Personally I think he is the best electric bassist that has played the instrument. Certainly the most famous ambassador of the instrument. I mean you can throw in Jaco - Manring - King - and many others for different reasons ( singing lead vocals and playing simultaneously - songwriting using it etc . . ) but as far as a bass "technician" he is unmatched. And his simple "groove" ( making you want to move your head to the song ) is also unmatched.
I would agree that he has the best technical ability. But not that he’s the best. It’s too subjective. Plus I’d like to imagine that if Jaco didn’t ruin his life with drugs he would have become even better and truly been the greatest bassist of all time
@@ethanlocke3604 Why do you guys live in an "If world" here is an If for you. If I played bass 24/7 and never quit I might have been the best. If takes us everywhere yet nowhere.
I love listening to him. Thanks to him, I'm able ti get my groove on while enduring arthritis. ...and I have it bad. It affects my speed but I refuse to give up. Currently building on therr pockets. One day, I want to meet him. He has met my brother. 🎸💪😎

YES. People complaining about sound quality while it's totally the chair squeaking under his groove. I love this man. As a bass player, he brings so many emotions to me, which in turn, help me play (sort of) like him. Wonderful!
Em cada lugar ou profissão existe o extraordinário, ronaldinho gaucho pra min no seguimento abilidade foi incomparavel, drift? Kem block! Filmes mentirosos? Magaiver! Mais na musica esse cara e um revolucionário, influência no mundo inteiro, me gabo sim porque fui a um workshop dele, tirei foto com ele e pra min meu camarada, igual nunca mais, unico, fera de mais, se nao fosse casado e tivesse filhor seria seu servo, apenas pra observar de perto essa arte, esse dom que Deus deu a pessoa que soube aprimorar.
he said he was doing something unplanned, like walking out the door and not knowing what you're going to think about all day. i dunno if it's other than him messing around. he's great w/ words like that, his whole family is. :)
If you dont like the quality of this, you need better headphones my dude. This sounds like he's plugged directly into my head. Like its the same attack and quality of listening to the DI on my bass through a mixer.
Without looking at the video, I thought Denzel Washington was doing the intro. Everyone hereafter: [listens to Victor talk at the beginning without looking] Everyone Hereafter: Can confirm
When he says like speaking he didn't know what he was going to play, it would have been cooler if he hadn't have relied on things he knows off by heart. You could argue he's just telling you his favourite stories but its not the same as coming up with something unique in the moment.
Depend on what you like, really. He can play a song that already exist but it will never sound the exact same, he'll always play it a little different. To me that's more than enough. But a lil improv session would have been nice too yeah.
Aaannnnddd just gonna turn you down a bit in the mix... cause of the coolness. Jk. I dunno if ide day bass is cooler than guitar. Certainly cooler than a key tar.
Thanks for uploading! Nice video. Please don't mix daylight with this horrible yellow light. Slight difference ist OK, but here looks Vic like he had a jaundice!
Victor plays amazing but this sound quality even through my studio monitors is horrible. And no i'm not using Rokits. $5k pair of Adam's for you beats wearers just because Dre's name is on them (monster's) headphones lmbo
Not many people could pull off a solo bass gig at a radio station......but Victor Wooten, YES he can!
0:45 brooklyn
2:31 flip flop
5:10 u can't hold no groove

8:05 reminds me of Bob Marley's Redemption Song

Mark king? Good bassist but I don’t think he’s in this company.
I'd definitely throw in Anthony Jackson in there. He's incredible!

Vic is a remarkable human being and one helluva bassist as well.
wrong;
he's not human
I love listening to him. Thanks to him, I'm able ti get my groove on while enduring arthritis. ...and I have it bad. It affects my speed but I refuse to give up. Currently building on therr pockets. One day, I want to meet him. He has met my brother. 🎸💪😎

Great Artist, Great Bassist, most important Great Groove!!!
Master of masters
I hadn't heard Victor put vocal layers over his riffs before. MMM MMM! Next level. 7:00
These are not new tunes...I believe the one you're referring to is U Can't Hold No Groove from like 25 years ago
Pure joy 👍
My Bass Role Model.................God bless ya Mahn
Absolutely amazing, my favorite musician!
A show of hands!!!
Como siempre es un genio Víctor Wooten gracias por tú música.
Nice !
Great perfomance!
The best bassbrother!!!!!!1 :D
My brother!! Always love the lyrics man!!
He surely got a higher level, really happy with it.
Love how he lets the funk ooze out at 2:30.
vic !!! You have hypnotized me. Monster bass
There's so much love in your playing... god bless ya...
pure joy
... what a great Man ...
You're all doing more for humanity today to make a better tomorrow.
Holy Toledo Vic! Up to seeing this video, Abraham Laborial was my number one bass guitar player. You are no longer #2! I am so inspired!
I still got Abraham over Vic
Real music!
Victor Wooten is VICTOR WOOTEN
Tremendo!
Most people listening to this have no idea the nastiness of the funk that is taking place.
awesome...
He is the best
imazing
Wooten the man....at least top 5
Tremendous!!!!!!!
you can hear the chair bouncing up and down as he grooves
YES. People complaining about sound quality while it's totally the chair squeaking under his groove. I love this man. As a bass player, he brings so many emotions to me, which in turn, help me play (sort of) like him. Wonderful!
I always thought the lyrics were” I could be a critter I could be a cat” haha
This is the way I’d like to play bass.
Talented..
God gifted
Loving his right hand technique. Are there any tutorials/guides on his right hand style?
Tutorial on Victor Wooten's Right Hand Style: Attain Enlightenment.
Guide on Victor Wooten's Right Hand Style: Become Immortal.
Lifetime of practice.
Víctor wooten is My fan at bass guitare, after Stanley Clark, Marcus Müller.
victor is nothing short off amazing and that Linwood ave is beautiful...what I really want to know is where he got that shirt, i really like it
Where can i type on you tube?
Music is a language, say what you want.

