SteveK Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1326061519' post='1491875'] Discuss. [/quote] Not much to discuss really, by your own admission your 'no Victor Wooten fan'. You've managed to find an exceptionally ropey quality clip and used it to justify your view. The discussion would have more merit had you chosen a better quality clip. To criticise VW (or the audience) on the basis of that clip says more about the OP than VW. I'm not particularly a fan of VW or that style... BUT, I do know that to ignore someone of Wooten's obvious ability and not take a closer look will more likely upset your musical development more than it will hurt Victor Wooten.

Sibob Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Of course discussion it's wonderful.....but I do have to say that it's always strange to me having a discussion arise from a negative ("I don't like this") as opposed to a positive ("Isn't this great"). Although what is said in each instance is often very similar, one usually holds a much cooler vibe than the other Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
