Damn, that metronome is really locking to Victor Wooten.

Anyone noticed when he talks he's still tapping with his foot. He's always in the pocket,ha. This is one of my favourite clips, anytime i need inspiration to practice i just play this, fantastic.

Here we are, Sept 11, 2017 & I've just seen this for the first time! Puts 90% of these so called bass educators to shame....Perfect click bait..;-))

Q

this dude quickly became my favorite bassist. 2: les claypool. 3: Flea

So thats the guy that calibrates the metronomes at Korg. Impressive!

Found this vid on accident…Iove Victor… Stayed for the masterclass as always

Instead of saying "Hi I'm Victor Wooten" he should say "Hi I'm Victor Wooten, the greatest bassist in the world."

Jaco pastorius already did that

The more and more I play guitar, the more I realize exercises like these are so important with my bad internal tempo. Thank you for posting this video. It is not only amazing but also very instructional.

I totally agree. I play bass for about 9 years now and I use the metronome during my practice sessions more than ever. My bass teacher taught me: "The metronome tells the truth about your timing!"

+Konrad Greinke My guitar teacher would say: "The metronome is the most arrogant bitch in the entire music business" xD

I would buy every training groove as an album from this guy. Every groove has more than some bands have in their whole albums

He must have a lot of metronomes since he keeps cutting them in halve...

he has an infinite number of metronomes actually

"If ur like me, you'll rush when you do the fills..." No one is like Victor!!

i was laughing from start to finish of this video, he's too good.

Took me years to undersand Victor Wooten and Jacko Pastorius . Absolutely Legend and gentelman he is

i don't see how this would make you want to quit... this makes me want to play..

I just love those beautiful ghost notes. Even more funky than slapping.

Set it at 160 WPM (Wootens Per Minute)

1:13 IS SOME DRUG SHIT! I heard that about 500+ times in the past year, and it's not an exaggeration! I'm still having chills that funky shit is funky as fuck so I can't even describe it. That's really fuck'standing!

he makes it look so easy

OH YES !!! man, that SWINGS !! when he starts in at 1:15 it is just MONSTRE ! instant groove, and what good advice. many thanks to a VERY cool cat !

Victor you would make an EXCELLENT drummer

I wish I had invested my youth learning music

This is the reason why everyone misses their childhood, their life ahead and dreams were big and the possibilities were endless. Then people use the internet for KZread, Netflix, Facebook, and porn, don't get a meaningful education or acquire any useful skills, and wish they would have done everything differently.

He even talks in time.

the last exercise is really cool, never thought of that.

I love victor...eveybody else turns the met all the way up to show off how fast they can play...Victor turns it all the way down and still blows it out of the water....Such a great player!!

wow, that is insane

This is probably the best time exercise ever.

Nice use of the metronome! Wooten is the man!

He makes it look so easy.

Time signature 160...

some of the most instrutional minutes of my life

Whassat? Groove, you say? Wooten can make the bed, cook dinner and do the flippin' dishes without losing the pocket. He is spectacular.

"As you see, when we start adding fills, we start to lose it a little bit," he says while in perfect time.

Holy mother of God, the last exercise would require 2 BRAINS for me, that's just amazing!!!

He made the freaking metronome sound good...... @_@

victor....yesterdays concert was the BEST

this is great; using the metronome in a musical way. Superb video, player and teacher!

i love the face he makes at 3:37 - feeling it so much

incredible, just incredible. And such a symphathic guy, and he has the feeling, oh yeah!

great lesson.

Victor Wooten is great☺ great personality

Awesome, I love that 4 over 5 - he makes it seem so easy

Victor is a monster player … fabulous.

Brilliant....

that was some killer bass...........vicotor rules..!!!!

Y'know, the beauty of it is, he's among the world's greatest musicians, and yet he's very humble and STILL pushes himself to improve. I think that'd command respect from anyone. Not to mention, because of this vid, metronome practice will never be boring again. Thanks for the video. ^_^

Thank you for this wonderful video, i am practicing with this , thanks vic for your kindness and also Korg for kindness :).

I want to like this video so bad, but i already liked it

WOW!!!! GREAT LESSON!

Yeaaaaah, see, if I could groove like that off the top of my head, I would hardly be stealing his grooves to practice on.

this man breathes rhythm... i gotta try this!

It was a very, very helpful lesson, thank you!

