    Victor is the best. He makes a good point that you paid for it all. Some bassists only use half of their instruments potential. He uses 100%

    Am I the only one who has a smile on my face when Mr Wooten shares his knowledge? Amazing bassist and teacher.

    I need permission from Vic to do this, and I mean that. It feels "wrong" because I'm not confident with it. Vic saying it's ok, being Vic, gives permission. What a dude.

      Yes he really is. And he knows the weaknesses of modern teachers. His unorthodox method is more effective than any in my experience.

    "People that hear me do that, if I do that in a musical way, people will think that I know more than I really do." Yup, Victor Wooten has been fooling me for 30 years.

      His ears know the most in the room though lol even if he "doesn't know that much" (which, who's he foolin, he knows a lot lol)

  • @josephcartella3066
    @josephcartella3066 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    "When you do that, explore every note, people will think you know more than you really do." So when I was younger I played with older musicians, and I was scared because I didn't know shit I just had fun and people would say "woah dude you're sick." And I would smile and hope nobody noticed I was "faking it." I've been playing for 15 years and I still feel like I'm "faking it" and hearing Vic just say that lifted an immense burden on my mind and opened a new door for me. It dosen't really matter if its correct its more important that its fun and that it grooves. Thanks again Victor!!!!

    I really laughed when he said, "now you're starting to understand my whole career... I've been tricking you..." 🤣. Just so everyone knows, Mr. Wooten knows exactly what he's doing, all of the time. And he pretty much knows absolutely everything. Don't be fooled. But very encouraging words, really. I love it

    If I could spend a day learning from any bassist, ever, it'd be Victor.
    I could watch this man talk about his approach to music for the rest of my life.

  • @jazzmystic23
    @jazzmystic23 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Yes, Yes, Yes! I’m a music teacher and I’m always harping on my students that there are no wrong notes. Every note has a place in every key. The trick is getting to know them on an intuitive level and how to make each one count. Thank you Victor. You are, as always, the man!

    When I bought my Bass, the salesman said that if I bought the Bass today and today only, I would not have to pay for all the B notes on the Bass and get them for free! I only had to pay for notes C through Bflat. I think I got a pretty sweet deal.

    I love Victor! He's unknowingly becoming my bass teacher lol. We grew up in music a similar way. I picked up instruments and played them until it sounded good. He made me want to improve my knowledge of music theory. He said something along the lines of, "Theory is like a tool box. It's in the trunk, not the passenger seat. If I need it I can grab it but, I'm driving this vehicle. I'm feeling the road as it twists, turns, rises, falls, etc." Flow with it and if you need some tools you know where they are. Brilliant and wise man indeed!

    Weird that it’s called a diatonic scale. Technically speaking diatonic just means that there is 2 tonics. 1 and 8.
    But the chromatic scale also has 2 tonic 1 and 12.
    Maybe music theory genius smoked too much bush and didn’t have a sense of humour.

  • @Kjhd9987hy
    @Kjhd9987hy ปีที่แล้ว

    great stuff, basically, the ear has to be fooled, so go crazy but after a few notes go to the 1, maybe approach the one with a 3 or 5 first. keep the ear happy with the 1 3 5 during your improv.
