I got this on VHS back in 2001, I was 16 and it changed my playing forever. Almost any technique you can do on a bass these two legends incorporate across a bunch of different styles here. Steve helped inspire me to buy a 6 string (along with John Myung) and attempting his parts was like learning Chinese on bass with his harp harmonics and chordal phrasing. Then there was Vic and his thumb.... "Victor's Jam" blew me into a thousand funky pieces, I'm pretty sure he plays half the notes with his mustache. He already was my number one and this just added to it. Their banter in between is incredible, it made learning this madness fun. 36:46 The part where Steve talks about that chromatic run Stanley Clarke did and how he practiced it, then Victor says "Stanley was teaching you, this is cosmic". That fucking changed me. I now understood how you can learn from the universe in pretty much every moment if you are open to it. Even though I never took a "lesson" in my life every moment I sat and jammed along with all my heroes they were teaching me. Combine an open inquisitive mind with work ethic and anything can be learned.
I would have to disagree with all the comments saying here is tension between these two. They are good friends and are being sarcastic and messing with each other. That's what good friends do.
It is this ridiculous generational, and cultural flaw. There are so many people, as made evident by the joining of minds on the internet, that just do not understand the diversity of musical spirituality. These people look for subtle nuances in every relationship.
@Paulonbass75 Exactly my thoughts. Simply high on very amazing musicality and chops. And a sense of humour of two guys with a lot of respect for each other.
yea musicians talk like this all the time, most of the pauses are quick self awareness checks, both these guys are super humble in real life and chill.
I wanted to come to this video , and just say...."This is my favorite "Bass Video" that has ever been made. Every song, is a song I have taken with me on my musical journey through life. Also, their chemistry, and sticking to the SPIRIT of music, transcending every cultural defect is immaculate.
After watching this everyday for about a month I figured this definitely needs one of these. 3:09 - "A Chick From Corea" 13:45 - "Bangkok Blues" 22:57 - "Stan The Man" 38:23 - "Victor's Jam" 45:23 - "Thumb Start My Harley" 57:55 - "Emerald Forest" 1:12:06 - "Moonridge/Potpourri" 1:22:17 - "Donna Lee" 1:35:58 - "B.I.T. Blues"
Steve is the head of the bass department at Berkley. He may appear arrogant here, but he is actually a really chill and funny guy. He should be able to show off, because he practices all the time to get this good. They are both amazing musicians who work hard to be where they are(:

As an old bassplayer myself (haven't played for years and years) I watched this whole thing with awe and amazement. I also came to realize that even at the height of my 'career' I couldn't hold a candle to these two light towers in prowess, skill and passion. Thanks to the uploader, for a quick reminder why I didn't quit my dayjob :). Even though remeniscing can be a bittersweet experience, I enjoyed this video tremendously.
I’m quite convinced that it is impossible to replicate this concert...these 2 are the most particular, personal and unique Bass Players in the world...they are complementary, opposites but have found a common point and look like twins from different mothers. I believe that the word “Music” means this: to find each other... And with Gregg Bissonette on the drum kit is better
Gotta love their humor. These two weirdos...what a privilege to have been able to see them live in like 2010s or something. What a moment when Steve Bailey appeared on the stage unannounced. My soul just imploded.
These 2 are wonderfully gifted, a credit to the their instruments and to the music world at large; it'd be a very high honor to meet much less play with either or both. I have this CD and it's fantastic to listen to as you can hear these guys talkin' to each other via their instruments. Thanks Steve & Victor - I'll keep buyin' your music & publishings.
Both these guys are just amazing, with their very own unique style of playing. The amazing thing with mature musicians is that's it's not a contest, it's about the music. In our maturity we are not afraid to share our gifts, we get excited to give the tricks away and watch as someone else builds upon it then gives it back to you. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC!!
It's called a BASS GUITAR. The purpose is these cats showing you how real bass soloing is done and what level that most people can only dream of being on. People who think that they are "ALL THAT" come to see things like this so that they realize that they are mere jam between these guys' toes. It humbles them.
these two are the best. if God give man such ability, and even more that i may not see yet, i couldn't imagine the angels in heaven playing. MUSIC IS ( i cant explain) i love music. Steve, u r seriously good a billion billion England pound every min for you. victor, you are not human, and so, i don't think vanity will make you happy, but eternal life...
+Apostrophe Greg Bissonette is a great drummer who has played with some of the all time great musicians. He has played with Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan in David Lee Roths Band. And he does numerous drum cilinics. He is an extremely accomplished drummer..
No worries man. Just letting you know Bissonette is a fantastic drummer. I am happy you gave him props, it is very difficult to keep with those two on bass.
+Jedi Master Smoochie Gregg is playing drums for Ringo Starr! I had the pleasure of jamming with Gregg and Vic at one of the bass camps. Briefly though. Oh, had breakfast with him too!
Well now I am jealous. Gregg seems like a pretty down to earth guy as well. I know he was playing Mapex, not sure what he is playing now though. And as for him playing for Ringo Starr, well good, someone needs to play the drums, because Ringo can't...lol
Priceless! Masters at PlaY. Inner Groove Vibe PLUS man...! What a Treat!!! yeahhh dey so down n into it... they be in a class of there own i Love their teaching style. calling for intuitive Feel all the way!!! :D Wow. Thanx tons for uploading this Henrique. Cheers!

