Victor Wooten AMAZING "Yesterday" Cover Jam, @ NAMM2011

[@OtherRaptor]

"If I could sing like that, I wouldn't be playing bass." lol! No matter how well Victor Wooten plays, he's always humble. That's what I truly appreciate about Victor Wooten.

[@shaunbeakley348]

it's a good thing he can't sing like that

[@deronholzschu9207]

Oh yeah

[@dogonamission]

Yeah I can sing n play bass but i'm not a 6 x grammy winning bass player........Yet😎

[@aquamarine99911]

@@dogonamission So could the actual composer of this song. But he did okay with himself.

[@dogonamission]

@@aquamarine99911 Yeah Look I don't live in USA an feel leaving was a good thing for me i'm not famous but get to do what i love to do full-time which brings good people together, am honoured & grateful

[@PhilosophicalCat]

Honestly, Victor Wooten is the happiest-looking musician I've ever seen. He's also the reason I got into bass. Keep on playing :)

[@greasyharold2653]

I don't think anyone can beat the drummer in Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" video

[@LeaSenMusic]

have you guys heard of michael league from snarky puppy

[@grahamlong5242]

Although he is in a completely different genre, the happiest I have ever seen is Devin Townsend. He's a prog metal guitarist and vocalist. There aren't many performers who have more fun playing than him.

[@lukerussell2203]

Reid Copping true but have u seen Chris thile 😂

[@girishumar6313]

Also,Tommy Emmanuel!

[@doufupanda]

Yesterday, I thought I knew how a bass could play. Now I see all my skills are passe. Oh how I dream, of yesterday...

[@kylemundy8871]

What I love most about Victor is his willingness to take risks. It's not always flawless, but it's raw and beautiful.

[@MrLogantrainor]

In Victors book "a Music Lesson" he writes that its not the instrument that creates the music its the artist, the Instrument is simply a utensil for the artist. All you hear is Victor, his interpretation, his heart, his magic.

[@rileymerino6340]

Too many people forget that we call it an “instrument” for a reason. Nobody plays the socket wrench or the stethoscope, they’re instruments; a means to an end of getting a job done. Yet, for some reason, we label ourselves as “bassists” or “saxophonists”, placing the emphasis on the wrong idea. The music exists inside of you, not on some inanimate object. Pull the music out of your bass!

[@marildoairosa1971]

Victor is the best, no doubt. My props goes to the guy on vocals. Very good singer. 👌🏾🫶🏾🙌🏾👍🏽

[@nickpro11]

I'm crying. He has such fantastic technique, and such a good understanding of what makes a melody beautiful

[@adriansepulvedaz]

I'm in the parking lot. Alone. Outside the hospital waiting for my fathers. They are worried about my grandpa's health. He's not good. I found this and I cried too. Is such an emotional cover. Victor is such an artist and the guy in vocals as well. I cried and I needed it!

[@moodybuddha]

Victor 'Constantly in the flow state' Wooten, what a legend!

[@TheYear1201]

This is still such a masterpiece 😭 So glad I remembered this existed

[@Spaccaspecchi]

I've been coming here for like 6 years. Truly amazing performance.

[@allifonso]

his phrasing is incredible. when i hear him playing its like if he was speaking. literally. i have that feeling when i hear Miles, Keith Jarrett and some great musicians. this is music.

[@Mainbusfail]

Just learned the song Sunday. Wow. I am 50 and still learning how to play those songs....... in my head. What a GOAT Wooten is.

[@TheyCallMeNoobieButItsNewBa]

wow. just wow

[@FriendM2010]

Playing bass like it’s lead guitar, awesome! Jus bought first looper pedal, I’m gonna be a rock star before my 61st birthday next year 🤘

He's probably the greatest bass player anyone has ever heard.

