Victor Wooten Is A Metronome Ninja

This video starts off innocently enough. Victor grooving with a metronome. Then, he slows the metornome down to work on keeping his own time.

Sure, sure. Makes sense. But, then, it gets weird.

At ~4:57 - starts shifting so the metronome is a 16th note off.

At ~7:50 - starts five beats between metronome beeps but still counts in 4/4. So, the metornome beat cycles through beat 1, 2, 3, 4 and then loop.

That cat is wild.