Muito bom :D
Did he ever name that second song.
Never knew he can sing 😮😮😮
YO VICTOR
If God by chance ever took a bass and decided to play it it would sound exactly like Victor Wooten I tell you
The truss rod cover is missing off of his bass. I could talk about how awesome his playing is, but that's really hard to miss.
So, next question!!!
Amazing how a truss rod cover could even be brought up When Victor Wooton is over
It really don't matter at ALL...And it won't change the sound of his bass with or without the cover
What's the last song with vocals? Anyone?
he said he was doing something unplanned, like walking out the door and not knowing what you're going to think about all day. i dunno if it's other than him messing around. he's great w/ words like that, his whole family is. :)
The song at 10:21 called its my life
It’s my life.. I believe by bon jovi... jk.
Hey Victor ever play a 24 string bass ?
The party starts at 12:00.
Does anyone know what tune he is playing at 2:30 ? So much groove, I need to know.
I found it. It's Flip Flop. Thanks me!
This is so cool... #king_of_pocket_funk
👏👏👏
What's the second tune he played?
I dislik the sound's quality :(
Victor don't deserve that ....
If you dont like the quality of this, you need better headphones my dude. This sounds like he's plugged directly into my head. Like its the same attack and quality of listening to the DI on my bass through a mixer.
I cannot agree. The quality doesen't sound good enough to me.
@@ColossusBall oh Broth ... I got the BEAT BY DRE Headphone ...
Anyway ... The quality ils bad trust me
oh you're trolling. got it.
I also dislike the sound. But then I've never liked Cube amps, which I think he's playing through.
8:00
The best
👍🎷
Without looking at the video, I thought Denzel Washington was doing the intro.
Everyone hereafter: [listens to Victor talk at the beginning without looking]
Everyone Hereafter: Can confirm
5:00
8:05 What's the song title of this?
When he says like speaking he didn't know what he was going to play, it would have been cooler if he hadn't have relied on things he knows off by heart. You could argue he's just telling you his favourite stories but its not the same as coming up with something unique in the moment.

Namm 2014 victor improvs check it out
✌🏼
His tone isn't great on this but he still kills it
Victor was amazing as always, but for the love of god, somebody please get rid of that stool and get something that doesn’t make all that noise!
10:10
The only bass player so percussive/rhythmic that he has to use the Moeller technique
bass: it's like guitar but cooler
Aaannnnddd just gonna turn you down a bit in the mix... cause of the coolness. Jk. I dunno if ide day bass is cooler than guitar. Certainly cooler than a key tar.
Stevie wonder vibes
Denzel washington should make a movie about wooten jahahahaha
Supimpa
Yo, Victa! Whatever you do I want you to remember this here; be sleepy when you play and it'll bring out the Curtis Mayfield in ya!
Thanks for uploading! Nice video. Please don't mix daylight with this horrible yellow light. Slight difference ist OK, but here looks Vic like he had a jaundice!
Have Vinny put a VW symbol in that Monarch's pearl inlay.. Thank me later..
Like Volkswagen?
4 strings rules
say it again.
4 STRING RULES!!!!!!!!!
YES YES YES YES 4X
4 4 4 4
FOREVER FOR ME 2!
Victor Wooten looks a bit like Ronaldinho.
Davide Serri
I taught I was the only one who had noticed it
Lol
A lot*
I'm gonna catch me a bull frog
Ribbet
You dont need no drugs, to get a little buzz.
He has paddle fingers.
Relix should have rented a good Bass Amp... this is ridiculous
If this jam had any lyrics it would be screaming "MARCUS MILLER, MARCUUUSSS MIILLLLLERRR..."
Too Nasty!!!
So much fat grooves I took 10 pounds
Awesome player ruined by shitty recording. Who's the sound engineer that didn't notice the whole thing is clipping?? Shame
Bob Marley
Rédemption song
I love Vic, but that amp sounds like it's underwater. Pure shit.
Damn dude! Who did your sound 🥴🤣👎
THE AUDIO IS A SHIT!!!
Just enjoy it what's wrong with you?
Victor plays amazing but this sound quality even through my studio monitors is horrible. And no i'm not using Rokits. $5k pair of Adam's for you beats wearers just because Dre's name is on them (monster's) headphones lmbo
Does he speak in a way like Denzel Washington?
