Mario cart snes came to mind, but obviously Wooten did an amazing job putting together such a good song with an idea that simple. He has a way of making his techniques look easy to play because he masters them so well.
Definitely agree it is not as hard as it looks to get the main tune going and then really fun to build on it. I'm hoping to work out the whole thing at some point.
I learnt his rendition of norwegian wood where he uses this tapping thing, and for just learning the technique, crank up the treble and gain and it will make it alot easier. the just slowly change your levels to what sounds good as you get better.
@Izajmusicman Well when you really think about the movements of each hand, each part (the tapping and the fretting) are both relatively easy. It's the "putting it all together" part that could be hard.
the only easy thing is the main theme, it gets more difficult but trust me practice it for a day or two and ull have the main basis, its really fun to improve on too!
that sounds like something i would play... i dont know what other people call it but i call that a duble bass line... and like he said that is real easy to play..................compared to eddie van halen but i can play a few parts on an electric guitar from eruption... KEEP IT UP VICTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
hola.... sera que alguien me puede dar informacion acerca de los efectos de sonido que usa el maestro wooten... que pedaleras usa y equipos... gracias...
I play the bass too and I know something that Victor never understood!!! Bass was no made to show off with Marcus and Stanley, but to emphasize the magic of the other musicians who rarely accept to play with him ! I would never play with that kind of guys
I'm gonna practice this... Maybe I can play it at MusicFest next year! That'd be real impressive. Or I could play A Chick From Corea with another guy I know, that'd be real awesome too...
Try it out its really easy. That is, if your Victor Wooten he means. He was just messing with all of fellow bassist when he said that. But its more fun to watch =)
does he wear finger tips? as in like white stuff to like.. cap his fingers for easier playing.. but idk his fingers look really weird thats why i'm asking.
I know the feeling :P Well, i'm not a better player, but jam sessions take weird and interesting turns. It somehow has a positive influence on creativity. But normally, I'd rather get high from a good groove :P
Wow this is really impressive! Before seeing this vid bass was my favorite instrument, but now, bass is BY FAR my favorite instrument!!
he is so awesome! i love his facial expressions you could pause this at any time and it looks like he is so drunk
wow! this guy really is an incredible bass player since then uh?
thats the demostration of hard work and practicing!!! VW Rocks!!
I heard Victor tried playing guitar but it couldn't keep up with his sheer awesomeness and almost immediately exploded.
"it's really easy" hahahahaha it cracked me up when he said "have fun" at the end of the video, almost like saying "try it out you noob" :P
This video really helped me get better. I understand whats hes doing more now.
...and he has become MUCH better until today
he is the best

I like the end : "Have fun". LOL
Huh.. okay lol. Yep, he IS one of the best! I'm glad he's still around. I'm sad that I wasn't around for the Jaco years, though.
this is amazing.
Awesome!
It's funny how Victor says that it's easy to do what he's doing. Man, that is easier said than done. Great stuff.
victor wooten is the most bad ass man to ever sweat onto a bass guitar and maybe to ever sweat.
haha victor and his mustache and like his mullet looking hair. his like mini dreadlocks are so much better now. awesome groove

so awesome

All the best basses are Fodera. Anthony Jackson uses one, too. Ever heard that guy?
the only easy thing is the main theme, it gets more difficult but trust me practice it for a day or two and ull have the main basis, its really fun to improve on too!
Yea i couldn't play piano with both hands until i learned how to play poly-rhythmic stuff on the drums.
"have fun" :D yeeeeeeeeeah exactly JAJA
Epic Pants. Epic Hat. Epic Bass.
Too much win.
woo for wooten!!!
His pants are sooo groove-like ! ; )
With finger strength and control like that I bet none of the ladies are disappointed when he gets to "third base".
that sounds like something i would play... i dont know what other people call it but i call that a duble bass line... and like he said that is real easy to play..................compared to eddie van halen but i can play a few parts on an electric guitar from eruption... KEEP IT UP VICTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
BAHAHA! "It's really easy..." for the first 20 seconds.
hola.... sera que alguien me puede dar informacion acerca de los efectos de sonido que usa el maestro wooten... que pedaleras usa y equipos... gracias...
bossa is one of the many latin rhythms
2:00 on out... what a bad ass.
hahaha " Hav FUn" ... Yeah suree man... I will have fun trying to play some of your stuff
"It's easy"... thanks Vic, I just know a little bit more how much I suck...
@mrbassfreak321 Where did you find the sheet music?!
I play the bass too and I know something that Victor never understood!!! Bass was no made to show off with Marcus and Stanley, but to emphasize the magic of the other musicians who rarely accept to play with him ! I would never play with that kind of guys
victors fingers literally dance on the bass
omg he is really serious when he says that it is really easy
im gunna do this someday
I'm gonna practice this... Maybe I can play it at MusicFest next year! That'd be real impressive. Or I could play A Chick From Corea with another guy I know, that'd be real awesome too...
@fierostetz Agreed.
oh yes soooo easy. XD
victor wooten. so humble.
I can play latin groove piece of cake
He needs to bring back those pants.
@ayr3s yes i think when you're as good as him everything looks easy
LMAO "Have fun" he says...
He needs to bring back that moustache.
even if he could remember the keyboard, how would he get to this exact video ?
i was tapping my feet the whole damn time lol.
@EVREN35 Haha for real. It would take me forever to learn that
bkn!!
@fierostetz and those badass clothes
have fun :)
Can I have tabs for this?
He was right, it is really easy...........then I woke up LOL.
LOL - mate, I think the same... hah!
Victors fingers are dancing on the bass guitar
I'd kill for tabs of this; I can't do the whole by ear!
Try it out its really easy.
That is, if your Victor Wooten he means.
He was just messing with all of fellow bassist when he said that. But its more fun to watch =)
@fierostetz And the pants
And the hat.
what time period is that around?
@ayr3s maybe because he started at 2 years old
Real funny tapping
if any body has the tab for this
can u pleeeese post it to me
thanx =]
It's probably easy to someone who's already been playing this way for awhile. For a beginner, there's nothing easy about it.
He looks like Cleveland in this video :D
w00t w00t w00ten
It's awesome but it remembered me to mario bros. but he's still awesome!
And Victor said: "Its Really easy"...
uh when im drunk i cant play at all, but when im high thats when im at my best especially jammin
I can play that!!!
how is this funny its amazing
haha thats the whole point in playing music
madonna e' un mito.
is this song on an album?
Yeah,,, It's Really Easy He Says, , , , it's like showing a baby how to do calculus.
does he wear finger tips? as in like white stuff to like.. cap his fingers for easier playing.. but idk his fingers look really weird thats why i'm asking.
i hear a slight resemblance to like an early mario kart song here. like snes mario kart. regardless this is sweet.
CHARLES CHAPLIN jajajajaj
toca bien chido este wooten
did he learn bass and guitar or just bass?
Whaaaat??? Have fun?????
I know the feeling :P Well, i'm not a better player, but jam sessions take weird and interesting turns.
It somehow has a positive influence on creativity. But normally, I'd rather get high from a good groove :P
XD
have fun
it sounds like mario kart 64 at the begining haha
