Listening to him, I can hear his passion for teaching, just like his older bro. What a blessing to know such a person. Not too shabby yerself, Mr. Sklar! You are a walking legend, as well. :)
I can tell that Victor is intentionally speaking slowly, perhaps realising that this video will be seen by many non-native English speakers. I really appreciate his kindness.
It is also because he is talking less from "thinking" but more from "being". He is not going over talking points or observations/deductions he made in the past, he is truly listening and responding.
Reminds me of student that started taking bass lessons. He shows up to his first lesson, and the teacher shows him how to play the root. And he explains that playing the root is the most important role of the bass player. The student goes home, and diligently practices his root notes. The next week he comes to his second lesson, and his teacher shows him how to play the fifth. He says this is the other most important role of the bass player, to be able to play the fifth. The student goes home and practices. The student doesn't show up for week 3, so the teacher calls and asks "why aren't you at your lesson?" The student says "I can't, too many gigs!"
If you listen,(as opposed to.hearing)I believe Victor is stating that "we"(even aliens like myself)are gifts. Let the universe hear the music that is you. Love n PEACE!!!
Victor Wooten is captivating, with and without a bass. What a great person and musician! And thank you Julia for this fantastic interview. PS: whoever made the decision to hire Julia at Thomann: ❤️❤️❤️
What is impressing is that she read his book, probably seen a lot of his speech and she is still blown away. In my case, His speech make me feel more confortable about my errors as a begginer.
*If there is one bass superhero in the world, it's Victor Wooten! A character from the Marvel movies. He is not playing a superhero, he is a superhero in real life. He is my hero!*
@nynetynyne Nothing wrong with a role model but from his terms "superhero" and "marvel movies", I was guessing s.o. playing action figures rather than bass.
I just mentioned him as my hero in an interview for a job when they asked he was the first that came to mind. I paraphrased his quote the world has plenty of good musicians what the world needs is good people
I had the distinct pleasure and honor to have dinner at a Chinese restaurant with Victor Wooten about 25 years ago. He was doing a gig with a good friend of mine at the time. We talked about everything from Music, God, Religion and everything in between. In the short time that I spent with him I was left with the impression that Victor is one of the most honest and down-to-earth human beings I have ever met. I sensed no ego from him whatsoever. This guy is deep and it is no wonder that he has been able to acheive so much in terms of his musical prowess and success in life. In a word, he gets it. I believe that part of the secret to his success is that he has figured out that being a good human being should always come before being a good musician. Of course he has become both and that is a rare quality among most musicians. The world needs more people like Victor Wooten. Peace and God Bless you Victor.
I only planned on watching like 5 minutes of this. Ended up watching the whole thing, completely amazed. He's speaking so much larger truths than I've ever thought about. Julia also did a fantastic job interviewing him, letting him speak completely.
There's been a million things said about how great Victor Wooten is, so this is a shout out to how awesome Julia is in her own way! Great conversation with two really cool people talking about music, and talking to each other with a great amount of respect. Its stuff like this that makes me feel more optimistic about things.
Victor Wooten is not only one of the greatest bassists to have ever plucked a bass string but he is truly a philosopher.His approach to playing,teaching and life in general are invaluable in our journey as musicians and as a good human being.
Mr. Wooten is so right on! My wife finally talked me into taking proper bass lessons. The Teacher in the second lesson kept on at me about not holding a note long enough and just kept telling me to do it again. I was getting very frustrated because we weren't getting anywhere he finally said Oh well no sense beating a dead horse. I never went back.
His thoughts were sooo true!! I've been playing bass for just about a year and I learned it pretty much alone so no one corrected me. I am really happy with the skills I learned so far and friends who learned it "unnaturally" with teachers by getting corrected all the time for twice as long are asking me for help now. Those words are soooooo inspiring, thanks for the great interview
Julia! You got Victor Wooten!!! What an inspiring and positive interview on both ends. We needed this now more than ever! Thank you both and stay safe!
