As Jerelak said, not bad, not bad . . .

. . . now, for some Victor Wooten! I’ve seen lots of Wooten base solos, but this one even surprised me:

The Amazing Grace solo from the DVD Live from the Quick:

And a longer solo that demostrates a lot of different techniques (I highly recommend seconds 1:43-1:51 :D ).

And something a little funkier (takes about 1.5 minutes to get started):

And a live solo where he broke a string (how the f*ck do you break a bass string?) and kept playing for 8 minutes--that's improvisation! If this is what he can do with 3 strings, I'd really love to see what he can do with one!

String breaks around 2:47, he hesitates for a second, then kicks the shit out of it some more.

Dandelion don't tell no lies

Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion


I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion

Hehe...I love when people bump stuff I'm interested in that I never saw!

I actually have broken a number of bass strings...though, for full disclosure, I should mention that when I did so I was "picking" with a Dremel w/wire brush, and more "sound effect" than "playing." [I think I must have said somewhere that, as a bass player, I'm not much].

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.
