I just came across this and thought it was amazing. You tell me who won?

Any other kick ass musical duels floating around?

Here's another with Victor Wooten. I think the winner is a little more apparent in this one.
 


Wooten is insane

Here's Andy Timmons, Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai (with Simon Phillips on drums) rippin' a Kinks classic.

In the second vid Wooten shows he's more of a virtuoso but I think Wellington's sound's a bit funkier. Smoother and not so much like he's beating the shit out of his bass.
 
Victor Wooten and Les Claypool are my two favorite musicians. I'm not sure if there is a better musician around, other than possibly Bela.

Anyway, I got to see Bela Fleck live a couple years ago. FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!

On another note, did anyone see that Avenged Sevenfold's drummer died Sunday? He was a great drummer.
 
have y'all seen the "shreds" videos? absolute hilarity:
