Holy Mother of Bass!!!

I just saw a few videos of Victor Wooten playing the bass, and it's so incredible!! I've looked on the net for bass lessons before (I'm a guitar player foremost, but I dabble in bass, piano, and drums as well), but I've never found anything satisfying (i.e. - anything that I don't know [anything complicated]), nor have I found anything that resembles the way he plays. How can I learn it?

Also, has anyone around here ever tried applying bass techniques to the guitar? I sometimes play little slap/pop grooves on the guitar, but nothing too fancy, because the string spacing makes it a little awkward. Anyone have any suggestions/lessons/sites on this?

I think I saw an Instructional book for Victor Wooten , and I've been told by a bassist friend of mine that it's very usefull.

I like to do that slap/pop on bass a lot , I've tried it on my guitars too but the results were not satisfying , so I guess I'll keep on with my old guitar techniques till I find something new & interesting.

Just entered the site and heard that small Flash thing ... Now that was impressive !!
Will check more of the guy later.

This guy definitely needs to team up with some guitar shredhead ... It would be cool to see him trading licks with someone like Michael Angelo or so.

I'll check out both of these players for sure but in the meantime it must be made known to bass fans that Stuart Hamm is bloody amazing, he slaps, bobbles and taps stuff that totally takes the piss. I have two of his albums now, Radio Free Albemuth and The Urge. Of these I prefer the later (some nice guitar from Eric Johnson) but "A night in Hell" form the Former is totally awesome.

Billy Sheehan makes some quite scary stuff too.

For a good well-priced instructional vid I recommend Louis Johnson on 'Star Licks'. Ex Brothers Johnson, LJ's done whole load of session work with top names e.g Stanley Clarke. A real thunderthumbs if there ever was.

You also cant go far wrong with the daddy of them all..Larry Graham, the man who invented funk bass. This is the man from whom Mark King, Victor Wooten, Bootsy etc copped many of their licks. Recommended listening - Stand and There's a riot goin on by Sly & the family Stone and any of the earlier Graham Central Station albums. top tracks -Release yourself, The jam and Feel the need. Listen and learn.
