You know what's REALLY amazing? The fact he can somehow find time to blow his damn nose at 0:58 while doing all this.

[@BalconyTV]

haha. hey man, when the nose itches it must be scratched! lol :)

[@mikematthews5890]

LoL, I was thinking... did I just see that? Ha, funny and yet an incredible performance.

[@feedbackrevival]

Victor played right after we did that night. It was freezing cold and he still didn't miss a note. He is a sweet guy and a monster player.

[@dadoe]

He once did a presentation at my daughter's school free of charge. I even more impressed by his desire to share the positive effects of music than his playing (which, of course, is phenomenal).

[@amg5671]

Wow really?😳

[@armorgiraffe]

Whats even more amazing is that it seems to be really cold where he is playing. And he still performs fantasticly!

[@BalconyTV]

TheSeductiveGiraffe thats the beauty of BalconyTV!

[@tomikitomki5793]

BIG TRUE! Cold and fingers and strings is really bad combination. He is master. HAWGH

[@amaroudis]

You can see the cold affected his playing a little bit. Messed up in the part where he does the bass part and melody at the same time. But that stretch is hard even when you are warmed up and not in the cold. haha

[@b3u0c6k]

Victor, there is nobody to play such music, it's all you, music full of spirit, full of you.

[@axissur9864]

Saw him live last night at the Blue Note! what a Groove Monster!!! The hairs on the back of my neck gave him a standing ovation along with myself! lmao

[@amg5671]

Axis Sur 😂😂😂

[@Cypeq]

but... he can't hold no groove. !?

[@ChaDolBaeGee]

Best Bassist in the World

[@batera430]

My god, theresn't a man whose play the bass like that :S, everyday he got something new to show us, man, you re the better bass player in the world

[@Matiodasei]

Victor Wooten is one of the most humble person on the planet. And he is the best.

[@ilgabarezza]

Everytime I watch 2:07 - 2:11 I'm like: "woah...amazing"

[@Terrezio]

The harmonics are beautiful for sure

[@lfkw2484]

everytime victor plays harmonics i get goosebumps

[@BalconyTV]

He is pretty talented, dont you agree? :)

[@dionvanstrijen3414]

BalconyTV pretty talented?! He is one of the grandmasters of bass! :D

[@ShareTheSphere]

Dion van Strijen Jaco had Soul,The Master

[@ebentauren]

Victor is a real gentleman. Not only specified for this video but in general, you can see that he carefully listens people when they are talking, even if the subject is shitty. That what makes me call him as "Master".

[@sid009]

victor, pls stop growin old!!! the world cant go on without u and ur musical talent!!!!

[@6672rock]

That's how you lay down the groove baby!!! The best bass playing I've ever heard along with Billy Sheehan.

[@samuelfuzati]

He seems to be a very kind and polite man! He represents the spirit of music and how it should be!

[@Redflowers9]

How does he keep so insanely funky and groovy in the cold?

[@nuke97]

When he was touring the Sam Ash Music store chain giving lectures and musical demonstrations I asked him to play this tune. He said up front that he hadn't played it in many years but he played it anyway. I'm happy to see him busting this tune out again.

[@WKAntwiJr]

He's doing the job of a bassist, keyboardist, guitarist, and drummer

[@sterus]

no matter how well you play your bass, If you are beginner or more advanced, love your bass and it will love you in return. the more love you put into it the more you get back.

[@CommanderSpooky]

Amazing musician + Great human being with his heart in the right place = Victor Wooten

[@OfficialRPR]

Meeting this man was the best moment of my life!

[@Roflstomp716]

Victor Wooten: the definition of groove.

[@UniLuv2008]

All I know is Victor is a master at what he does. I haven't seen a better basist than him yet. Outstanding.

[@modelleg]

Wootens grooves are inside his grooves inside his grooves.

[@NYyankee02]

just saw him with the Original Flecktones at the Strathmore in Bethesda, Maryland. That concert made it to the top of my list, it was insane!!!

[@Prossdog]

6:38 "Your kids should inherit your music, not your record label" Great comment. Most talented bass player to ever thump a 4-stringer.

[@JanitorPride2]

[@paulcakebreadable]

[@superphil92]

I saw him live recently. deffinatley amazing, nice guy, got a picture with him

[@notmyname33]

...and out in the cold. Awesome.

[@nofretzDW]

I'll never forget the first time I put that cd in and hit play and THAT came out my speakers! Wish I'd had this video back then. Woulda saved a lot of error and error (not much trial at this level haha).

[@MacuilismoInteractivityStudios]

many years since I haven't heard that tune!! It's so beautifull, identical to the cd ones

[@hrthorstengeiger]

From wikipedia: At age two, brother Regi began to teach Victor to play bass, and by the age of six, Victor was playing in front of crowds with his brothers in their family band, The Wooten Brothers Band, and toured supporting Curtis Mayfield, among others.

[@stanpyrzanowski]

such a great man! Victor, you have to come to Poland!!!

[@pedroelalto]

Someone once said that talent is hitting the target no one else can hit while genius is hitting the target no one else can see. I can't see a damn thing!

[@xP4N70x]

すご過ぎる！

[@Luckyman187]

Such a master!

[@tylersiroky]

I love how he finds time to wipe his nose right in the middle of the groove! Epic!

[@TheKille22]

you just can't play these songs if you are missing one huge component, and that is if you are not him... this guy dose not just play music, he feels it to, and that is some thing that most of us mortals are missing...

[@Slippyfisted]

One of the VERY rare human beings who can make you forget there's no band and allow you to enjoy the instrument entirely on its own accolades. And a great guy to boot...very VERY rare