When I was a teenager I went to a music conversation with some schoolmates. I had to bring my 11 year old brother along. Vic was doing a demo for an amp company. He ask for a volunteer to play. My little brother runs up and Vic puts a bass in his hand and in less then 2 minutes taught my brother to play a groove on the bass. It was amazing. When I got home a begged my brother to ask our parents to buy a bass for him. He refused. Vic is an amazing teacher.
It's very rare I watch a video this long all the way through, but.... Love Victor and Julia! What a great conversation to sit and watch. I've been learning a lot of melodic classical pieces and beating myself up a bit over not nailing it as well as I would like, and this was just what I needed. Started laying down some GROOVE whilst watching this. It's gonna be a very funky weekend for me!
@@merchantgold6327 the answers were deep enough for me. Die Antworten waren tief genug für mich. Und wenn die Antworten tief genug sind, dan sind die Fragen auch tief genug.
Two of my favorite bass people together. Thanks Julia! He doesn't look old but speaks like an old wise man. The book needs to be how to learn how to learn the bass. You both enjoy what you're doing and it shows. That makes you great. When you can share your joy, you add to the world more than words can describe.
Besides the obv this interview highlights what an amazing educator he is. His whole interview was given with a absorbable cadence and he enunciated with clarity. His open mindedness feels like he really likes helping people and teaching.
Victors explanation of natural learning and his ability to convey his ideas is outstanding I love how calm and super wise he comes across... he's such a cool guy
Victor Wooten is not only a super bass master but also a superb life mentor. He’s willing to share his bass playing and life experience with everyone. Every time I listen to his speech, I learn a lot about life and music. Many thanks for the interview. I will watch it over and over in the near future! Expecting for more great interviews! 👏🙌🏼👍🙏🏼
Great interview! Victor is a great musician and even better person. I’m blessed to be learning with his brother Regi. I can not say enough wonderful things to articulate the love and gratitude I have for Regi Wooten. If you love Vic, I encourage you to reach out to Regi for lessons. He is “the teacha”. You won’t be disappointed.
Sensational! What a great interview. Victor is clearly a natural teacher, and a profound thinker, as well as a genius level musician. Definitely worth listening to, and should be compulsory for any student of the bass.
I could listen to his teaching and his stories like for hours and hours. This man is just an incredible and awesome human. Thanks for that interview! Thanks alot Peace and stay safe guys!
This is such an amazing moment right here. Obviously Victor is a beast, and everything he says is pure gold. But I'm speaking about Julia. I can really see her living the moment 110% . I know that energy and is unstoppable. I met Guthrie Govan a few times, and the first one I got to speak with him for a few minutes. When someone you admire shares with you that sort of truth is amazing. That makes us resonate. I'm so happy for Julia, she seems like a great person and she deserves what happened right here. Peace.
I was lucky enough to meet him a few years back, and he is THE NICEST GUY IN THE WORLD! He has a magical aura, and he shares that magic with everyone. I'm a guitar player, Mr. Wooten told me to find my grove. To clear my mind and just strum the open strings. Before I could question, he told me the name of the open string chord, an E something, I forget what he said. Then he admitted that, at first, it might sound like a cacphony, but if I find the right grove, it would become music. I found my grove, and wrote a song around it. The downside is that now drummers hate me, because it's a 6/8 song. Hahahaha!!!!
Julia, great interview! Victor is delightful as a musician, teacher and person. Your enthusiasm and sincerity really added to the conversation. And, ... had to go re-listen to Everyday People. Amazing one-note groove! It’s so effective I never realized it was a one note bass line.
This is amazing! I come listening to Wooten whenever I feel like I have lost faith in humanity ❤️ Glad I'm a bass player, otherwise I would have probably never known Victor Wooten! Thank you both!
The Heart and Spirit of the bass belongs to this man...and he's not stingy at all.He truly shares the wealth.Thank you Mr Wooten.Youre all appreciated.
Victor is brilliant and also very personable. I have been fortunate enough to meet him a couple of times because he took the time come out and meet the audience after Flecktones shows. Class act all the way.
