Victor Wooten Solo Live

Vic plays a solo and then goes into Mad Hatter w/ Jeff

[@JustPracticingProductions]

Now that is music that i will never tire of. I love Victor Wooten

[@1bls]

Wooten is an innovative, technical, bluesy, soulful, all in one. Nice job Mr. Wooten.

[@Siberianhusky89]

This is one of the very few bass players I could ever actually get into... The first person I ever heard was the Flea, but I never got into him, he just didn't sound that good to me, eventually, I accidentally ran into Victor Wooten while searching for a Flea video to see if my mind would change, and I saw Vic... I jizzed myself at least a million times... He's amazing...

[@micheloderso]

Yes Sir, Bass is the bridge from Drums to the rest of the instruments. Victor is one of the best Bass Guitarist i've ever heard!!

[@BigHosMan]

You are a true professional and a true musician,BeDaMusik. People always compare the bass to the guitar because they are both stringed instruments.Like apples and oranges.The two are completely different.Guitar is melody/harmony and bass is rhythm/beat. You are pretty cool...uh for a guitar player I mean. :P ;)

[@Billerd4]

when you go to a concert, its always diffrent, thats the buety of live performance. recording just gives people a chance to see one particular part of an event.

[@jodiontube]

Agree with most of you guys!! Whover thinks that bass isn't an essential instrument - whether they are into jazz, country, rock, heavy metal...whatever....I challenge you to listen to it without bass and not think there is something MASSIVE missing....BECAUSE THERE WILL BE!!

[@jakeronly]

i love the green blue color! victor owns the stage!!

[@Cash123165]

wow man that´s sick! incredible! just he´s a god of the bass!

[@JustinJaybrown]

If you think bass sucks you just don't know that it is the second most important instrument in any style of music. Bass and drums are the rhythm, which in football terms they would bee the linemen. If you listen to music you hear the bass. The bass moves you, it sets the grove.

[@Jshnizzoor]

@BeDaMusik Bass is FUN to play, there is just so many different things that can be done, and since bass is so underrated there are more people coming out these days and showing up even their own guitarists. I am a Metalhead, of many forms except the bad stuff, and I love coming back and finding bassists from all sorts of music like Jazz Funk fusion and it just sounds so cool. There are definitely many non metal musicians that inspire me. Thank you Victor Wooten for being one of them.

[@Misfits9110]

@BeDaMusik That's the truth! Bass adds depth and helps keep everybody on the same page. It translates the drums for the guitar. Every band needs a bassist =) I love playing bass a hell of a lot more than plaing guitar that's for sure, and people do need to appreciate us bassist.

[@LaurentLaborde]

It's victor wooten's bass, and it's priceless :)

[@corrda1993]

I love his loop pedal chromatic thing. I remember seein him doin that in ottawa once. Cool stuff.

[@B455PL4Y3R]

I like Wooten so much, i think his technique with the thumbing is amazing...

[@Kotlettchef]

Danke das wir an deiner Liebe zum Funk teil haben können.

[@corrda1993]

He used to be in bela fleck and the fleck tones. He recently Joined SMV with Stanley and Marcus. He also does solo.

[@jjoaopaulo]

I don't know what to say....this guy amazes me every time....does someone know in wich CD is the music Mad Hatter?Your the men Vic! Peace

[@ScaldingHotSoup]

@christianfff nope, Jeff Coffin. He's playing with the DMB now, but has also played with Bela Fleck. This is Jeff Coffin's Mu'Tet.

[@koudoutych]

victor wooten technique is very fantasy, victor is an virtuose

[@lovesthebass]

lol, I think you were at the same show that that James Ross guy was at and taped this song as well.

[@CmajAmin88]

its a fodera monarch, if you go to the signature area you can see his "number 1" or just go to the monarch area and see similar models to his.

[@catanche]

esas fusiones estan muy buenas....

[@lovesthebass]

@ericoulthwaite I'm glad you shared your opinion. It is highly valued here.

