I've noticed a couple popular bassists who seem to think playing super fast = awesomeness
I think he's at his best when he's jammin' and groovin' along. Also, he's a great songwriter as well.

Also, he's a great songwriter as well. | The difference between all those popular bassists you refer to and VICTOR WOOTEN (didja notice no one said his name in the thread yet?) is that Vic did it because he heard it in his head and had an idea of what to do with it, which goes a long way towards explaining why it sounds so musical.
When you COPY someone's technique, it's very rare that you're able to do something with it that's far and above the player you copied it from. Cases in point: Billy Sheehan, Jaco Pastorius, Larry Graham, Steve Harris, Stanley Clarke. Ever heard someone say about a fellow bassist, "They sound like (pick a name from the above list), but BETTER!"? Me neither.

Nobody should really have any beef with Vic Wooten, as far as I can tell. He manages to be an incredibly technically proficient musician, influencing people in countless genres (for better or worse), teaching as much as he can, and all around being a decent human being, which is more than can be said for a lot of virtuoso "bass-god" types. |

Nice vid, Stickk, thanks for posting.
