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!

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.
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
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. :)
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!
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.
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
0:45 brooklyn
2:31 flip flop
5:10 u can't hold no groove
8:05 don't know but sounds great :P
10:04 my life

Nice
8:05 reminds me of Bob Marley's Redemption Song
not me smiling with a grin so wide, i could have swallowed a banana sidesways..... This guy gives me joy everytime i watch him, 2005 till date!!!!
This is my go too video when I have free time

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!

Please prove that.@@ethanlocke3604
Not many people could pull off a solo bass gig at a radio station......but Victor Wooten, YES he can!
Vic is a remarkable human being and one helluva bassist as well.
wrong;
he's not human
Thanks from Russia! Best Player! Best Regards

My Bass Role Model.................God bless ya Mahn
that was so awesome, loved to hear you sing. "Gonna buy me some kite string, and knit myself a dress" yessss
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
Master of masters
Absolutely amazing, my favorite musician!
Como siempre es un genio Víctor Wooten gracias por tú música.
A show of hands!!!
vic !!! You have hypnotized me. Monster bass
Most people listening to this have no idea the nastiness of the funk that is taking place.
Great perfomance!
My brother!! Always love the lyrics man!!
He surely got a higher level, really happy with it.
Victor Wooten is VICTOR WOOTEN
There's so much love in your playing... god bless ya...
... what a great Man ...
The best bassbrother!!!!!!1 :D
pure joy
Real music!
You're all doing more for humanity today to make a better tomorrow.
Wooten the man....at least top 5
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!
This is the way I’d like to play bass.
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
Nice !
Tremendo!
He is the best
Love how he lets the funk ooze out at 2:30.
Music is a language, say what you want.
If God by chance ever took a bass and decided to play it it would sound exactly like Victor Wooten I tell you
awesome...
imazing
Víctor wooten is My fan at bass guitare, after Stanley Clark, Marcus Müller.

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.
I always thought the lyrics were” I could be a critter I could be a cat” haha
Talented..
God gifted
This is so cool... #king_of_pocket_funk
Tremendous!!!!!!!
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?
YO VICTOR
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
The party starts at 12:00.
The best
👏👏👏
Muito bom :D
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!
Never knew he can sing 😮😮😮
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.
Namm 2014 victor improvs check it out
Hey Victor ever play a 24 string bass ?
His tone isn't great on this but he still kills it
Did he ever name that second song.
👍🎷
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
✌🏼
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.
What's the second tune he played?
Denzel washington should make a movie about wooten jahahahaha
The only bass player so percussive/rhythmic that he has to use the Moeller technique
8:00
Stevie wonder vibes
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.
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!
Supimpa
5:00
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!
I'm gonna catch me a bull frog
Ribbet
10:10
4 strings rules
say it again.
4 STRING RULES!!!!!!!!!
YES YES YES YES 4X
4 4 4 4
FOREVER FOR ME 2!
You dont need no drugs, to get a little buzz.
Victor Wooten looks a bit like Ronaldinho.
Davide Serri
I taught I was the only one who had noticed it
Lol
A lot*
Have Vinny put a VW symbol in that Monarch's pearl inlay.. Thank me later..
Like Volkswagen?
Too Nasty!!!
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!
He has paddle fingers.
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.
8:05 What's the song title of this?
If this jam had any lyrics it would be screaming "MARCUS MILLER, MARCUUUSSS MIILLLLLERRR..."
Relix should have rented a good Bass Amp... this is ridiculous
So much fat grooves I took 10 pounds
Bob Marley
Rédemption song
I love Vic, but that amp sounds like it's underwater. Pure shit.
Damn dude! Who did your sound 🥴🤣👎
Awesome player ruined by shitty recording. Who's the sound engineer that didn't notice the whole thing is clipping?? Shame
THE AUDIO IS A SHIT!!!
Just enjoy it what's wrong with you?
Does he speak in a way like Denzel Washington?
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
