for those who are comparing Wooten to Flea, ask Flea what HE really thinks of Wooten's musicality and technique.. It's not just the style. Wooten is another level
@@leandrobatt8122 harmonics like that aren't for everyone it comes down to preference im not a huge fan. that said i will not stand by as someone calls victor wooten a bad musician
I recommend everyone watching this video also check out Christian McBride’s National Anthem. It’s on RUclips. For those that don’t know, he’s a fantastic jazz bassist.
@@dovlaBass I agree. The bass wasn't really made to be an........ Arena.......stand alone instrument. Especially for something as dynamic as the National Anthem. Knowing the great player Wooten is......it was kinda sloppy.
I've heard great things from Mr. Wooten, but this wasn't one of them. Someone in here said he was the most technical bassist out there, but I think I'd have to give that to Adrian Davison ruclips.net/video/Zo7Gj5qdxZs/видео.html. Now there's a technical national anthem (and yes, he's Canadian)
I don't really understand this thing of getting bassists to solo the national anthem. Amazing bassists and good performances, it goes without saying. However, the concept doesn't really make for a great performance.
I’m sorry, but this is bad. He’s a talented musician but either the equipment or the venue failed the sound. Not to mention that it is the national anthem of the usa, and should be played loudly and boldly, and bass guitar just doesn’t seem to do that very well.
The audience has no idea what magic they were lucky enough to have heard in person

It’s not about how much he knows of his technique, the harmonics intro was awful

@@benhall4766👊🏽AMEN TO THAT BROTHER🙏🏽
@@leandrobatt8122 and we are gonna pretend that Flea's chords didn't sound like trash.
Beast! Amazing to stand infront of thousands with just a bass for a national anthem. Respect
This wise man once said "there are no wrong notes" and this right here proves his words
He’s gotta let the dreads go!
Marcus it's time to give your man Victor a call, and let him know he can still be a killer bassplayer with a bald head.
Why do you care about his damn hair?
@@EthnHayabusa Hollywood hair, it's all in the way you walk/dance. Symbolic nature of rhythm, sex, and life its self.
Lmaoooo
I think about all of those people who think about that strange guitar with only 4 strings.
that was amazing
Dam poor Vic he is almost completely bald. But it don't matter he is still the greatest.
yeah man, im sure he's pretty bummed.
Grass can't grow on a busy street. The man's a got dam genius.
@@johnnytoobad2979 Is that the reason Stevie Wonder's hair looks the way it does?
@@drewnorby7577 Steve's also 1500yrs old.lol
정말 헤어나올수 없을 정도로 매력적이네요
Hello man ! Could you tell me if there is a video of the full victor wooten show at the jarasum festival in 2006 in korea ?
I recommend everyone watching this video also check out Christian McBride’s National Anthem. It’s on RUclips. For those that don’t know, he’s a fantastic jazz bassist.
ベース1本でここに立つことの重み
大好きだよビクター
Very different. I like it.
Leave Victor alone he’s out there killing it
Very cool!
Bravo !
What a legend.
1. Introduction 0:01
2. The National Anthem 0:29
3. Improv 0:57
4. National Anthem (reprise) 1:29
5. Outro 2:00
shoulda let victor use his own gear, would sounded even more amazing!!!
take notes Flea...
id say they both sucked, love them both tho
This did not suck.
NEPERT Sébastien Two different genres and techniques applied here.
This wasn't that great
@@dovlaBass I agree. The bass wasn't really made to be an........ Arena.......stand alone instrument. Especially for something as dynamic as the National Anthem. Knowing the great player Wooten is......it was kinda sloppy.
I was waiting for the audiences response (I like it) and that was sadly not included in the video.
Nah, they were just muted. You could see them clapping at the end
The very rare show nowaday that I see VW without hat... and now I realised :) ...
👏🏾👏🏾
So what technique is that called, making the sting ring against the metal rails (intro)
Natural harmonics
I remember him when he had a head full of hair!!!
Holy shit! Is that what his hair looks like!?

Now this is America right here with the experimentation built on creative ideas indeed! ™🔴
Wtf was that?!? Sounds like me, day 3 with my first guitar...
Victor is the best most technical bass player to ever live.
He went for a subdued version but actually those harmonics are very hard to get right
I think his tone is limited as he's not using his usual gear. Just going straight from bass > house
I don't really understand this thing of getting bassists to solo the national anthem. Amazing bassists and good performances, it goes without saying. However, the concept doesn't really make for a great performance.
The national anthem just has no groove. Like even the man who made amazing graze groove couldn't make it groove
@@haydn995 tell that to Marvin Gaye ;) ruclips.net/video/RZ9WdCunvy8/видео.html
髪の毛がぁぁぁぁぁぁぁ！！！！！
shave it, wear a beanie like Marvin did...
I actually thought I was going to be impressed. Fleas national anthem was so much better.
They ruined the EQ and it sounded awful. If the sound quality was better and we weren’t hearing full direct input, I’d enjoy it more
Con razon usa gorrito
seems he dont like america
No...
That sounded horrible. But, it was the soundboard feed, so....there's that I guess.
Flea's was a hideous disappointment. Horrible sound and tons of notes out of key. Victor's was much better.
......in your opinion.
Flea's seemed to be a tribute to Jimi Hendrix
Snob

I didn't like it.
Ewwww this was all DI that David Pope pre sounds horrible Tin Can Bass ewww
Terrible
Sounds horrible. All of it
that was even weaker than hendrix 🤣
It not suppose like jimi hendrix
Dude you’re just a internet troll. I’ve seen you around other videos shitting on bassist by comparing them to others. Just stop
And that's what happens when you give little bored kids acces to the internet
@@itzs0weezee bruh we been through this before. you may think so but lemmy is not a good bassist
Majoras he never really took the role as a bassist. Also we never had this conversation before 😐. Nice try bud
Sounds like bird shitt
