[@skinflowerUK]

Watching this back after having read "The Music Lesson" puts his whole playing style into perspective. He is such an inspiration

[@thebarcodestv]

You are such an inspiration Victor... GOD Bless you and thank you inspiring me to be a better bass player and individual.

[@ATLS702]

that portrait of tracy quote around 3:30 is just blissful

[@cambridgebasslessons]

Yes he does seem to be getting better, lots of practise and a god given talent. Awesome is an understatement for this guy!

[@bassman51able]

Vic. is a freak of bass nature. just an awesome bassist and cool in person when you meet him.he autograph a bass for me when he came to Milwaukee Wisconsin. one of the coldest weather states in America. Great video peace!

[@coolmaster5000]

Actually when he is looping he is practicing his creativity; he uses it as an exercise. He plays some random little line and tries to add to it to make it sound good. He needs to practice while performing because he doesn't have much free time elsewhere to do so. This is part of the reason why he has been able to grow while other musicians tend to "stall". Plus it doesn't hurt that it is entertaining for the audience as well.

[@iwalkonfire]

4:47 I'm dead. man just scoobydoo leggd the board back to the groove .

[@Darkgalahad]

What i especially love about victor is how authentic he is he seems to really really really love what he's doing.

[@ruebene2223]

"So what languages do you speak?" Victor: "Well, my primary language is BASS but I'm pretty fluent in english too."

[@MrEdRobertson]

i could listen to this all day ! 18 min isnt enough !

[@ThatGuitardedGuy]

It was a good time this year. Positive vibes all around

[@Kam_Andrews]

I achieved this same level of awesomeness for one full second. Broke every bone in my fingers in the process....Totally worth it.

[@alanmalmberg1549]

This man has so much God given talent it is absolutely AMAZING!! If I had a thousandth as much talent, I would still be a rich man. I hear you are as good a person as a bass player. My hat's off to you. Only wish that one day I can see you play in person. I played bass when younger but never like this. Didn't know a bass could do so much!

[@SaintedSons]

I could listen to this all day! Love the way he plays bass, I love the Fodera's as well.

[@FourStringsZak]

Watching Victor play always brings a smile to my face, Love his playing its so inspiring.

[@Idlehampster]

Thanks for posting this video. Its really cool to see Victor Wooten play live.

[@emanuelchz5464]

The master .... victor wooten!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@darkmage95]

An incredible musician and great guy. He came down to Florida for a clinic tour in Sam Ash not too long ago, and he literally answered EVERYONE who had a question. There was at least 80 people there.

[@megajames3000]

I'm a guitar player and I love just about everything vic plays! Is timing and improvisations are great

[@dsanders799]

he does things that a beat machine does its amazing victor all the way baddest player of all time he plays with feeling forget age he just bad to the bone knows when to put the chords without any music and stays on beat yes

[@KM-px8cs]

That's the nicest bass I've seen from Fodera.

[@santiagodg94]

I feel so much pleasure hearing that bass.

[@sandersonmphapo2530]

thats fantastic man.i can feel that you do it with all your energy.

[@Firstmajortomlikestoticker]

This is so awesome Victor knows how to enrich and play along with anyone that joins him, I wish i could be better in that regard like Victor

[@slipknot95maggot]

At this point in my life (in my wooten experience specifically) it's not even worth commenting on this to say how good this is or how much I love this. It's just victor doing everything I want him to do exactly how I want him to do it again. It's just another day of music

[@6672rock]

It's simply mind-blowing what he can do with a standard 4-string bass. Players like him, Billy Sheehan and the late Jaco Pastorius never cease to amaze me. More players need to listen to them instead of adding more strings. Nothing against 5 or more strings, but be sure you've exhausted all possibilities with 4 before moving on. These aforementioned guys prove it's damn near impossible!

[@stetlers]

As hard as it is to believe, I think Victor's getting even better. What a Bass Monster!

[@bobomokainis]

The bass whisperer!!

[@adg4982]

Name of the song at 8:20 is "Claim your Power" from Marcela Pinilla for those who are looking for it.

[@Folitro1]

The awesome Victor again... so cool!

[@DAKstudios]

Fodera ultra lights. Victor got me hooked on those strings and I use them on all of my basses.

[@AvengedRuleTheWorld]

This guys finger tips must be like concrete.

[@WTHFX]

I think is getting much better with time. He's becoming more musical.

[@flexcamp]

I think you're right, he just gets better and better..

[@joaomatosbass]

uns dos melhores baixista que eu vi em toda minha vida ...maravilhoso !!!

One of the Best!

[@JACKSONPRYORBENNETT]

Thanks!

[@naskoj36]

I love that littel tribute part he did from 3:23 foward. I could Identify pieces of Sharay Reed, Jaco, Marcus Miller, Mark Peric, and others... GREATNESS!!!!

[@ashfaqtulu9027]

Truly Awesome

[@SweetestCrimeBand]

THANKS VICTOR ...GROOVE YEAHHHHHHHHHH

[@DJBillLovelace]

Love it!

[@juninholimaofficial]

Wow! Awesome video my brother! :) Greetings from Brazil! Juninho

[@dianeanderson-aidoo8734]

Wowwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheJoshinator1]

With all due respect (and I understand your position), he IS playing the bass. If you watch carefully, the only thing he looped was a rhythm track - everything else was done live, at least for the first eight minutes. Looping is a tool, just like any other technique, and I think it can be used well or poorly. In this video, I think Victor used it well and not so much as to be distracting.

[@JACKSONPRYORBENNETT]

This is awesome, I love when he just jams instead of playing his songs all the time.

[@juliusangkawijaya]

Please come to Indonesia in java jazz festival 2014. Awesome,

[@flipnik]

I love that he's not that polished anymore. This is obviously just a jam, but I get the sense that he's getting a bit rougher around the edges. Which is great, gives it a little more intensity and heart. It has made me check him out again after years of not giving a s**t. His ideas are as great as ever though, tonally as well as rhytmic.

[@phillglover1163]

Buckethead has that funk in his bass playing. I like both of em

[@cluxseltoot]

You my friend are one very talented man.

[@MoneyOverFame]

Wooten is currently the best bass player to me.

[@MarkLindell]

Every time I watch a new Vic video I have to rewind to see "WTF did he just do"

[@ECalebR]

yo victor .. whatsoever you i want u too remember dis here...you've got a greatness ore....

[@jakewors6488]

me too i love them!!! i have such control when i play

[@Theoneaboveandbelow]

I can only hope to be as good as this guy.

[@murphycaa]

Amazing!!

[@stuntman3495]

When I read that I thought "no way", but after listening I have to agree. His groove is unbelievable.

[@CthulhusDystopia]

12:08 Victor thinks to himself... "In the pocket... in the pocket... just like my hand, stay in the pocket."

[@ylcn77ylcn]

very nice great

[@ylcn77ylcn]

[@joelee8917]

[@TheJoshinator1]

Funny thing is, he almost was... Started playing at 2-3, performing on stage with his brothers at age 6. As you said, unreal.