An extraordinary encounter of two enchanting persons, what a pleasure to ear and see Julia and Victor talking of life, music and sharing the wisdom it laks so many times in this times. Thank you both so much for this touching date. Just love for you both!
listening to this 2 years later, and everytime it astonishes me how great this man is, in many many ways. I'm both a bass player and a psychotherapist, and listening to this conversation makes me realize how much in common there is in both activities. I thank you for sharing this beautiful encounter with us
This video is incredible. I'm very grateful . I learn so much about music and english. Both of you speach very understable, as slow as necessary to anyone to unsdertand. Thank you!!
referring to the his book the music lesson. love it. the passion of learning the language drives us to speak the way that we need to, to express what it is that we're feeling ~ (yes, I just started watching it...lol)
Such a good interview! Julia's excitement is apparent, but she doesn't let it get in the way of asking thoughtful questions in a relaxed way. And the fact that I want to marry her has _nothing_ to do with my opinion of this interview. 😁
This is by far your BEST video ever, though everything you do is very good. I learned more about the bass and ZERO bass notes that were played during this video. The analogies that Victor used had a very powerful message about learning how to play the bass guitar. #Brilliant
What a great interview. Never tire of Victors voice and ideas. I think once you understand the role of the bass your well over half way there. I was lucky to get into a band and be out gigging after 4 months of picking up the bass. I.m not saying I sounded good but what I learned was what I needed to learn to fill my role, play the bread and butter lines before you do anything fancy.
Anything fancy is not necessary, or even desirable. (IMO) A famous saxophonist said it well, you aren't there to play the funky stuff, you are there to play the bass line. YES, make people move.
Hey Julia!!... congratulations for having this lovely interview with Mr. Wooten...such a huge honor to chat with him....You are so blessed...i love the way you are...Greetings from Chiapas, México.
Damn! Blown away. I could listen to this guy all day. Every teacher around the country needs to take a lesson from this guy! “When the student fails, the teacher fails” brilliant! Great Interview
What a wonderful interview! Absolutely fantastic! Two great musicians discussing the language and soul of music. So much wisdom in Victor’s words. This is one of the best bass lessons on TH-cam! The tagline for this video should be renamed ‘Victor Wooten Masterclass!’.
Amazing interview, thank you Julia! Mr. Wooten is such a humble person and probably one of the greatest musician out there. I love this man, he opens my mind and helps me a lot to find my groove. Huge regards to both of you, keep up your amazing work!
Great interview! I have seen many Victor Wooten videos that included interviews, instructional/lessons, workshops, seminars, Q&A etc,. They are always very insightful and filled with valuable knowledge. I have to say this interview was definitely one of the most enjoyable. Thank you for sharing Julia. Your questions were fresh, interesting and different than most of his interviews. Good stuff !!! Thank you again Julia :)
That's pretty powerful for someone like Wooten who tours to support his family to say he won't regret touring more he'll regret not being with his family more. At the end of the day that really is what it's all about.
Victor Wooten, with out a doubt, I's one of the greatest bass players and Musicians of all time, not to mention also a great teacher. But Victor is also a great Teacher on life skills. He also has a very humble personality, especially to be as famous and successful as he is. But most important to me, He is a great teacher on every day life skills.
Wonderful interview! Victor is truly wise and such a humble person! Glad I will not see Julia practicing flipping around with her bass, would be worried to death! DR Strings are wonderful BTW! I use them on my fretless.
Man, this is not a conversation, this is a life lesson
As always
Yes... from a master!
♥
It's a fricken Master Class.
You said right, friend!
Vic is one of the finest musicians and human beings I have ever know. A most remarkable man👍🏻
Victor & Leland, great artists and human beings! Huge fan of both!
Listening to him, I can hear his passion for teaching, just like his older bro. What a blessing to know such a person. Not too shabby yerself, Mr. Sklar! You are a walking legend, as well. :)
Well said 👍✌️
We all love the spirit of music , yes ?
Great interview! I enjoyed the very personal feel about it...Like you speak to family! Well done, Julia!
I can tell that Victor is intentionally speaking slowly, perhaps realising that this video will be seen by many non-native English speakers. I really appreciate his kindness.
