Victor Wooten: Amazing Grace

[@fartinazoodle]

i think anyone who has ever touched a bass admires victor.

[@RonCarterBassist]

I certainly do.

[@majinzed]

I never ever touched a bass guitar, but can not tell you how much I love him (=

[@hsifyarc2072]

not me...

[@empanadasfritas7142]

Sadly most of people in this world dont give a shit about music. At this level you have some good musicians from every country listening and talking about this. Only some people play bass, just a few dominate it. Those who understand how hard bass is, get what I am trying to say. 1 Bar.

I’m 51 and just discovered Victor Wooten. I must be living in a cave! I’m speechless with tears in my eyes.

[@martymarl4602]

I'm today years old and in absolute astonishment

[@nelsoning5803]

Look up, "Live at the Quick"

[@JamesGreenier]

Upon hearing the first few notes, I knew this was going to be amazing.

[@javster4138]

Yeps

[@crumpet477]

There will never be a more talented bassist than Victor wooten

[@InspectorGringo]

Yh Charles Berthoud

[@crumpet477]

@@InspectorGringo aha your funny Charles is great skill wise but anything Charles could ever play Victor could in a heartbeat plus Charles can not make the music Victor can:3

[@waltermusik6200]

That's what I thought of Mark King. Then I heard Stanley Clarke. So that's what I thought about Stanley Clarke. Then I heard Jaco Pastorius, so that's what I thought of Jaco. Then I heard Victor Wooten, .... Useless fact, I even thought of myself as a decent gutairst (I know I am not execellent). Then I heard the kids that study at the music college around the corner 🙈

Love how the first person to clap along has the precise musical timing of deaf roadkill Great bass player tho

[@toximan2008]

it's just a polyrhythm bro

[@cjseeskt]

deaf roadkill is the name of my band

[@spacemoomoo]

[@spacemoomoo]

@@toximan2008 Don’t care what her name is bro

[@Laniefj]

Yes!!!

[@cobojojo]

Does it look like when he plays he falls to sleep dies, goes to heaven, and then when he comes back he's done with the song? He plays like an Angel!

[@blahblah24681357]

1:16 that little lick. perfection

[@shady_potato205]

The little slide at the end gives it so much character!

[@burrito3.0]

@@shady_potato205 Ive been wondering for years how he slides a harmonic....

[@xanderdaniels8284]

@@burrito3.0it’s much easier on a fretless bass, on one of those you just hit the harmonic, then press slightly harder and slide it. It’s possible on fretted bass but it requires a much more precise amount of pressure

[@b.bailey8244]

He plays it with the profound skill and joyfulness the song deserves - it's not a dirge! A great substack writer brought me here.

[@videocakes]

this guy is crazy good my guitar teacher told me about him now i listen to his music everyday.

[@waleedqader797]

Saw him in person last night. He is phenomenal as an artist and as a human being.

[@empanadasfritas7142]

5000 years of music in a bar. This is MUSIC

[@curst666]

Here is a man that truly embraced a bass guitar! I'm not saying others are bad, but I feel most bassists play for the sake of filling a gap, they do not play what a bass can play, they play what others play...

[@mommiemode]

And I feel the AMAZING GRACE all over me. Jan 20 he will be near my city(so I needed to KZbin verify him 😂) and I'm strongly considering taking my 6-year-old son!!! I shall keep you guys posted 😊

[@kevinblack8500]

The death clap is strong at jazz festivals. Love revisiting victor wooten vids tho ❤️

[@CrazedLeper]

Phenomenal. Nobody can play like this guy.

[@alexanderblake3569]

A short popped up on my feed and wow. I never knew a bass could be played like that.

[@rikuzi00007]

I just can't believe my eyes and ears. This is just so amazing and good. Victor is the man.

[@wendyrug]

I adore the way he respects the "blank" spaces.

[@TheWarriorXander]

Don't particularly enjoy the music, but even someone who HATES his style of music has to admit that he is an incredible player and many modern day bass players should aspire to be even half as good as he is. I love watching him play and at least have an appreciation for the effort he puts into his music. Absolutely phenomenal Victor, keep it up.

