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.

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.
Heeeeeeeeeeey
Here's an unpopular opinion, I really don't like the way his playing sounds.
jrfloriduh
I will never forget seeing him live with Bella fleck...
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.
DiracsDelta
Saw the flektones just a couple months ago!
CeleryMan7
best bassist ever only
rollercroaster
I unno, I'm pretty partial to Geddy Lee
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

*He's holding his bass/he's holding a bass of his!
metallumberjack
your bass teacher is the almighty victor wooten of the famous wooten brothers, mighty jealousness

I was just sharing some of his wisdom on learning and music as a language to some of my outdoor/wilderness/naturalist students today.
alwaysupvoteprincessbride
one of my very favorite people on this planet and one of the best non-classical instrumentalists in history.
CapnYoaz
He's playing in Chicago on the 5th. :D
SpazzyP
I did community theater with his family for a long time without knowing how famous he was.

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

Met him in NYC; as great a person as he is a musician.

Is that Vic fucking Wooten? He's your teacher????
JustThePGTips
NVM... just re-read your post. Just got excited for a second, there.

My name is VICTOR!!!

What is Berklee? Who is the guy holding the bass? So confused! Good for everyone involved, I guess!
watdisbuttondo
Touch my bass Rebecca
Idkmanmaybe
I just learned about this guy in my music appreciation class!
dpressedonion
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.
nosoupforoldmen
What do you call a bassist with an IQ of 130? An 8 person ensemble.
sidewaymonkey
I am so happy this got so many upvotes without having to explain how cool this is!
DrPeppurr
Your teacher is...Victor Wooten???
StonedLikeACheatingMuslimWoman
Victor Wooten is holding his teacher's bass.

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.

Fat Denzel?
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

Victor freakin Wooten!

I lack all understanding of significance.

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

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...
ThanosTaint
Holy shit.

At 2:40 it sounds like he's playing 3 different instruments. Wow
AManWoman
Oh shit, didn't recognize him! Thanks

This is my favorite of Victor... https://youtu.be/f0wO5hMyhNs
Lowzenza
I thought it sounded......okay......(don't kill me)
buttondick
Didn't like it at all.
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.
FallenJester
I mean... lots of good bassists in tech death or prog metal.. not sure what the point of that was
Swe3tJe3bus
I still don't.
VeryMoistTowelettes
It's Victor Wooten, one of the best bass players alive.
