Victor Wooten Super Bass Solo Technique (1992) [FULL]...or Who's Who in BASS?

VICTOR WOOTEN see photo credit

O.K.VICTOR WOOTEN and HERE is a bassman who always comes out on top when talking about bassmen that BARTLETT admires. This video 'Victor Wooten Bass Lesson [thanks ]' is I think [Jan, of course] one of Wooten's finest. I know it's about an hour long...BUT, it's fun and you'll know how to play like a pro....Steve and I just watched the whole video after watching some videos of Victor Wooten's Bass Solos. I'll post them below. O.K? This was our favorite and has amazing performances with the BASS instruction.
BARTLETT learns alot from Wooten and watches him every chance he gets.
To me [Jan] Steve sounds like a combination of JACO PASTOROUS/VICTOR WOOTEN and STANDLEY CLARKE....O.K.That brings up the question 'Who's Who in Bass'? So, I'm re-posting an earlier story of mine about great bassmen...Enjoy. Jan-

Who's STANLEY CLARKE?..or..Just Who's Who In Bass? JAZZ Stuff

by cloud2013 cc

Where have I been, anyway? I've just discovered STANLEY CLARKE, andHERE...a bass guy... not just a bass guy...A GENIUS BASS GUY, I might add. BARTLETT, thinks Clarke's absolutely amazing. He's a jazz bassist and composer, but WIKIPENDIA says he's also a jazz fusion, rock, pop, R & B, and funk bass guy...he played with some of Steve's favorites, HORACE SILVER and HERE and CHICK COREA and HERE and the like, so many other genius jazz musicians. Steve said that VICTOR WOOTEN andHERE talked about him and says Stanley inspirired him and was one of his heros.
Clarke made many albums with others and solo albums too, and, in the '70's, his album called 'School Days' full album, [thanks ] is one of the most famous bass solo recordings of all time. So, here's a short list of the best, in my humble opinion, I know, I know there's more fantastic bass people, but, I can't think of them right now, so here's my list for just today...the best bassists of all time... Let's see, there's JACO PASTORIUS and HERE, ROCCO PRESTIA, RICHARD BONA and HERE,MARCUS MILLER and HERE, VICTOR WOOTEN [link above], TAL WILKENFELD, RICK LAIRD, and HERE, BARTLETT ON BASS [smile], DONALD DUCK DUNN and HERE and of course STANLEY CLARKE Can you think of any others?...Wait a minute, I just thought of someone else...there was this really good bass lady, who I saw and heard performing with STEVIE WONDER and HERE on a video once. Who was she? I'll try to find her. I never forget names I always know right now......just a moment please. Jan
I'm gonna post this video I saw of STANLEY CLARKE doing a really cool bass solo on an upright bass or double bass that I found on YOUTUBE. Jan
It's called 'Staney Clarke upright bass solo', from . This is what the video page says: " Uploaded on Jan 15, 2007

Great solo on upright bass by Stanley Clarke".