[@jodhisayogo8154]

amazing grace to watch this epic bass player

[@elbozo5723]

you know youre a good musician when you can make people willingly listen to amazing grace

[@ryplay08]

Thank you Charles for introducing me to this, this is just incredible

[@melitaittracking2126]

There will never be any one like this guy

[@elijahcaudle7365]

I will always come back to this video. His notes give me a osciliope vibe how they just waver but they're solid throughout. Then when he starts funkin he just splashes like glitter on a drum that's multi coloured. Beautiful

[@mUsICmAnINYoMouF]

i seek for great renditions of amazing grace in many different styles on many different instruments, and this one Definitely makes the cut

[@Mizar88]

unbelievable, one of the best bass videos of all time

[@briefencounter1st]

I have always loved this song as well as his mastery of the bass guitar the instrument I have enjoyed during my Brief Encounter days.

[@barrymyanus]

he is a gift to us. we love him so much.

[@johngaynor3093]

Yep, thumbs up.

[@pierrepineau5988]

Just...amazing !

[@NugNux]

1:16 did he just bend the harmonic? how? 😱

[@andresvera4882]

Is a slide, not a bend

[@JXter_]

Perhaps pinkie on the G string? I'm no expert though.

[@TheVirIngens]

Don't think he did that. But should you ever see a need for bending harmonics, it can be done quite easily, at least for lower harmonics, octave and fifth. Just push the string where it doesn't vibrate, so for the octave harmonic on the G string, push or pull on the string exactly above the 12th fret.

[@sergioibarra3461]

Andres Vera it’s a slide harmonic, you basically play the harmonic, press on the fret like the actual metal piece where the harmonic is and you slide, the harmonic should slide like a normal fretted note, this sounds better on fretless bass where there’s no frets to interfeer

[@スパイシーやねん]

Amazing Bass

[@ethanPL]

Audience doesn't suck, it's just overpowered by grace.

[@manolitoysulatinparty]

[@luckyunknown4720]

They're not jerks... They're just not entertained for some reason.

[@BrutishYetDelightful]

DUDE. I listened to the intro, and got up to get the Leicestershire Smallpipes to jam along with this and then about @1:30 it just gets all outside my 9 note range. OK, we'll work it out on the feadog. Victor, I saw you and Bela at Panoply in Huntsville way way back, when my eyes weren't foggy and my joints didn't hurt, and you guys were the high point of my evening. Fabulous work as always, bro.

[@prayunceasingly2029]

[@xAZZAx1]

i'm playing this for my solo performance! :D gosh, soooo difficult to get the harmonics good, and i'm learning by ear, so, 10x the difficulty :// oh well, we bassists do what we must to prove to the world we are real musicians and not jsut people who pluck strings and fiddles with keys. :D i love this song!!!

[@alessiozara5616]

Love

[@ltolleyyyy]

@zebercetul barely touch the fret where the harmonic is while plucking the string.. then immediately afterward, keeping the light pressure on the string, quickly slide to another fret (right above the fret to retain the harmonic) and it should work out for you.

[@richarddangles69]

Goosebumps every mf time. Love this man

[@luckywonderer4068]

[@wilky1189]

@Number4Bass they were both masters of their styles. Cliff Burton helped define metal bass as a lead instrument that could play solo lines and use distortion, rather than sit in the back of the band playing the root. also, his classical training brought a more harmonic sensibility to the music. for example, listen to Orion, especially during the guitar melody in the bridge.

[@iSnipe37]

@edzuks456 he plays in in either standard or A D G C tuning. in this case it's EADG

[@highpointsights]

Can any of you point me toward one of Victors album where he loops his instrument around his neck!! Wanted show it to family!!!! I heard it, failed to document! Went back through 10-12 cuts trying to find it!!! Thanks

[@Yakushii]

Wait, how does he slide a harmonic at 1:16?

[@adamnicholson4857]

Poor Bela Fleck 😂 I love him too ❤❤❤ I didn't realize it was his birthd 1:36 ay
