You all have to see this man play live at least once, I've seen him several times in smaller venues and everytime I had chills and the "little hairs" standing up on the back of my neck... Victor is the Messiah of bass guitar, and a very humble human being to boot.
I love Victor Wooten....not only a deadly musician, but a real wicked guy too! Got to see him in Minneapolis years back...probably the most impressive musician I've ever seen play live.
Gobs of talent, no doubt. But also a tremendous amount of hard work, dedication, practice, sweat, and perseverance. Don't kid yourself for a minute, this guy worked his butt off to get where he is today.
I agree with Saxman226... it puts our own efforts into perspective when you hear something as sublime as this, I just thank god that song composing is still an open skill, as if it was just about musicians skill, Victor would be amongst the best that ever lived. Its a joy to appreciate it, and I wish crass American idol shows could be turned into a show case to show real talent like this, the world would be a better place!
"English is my first language, music is my second, but I learned them at the same time, & in the same way, so what I found is that my approach to music, is different". (3:31) Awesome
Hey! he knows wing tsu!...that is impression now this guy is a good inspiration...I play bass guitar and practice wing tsu when i get the chance... God bless Vic!
@jayziembka its called overjoyed off of a show of hands album. I hope this helped. I honestly would like to know the name of the groove in the beginning.. the song in the beginning.
such a fucking cool way to look at bass, Piano, guitar, drums... god damn i wish my other brother played an instrument, my eldest brother plays guitar and hes sort of been and inspiration to me to begin playing bass and keyboard
See I love it how he says "This is not a collection of notes,scales and theory" and at 3:58 I kinda got chills when Vic breathed in like he was singing when he was tapping on his bass
cool comment man. I agree (I actually do both too and only learnt that Vic did Wing Chun recently), I find the mix of intuition and knowledge is very similar in martial arts and music
@paulossilveira Mkay... I thought so, but couldn't find a studio version of it... Do you know if there is one (because in here it sounds quite good, without any noises from the audience)?
ood ... you can do me a favor ... I need this video for the Spanish. could be written in English everything you say ... to upload subtitles. thank you very much

You're a monster on the bass wooten , i wish i could play like you do
The Best!!!
he had perfectly mixed Jaco, Graham, Clarke, Jamerson, the masters of bass...and finally he created his own style, fantastic!!!
I used not be really big on Victor Wooten, but as I progressed in my playing, this man is a giant inspiration for me. The things he says blow my mind.
I love Victor Wooten....not only a deadly musician, but a real wicked guy too! Got to see him in Minneapolis years back...probably the most impressive musician I've ever seen play live.
I must say he is one of the best bass players on earth. Amazing. :)
I have seen him play live several times- he's part of an incredibly talented musical family, the Wooten Brothers- he's a force...
Just amazing...amazing...
damn, his playing Overjoyed near the end there gave me chills. Haha. Wooten is so fantastic.
I'm flying from NYC to Nashville in March to take Victor's Bass/Nature Camp!! I can't wait to learn from this man!
I'm fortunate enough to have witnessed his phenomenal musicianship in a live performance... it was an incredible experience!!!
GOD, He is incredible... I'm speechless
Che bravo!!!!! vai victor!!!
Hah.. I'm so lucky to have seen this guy live.
i love that last song.. so romantic..
Wait a second: I was aware of his bass skills, but this kung-fu and "parkour" shit?!!! U kiddin' me?!!!
é o melhor do mundo não vai existir outro...
BASSIST OF THE MILLENIUM
Victor Wooten is my hero
Victor is the most professional man ever... he's professional in every word!!!
The best bass player ever alive!!
this is why i love this guy...he doesn't just play bass...he plays guitar, drums and piano on the bass...
"Music is not a collection of notes, scales, theories, and techniques. Music to me is fulfilling." THAT is the pure way to approach music.
This is the mentor to get as a bass player !
He was on NPR today with his kids! Amazing! They did an excellent song together.
Musically, Victor is a Man of Great Wisdom.
Victor es inspiración.. gracias por el video...! alguién sabe un poco mas de este video de que se trata??? saludos
GODLIKE in Bass..no words can explain.

his cover of Overjoyed by Stevie Wonder. Victor's version is on his first solo album A Show of Hands
The fist song is called "Sex in a Pan" from the Bela Fleck album UFO Tofu released in 1992.
Yeah, I love that song, such a nice groove
From what he was saying at the beginning of this video, I want to see and hear the Wooten Family band!!!
mr wooten sir, i salute you!
Agreed! Saw him live yesterday fuckin wished he played a bit of that song.
@samdenseje
I thought it was a Ksmith, It is a Fodero. Checke out their website.
@jayziembka its called overjoyed off of a show of hands album. I hope this helped. I honestly would like to know the name of the groove in the beginning.. the song in the beginning.
Amazing personality.
I feel very sad for the 18 people that dislike something and someone this amazing!
such a fucking cool way to look at bass, Piano, guitar, drums... god damn i wish my other brother played an instrument, my eldest brother plays guitar and hes sort of been and inspiration to me to begin playing bass and keyboard
Woo! Gotta love the 4 stringers!
One of the greatest musicians ever!:D
one of my favorite bass players, he is awesome. Ryan Martinie (Mudvayne) is another one I love..
really nice!
It is called Overjoyed. Indeed it is a cover, but this version is on the Victor Wooten's 'A Show of Hands' record.
Do anyone know where you can buy that bass, he always plays? Love it!
Best bass player on earth.
great video!!
MAN!! OWNED..
See I love it how he says "This is not a collection of notes,scales and theory"
and at 3:58 I kinda got chills when Vic breathed in like he was singing when he was tapping on his bass
all i can say.... damn hes too freaking good
Great story, subscribed!!!
cool comment man. I agree (I actually do both too and only learnt that Vic did Wing Chun recently), I find the mix of intuition and knowledge is very similar in martial arts and music
@josebuencamino The name of the song @ 3:36 is Overjoyed

Amazing Grace
I have no idea how anyone can dislike this video
@paulossilveira Mkay... I thought so, but couldn't find a studio version of it... Do you know if there is one (because in here it sounds quite good, without any noises from the audience)?
He really is teh combination of all four of those instruments
Best on the planet
also, martial arts?
now he's my hero in more than one area!!! what an insane guy.
Superb ♪
Exactly... It's not about how many strings you have, it's how you use them.
whats that song in the beginning?
Victor Wooten is great!
I burst into laughter at 2:59 . Does anyone know where I can see the whole piece?
what song does he play at 3:46? i fell inlove with just that small part he played
By listening to Victor Wooten, you not only learn how to play bass, you learn how to live...
@1987Challenger3
that is a pretty big understatement :-)
