I JUST saw your video! Vic, Jeff Coffin, Roy Wooten (Futureman) and are friends of mine for over 30 years. I KNOW that you guys think that Vic worked this out for years to do this. But, he can improvise this stuff!!! He used to do 3 hour SOLO BASS gigs at The Slice Of Life, an organic restaurant in Nashville. 3 HOURS!!! And, he was just creating things like this on the fly! Vic, Jeff & Roy are ALL astounding musicians and I'm so honored to be friends with them.

I had the opportunity to see the Flecktones at the Indiana Roof Ballroom a few times in the late-90s. During one show, Victor broke a string at the start of his solo. Mid-solo, asked a roadie to bring his backup to the stage. It was plugged in and out on a stand while…all while he kept his solo going on three strings. Integrated into the solo, he started tuning the fresh bass and ultimately switched instruments while maintaining the groove. When he finished the whole audience erupted in awe and appreciation of what we just saw and heard. It was the most incredible thing I have seen at a concert.

Exactly what is so incredible about sliding a harmonic? It isn’t as if it’s at all technically difficult, original or hard to execute. In fact, it doesn’t actually work or sound correctly due to the frets on Victor’s bass; on a fretless instrument, whether it be a bass guitar, upright string bass, violin, or whatever, the harmonic can only be slid and sounded correctly on a fretless instrument. Classical musicians have been doing it for literally hundreds of years and jazz bassists for at least 50+ years. Just my 2c worth 😊.

I own a video on VHS named after one of the earlier CDs called “Flight of the Cosmic Hippo”. It is about the Flecktones and how they came to be, before they even really came to be. Those were the years with Howard Levy and them traveling around on a tour bus from show to show, visiting schools, and all their fun antics together. I went to a show a couple years ago with the original group playing, and as always they stuck around after the concert to talk to all of us who knew they would come out to say hello. They barely remembered doing this VHS video. I was maybe 21 years old at the time, and I would play it over and over every night sitting in complete awe. None of them have changed over the years, they are all still humble, fun, and inventive. And the fact that they hang around each night after the show to talk to the people who support them speaks of their character. This band changed the way I listen to music and who I respect in the music industry. Victor is a huge hero of mine, he drew me towards this unique music and changed everything for me... The ultimate accomplishment of being a musician

The first time he brought this live show vhs in and we watched he paused it as this was about to happen he said “guys I want you to pay attention and actually listen to this. I don’t mind you talking but please don’t for this song” we all sat in awe and from then on out we’d request this live show all the time and he never had to ask us to be quiet again. Every single time without fail the whole room would gather and just listen. I love this video and I’m so happy others are getting to see if they’ve not seen it.

We wore all black clothes with Metallica t-shirts and were around a crowd of people with dress shirts and slacks while sipping champagne out of plastic glasses. The dudes next to us asked...."Do you guys know where you're at?" Like we were out of place or lost lol. We said, "Yeah, we're here to watch Bela Fleck and Victor Wooten." They said "Who is that?" lmao! After that we smiled and said "Just Watch".......After Victor played this exact solo, they turned and looked at us, not even really understanding what just happened,....We just kind of laughed and said "We told you" :)

And during Vic's solo, he down-tuned all his strings until they were slack and then basically did a percussion solo on his slack strings and then slowly tuned them back up through different modes until the rest of the Flecktones came back in...and he was RIGHT in tune!

@alexjackson95083 жыл бұрын
And he does it so perfectly! It's difficult to explain in a short comment but in a nutshell, you play the harmonic, then you both press the string down against the fretboard and slide. If you give the harmonic enough time to sound and press down and slide with the correct timing you should then be able to hear it sliding. It's good to practice on the 12th or 7th fret harmonics as they're naturally a lot more loud and clear I came across this performance quite early in my bass playing days and like you, I've probably watched it at least 500+ times, and it's like a fine wine that gets better and better!

Saw the Flecktones back in the 90's at the Frederick MD County fairgrounds. I was playing bass in a bluegrass band, having fun but it was pretty much root, five, root five on the first and third beat, right? So after a show of bass pyrotechnics, double thumbing, sliding harmonics, two basses at once, the band brings out a guest, bluegrass fiddler Stuart Duncan. He launches into some traditional burner- Fire on the Mountain I think- and what does Wooten do? Root, five, root five on the first and third beat. And it's killing. Big lesson for me. It's what the music asked him for and he delivered.

Okay, I just want to say at the top that I love Cory Wong. He's one of the most amazing musicians I've ever come across in my life, and I've been around for nearly 40 years now. Much like Cory, one of the first musicians who really, truly, opened my eyes (and ears) to what music could accomplish, was Victor Wooten. I got to see him for the first time back when I was in college in the early 2000's and he and his brothers came through town to play a gig. My mind was properly blown and I've been a lifelong Wooten (yes, not just Victor, but *all* of them!) fan ever since. Let me just say that to see that the #1 influence on Cory's decision to dedicate everything to his music was Victor Wooten? That is just incredible. I mean, it makes sense because it goes without saying as to why after watching this video of Victor, in particular, but I just wouldn't have guessed it out of all of the other amazing and influential musicians that are out there (especially considering Cory has taken to guitar rather than bass). Anyway, I played the alto saxophone all through school and during college, so Cory took my fandom of him even further when he name-dropped Jeff Coffin when he was talking about this era of The Flecktones. Jeff Coffin is like a superhero to me, and *THIS* is the video that makes me want to keep going: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooaweIaoaMdpbck I'm also a huge DMB fan, and always have been, and when Jeff Coffin took over for LeRoi after he passed away, I couldn't have wished for a better replacement (not the LeRoi could ever be "replaced") since Jeff's style fits in perfectly with what DMB does on stage night after night. Anyway, I'm not afraid to admit that I teared up quite a bit while watching this video. Keep doing what you do here, Michael. Love your videos and reactions. I've learned a lot even though I don't play guitar!

I'm so happy you get to experience this for the first time. This album both opened my mind to what the bass can do but also the amazing discography of the Flecktones. Great vid

Oh! Oh! Oh! YES! Live at the Quick! Mind melted the first time I watched it. (Damn. Two years old. Oh well, just popped up.) Saw the "original" line up live in Salina at Stiefel Theatre (small venue). Just joy.
