Victor Wooten - Bass Extremes /// Scott's Bass Lessons

[@sembatimothynkalamo8986]

I'm a simple man.. I see Victor, i click

[@Volvandese]

Same

[@dsutkin]

same

[@Tha.Riddick]

ye ye ye !

[@makalu69]

So true... Have you read his book? Its an education.

[@vinekolladiv4494]

Heck yeah

[@glennjones6004]

What a treat. "Just a bass player." Some people will never understand the joy of holding down the bottom, being the foundation upon what so much gets built.

[@Jakeman90210]

he's the humblest monster on the planet

[@henryhill92]

It'd be great if you could get Pino on the show!

[@Ferbocarbo]

yeeeeeeeees

[@MagickFlavour]

Oh yeah!

[@Saxement]

I mean, has the man even done intervies in the last 3 years? That would be a SCOOP!

[@ATLS702]

Henry Hill pleeeeassseee

[@CumbernauldMedia]

oh wow Victor, what an inspiration. I loved his video where he said "don't worry about making a mistake your only one fret away from the right note" I play a lot of stuff that's only one fret away :)

[@dylankrogers]

Ah, I remember the first time I heard Victor Wooten: 1992 or 1993, A Jazz Festival aired on PBS and he was playing with the Fleck Tones. I was just a beginner on the bass with dreams of touring and such. I quickly inserted a VHS tape and recorded the rest of the festival and watched that over and over.

[@stevelundgren2938]

Victor did a clinic at a local music store. It was great. He's such an incredible person. He played for us for quite a while. Completely improvised with a looper pedal to add parts on top. He was totally in the moment. But that's how he lives. And he talks about music and life. To him, being a great human being is more important than being a great musician.

[@zerstorenser]

Scott you said 'ye ye ye ye ye ye' like 10000 times man Jesus man

[@einarabelc5]

wouldn't you?

[@zerstorenser]

No, you don't need to say 'ye' repeatedly to show acknowledgement

[@ungoliath69]

Hes sitting next to the goat. what are you supposed to say.

[@avatacron60]

Lmao!

[@corneroftheroom3896]

holy shit thats victor fuckin wooten

[@matthewgarcia7376]

The man himself!! How!! What!! Wow!!

[@andrewnatanael2721]

wow he's the legend

[@uriman9502]

"ye ye ye ye ye"

[@fique2209]

Ye ye ye ye

[@Lightningspiner]

Ye

[@gian6072]

was about to comment the same thing lol

[@avatacron60]

oh, ye ye ye.

[@mynameisryeguy]

It would be really hard to contain boyish excitement whilst talking to Mr. Wooten, I think.

[@JohnDoe-hb6xl]

this is one of my favourite interviews, wooten is an absolute legend and a genuinely humble guy.

[@johnbreen7867]

Has anyone read Wooten's book, "The Music Lesson"?It gave me a new perspective on the marriage between sound and spirit... truly amazing!

[@einarabelc5]

me

[@KeithCasper]

Showy AND honestly humble. Thank you.

[@therootiesttootiestcowboyi9561]

Thats VICTOR FUCKING WOOTEN

[@joaomenegalebarbi1586]

Victor is my hero. The reason why I started playing. I just hope that one day i'll be able to shake his hand.

[@PeterChampagne]

Victor is exceedingly calm in this video. Really seems focused on his words and their delivery. You can see he plays like he is.

[@Daniel-eo9gk]

The man, the myth, the legend!

[@pjmuck]

Met Victor a couple of times at NAMM over the years. One of the nicest and approachable geniuses you'll ever meet.

[@burgers1]

Now all you need is Les Claypool And the almighty Pino on this show and you've had my three favourite bassists.

[@warcraftiireplays7426]

well-said vic. i always really prefer when vic plays fingerstyle bass lines or if he must solo plays fingerstyle. bass playing is the coolest thing ever. i've been playing 20 years this month and still love it.

[@ChadHargis]

Vic is simply a good guy. I've had the pleasure of meeting him a few times and he's always been a genuinely nice guy.

[@eddybhere]

Man Victor seems like such a super chill, down to earth guy. And obviously a ridiculous master of the bass. Love it!

[@einarabelc5]

Man, you gotta watch his Ted talk and if possible read his book too.

[@christiankrueger2330]

You should catch him live sometime. One of the best shows I've seen, really groovy, really positive, really awesome - loved it.

