I just saw a few videos of Victor Wooten playing the bass, and it's so incredible!! I've looked on the net for bass lessons before (I'm a guitar player foremost, but I dabble in bass, piano, and drums as well), but I've never found anything satisfying (i.e. - anything that I don't know [anything complicated]), nor have I found anything that resembles the way he plays. How can I learn it?

Also, has anyone around here ever tried applying bass techniques to the guitar? I sometimes play little slap/pop grooves on the guitar, but nothing too fancy, because the string spacing makes it a little awkward. Anyone have any suggestions/lessons/sites on this?