It's rare to get people like this together and still produce listenable songs. There's some mental techniques flying around here, but they all serve the songs well and create some nice sounding songs.
I like the way they talk together, some of it just comes off spontanious, like @ 34:14 : Steve : You liked that chord, didn't you ? Victor : That's beautiful. It's stuff like that, that lets you know that making this video wasn't just a chore for them, they're enjoying themselves.
That was soooooooooooooooo amazing! I'm gonna use the techniques from BOTH bassist! I've never really heard Steve Bailey before this, his techniques are amazing, and Victor sounded great as usual!
its an application of the "double thumb" technique of his .there are many instructive vids on youtube its hard mostly at first but dont give up!it gets better fast after that
Victor is amazing as always my lord he is great and he is so humble . My hat is off too him.Truely one of the greatest. Now Steve is good but he has huge act to follow very to hard and a lot of bass to play . Great job to both them.
i actually don't play bass, just a little drum (after i tried all instruments but gave it up quite soon), and i saw this while cooking, but even then it's so inspiring what they do! It's just ..... COSMIC ;-) so cool!
It really disheartens me to read all this kid shit in here about who is out of tune or who is high etc. These guys are 2 truly gifted players that have brought the bass guitar to another level. This is not an educational video simply one to show bass players the limitless possibilities of the instrument beyond just timekeeping. But they themselves point out that timekeeping is the main function of the bass and we can keep time with a little imagination.
+Vincent Mouzon - I just love your comment, agree 100%, so much kid shit in these comments - to my ears this is great music, great musicians - so much synthesizer sound-a-like stuff on YT* - this is original music - I have been searching so long on YT* for this kind of sound - Rogelio Gamboa **
Clearly I have a really long way to go before I can play like this. I need to increase my practice time substantially or I have no chance. How many hours a day do you have to practice?
Я как то зашёл в муз.магазин...,и спросил,"Можно ли, купить у вас 8 струнный вас...,с 24мя ладовым грифом...?Мне сказали что такого НЕТ...в природе...Я этому не веру...Ну что...,прийти к старой практике, и таки самому сделать...?Хоть я и пианист,недоучка...,но БАС ГИТАРА для меня как основа мироздания, в музыке для меня...Ищу варианты...
watching this the light went on! - practice with someone who plays like these guys and get a mentor.( I taught myself - that's why you've never heard of me.) Inspiring in every sense of the word. A different class altogether.

Jacob Nadeau Agreed. I went to one of his clinics, and he was very engaging. I think his sense of humor goes over most people's heads...
Jacob Nadeau actually he did come off as really chill there in the video...
+Jacob Nadeau I thought they just had a sort of funny disparaging vibe together. lol
They were joking.
+Jacob Nadeau Berklee my man and yeahhh I'll be going there next year and I hope for him to teach me more mang
Majick Freeman Yeah plus the fact that they are real with each other brings out the best from each.

Gregg Bissonette is a very underrated drummer. Very steady and has played for everybody including currently Ringo's all Stars.
This is pure gold, the different styles of them both mixed together is just awwwwesome
Agree that’s amazing

Victor Wooten is a Cyborg bass robot from Saturn
The best presentation of Victor Wooten, Wonderful!!
For me, this video was/is the most important in my path as bass player.
Jaco pastorius, Victor wooten, Clifford lee burton and my dad was the reason why i started playing bass :P
Tobias TK Hope you and your dad have cosmic ams dude! Niice!
hakichiki darn *jams! LOL!
And Stanley Clark and John patitucci
Gregg Bissonette is truly the everyman's drummer!
I have watched this a least a 100 times and I know for a fact that I have picked up some tips for the bass.
Did I mention that I play flute?🤔

como se aprende con estos dos grandes bajistas ,y si pueden vean las clases que imparte victor wooten fantásticas y geniales traducidas en español
its an application of the "double thumb" technique of his .there are many instructive vids on youtube its hard mostly at first but dont give up!it gets better fast after that
Victor is amazing as always my lord he is great and he is so humble . My hat is off too him.Truely one of the greatest. Now Steve is good but he has huge act to follow very to hard and a lot of bass to play . Great job to both them.
Sad thing is people don't appreciate music like this anymore
What sorcery is this?

That's what makes this video awesome! :)
