[Victor Wooten] Sinister Minister Bass Solo Cover (Without Double Thumbing)

A short video of myself covering Victor Wooten's bass solo in Sinister Minister by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. I learned this song years ago and at the time had no idea how to do the double thumbing technique that Victor Wooten uses when he performs this song. So instead I've developed a fast bounce that allows me to get the same point across. This "bounce" slapping felt like I made this song (or at least solo) my own in a way and decided to use it for this video. I originally learned this one in high school and spent an entire summer vacation practicing up to 8 hours a day to learn it. I would practice until my thumb would bleed, then I'd slap on a band aid and keep going. Bass is still my passion, but I don't know if I could ever match the drive I used to have. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy! Any comments are appreciated and don't forget to subscribe as I plan on making many more videos!