[@condundrop]

I love Victor. Such a great musician who knows the value of accompanying. It's funny to hear that he somewhat regrets being known for his chops.

[@enriquemendez8524]

i love how this video starts. no intro needed or anything. oh you know. JUST HERE WITH WOOTEN

[@tjrankin3434]

Vic is awesome. Ive always said that he's my favorite bassist because of his basslines, not his soloing, amazing as it is. I'm glad to hear him talk about that difference.

[@BassByTheBay]

Victor is really the model for hard work and humility. Just love the guy.

[@tonypalacios]

Scott, I remember seeing your very first videos and now you have grown to this....Well done. Love your attitude

[@kensitchon634]

everything he says is true, bass chops are amazing and great but playing pocket and laying down the groove is what gets you paid

[@Kydoz3663]

Amazing video! I'm so glad you got to do a one-on-one with Wooten! As usual, I love the stuff you upload. You do a lot for us low end lovers.

[@PunyapatFungtammasarn]

Thank you for sharing this video, it's very inspiring.

[@DeRepear]

Wow, can't believe you got Victor, one of my favourite bass players ever.

[@ivancarling]

Knew Victor back in the early days in Nashville. A lovely guy, but he totally mortified me when he showed up with a cello and worked for a lady singer-songwriter's showcase gig - playing it a WEEK after he got it!

[@jonki1980]

I saw Victor live and he is truly brilliant, enough said.

[@emmanuelk.severeek7869]

Victor Wooten, great bass player inspiration. Thank you Scott.

[@davidcastrofayad4039]

I saw Victor playing in South America, everybody was asking for "U´Can hold No groove", and he just played Latin music with a singer...Let me tell you man.... An absolute monster doing basic and punchy accompaniment lines! 4Real.

[@einarabelc5]

I'm so happy for you!!! awesome!! he's my favorite bass player and I love and adore his book!!!

[@lamusico7746]

my eyes are sweating because of the site of this.

[@ChapuleTaylor]

yes, victorwooten.com is really sweaty.

[@trevwings9438]

Top 10 anime crossovers

[@Ezio9791]

wtf hahaha

[@alonsomiranda2598]

Trev Wings ONE PUNCH MAN

[@f.demascio1857]

VIC! So glad to see this video. Victor is the man!

[@Bass.Player]

Coooool! Being able to play behind the singer kept me working for years. I have always been a support player and never did a solo gig... (I was never asked specifically to do it either)

[@petarstojko]

Who are the sad soul that dislike a video like this?

[@UprightBassist]

Petar Stojko I guess, exactly those people who expect solos, and only solos, from Mr. Wooten…!

[@gustave5169]

How sad can you be to focus on 10 dislikes when more than 1900 people liked the video ;)

[@joseedilson-h1r]

Oh my God!!!! these are for me the best ..... show !!!!

[@Jason5818UI]

lol Scott saying "really" when Vic talking about Marcus miller and his range as a bassist ...Marcus Miller is an influential legend who is constantly getting emulated by bass players young and old ...appeared on almost 600 albums...he's a very well balanced bass player..a whole lot more depth to him than just slap

[@doxx2427]

I watched the entire video on Scott's website, Victor is loaded with great tips! I see/feel music differently now. Thanks Scott. Can you get Marcus on an interview? ?

[@jackbho6594]

"Yeah" "Yeah yeah yeah yeah" "Yeah yeah" "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah" "Really?" "Yeah yeah yeah" "Hahaha" "Yeah" "Yeah yeah" This is why I simply nod when talking to famous bassists.

[@MarkLindell]

Man... why did you have to point that out. That's all I hear now. :-(

[@maddoxtroy683]

Remember that time when you played that song.. with the solo? That was awesome

[@TheLaserProduct]

wow, the master himself O.O

[@Lucas_S91]

I don't know Victor's music very well, but he is genuinely one of the nicest guys ever. You should really check out his TED talk about music as a language and his book The Music Lesson. Both have inspired my playing very much.

[@einarabelc5]

Ditto. I love his playing with Steve Smith

[@einarabelc5]

Ditto. I love his playing with Steve Smith

[@shredfast4819]

OMGGGG VICTOR WOTTEN... I LOVE YOUUUUU MANNN

[@Kickbasser]

What an awesome conversation!! Vic is da maaan!! :D

[@javerenzoaugustinejao4729]

thanks Scott for this! I love Victor Wooten

[@K100music]

My hero!

