- At NAMM this year, our dear friend Victor Wooten swung by the Reverb booth to teach, inspire, and play the bass. Victor also gave us the skinny on his awesome music camp, Victor Wooten's Center for Music and Nature (vixcamps.com). Victor also brought along fellow instructor and saxophonist Bob Franceschini to help demonstrate.

Victor Wooten is an amazing speaker. I could listen to him talk all day.
First time I attended a Victor Wooten's masterclass was in 2004 at the BPC when I was still a student at Berklee. My first impression was that he must be the wisest musician on earth. Fast forward to 2018 and after watching many more of Vic's masterclasses, I still feel that he's the wisest musician on earth. He has inspired me in not only the way I make music, but also how I live my life.
Victor is so affirming and charismatic he always makes me want to pick up the guitar and just start to play! ^^,
Yes
Victor Wooten makes you want to play your bass guitar
Every aspiring musician should watch this. So good.
21:28 - I must be a much greater musician than I thought. This is how I play walking bass to every song.
that 7 rule blew my freaking mind
The stuff that Victor Wooten talks about sound basic. But even with years of dedicated practice one might miss all this and still sound amature. Victor is like a prophet who can change music education forever. I wish his aproach becomes mainstream one day.
I think one of the most important lessons that Victor taught is that you should not be afraid to make mistakes, as long as you keep the groove going
that just means he’s GREAT at time… the problem is most musicians can’t properly keep time (myself included)
Jacob Collier says he prefers a player that plays all the wrong notes on time, than a player that plays all the right notes outta time

@@carstarsarstenstesenn what’s up?!
Why can’t I like this twice?
Victor is on another level of awareness!!!
Fantastic Victor:
No one teaches feel, or rather let me rephrase it, discover feel already in them. It is usually left for you to find it years later organically. what a waste!.
Excellent good demonstration of feel.
The first time somebody actually conveys and performs the power of feel so simply using chromatism. Absolutely Great !
Riffs in the key of Victor Wooten
Victor a very captivating orator. So humble and down to earth
I am so inspired! I haven't been this inspired in... I can't remember the last time I was this inspired! Thank's for the lesson. Honestly, I got everything I need from this. Thank you.
he just always leaves me speechless. he is .. in my opinion....one of the most musical, virtousic musicians who has ever lived. Knowing that there are people like him out there make me happy to be a musician and give me hope for humanity.
Thank you Victor, I am humbled.
That was such a magical moment, glad I was there to see it!
Many Thanks, to Victor Wooten, for relating his experience, and sharing what he learned about simplifying the introduction to music theory.
Been to music school for years when I was a kid. Took me a decade to get a few principles explained here. Not a single teacher were able to tell things simply...Like, how did they put us, 10 years old kids, in front of a music sheet with a pen and expecting us to be musicaly good, curious and interested? I picked up the bass again 3 years ago after seeing some Wooten's videos. His words have always been followed by a succesful learning and it's only TH-cam videos....I owe him so much. This camp is a blessing for musicians! Mr Wooten please never stop being you.
Thank you so much for putting up this video. I might be exaggerating but Victor is god of music. He has taken music to a different scenario.
Thank you! This is it, y'all. Kudos to Joe, Victor Wooten and Bob Franceschini for reminding me why we do this. Love. Music.
Such a great teacher with interesting insights & ways at looking at things. Read his music book, a must read!
whats the name of the book??
Shiva Reddy The Music Lesson. Get it!
Thanks brother :) :D
It's not really a music book, per se
I know i got it
Vic is just a super human being.
so this was incredible. I definitely will be attending that camp!! you better believe it!! the close out was so heavenly!! my goodness!!
i have to get to his camp soon. thanks for this.
Vic has turned into Yoda.
The force has always been strong with Vic
I've always called him "Mace Wooten" personally
bass he slaps
You misspelled God
Master Jedi of bass
I would love to meet him in person
So Victor is confirming something that has always come natural to me as a musician with zero understanding of theory: Music starts in the head.
