8 Years ago was the last comment on this. Crazy. Victor is an absolute maestro.

[@southpaw117]

I used to bike across Ontario with this song in my playlist 15 years ago. Haven't heard this in quite some time and had to come back to it.

[@jeffayoe7468]

yeah

[@nickburtz4545]

Glad to see people enjoying this man today!!! I watched a lot of Victor Wooten videos to learn bass when I was young. Sadly, his talent completely discouraged me and I directed my attention towards a keyboard. I still always loved watching/listening to him play, in complete awe of this mans talent!

[@derpherbert3199]

I tried to find this video for a long time but somehow the algo would not show it to me despite multiple very specific search bar entries such as "amazing grace - victor wooten/bela fleck and the flecktones" and still no results except Michael Palmisano's interview of Cory Wong with them both listening to this video on stream, I thought it had been taken down since then. This entire concert but the virtuoso part of that solo in particular is permanently etched into my brain, real happy to find the OG video they reacted to.

[@shogunjobu]

Here today...

[@fileuserm93]

Man, haven’t seen this solo in years, had to see it again after his philosophical lecture on music is win channel

[@SHIFTYCHEF]

The harmonic "Amazing Grace" incorporation is so beautiful. Hell, the whole piece is, for that matter..... just masterful.

[@jared_s2]

How can anybody (bassist/musician/instrumentalist) not CRY when they watch him?

[@wenchiang12]

This was the man who brought me to play the bass. No matter how I see it he's still amazing!

[@leelasmoochie]

I can’t say how much I listened to them and watched this…it’s tatted on my soul. This opened me up to different genres of music ❤❤❤❤

[@Conquerorbrown]

Amazing grace indeed❤

[@eflows]

Back in the early ‘90s I saw the Flecktones at Telluride, never having heard any of their music and with no idea who the Wooten bros were. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He completely blew my mind. And he’s only gotten better.

[@gargan1977tua]

All I can say is "Damn!" That guy is amazing.

[@wildernesspath1]

some of the best stuff you'll ever hear

[@WeirdestGuy29]

One of the amazing things about the bass is that you can pop (artificial) harmonics out of almost any string because of the sheer girth of them. Victor is amazing. Met him once... a truly spiritual man with a gift!

[@BrandonMalone-x1b]

Master of groove...im a bass player..and he makes every single note groove...hes so good

[@arrestedcriminal2]

Great version of the Gospel "Amazing Grace"!

[@TerryValhalla]

Masterful! 🏆❤️

[@490coolkid]

Amazing stuff right here.

[@JeffIsJello]

i love the harmonics being played this.

[@astralrock]

Amazing solo. Especially the part with harmonics. :)

[@tubesterdudester]

Victor! You are the main man!

[@wawazonzon24]

My mother once told me: "What's with the bass, anyway? It's like a guitar, only less important." Then I showed her some Victor Wooten. Case closed!

[@BrendanShelley-h5e]

Most amazing bass player 😮

[@davidlewis8814]

Inconceivable brilliance

[@wenchiang12]

Look at the audiences' expression. I am sure that's the reason why he's one of the best!

[@percyvolnar8010]

This bass of his was the best!

[@SirGigalot941]

Victor appears to have his bass tuned E-A-D-F# (vs. the standard E-A-D-G). He uses mostly 2nd, 3rd, and 4th order harmonics to play the melody on Amazing Grace (over the 5th fret or just behind the 4th fret). In the jazz groove and end tag, he alters the bass line for an alternate chord feel. At the end, he slides the bass note down to the root (G) while he picks the A harmonic at the 5th fret - and "bends" the note up to a B with his tuner. So creative, Victor... love to see it.

[@Anythingidontreallycare]

Nah he’s tuned A-D-G-C (in 4ths, but a 4th higher)

[@hyelayudasamson4497]

Okay, this is about to blow up again definitely. The KZbin algorithm got a sense of humor. Been looking for this for a long time. I'm from Nigeria

[@викторроманенко-к3ь]

I love VICTOR WOOTEN!!!!!

[@wenchiang12]

Seen this in a few years back and I could still groove to it. Really nice!

[@ForsakenCrusnik]

That....is true talent. This man inspires me to become a better musician

[@miracleabutu8607]

This guy is just crazy!!!

[@relaxmethods6958]

I hope this video reaches more people 🙏🏿

[@Bungordi]

fantastic. and the end... the best melody what I heard

[@Bratchus]

the most amazing thing i've ever heard...this is groove !

[@helloitsnicko]

Spine tingling stuff at the end. Damn.

[@salm37]

Number 1 in my book!

[@slowmobius7114]

Just wow

[@techno22322]

He seems to be in trance, he sure does master his art!

