The real Lesson that he’s trying to make us learn is that you don’t LEARN the lesson of music... you feel it, and you play it. Nobody will ever be able to learn this song and recreate it the way he does because this is HIS expression and that’s precisely how music is supposed to be: an expression of yourself and how YOU make people feel. Every performance is unique to the player. That’s the wisdom of Victor Wooten right there.

I find new things every time I watch this video.

Most people call it a mistake, we call it jazz. • Around 1:15 , he starts to improvise, but from what it sounds like to me, he hits a note he doesn't want to, but still improvises with said "wrong" note into a beautiful walk. Moral of the story: When you can improvise, there are no "wrong" notes lol. I like to say, "My favorite scale is the chromatic scale."

He’s not “blocking out” music theory. Vic is incredibly educated and can transcribe all of his own parts, as well as arrange them. He could tell you the chord, mode, scale, etc of any segment of this song. This song is incredibly complex and is that way intentionally. This is what theory looks like when it’s second nature to the musician: effortless.

Aaron Tottman The bass PARTS that are written for most music are easier to learn than the guitar parts. But the bass itself is more physically demanding because of the string width and spacing. Because guitars are physically easir to play, and because the register of the tones are more audible when notes are being played quickly, guitar became more of a virtuoso instrument in mainstream music

Bass isn't easier to learn. It's easier, maybe, to make a sound from than a guitar but to really learn it is just as hard as learning any instrument. A guitarist could not just suddenly pick up a bass and play like this video.

Victor Wooten do not play the Bass, he let the Bass talk. Just FANTASTIC .

I don't even know where to begin. Absolutely incredible , so fluid, such genius and such an inspiring man both in personality and proficiency. Beyond words!

I LOVE the bass and I watch so much content on KZread about it that sometimes watching someone play can get boring or even put me to sleep (in a good way from watching too many videos) but with Victor I can literally watch this man for hours and be amazed for that same amount of time

From 4.45 to 4.58 is the most incredible display of artistry I've seen ever!!!

charles powell You just picked up the worst part, the less musical, compositive part, and said it is "art". That's when music dies 😂😂😂😂 just speeding up it's technique, not "art".

Protect this human being at all cost!

I has to be the most amazing thing I've ever heard in my life

This song gives me the chills every single time. Victor is the teacher.

One of the best musicians I've ever heard. Since the first time I heard his art... I wasn't blown away... I was mesmerised...

Im a drummer victor wooten, and playing drums with you has been a lifelong dream of mine. You are so humble and your passion for music is contagious and you inspire me on so many levels. Thank you for being you victor i am so happy your such a powerful influence in my musical journey.

This is one of my absolute favourite videos on KZread that I can never help but come back to every now and then. Victor is a blessing to us. Thank you for your art :)))

He said uh twice actually.

I'm not usually a fan of solo bass songs but that was beautiful, not just amazing technique but incredible melody and although technically challenging not gratuitous, every note has purpose

What a aesthetic slapping and note sense, they just sound so amazing every note feels from Heaven. ❤

I watched this years ago, and literally dreamt about it last night. 😂 Here we are again. Truly astonishing, Victor Wooten.

How do you like it more than once? This is so beautiful! Thank you Victor!

Victor Wooten - The Music Lesson. Read it and it will change your life if you are a bass player, or even a musician at all.

I respect this man whose personality, individuality and his soul is really reflected in his music. I very appreciate it!

I love ur bass solo... Thank you so much! Victor Wooten..

I wish I could see a collab with Jordan Rudess on Keys, Guthrie Govan on guitar, Gavin Harrison on drums, and Victor Wooten on bass. That would be amazing.

I'd like to see Marco Minnemann and Gavin Harrison work on drums together and exchange a percussive solo section in a song, and Tosin, Guthrie, and Victor can take the next part and keep switching parts, and then Rudess's solo in the end, and all the guitarists start playing the same line as him in the end and fade out. More detailed than I intended...

I've been listening every day for the past month, can't stop listening.

I’ve watched this so many times. victor is simply amazing! Beyond talented

Check out his dvd video called "grove workshop". On the "extras" he talks about doing left handed harmonics and its absolutely mind boggling.
