Well basically from what I know you take your middle finger and pinch the string off of your thumb using only your right hand. That's how I do it. You can also fret a note and do the same technique in different places. It can get tricky to find them but they are there. You're just cutting the scale length in different segments, that's all.

Man....I've used a lot of those chords, but I never thought to split the voicing between octaves like that. It seems so obvious now that I feel really stupid, but I guess that's what separates Vic Wooten from the rest of us mere mortals. It also really frees up the opportunity for melodic runs and such, which I could never figure out how to do. I will be trying some of these techniques on my six-string bass...I don't know, though, how he gets such a good tapping tone.

He's really right about the "easy" once you get past the Technique part, which really is the hard part, getting used to interacting with the instrument you're not familiar with, it's really much easier than it seems to get those melodies he's getting at, the notes really aren't hard, and the Technique just takes practice, again not "hard" per se, just time consuming. I love it when Super good musicians are also good teachers. You get how they "Get it", and pretty soon, You "get it" too.

Dream Theater, Rush, U.K., Kansas, Kaipa, Spock's Beard, Porcupine Tree, The Flower Kings, Meshuggah, Opeth. That is a great start. Dream Theater offers a lot of different music anywhere from Rush to Metallica and tons more. Their music ranges from about novice to very advanced. Good luck. If you have any questions about the band or the genre or just bass in general I will try to explain things clearly.

What he's doing isn't rocket science, but often times technical issues affects progress. You'll likely expect to get the same tone when learning this, but may not due to things like pickups, wood, EQ, string height, etc. These things matter! Some basses play like butter others like nasty mud. He has active electronics and probably Bartolini pickups? If your string height is set too high, you'll have a hell of a time doing this. It's more than just technique.

It will certainly work with major chords. It will work with any chord. You can figure out your own minor chords. You know how major chords are made up of the first, third, and fifth notes? i.e. G major is G, B, and D. For a minor chord, you just flat the third. So G minor would be G, Bflat, and D. If you would like some help feel free to message me.

Generally, you won't have the free fingers to strum as well. When you're tapping, you're supposed to tap the fret board with such strength that the note plays without you needing to strum. This leaves whatever fingers you would use to strum free to do something else.

@slapopimp - I agree. I have a Ken Smith 5 string bass, which is really superb for fingerstyle playing, but for tapping/slapping it is a bit lacking and certainly doesn't sound as nice as Victor's bass here. Sure, he's way better than me, but his bass also sounds better.
