Why do so many kids play Victor Wooten's, "U Can't Hold No Groove?"

[Spikyone]

If you search Can't Hold Groove on YouTube you get a ton of results of differing quality. It seems heaps of kids find this song inspiring, is it because it's a solo piece? Perhaps it's easier to play than other Victor Wooten songs?

Probably because it uses chords, therefore sounds more like a song. It's also got a decent percussive groove with no real weird odd-meter stuff in it, so it might be easier to play. The double-thumbing stuff is hard for a relatively new bassist to master. This particular song doesn't really showcase that technique, but is still a thumbslinger's paradise. Just my opinion.

I think it's one of his easier tunes - three riffs with variations, no freaky changes or fast traditional fingerstyle - but it sounds flashy and is distinctively Wooten.

because they like it.
