I am so happy this got so many upvotes without having to explain how cool this is!

Victor Wooten is an amazing bass player, but as a bass player myself I can honestly say that I don't like his style of playing at all.
rebelhead
That's Victor Wooten. Great player. Does he still do the bass/nature camp?
sleazypeazy
Damn not nearly enough comments saying, "Homy Shit, that's Victor Wooten.
Idkmanmaybe
I just learned about this guy in my music appreciation class!
Heeeeeeeeeeey
Here's an unpopular opinion, I really don't like the way his playing sounds.

I lack all understanding of significance.
nosoupforoldmen
What do you call a bassist with an IQ of 130? An 8 person ensemble.
DrPeppurr
Your teacher is...Victor Wooten???
StonedLikeACheatingMuslimWoman
Victor Wooten is holding his teacher's bass.

I saw flecktones Sep 1991, the day Miles Davis died. Every member did a solo piece "For Miles". Seeing Vic play makes you doubt your senses.
MisutaSpakaru
Damn. I saw them around 2000. That must have been ridiculous.

metallumberjack

OlanDyurai

jrfloriduh
I will never forget seeing him live with Bella fleck...
DiracsDelta
Saw the flektones just a couple months ago!
flirtyllama
They came to my campus last year. I love Victor and knew nothing about Bela and the Flecktones. It was such a great experience!
SendMeYourLameJokes
Which campus? I worked in a performing arts center on a college campus and we had him about a year ago.

Woo-10!!

Can someone enlighten me because I'm pretty sure this isn't Mr Marley
BookSmart
That's Victor Wooten, one of THE best bassists living today. The guy's insanely skilled.

Will check em out

As a bassist he is one of my biggest inspirations. I got to meet him and the rest of the flecktones and ask questions it was great.
JustThePGTips
Is that Vic fucking Wooten? He's your teacher????
JustThePGTips
NVM... just re-read your post. Just got excited for a second, there.

Victor freakin Wooten!
CeleryMan7
best bassist ever only
rollercroaster
I unno, I'm pretty partial to Geddy Lee
ouhhmytralalamydingdingdong
Only Marcus Miller
Slappydupappy
Or Nathan East or Jaco or Geddy or Claypool or Flea or Marcus Miller...
staplesthegreat
I honestly don't think Flea is better than Wooten

Fat Denzel?

*He's holding his bass/he's holding a bass of his!
FishSausages
He did a show at my venue and a clinic at a local music shop that afternoon. Got to drive him around. Chill dude
redtruck
What is Berklee? Who is the guy holding the bass? So confused! Good for everyone involved, I guess!

reginaldmetacarples
I was just sharing some of his wisdom on learning and music as a language to some of my outdoor/wilderness/naturalist students today.

For those who don't know who this is... https://youtu.be/zp2vmxTy7OI
TheTimeless
I appreciate the technique and skill required to play this, but there are songs and styles that just don't sound good in groove...
IamOneWithTheImgurTheImgurIsWithMe
Thanks!

Holy shit.

Bela fleck and the flecktones!!!
Swe3tJe3bus
I still don't.
VeryMoistTowelettes
It's Victor Wooten, one of the best bass players alive.
IHitThingsWithWood
This is my favorite of Victor... https://youtu.be/f0wO5hMyhNs
AManWoman
Oh shit, didn't recognize him! Thanks
Keru
Victor Wooten? Victor Wooten.
Lowzenza
I thought it sounded......okay......(don't kill me)
FallenJester
I mean... lots of good bassists in tech death or prog metal.. not sure what the point of that was
DustyBozangas
This is a pretty bad representation of his skill. That being said, I think Led is the best bass player of all time.
DustyBozangas
And by Led, I mean Les (Claypool), of course.
buttondick
Didn't like it at all.
alwaysupvoteprincessbride
one of my very favorite people on this planet and one of the best non-classical instrumentalists in history.
SpazzyP
I did community theater with his family for a long time without knowing how famous he was.
CapnYoaz
He's playing in Chicago on the 5th. :D
DefinitelyUnaware
Met him in NYC; as great a person as he is a musician.
Thatsnothowthisworks
Met him too. Amazingly humble

Yeah, well the Princess Bride was one of the worst movies off all time! Upvote that! :) (just kidding) (we meet again!)
