Victor Wooten Introduction

[@weicat23]

Víctor is a ninja!!!0_0

[@RedWhiteOrthodox]

The best bassist I've ever seen in my whole life! Simply genius...

[@jeremy_rigged]

You all have to see this man play live at least once, I've seen him several times in smaller venues and everytime I had chills and the "little hairs" standing up on the back of my neck... Victor is the Messiah of bass guitar, and a very humble human being to boot.

[@honza_kriz_bass]

Wait a second: I was aware of his bass skills, but this kung-fu and "parkour" shit?!!! U kiddin' me?!!!

[@jakeronly]

victor, is a brilliant teacher to all musicians. to all of us..

[@Mumblefood]

damn, his playing Overjoyed near the end there gave me chills. Haha. Wooten is so fantastic.

[@ryoga1988]

great person... amazing bass player... and unbeliveble man...

[@spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

I used not be really big on Victor Wooten, but as I progressed in my playing, this man is a giant inspiration for me. The things he says blow my mind.

[@josdoc84]

The Best!!! he had perfectly mixed Jaco, Graham, Clarke, Jamerson, the masters of bass...and finally he created his own style, fantastic!!!

[@iamvered]

I have seen him play live several times- he's part of an incredibly talented musical family, the Wooten Brothers- he's a force...

[@mikeman9412]

GOD, He is incredible... I'm speechless

[@Mrphillycheezesteak]

BASSIST OF THE MILLENIUM Victor Wooten is my hero

[@ClaudioMariola]

I'm fortunate enough to have witnessed his phenomenal musicianship in a live performance... it was an incredible experience!!!

[@wilky1189]

this is why i love this guy...he doesn't just play bass...he plays guitar, drums and piano on the bass...

[@Piscesluna]

I must say he is one of the best bass players on earth. Amazing. :)

[@rhettco52]

I love Victor Wooten....not only a deadly musician, but a real wicked guy too! Got to see him in Minneapolis years back...probably the most impressive musician I've ever seen play live.

[@nkakoutoubakoulwabenicharl4792]

You're a monster on the bass wooten , i wish i could play like you do

[@godrock00]

Victor is the most professional man ever... he's professional in every word!!! The best bass player ever alive!!

[@botodcute]

GODLIKE in Bass..no words can explain.

[@MarlonnFuntanilla]

[@ricoakathegreatone]

Musically, Victor is a Man of Great Wisdom.

[@asm502]

[@sadcandy]

Che bravo!!!!! vai victor!!!

[@JohnFHebert]

I'm flying from NYC to Nashville in March to take Victor's Bass/Nature Camp!! I can't wait to learn from this man!

[@luwenger09]

"Music is not a collection of notes, scales, theories, and techniques. Music to me is fulfilling." THAT is the pure way to approach music.

[@botodcute]

GODLIKE in Bass.No words cab explain.

a truly inspirational guy to know and learn from, even if you are learning different musical instruments. he seems really nice too.

[@luibra1]

é o melhor do mundo não vai existir outro...

[@GrahamQueen]

"English is my first language, Music is my second" Truly inspiring.

[@RobertELee01]

Vic is so far ahead of us

[@Javic2112]

This is the mentor to get as a bass player !

[@pbanders]

Gobs of talent, no doubt. But also a tremendous amount of hard work, dedication, practice, sweat, and perseverance. Don't kid yourself for a minute, this guy worked his butt off to get where he is today.

[@heartywhistler]

He was on NPR today with his kids! Amazing! They did an excellent song together.

[@jsem94]

Hah.. I'm so lucky to have seen this guy live.

[@rastapastrychief]

"English is my first language, music is my second, but I learned them at the same time, & in the same way, so what I found is that my approach to music, is different". (3:31) Awesome

[@RoCkErX285]

Best bass player on earth.

[@1993BigNasty]

I LOVE VW!!

[@RH-xs8gz]

Its unfair that one person has so much talent.

[@saphcrnz]

what a wonderful person!!!

[@MegaAndersonpassos]

'm bassist and also do not know any better bassist Victor Wooten. Congratulations, Victor

[@tolipo]

He is magic :')

[@UrbanTaxi99]

I agree with Saxman226... it puts our own efforts into perspective when you hear something as sublime as this, I just thank god that song composing is still an open skill, as if it was just about musicians skill, Victor would be amongst the best that ever lived. Its a joy to appreciate it, and I wish crass American idol shows could be turned into a show case to show real talent like this, the world would be a better place!

[@sanzPerfectstranger1]

one of da great bassist in the world

[@jaydeebassman]

[@NammiNamm95]

[@SpearWieldingOctopus]

Exactly... It's not about how many strings you have, it's how you use them.

[@bard416]

[@jasonBASSPLAYERcary]

I feel very sad for the 18 people that dislike something and someone this amazing!

[@emperorof420]

[@nolanfahey8191]

such a fucking cool way to look at bass, Piano, guitar, drums... god damn i wish my other brother played an instrument, my eldest brother plays guitar and hes sort of been and inspiration to me to begin playing bass and keyboard

[@ThatsFunkedUp]

Woo! Gotta love the 4 stringers!

[@cesarromo1]

one of my favorite bass players, he is awesome. Ryan Martinie (Mudvayne) is another one I love..

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

See I love it how he says "This is not a collection of notes,scales and theory" and at 3:58 I kinda got chills when Vic breathed in like he was singing when he was tapping on his bass

[@clockworxzorange]

i was about to say that was the epic quote of the whole video

[@Moua]

thank you thank you!

[@sullenpuffin]

cool comment man. I agree (I actually do both too and only learnt that Vic did Wing Chun recently), I find the mix of intuition and knowledge is very similar in martial arts and music
