Showcasing the tremendous potential of the bass guitar, Steve Bailey and Victor Wooten have put together this video version of their groundbreaking "Bass Extremes" Book/CD project. Between each performance segment, Steve and Victor walk you note-for-note through the melodies and techniques that make up each song, explaining and demonstrating everything at slow speeds.
Steve and Victor demonstrate how the bass guitar can supply bass lines, piano and guitar-style comping figures, lead solos, and percussion parts, in styles ranging from bebop to new age to heavy metal. Each piece highlights different aspects of their amazing techniques – like Steve's three-finger technique or his awe-inspiring command of harmonics and chord voicings, or Victor's incredible funk grooves, thumb and two-handed tapping techniques. Special features include bonus lesson: fourths and fifths, performance only, bonus performance: Billy Sheehan, DVD preview: Bill Dickens, printable reference material, matching book and CD preview, Internet connectivity, additional product previews.