[@CmajAmin88]

bass central usually has some in stock or just call the Fodera Shop during business hours a latina lady will answer she can answer all your questions

[@augdog188]

I haven't seen him play a Fodera with 2 jazz pickups before. Usually it's his ying yang bass or the other Monarch with the p/j combo.

[@raoulfeb]

AMAZIIIINGGGGGG !!!!!

[@GladRags]

Basslines give the atmoshpere of a song. Respect the bass or die!!!!!

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

SOUL MUSIC!!!

[@80metra]

meravigliosoooooooooo

[@CarlosGarayG]

I agree with that, my only point is that not everything can be improvised (Victor does not play free jazz, he plays fusin)... most people like the message from the CD, so the interpret may present that AND a new, improvised one.

[@RHCP10206]

the bass isn't a backround, unessential instrument, it is vital for filling the gap in the levels of sound. the drums and the guitar and vocals would sound flimsy and hollow without the level filled by the bass. Oh yea and It sounds amazing, larry graham, victor wooten, stanely clarke, marcus miller, all animals.

[@Saxement]

If you listen, you think: This is soo relaxed.. allmost easy.. and then: NO WAY! Its kinda impossible to ocme up with something as smooth as vic does..

[@DirtySouthGaming]

What if its a recording of a concert of a band whos dead?

[@chewyflea]

that bass got hecka frets!

[@Gfr34k]

Now that's a proper bass guitarist. That's how a bass guitar should be handled.

[@Antisatan7771]

man he doin all dem cool stuff like it's nothin...

[@fatmaru]

whats his bass model called?

[@FernandoOrtega10]

@trivos4real To succed in bass you have to be good!! To succed in guitar you just have to be loud. Of course the guitar is an awesome instrument, I really love it but I also hate when the people say that bass is boring and that nobody can hear the bass.

[@MrBrashnak]

Just call Fodera and have them build you one. IIRC, the Monarch is around $8500.

[@myung89]

loved the chicken part!

[@spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

It's all about jamming. At least that's how I improvise in a song.

[@evilmushroom100]

@BeDaMusik i hate it when people say the bass is gay. i play in 2 bands and when people hear me play they think 'omg he is good'! and say this but next day they say 'you cant play bass for sh**' the bass is a major part of music. it forms the core and sets the tempo which everyone goes at. look at living in the 70's or play that funky music and you will see that bass is important

[@gabrielebalzerano]

Groove !!!

[@lowfreak]

Yes, he plays with Bela Fleck & The Flecktones..

[@lolgiggetyroflomg]

solo is The chicken by jaco :D

[@pirrostsakas]

"Bella Fleck and the Flecktones"

[@loganlmm]

some things might be written but he always puts a different twist on it he never really plays it the exact same

[@Krioniks]

@BeDaMusik : it's not only your opinion - it's true! :)

[@ruckussful]

@BeDaMusik uh, who is saying bass is "gay"?

[@Joza2]

Why not? I dont understand whats going on youtube.. If the comment is even just slightly negative everyone gives 10 times thumps down and tells him to shut up. I just dont get it.. If you can say only positive things, then why to comment at all? PS: This doesnt really got anything to do with your comment. Just remembered that thing which has annoyed me for some time and decided to comment here.. :P

[@iSnipe37]

OMFG IT'S THE CHICKEN BY JACO!! Thumbs up if you noticed that..

[@ScratSniff]

Bass is the most manly Instrument in the Universe - besides flute XD

[@frabber321]

He needs his own bass player!

[@tmdp76]

@BeDaMusik I totally agree with you on respecting all of the instruments. But, may I add, how about respecting gay people and stopping using "gay" as an offence?

[@TheLucky200000]

why is he so good?

[@nicowontkillyou]

He's ace!

[@jolleyjames13]

Jizzed myself lol

[@damaster720]

actually if you all have the guts to see it, it's actually pretty good. i'm very surprised pete wentz can play that string of notes.

[@DuxJerome]

I recently played 2 fodera's. They sound and play very good but the prices are rediculous. Not worth it. You can have a world class MTD for half the price or less.

[@nZymes]

lmao i cant believe someone even thought of putting PETE WENTZ in the same sentence as victor wooten...thats just fucking silly.

