Did I got the reference!

Victor wooten has been playing bass for 46+ years. He grew up wanting to play the bass guitar and had an entire family thst taught him at an esrlry age. He was trying to argue that its not the hours you put in but how much you have the desire to express yourself with positive energy.

Victor is a magician. His number one trick was turning all my basses into firewood. Seriously, there are musicians that can inspire you to play all day long to get better and then there are musicians that make you look at your instrument and go 'What's the use?' For example, I could listen to Jaco and play without sleep for a week til my fingers bleed, totally inspired. Then I listen to Victor and it's like -- ohh, lookie what I got - a hunk of wood with strings attached. SIDE NOTE: I was very fortunate to meet Victor twice. Unlike many idols we may bump into in life, he was totally humble and down to earth. Not an ounce of ego in his body and incredibly generous towards his fans.

True story I just met him 4 hours ago. .i do construction and travel alot for work. .i'm returning the rental car at 4 am in salt lake city airport. Getting the bags out the car and I'm like that guy looks familiar. It didn't click till he got his bass from the car. I got to shake his hand and chat for a minute. He's like are you a musician. I play like 10 instruments so I just said I play a lil bit of everything. He said oh so you play the oboe. Lol. It was early and we both looked tired. But I got to meet one of my musical heroes in a random way.

Gotta love harmonic's....such a chilling sound!! Jaco was a big influence on Victor

This guy plays in Nashville with his brother on a regular. Could easily be considered one of the best musicians here in town... What a down to earth guy. I'm a fan

When Wooten tuned up that harmonic at 3:36, I thought, "this man has class."

Saw victor wooten play live at a local highschool with the highschool jazz band. 2 and a half hours of heaven for 10 bucks. Best night ever. Shook his hand, got an autograph and some life advice from him! So down to earth and my favorite bass player :D

I don't care about what people may say or think. But I watched a dozen more of live versions of him playing this tune and if there is one thing I will always appreciate is that everytime he reaches that rhythmic section after a minute or so, everyone shout in joy, and start clapping in their hands which proves it's natural, it's inherent , it touches something inside your heart . No matter who you are , no matter where you are in the seats in front of him, when he starts to play, you feel compelled by something in the tune, it instateneously make you feel joyful and rhythmic . This, my friend, no matter what is your interpretation of it, is pure solid gold. I will never thank Mr. Wooten enough for this masterpiece .

Victor! Homeboy from Newport News, Virginia! Make us proud!

Mr. Wooten is such a wonderful man. Crazy skill yet so humble.

Heard about Victor, through Tosin Abasi. I was not disappointed.

Victor Wooten is def one of the top bass players in the world. He is great to listen to.

An Angel of Light and Music.

them harmonics, them HARMONICS

I look up to this man so much being a bass player. I think it's perfectly appropriate to acknowledge God. I know I wouldn't be as good as I am w/o God blessing me. He said "your gift will make room for you", and I believe that. I'm a martial artist, sketch artist, and bass guitarist. I know it was nothing but God ( and me doing what God said) that allowed me to be good in ALL three. There aint nothing wrong w/ praising God. He did make us and all.

Awesome arrangement !! of "Amazing Grace" !! Victor is an incredibly blessed and talented musician. You can feel the spirit in his music .....played from the heart!!

Gift of GOD is that he has an ear for the music, that he can practice and also, that he have will for practice bass g for hours&hours (time place and cicumstances).... Victor would tell You the same. I listened his words when he was in our country on stage. peace.

I had this in my playlist and nothing is more appropriate to this period with this COVID-19 around. I'm from Italy. Stay Strong U.S.A.

You can't stop the meaning of the song. God is good.

This Huckabee fellow, has never heard of Victor Wooten in his entire life until this day. You can tell.

Love Victor Wooten! How awesome to find him on Huckabee

Thank you. Music is SPIRITUAL and a GIFT indeed !!! CULTIVATED by hours and hours of STUDY& PRACTICE!!!!!

Amazing playing. Victor really does give the rest of us something to aim for.

Smoooooooooth and easy cruising through a classic hymn. Victor is a wonderful talent.

