mcnach Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I'm not a huge fan of his double thumb and slap style, but I've got a lot of time for him when he talks about music. This short video below may seem a bit surprising coming from him, as he's best known for his technical playing, and he's playing a Precision with flats! but listen, the guy makes a lot of sense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintoid Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I agree with what he says, but I put Victor into the category of amazing players whose music I don't actually enjoy that much. It's just too clever for me. There are not many are amazing players whose music I also enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've enjoyed watching him with Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, but I never listen to his solo stuff. However I enjoy these sessions he does with an audience, talking about various aspects of music/bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintoid Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Seems we're in agreement. The best thing I've seen from him is a clip of him playing Stevie Wonder's Isn't She Lovely with an echo pedal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Makes sense - I wish he played that way more often 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40hz Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Victor has got a fabulous outlook on playing bass and is always an interesting guy to listen to. Sadly, I can't stand his actual music 😂 Edited August 15, 2020 by 40hz 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobatron Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 He has some solid advice but I often find his playing is more technique than groove, which is cool to see live but not something I'd sit and listen to. One of those 'do as I say, not as I do' situations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I cannot abide him as a player. as an educator however, is a totally different thing. His approach to learning is fantastic. I repeatedly read the music lesson- amazing book. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