[@coffeeNTrees]

you cant touch victor wooten...les claypool even knows victor is the man...

[@CarlosGarayG]

you can't always improvise... harmonic arrangements are often achieved better if planned, hence the necessity of playing written stages.

[@ericoulthwaite]

@lovesthebass Good to see Freedom of speech alive and well

[@TheMetalMan9000]

Groovy

[@xXZvangelisZXx]

you dont have to be hard on people most people dont recognize the difference between a guitar and a bass guitar... i am a bassist , i suppose you are too?

[@ZitkyAdams]

Maybe because he had the bass in his hands by the time the dippers had him by his bottom. ;]

[@ElGolpeatambores]

the first word when i think Bass is... Victor

[@nathan87]

ironically, you yourself have done just that.

[@sherman9009]

he was adding chromatic notes to be more specific xD

[@SirPsycho414]

oh its Jaco's "The Chicken" at first. just a little different though. I like this one better. No offense to Jaco because i know he's dead and all, and he was definitely one of the greatest, but Victor is definitely better than he was.

[@ericoulthwaite]

@gogoyoghurt123 heard he was supposd to be good. turns out he's just ok

[@whykatera81]

hahahaha!!!

[@jeronimoringo]

there is really no need for the drums with a bassplayer like victor wooten and i´m a drummer!

[@jolleyjames13]

It's called improvisation

[@alexisikk]

1:47 - 3:00!!!!

[@falafelbleuh]

Haha lol.. ^^

[@pari666]

join the club :)

[@johnny410]

bela fleck and the flectones

[@studbagl]

Hehehe.

[@yo87momma]

bass is whats up. bass makes a band. Bass and drums are the heart of the band. without it. its overwith

[@SnuSnu91]

you have no idea man ...

[@jollyboi024]

@BeDaMusik yeah thats right learn to respect other musicians like a bassist. some says that this is the easiest instrument to learn but try play the bass guitar like victor wooten. we will see if this is gay......

[@kvetonp]

@ericoulthwaite You're obviously very ignorant as to jazz music and the bass guitar. You're entitled to your own opinion, but at least we all know now that it is coming from someone who obviously isn't relevant to the subject matter. Thanks for stopping by!

[@ericoulthwaite]

@kvetonp What are you? Some kind of text psychic?! How could you know anything about me from a few lines on KZbin. I am a bass player who studied jazz at music college and i have a degree in music and recording. I did Grade 8 when i was 17. So i think that qualifies my opinion to subject matter. Didn't say he was rubbish. I said it was boring. Heard all those noodley licks a million times on different instruments by different musician. No fire or originality. Thanks for stopping by?!.....Lame!

[@t6aeyang]

lol thats like comparing souljaboy to jesus

[@bigk8686]

First of all, I play bass, guitar, drumset, piano and sax (all saxes) and I wile bass is difficult to play, and is a whole different instrument than the guitar, don't discount guitar players. Anybody can sit there and play the base note of a chord that knows a thing or two about music, but it takes talent to play it well. Just like you claim anyone can play loud, bs buddy. I'm an acoustic player mainly, and I play things that are unusual, yet they sound awesome. Don't diss guitarist buddy.

[@CarlosGarayG]

to begin, harmonic arrangement is not the same as a melody. maybe you are forgetting that the bassist is not the only musician on stage, and therefore you think he can do whatever he wants... such shows would be lame, hence the reason victor tours with a band and not with a drum machine and a programmed synthesyzer. there is a time to improvise and a time to follow the song's original message.

[@woosailor]

@acrock21 or learn to spell, one or the other.

[@damaster720]

of course no one hear the bassist. in an emo concert. if you're happy in your life jamming as a rhythm guitarist playing nothing but power chords without knowing the difference between the notes of A minor scale and C major scale (it's a trick question i know), i suggest you better run off to the next secondhand serenade show while us people enjoy victor wooten and tetsuo sakurai, deal? and you don't have the slightest shittiest clue about those two either. you read emopedia.

[@Liebchen]

Think bass is gay? Listen to a band with a lousy bass player!

[@ericoulthwaite]

boring
