Showcasing the tremendous, often unrealized potential of the bass guitar, Steve Bailey and Victor Wooten have put together this video version of their ground-breaking Bass Extremes album/songbook project. Steve and Victor demonstrate how the bass guitar can supply bass lines, piano, and guitar type comping figures, lead solos and percussion parts, in styles ranging from Bebop to New Age to Heavy Metal. Each piece highlights differnt aspects of their amazing techniques - like Steve's three finger technique of his awe-inspiring command of harmonics and chord voicings or Victor's incredible funk grooves, thumb and two-handed tapping techniques. In between each performance segment, Steve and Victor walk you, note-for-note, through the licks and techniques that make up each song, explaining and demonstrating everything at slow speeds.
