Victors Yin Yang Bass

Topics about musical instruments other than guitar should go here. There's bound to be a Carter, LeRoi, or Yo-Yo Ma out there.

Victors Yin Yang Bass

Unread post by tietjen2k » Sat Jun 19, 2004 12:13 am

Ok, something weird is going on...In victors book "the best of victor wooten" when he transcribed his song you cant hold no groove he has a section where hes strumming
-3-3-3-3-3
-7-7-7-7-7
-3-3-3-3-3
------------

anybody able to do this? victors a small guy and im pretty big with big hands but I cant do it. I can just hold a steady 3 to 6 while strumming. I cant even reach to the 7th.

is it possible that his bass' neck is made smaller that the norm? and can anybody here do this strum?
