Actually when he is looping he is practicing his creativity; he uses it as an exercise. He plays some random little line and tries to add to it to make it sound good. He needs to practice while performing because he doesn't have much free time elsewhere to do so. This is part of the reason why he has been able to grow while other musicians tend to "stall". Plus it doesn't hurt that it is entertaining for the audience as well.
This man has so much God given talent it is absolutely AMAZING!! If I had a thousandth as much talent, I would still be a rich man. I hear you are as good a person as a bass player. My hat's off to you. Only wish that one day I can see you play in person. I played bass when younger but never like this. Didn't know a bass could do so much!
Vic. is a freak of bass nature. just an awesome bassist and cool in person when you meet him.he autograph a bass for me when he came to Milwaukee Wisconsin. one of the coldest weather states in America. Great video peace!
Asombroso y exelente con esa tecnica y la fantastica facilidad muy personal de victor Wooten que refleja una disciplina y dominio absoluto tanto del bass como de los conocimiento tecnico musicales que refleja y transmite trasmite para gozo y deleite de quienes lo escuchamos..en lo personal me quedo con la boca abierta. Felicidades totales sr.Wooten...
An incredible musician and great guy. He came down to Florida for a clinic tour in Sam Ash not too long ago, and he literally answered EVERYONE who had a question. There was at least 80 people there.
I've always loved Vic! But I lost my pation for him after seeing to much video of him shredding on the bass.... but this video brought me back on the track...DAMN!! This guy blow my mind like nobody.....
he does things that a beat machine does its amazing victor all the way baddest player of all time he plays with feeling forget age he just bad to the bone knows when to put the chords without any music and stays on beat yes
It's simply mind-blowing what he can do with a standard 4-string bass. Players like him, Billy Sheehan and the late Jaco Pastorius never cease to amaze me. More players need to listen to them instead of adding more strings. Nothing against 5 or more strings, but be sure you've exhausted all possibilities with 4 before moving on. These aforementioned guys prove it's damn near impossible!
I love that littel tribute part he did from 3:23 foward. I could Identify pieces of Sharay Reed, Jaco, Marcus Miller, Mark Peric, and others... GREATNESS!!!!
