[quote name='urb' post='414651' date='Feb 19 2009, 07:40 PM']I definitely agree with you there Mark, re the one chord vamp... to be fair sometimes people get stuck WITHOUT changes and need them to make an interesting solo, finding a multitude of chord possibilities in just one key is something I still love to hear from the best jazzers, but it can just be an excuse to w*** away with every chop you have... or not!
But the vids I posted are from his new Groove Workshop DVD that is really, really good and looks at music as a whole, certainly from a bass point of view but it's really musical and not just Wooten noodling, though you get a bit of that as well Vic is one grooving mutha, and yes he can be extremly pyrotechnical but he does have all the basics down and then some and his timing and groove are stunning... listen to him with the Flecktones and he rarely puts a foot wrong, one his own stuff he can go a bit too into iondulgent slap.
I'm still a fan and think his book The Music Lesson is great and I recommend it to anyone interested in music.
