man!

[@CrankUpTheAmps]

This is awesome!!

[@LeonardoLeeC]

3:10-3:13... DAFUQ, playing that in a fretless without getting out of tone, it's just insane, I bow to these bass gods

[@dch528]

best bass tones ever

[@shawnferraro4527]

The sarcasm is so uncomfortable and you hope Victor is cool with it (I'm sure he is) and then icing on the cake is Victor going "I like chicken"

[@wheatbrook]

Love That Benny Hill!!

[@xyomama4u2]

These guys are amazing. Just putting that out there. And I'd like to second what spyguys said.

[@LesPauloCaster]

They could explain that even slower, but I would never be able to play it, these guys are great they love what they do, that's all you need to play music. Victor sos grande, Steve sos grande.

[@zaonkaos]

porqe sois tan buenos?!! porqe os dirijisteis a vuestro camino......HErmosa canción....vibrandoo amor y energía de buen rollo....Viva la Paz!!!!

[@hescobarc]

wonderful sounds mi oido se emocionó al escuchar semejante tributo al bajo. gran estilo tecnica y groove tremendo

[@orinking8064]

holy shit doing that on fretless is amazing

[@Ibanez3789]

I'm almost embarrassed to say that I've never heard of him. Being a trumpet player, Wynton was the first example that came to mind for me :)

[@BoilingHumans]

man i love those harmonic slides he does:o

[@tbcass]

That's one of the funniest posts I ever read!!! :-)

[@SynysterGates93]

It's amazing, the bass is. Just when you think you're getting good, you see a video like this and realize you're not even close. Living in Nashville does that too. Where else can you walk into a music shop and play with a bassist that toured with Clapton?

[@TarpondProductions]

yaa hooo i love this tune

[@lalakuma9]

those harmonics are insaaaaaaaaane

[@hardleecure]

It's fretless. True masters of their instrument do not need frets. What he is doing takes decades of dedication. I respect, admire, and envy such skill.

[@lifeofhein]

I dont know whos the man with the long blond hairs, but Victor Wooten is absolutly amazing on the bass guitar. Love it. Greetings Hein

[@IdontWonna]

the harmonics are amazingly good, his perfected it

[@Draxx1134]

yep, hes playing arpeggios on a bass, a fretless at that

[@RandomGuyBlake54]

hahaha, I love the sarcasm

[@SamRommer]

nearly a million views! excellent.

[@Bassoid]

"oh meeen, I love chicken" LMAO. Gods playing. Insane.

[@Ruibusa]

Y´re right... I´m a bass player but when i see these guys playing i just suck... but it motivates me to keep practicing.

[@skillfulswordsman9035]

Who is watching this in 2019?

[@madbassist85]

Watching in 2020 dude

[@josuetec8554]

2023

[@juliegagnemusique]

That is awsome ! Seems nice to play :P

[@Inveracity01]

This is awesome

[@gamrah]

Looks like this is a good CD, might get my hands on it

[@tommyandtammy1]

great job.5. God bless.

[@50Stringbass]

victor plays the perfect slap lines to go with steves solo bits!

[@paatwo]

They are really Amazing, I like Steve Bailey when he does the Rhythm, can't say i like solo that much but.. They are both great =)

[@JoeJamesMusic]

WOW!!!! F@#KING AWESOME!!!!

[@dontillman]

UNTOUCHABLE!

[@dmbassa]

LOL! That made me laugh. Thanks man.