@nynetynyne He clearly does!! And i Like it . You just feel you are in the presents of a very good spiriit I can feel it even behind my laptop.
Wise people speak slowly ✨
Wooten is wise 💫
It is also because he is talking less from "thinking" but more from "being". He is not going over talking points or observations/deductions he made in the past, he is truly listening and responding.
This is so true, and really helpful for lots of viewers. Kind dude
yes！I thank a lot！
I love him. Victor is like Bass Yoda
🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾😄💫
Love him, I do. Wise, he is.
So true! Talented, but wise, he is
Such a great nickname for him!
Exactly! “Bass Yoda”!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love it. Thank you brother.
I laughed way too hard!
OverROFLing :-)
Hahaha!!! That’s awesome!!
Every word Voctor Wooten says is important, this guy is a gift

I love how Julie seems as blown away by his words and thoughts as me... Really a great way to spend 49 minutes.
What is impressing is that she read his book, probably seen a lot of his speech and she is still blown away.
In my case, His speech make me feel more confortable about my errors as a begginer.

man... if every teacher in the world could take Victor's advices, they would start teaching 10 times better, right away!
You are so on point. Maybe that's why I have been putting off going to get lessons from a "Teacher" right now
@Naki Ryan Yep..Based on what VW said "The Right Guidance"
I’m a guitarist but I listen to Victor for inspiration. Peace ✌️.
Got a chance to meet him about 20 years ago and he was the same guy then as he is now humble ,polite and graceful.
“I may be wrong but I believe what I say”. I wish we had more people like this.
He is as good a philosopher as he is a musician!
If you didn't have rhythm, you wouldn't be able to walk!!!!!! Thanx a bunch to you both for a great interview. Peace
What a wonderful man. That wasn't an interview but the viewers being allowed to listen in on two musicians having a chat. Very enjoyable.
What a teacher , he’s a teacher first above all .
Every word he says is considered and thought out, very profound.
I love this guy.
Julia! You got Victor Wooten!!! What an inspiring and positive interview on both ends. We needed this now more than ever! Thank you both and stay safe!

How could I not agree with all Victor Wooten is saying. Wise musical advice for everyone.
@nynetynyne agree totally.
This is everything I needed to hear today, from two of the most genuine bass players in the world!!
Two human beings connecting over music... so sincere and genuine. I'm indescribably happy to be able to be here.

READ HIS BOOK!!! "The Music lesson" is SOO good it completely changed the way I see music as a language
the only thing missing from this talk was, '...my name is Victor Wooten and I'm running for President of the United States.' Incredible.
Every word he says makes me smiles and the way he explains it is just too amazing ❤️. One of the finest music educator / bass player and human being 🤩
His thoughts on music education should apply to all levels of education... Well spoken!

A great interview! In addition to being a truly gifted musician, Victor Wooten is also extremely wise and inspiring! :)
Always love Julia's positivity! Great interview with an incredible bass legend.
Great interview! I have seen many Victor Wooten videos that included interviews, instructional/lessons, workshops, seminars, Q&A etc,. They are always very insightful and filled with valuable knowledge. I have to say this interview was definitely one of the most enjoyable. Thank you for sharing Julia. Your questions were fresh, interesting and different than most of his interviews. Good stuff !!! Thank you again Julia :)
That's pretty powerful for someone like Wooten who tours to support his family to say he won't regret touring more he'll regret not being with his family more. At the end of the day that really is what it's all about.
One note, groove, rhythm...and how to be a better person👍
Victor Wooten, with out a doubt, I's one of the greatest bass players and Musicians of all time, not to mention also a great teacher. But Victor is also a great Teacher on life skills. He also has a very humble personality, especially to be as famous and successful as he is. But most important to me, He is a great teacher on every day life skills.
Wonderful interview! Victor is truly wise and such a humble person! Glad I will not see Julia practicing flipping around with her bass, would be worried to death! DR Strings are wonderful BTW! I use them on my fretless.
Hey, I will take care of myself ;) // Cheers, Julia