Fantastic video Victor, TIME!!!!

oh my god, he's grooving to a metronome!!! and it sounds fantastic!!

sign of a great musician

muito bom ,toca muito ,salvei na minha lista de reprodução ,valeu !

Awesome..thank you

That was just awesome

amazing video¡¡¡ great

wow, thats really clever, im encouraged now to practice with my metronome again

amazing grace

Victor Wooten is a beast!

monster, makes me cry...

incredible video, thanks!

Mr Victor Lemonte Wooten a Great Master on Bass!!!.

ありがとう😺

Picked up similar teaching over at Scott Devine Academy....except the 5 over 4 exercise at the end. Victor you are one CRAZY Dude! That's in a good way.

Yooo, hi :) I have a question if you don't mind.. Is Scott Devine's Academy worth it? Im learning bass and I don't know if its really necessary to have a physical human being teaching instead of a prerecorded videos. Kindest regards :)

SBL Academy is about prerecorded and live videos, but the human part is for feedback, questions and stuff. Anyway, if you aren't sure if it's worth it, take the 14 days free trial! (God, I sound like I'm an advertiser or something)

SBL Academy is the MOST LIVE forum for bass instruction you will find on the internet. I was with Nathan East..he will respond to videos you send him. BUT: SBL has LIVE seminars almost every Monday from these bassists Steve Lawson(solo performance),Ian Stewart(afro-cuban tumbao and ghost notes), Rich Brown(playing in odd time signatures)Todd Johnson,Damian Erskine. Danny "Mo" Morris(Berkeley), Phill Mann(Jeff Berlins Players School of Music), Berhard Lackner, Ariane Capp, Rufus Philpot, Steve Jenkins, Ed Friedland, Divinity Roxx, Sean Hurley, and, Victor Wooten will soon be one of those. Scott does LIVE Facebook hours almost weekly also. There is also like N8 a weekly review by Scott of the student submitted videos for that week. Man, unless you are going to spend a fortune on airfare you will never get to all these guys in one place..

Such an amazing bassist, him and others ,like Stanley Clarke, really do raise the bar for others. I wish my voice could be melodic and on time when I talked >.>

It's much more fulfilling - both for a sense of accomplishment and for learning purposes - to transcribe it yourself. It takes time and practice to get good at something

wow. good stuff and great player

Omg this is so helpful. I LOVE YOU

cheers vic

Victor: there you go Me: ok, i quit

Nice video, cool grove

reading the description, i gotta say. that is a sick lineup of musicians (including wooten)

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

02:36 - he is locking himself into the groove like a boss

Victor, you don't rush.. 3:55. Such a humble man...

Mind boggling - in the nice way :)

Man....this is awesome. I'd heard of doing a lot of this stuff, and I've even tried it (although I don't practice it, which I really should start doing) but man, the four count over five thing was AWESOME! Such a great concept. I'm definitely going to be trying this, and I will get it. It may take a while, but I'll be better because of it.

yeah, thanks!

NOT FAIR ! HE IS NOT FAIR !!

@justAlex666 he uses the metronome as guidance.. he is not cheating because his foot does not move by itself.. he is good enough to keep the tempo own his own.. he does not need a metronome anymore this is just advertisement for Korg's product line.. Something WE would buy to eventually develop timing as good as Vic's

It's just funny how Victor makes your day

that slight shift of timing he does with the metronome is BADASS and beyond amazing...maybe i'm easily amused, but victor is still the man, regardless...

wow!

awesome

genius!

i thought of similar concepts, must be on the right page then !!

Victor is always eletric

If you are not completely blown away by the second half of this video,..... you're not paying attention!

I’ve never touched a metronome. This is important cus victor

wooten the wizard!

I mis-read the title of this video. I came here looking forward to hearing his enlightened view of possessions... Good grooves, though, so nothing lost 8-)

3:33. That's interesting. The LCD graphic shows a 'needle' sweeping back and forth the way mechanical metronomes do, but the beeps are at the ends, when the needle changes direction. On a mechanical metronome, it clicks as the needle sweeps across the middle. This always took a bit of getting used to, as the click was heard when the needle was moving fastest. Korg has made the visual and the audio make sense.

everything Victor say here can apply to every instrument

Nice.

Good for you! the world needs more bassists! I've got two recommendations for ya if u dig this. One is the Victor instructional dvd "Groove Workshop" and the other is his book "The Music Lesson". Both are completely eye opening and great for bassists of any level. Cheers!!

haha. that last exercise was sick.

really great! I'll do it on the harmonica