[@juancpgo]

his two heroes are Stanley Clarke and Marcus Miller

[@MrCpd20]

Super Stuff , Great Advice from a master !

[@in2gadgets]

What a great guy - and a great interview!!

[@stevesekora]

Victor is an inspiration

[@KruQ13579]

Hey Scott! Long time watcher and KZbin student. Just curious, but could you make a video about the intro and outro tracks on your videos? It sounds killer! I was able to transpose the first walk up but the crazy lick after I'm having some trouble. Anyway, thanks for these dope videos! They help out a lot! 😅

[@supremesaiyan1509]

I've never clicked on a video so fast in my life damn. love Victor

[@rattlesnakeneckties3718]

Excellent! !

[@kenneth3617160]

who's the bass player he mentions at 2:34? 'lees glar'? lee scar?

[@ludvig9184]

Lee Sklar

[@kenneth3617160]

Thanks!

[@vincentm614]

Wow scott! You da man! You got victor wooten!!

[@MLing-q5x]

No way, it's him. ITS HIMMMMMM

[@stevenblack2727]

Did either of you guys get to meet Wayman Tisdale before he passed? Thoughts on his bass ability?

[@fahering]

Great guy! Good advice!!

[@MrRandompower]

Hey Scott! Have you met or listened to Janek Gwizdala? Would be cool to see him on the channel! Hes super cool!

[@tomg.8377]

I jizzed when he said that Marcus has more chops than what we see from him...

[@mrfullofcrap]

Had a dream about this dude. INsane

[@dorminxd]

(Uncle)Tito Victor! I love this man!

[@MrBass89]

amazing interview!!

[@daviddansereau1793]

Very enjoyable!

[@ejipuh]

"Ye(h)." -Scott

[@taps87]

Jajaja Scott tiene la misma cara que tendria yo si estuviera hablando con victor wooten, unos cracks los dos!

[@calinvama1999]

What a guy!

[@chrislctr]

Awesome!

[@cunninghamguitarz9828]

Nice interview

[@scottavius4444]

Amazing video

[@jackbho6594]

Drinking game: Everytime Scott says "ye," take a drink.

[@jestersquest7692]

2 great DUDES!

[@BestBassTabs]

Awesome!!

[@trevcornwall8160]

Legend!!! And very cool dude!

[@tinyigloo]

Yeah

[@nessmalone]

WHEN TITANS COLLIDE!!!

[@Kenbahr]

Great bass player!

[@lalythil]

if only we got to see those two jam together....

[@ckrysl3l036]

Gostaria que alguém fizesse legendada em português nesses vídeos.

[@chrapladm]

Such a tease!!!!!! LOL Thanks for the taste either way

[@FrankWilleke]

His hands look like he can crush raw potatoes with them.

[@DeForest]

Frank Willeke well...he IS from Idaho.....ok, bad joke. Bye now.

[@theBarzeen]

No joke. I'm a world class powerlifter and after shaking his hand I can attest that he's got the grip!

[@goyboy42]

That always strikes me about Victor when I watch him. I always assume great bass players have long, lithe fingers - my excuse for my terrible playing is I have inherited fingers like cows' teats from my Dad. But Victor's hands look compact and powerful...but he manages to play his amazing chops with such a minimum of movement, effort and grace. Brilliant interview.

[@enricolongo242]

Legend

[@DystopianMonkeyMan]

Scotty is giggling the whole video hehe. But I understand - I like V.W. too.

[@mrfullofcrap]

reallllyyyyy ... yeah yeah yeah

[@salahalawi1170]

beautiful just beautiful :)

[@PhilosophicalCat]

7 dwarves disliked this video. Their names are: Goofy, Grumpy, Jelly, Dopey, Trolly, Deafy, and Lazy

[@GChris-ny8fp]

For some reason, which I can't pinpoint, I think VW would do really interesting things with John Petrucci

[@grandmapussydestoryer6669]

ITS FUCKING VICTOR WOOTEN!!!

[@tomergoldstein9422]

(yeah yeah yeah" (scott 2016"

[@calebdesjardins616]

I think it’s awesome that he would rather just sit in the pocket and play a bass line than solo.

[@bassclefconnoisseur]

Yo Victa! '):

[@tomt8691]

Victor=Sore thumb.Suweet!

[@deldia]

Full interview?! Said click some weird button.
