I wish, but it seems being a bass god like VW doesnt necessarily translate to making great instructional vidoes, hes skipping over the fundamentals as if hes trying to explaing thump in quickest way possible even it means skipping CRUCIAL steps. Hopefully one of the other thump lesson videos are better because as much as I love VW, this video was not particularly helpful

It’s like that golf saying, “you drive for show and putt for dough.” I apply this to bass playing and say, “you slap for show and pick for dough.”

Met him a couple of years ago at the Blue Note Jazz Club. Told him he was my idol and played bass so much before but I stopped. He replied, "That's so sad. How come?" and I genuinely felt his sadness. I told him it was due to work and all. He said without judgment, "try to keep playing if you can and if it's still something you love." I've been playing the bass since then from time to time. He's such a kind person. Victor's mastery of the bass is at a point where it transcends mere playing. It is spiritual to him and he wants to share his gift. And you see that the way he teaches. Like he believes you can do it. Whether you believe in God or not, you can't help but respect and admire him.

I watched Victor's KZbin video 3 times in two days and I swear, it sounds like I've been double slapping for 40 years!!! That was an amazing video!!! Thank you Victor!!!!!

my problem with double thumbing is the action required to pull it off. I can do the basic of it, but my fingerstyle will suffer because action is too low and I pluck too hard. I can't pluck softly because it won't produce the tone I want. anyway, it's great that someone like Victor Wooten is not afraid to share his secrets.

Bassist Doug Rauch ( Santana, Billy Cobham, George Duke etc) was the first bassist I ever saw doing this technique and that was back in the early 70's. Check out him using this double thumbing on Billy Cobham's " Life and Times" album. The song " Natural high" is a good example.

I've found the Alain Caron variation, which is more a motion that from an oblique angle slaps past the string to rest on the fingerboard then out and away from the fingerboard to pop the string, to be more comfortable and producing a preferable sound to me than an up and down motion.