[@napoficial7123]

We need a band with a bass doing rthms and other doing melodies and solos, that will be the future music band

[@Eddie-qx7cx]

Genious

[@wildernesspath1]

WOW! Speechless!

[@headusek]

20 yers i love this

[@EduardoSilva-on7jn]

Isso é impossível... só pode ser mágica

[@XaeroQ3]

Great, Nice version!

[@alembicfunkbass]

Who needs a band when you play like Victor.

[@dcsilvacify]

Mestre toca assim!

[@wesrose4258]

To all the music majors watching this in 2024, go practice.

[@naudycelestin-pe7wp]

December 21th 2024🎉❤ still sounds good 😢

[@hakan1512]

crazy man! we love you!

[@HectorJulioSanchezInda]

Great Master!!!. Thank You!!!.

[@SethWestmore]

I like how at 3:30 he almost starts messing with the crowd (who has 0 rhythm) but speeding it up to match them them going way out of the crowds ability. That is a good way to not get thrown off beat wise...lol...I am positive that's what he was doing.

[@Luis-hp6sd]

Gracias

[@MegamanZX1987]

wonderfull

[@rafahyven]

simples o melhor!!!

[@mauriziofenderico8348]

VIRTUOSO in the noblest sense. Michael has redefined and redesigned the instrument. JACO would be proud (and e.e. Cummings of course!)😊😂

[@AWESOMEaustin99]

If you dont have this DVD...go buy it....now, it's amazing

[@axetu]

Pro grade. All the way

[@Garrett7789]

His newest (i think) album, Palmystery, is very good...I'd definitely check it out.

[@AccendoWorld]

That riff from 3:13 - 3:17 is absolutely delicious.

[@ReNoirIN]

Banjo on the Bass... Dat be Victor

[@EmmanuelWoji-d6t]

Baba my fada 4 life....

[@Ked566]

Wow. Talent on loan from God

[@wiltedjourneys]

For sure

[@BrandonMalone-x1b]

That dude in the green shirt ..only one standing...it grooved so hard he couodnt sit...he must be a bassist

[@XRETRYHD]

Old comment. Thank you ;-)

[@boskeub]

Amazing Grace

[@AlwaysNextGen]

Does Victor Wooten have an album with just instrumental songs on it? If he has one I'm buying it immediately!

[@martinspill4321]

❤❤❤

[@enzostranobass]

Very nice

[@Ghefly]

it looks like hes just randomly dragging his thumb over the strings! he makes it look so easy

[@bensving]

hero for life think he¨s the best ever

[@panharry]

Does anyone know where I can watch this concert in its entirety? I used to have this concert on a disc but it's been lost.

[@Elessar135]

If you have active pickups they aren't as hard as it might seem but to pull off what Vic is doing isn't exactly easy by any means either.

[@Rkanox]

to the 5 ppl who don't like the vid...rid the world of your presence.

[@yeedoh]

can anyone please tell me what classical song that is that he is doing arpegios in the beginning? i wanna try and learn it on guitar

[@FLAVIOTRAVINCAS]

very gooddd

[@malik324]

so damn nice

[@GynoGrinda]

speechless

[@MastaOfTheBass]

at 2:50 is that a technique or a foot pedal

[@thtmusicloser]

accuttly his bass is tuned to "tenor bass" tuning which is a fith higher, its not tuning really its just the strings, you put a A D G C string setting on your bass (same as the 6 string basses first 4 strings) so yea

[@Twolinecrew]

this rocks

[@splatterbabble]

@kareemie Because the bass is the right instrument for Victor.

[@666TheBassKing666]

@kellynkarr my favorite part is the replay button

[@dijohn17]

this sounds like amazing grace...

[@MrTruckdriver2011]

It oughta be against the law to be that good!

[@SomeKrazyDude]

LOL thats funny!!! These videos of Victor are actually videos the where filmed in the 90's, so thats why he is always wearing that type of clothing.

[@poopynonsense]

it is amazing grace...

[@Flinstones95]

@AWESOMEaustin99 that's the point in harmonics ;]

[@vittofel7922]

F*ckin awesome! 5*

[@AWESOMEaustin99]

i know, it's like he isn't even touching the strings and just waving his hand over them!!!

[@MastaOfTheBass]

do u know what its called?

[@hanger1800]

VICTOR WUTANG

[@godlikemeverymuch]

waw...

[@Cblake92]

what kind of basses does he play?

[@RexSokobi-hc3sq]

What's the lyrics of. The song

[@nscott88]

2:46-2:49 is Vic's "Yeah, I know I'm the shit" look.

[@JAMiie03]

hey did he improv all of this?

[@XRETRYHD]

true..

[@robzombie545]

The Music he channels always allows me to forgive his interesting choices of clothing.

[@YounGun88]

2024

[@adambanks856]

1:37 (for my records)

[@Lucifall]

Simple. By being inspired by his playing.