This cover was my favourite 11 years ago and still is. They are magical! True musicians🙏❤️

[@dugdiamond]

Man how can anyone not like this? I love Victor Wooten, His work always lifts my spirit! Such a great bassist, musician and human being. I've watched his career grow and throughout his rise to worldwide fame he has remained unpretentious, approachable, and generous sharing his time and space with the public. Such an uplifting soul.... I love hearing him just throwing down a jam, his up close improvisation is some of the most entertaining jaw dropping performances I have ever seen. Truly awesome!!! Yeah I think you could say i like this.....

[@JohnDoe-tu7ho]

dugdiamond There is such a peaceful spirit that just flows out of him. He has a warm glow that you just want to absorb.

[@ethanlocke3604]

Beau Lijah Didn’t know the bass was capable of that? Try looking up some other victor wooten bass jams or basically any song with Marcus Miller or jaco pastorious

[@susiemuirhead561]

@@JohnDoe-tu7ho You should read his book called "The Music Lesson". It gives you a "feel good" vibe.

[@tunestar]

This is how you make a perfect song even more perfect (if that's even possible).

[@groofay]

This was so much more than I expected. Victor Wooten is just astounding.

[@andrelinonugroho6692]

if someday i start to play bass and leave my guitar,it's because of you victor wooten.

[@RyanB747]

That has happened to me, I bought a bass 3 weeks back and I haven't touched my guitars since I've had it, and I've been playing the six string twanger now for 7 years...

[@LimewaterMusic]

Did it ever happen to you because it absolutely happened to me lol

[@mev200]

Ugh. I wish I could have a high-quality studio-recording of this. I'd pay more then a dollar for this cover alone. So amazing

[@Gcina_music]

the last part !!! oh my God, am crying.

[@Techdrome]

I'm shivering!!!! This singer!!!

[@SHelob31]

An endless flooding of beautiful notes like a waterfall always serving the song, technically at the highest level people and in particular us musicians could ever imagine!

[@TheSoxmania]

samvt so true XD

[@BirdsAtDaybreak]

[@chrisbellevue]

That's how you pimp a bass! I never thought much about the bass till I heard Victor play "The Lesson" and I've been a believer ever since. He's an amazing talent!

[@thecaveman7]

I’ve been watching this video for years now. Some how I’m always coming back

[@ghostwolf77]

This guy is so amazing that he takes our bass to new levels of total endeavor and makes it look so easy. I would say in my time on this instrument, he is the best I have ever seen...bar none.

[@duck17ish]

this is why i love music so much.

[@RisingSilent]

As soon as he started playing the actual song, tears started running down my cheeks. God, this is so much beautiful. This is the magic of music for me..

[@kingMidas77]

This man is the reason I'm still playing bass.

[@MarioValienteT]

The best of the best. He plays beautiful, he's truly amazing, no comparison, my primal inspiration. He's just the best ever.

[@israelelizondo9003]

GREAT SONG I HAVE NEVER LISTENED BEFORE WITH MR. WOOTEN AND THIS GREAT SINGER!!! AWESOME!!!

[@marianm.6051]

There are no words to describe this piece of art. Also, the singer's voice somewhat reminded me of Stevie Wonder so it's nice to learn that he sings for Stevie as a backing vocal!

[@KenKenn17]

This version is really pretty, especially in the last part. Victor Wooten is really great. The singer is awesome too.

[@TheYeremo]

I've watched this video like 38 times and still love it.

Hard work only gets you so far, Vic has something 99% of people couldn't achieve even with hard work, I guess you could say God has some part in this.

[@kazodrummer]

everytime i listen to and watch victor, i smile from ear to ear.

[@FrontSightful]

Great clip!!! If you haven't seen Vic play live, add it to your bucket list ... amazing! He gets into a zone and takes you right along with him. I got the chance to talk to him at a Flecktones show last summer and he was the friendliest, most down-to-earth real guy ... talked to me for a while and made me feel like we were old friends. Go see him, you won't regret it.

The bass is very underestimated in my opinion. The things Victor can do with with a bass is truly astonishing. He knows what groove actually is. He is a pure genius

I've never seen someone play the bass so well. Woot woot Wooten! :D