I keep coming back to this video the best version IMO

Victor looks like a really humble and relaxed soul and I hope to meet him someday. I would show him a couple of my bass lines I've come up with.

anyone in the music profession must realize there is always someone out there better than you. Watching beautiful stuff like this keeps me humble.

Love Victor Wooten! Thank you Mr. Huckabee!

I heard that when Victor plays, the Heavens thump because God taps His foot on the downbeat. VICTOR IS THE FUNK MASTER OF THE WORLD. Only Papa Jaco was more technically gifted.

Jaco was a great bass player and very technical in his style. I have listened to Victor and he is great. It is very hard to say who is the best simply because styles are so varied. Jaco was a much cleaner sound bass player because of his technicality. there is a video on youtube with Vic playing with Jeff Berlin, and you can tell the difference in players. Jeff is much more precise.

Muy similar para mi. Yo era un adolescente y vi el Flecktone en la televisión. Estaba tan impresionado que lo grabé y se lo llevé a mis amigos. Víctor es absolutamente uno de los mejores del mundo.

I thought that the speaker was very polite and honored Victor appropriately. Gave him great exposure and .support as a fellow musician.

can't believe I've never seen this. thanks for uploading

He is such a happy player....he rides the groove!

Fantastic stuff from a fantastic musician.

these are one of the bass players that encourage me to take my playing to a next and more importantly....love what i do!

Victor ability to play like that IS a gift for God himself. God give us all gifts to use it to his glory. Some just use the gift for other things and ways. So, it is a God giving talent that Victor is just borrowing for a while, until he can use it no longer.

The feels... My god. What an amazing musician.

Oh my god, that line at 2:26. Incredible.

there was a bass player who preformed anazing grace at my best friends funeral in september. i camt stop trying to remember it. thought this might refresh my mind a bit.. it kinda did but nothing can bring it back yanno :(

@DissolvingTime Music should bring us ALL together no matter what color we are.

i can't stop watch his videos..

Here is what makes this video very special. It holds the key to harmony between people of differing worldviews. I'm assuming these guys studied up on each other before this was made. Mike knew that Vic is pretty "new-agey" and Vic knew that Mike is very fundamental in his Christianity. They both love the bass and that hymn. In spite of very different worldviews, Mike gives Vic a platform and neither guy disrespects the other. They enjoy what they agree on and leave the rest out.

It is a gift from God! Didn't you hear? He saw God the other day! And so did I! :D

You are no doubt absolutely the Jimi Hendrix of bass guitar awesome job my friend

Milewskige: Thanks and Godbless for uploading this video. :)

Very good way of looking at it!

Without "Christian/religious" music, a lot of music that exists now would never have existed.

youre a big inspiration man! thanks

Any Bassist must recognize Victor, therefore Mike is a Bassist. LU Vic!

The best. That feel is just unrivalled, even his mistakes sound good.

The perfect bass solo for today. Happy Easter!

Grande Wooten. Siempre iluminándonos con su grandiosa música.

This is just amazing

This guy is something else! I thing what I can do this good.

This guy is so sick and funky. Definitely an inspiration to every musician. And Victor Wooten is great too! But seriously; thanks for posting, looks like I'm the first person to find this...

Harmonics on bass genius ! Very amazing bass playing

wow wow wow !! wooten is the best alive !! hands down !!!!

what a groove.... such an inspiration...

when that groove kicks in theres nothing better

One of my favorites!

Victor is one of three bassist that make my jaw drop: John Patitucci and Stanley Clarke are the others. I love what Wooten said regarding instrumental music being open to personal interpretation. I suppose that's why the majority of what I listen to emerges from genre.

Excellent!!!!

What an awesome bass player. He is a legend

Vic, you are invincible.

My bass does not do that. Maybe it's lazy😂

Great playing.

Great player. He autographed my p bass at a show some years ago.

This is so ammaaazing.

I wish a choir sang along to this version which would make it even better.

Wow, some people miss the entire point of this piece. Its about the MUSIC not petty politics. Terrific job Victor, I'm looking forward to hearing more from you on whatever format you choose to visit.