My only formal music education was 6th and 7th grade choir class, and what little knowledge ive retained ive only applied to singing (obviously) but as a guitar player it didnt help. So i play guitar with absolutely no idea what im actually doing musically speaking. I cant tell you what key im playing in or what scales and chords im using. I just try to find the notes on the intrument that fit whatever jam is going on in my head. My mind is constantly playing music if its not occupied by something more urgent.
Music is emminating from my thoughts and my guitar is simply the tool to express that music.
まさかウッテンさんの動画を探してる時にこんなにも素晴らしいソプラノの音が聞けるなんて.....今日ついてる。
Wish I could like this a million more times
Victor Wooten! Love him
Those were alot of my favorite things Bob and Vic that was just amazing to behold I want to go to this camp...
there was this one time at bandcamp..
that ending jam was tasty. thanks for the advice victor!!!
This is fantastic. We are going to the camp for sure this year. Have been wanting to go for a long time. This is the year! Thanks for posting this video and thanks Vic for being so great at sharing.
Love the outro... reminds me of Glenn Moore, Paul Mcandless from Oregon...
Priceless material!!!!!
Vic Wooten = the Epitome of Humanity and Human Success. Wotta Guy !
One of those people who in a few moments can make stuff clear. Well done Victor.
Great interviewer, very natural and selfless. Great stuff right there!
Yes! I've been looking for the full video! Thank you for this! 👌
This is an excellent presentation, including music theory! Thank you so very much, Reverb & Victor Wooten! ;)
Guru!!!
nice course, great jam.
Read The Music Lesson
Insure would love to go to Wooton woods!! He lives close to my mom in Tennessee
Amazing! Mr. Wooten que maestro!
Excellent! Victor's speaking voice is similar to Denzel Washington's.
I LOVE THIS!!!!!
wonderful!
damn, thick ass groove to begin with, Vic's sauce is FOREVER.
He is a great mentor.
Wooten is an enlightened human. How lucky we are to have his presence. And Alana Rocklin!!!!! shout out. Go listen to STS9. It's good for you :)
Legend.
Great stuff
To me, I don’t agree there are 30 keys under the system of 12 equal temperament. I will classify major and minor as modes instead of keys because what makes a key is due to the tonal centre from my point of view. When C is the tonal centre, the musical gravity or you can say the ultimate goal of the music is on the note C. So no matter in C major, C minor, C Aeolian, C Lydian ...etc. They also have the tendency goes to the C, the tonal centre. So, when C major goes to C minor, I won’t say it’s a change of key, I will claim it as change of mode, cuz the tonal centre doesn’t change. What do guys think?
Where are your guitar videos?
astounding!
James Cook went to the first camp too. He tours with Luke Bryan country artist. :)
I was there while they were filming this!
You're a star! Thanks for stopping by the booth, James. :)
24:55 that melody is so good wat
What was the song they were playing?
Awesome!
Vic was freaking the hell out that dam intro.
Waaaaooo! This is deep
Victor seems like a really nice guy
μοναδικος...!!!!
Victor knows about STS9?!?! One of my favorite bands
So I have to renege all my previous comments on this (on all videos) I still disagree though here’s why: you can write a song in ALL scales which would be the key signature. I want a dialogue in this.
If I write a song in the KEY (key signature) of C7, can you tell me I’m wrong? Can you tell me I wrote it in a different key and changed the name? No. And you can’t just say it’s a chord substitution. The key signature C7 is only C7 like the key signature of F is Only F (one flat 4).. now I tell the band the progression is a 7-3-6-2-5-1.. so when we play the 7 its a flat 7.. how does this not flow like any other key and chord progression?
The key has a key signature.. the point of the key signature is to tell you WHAT (not how many) flats and or sharps to play.. so if I wrote a song with a key signature of C7 what other key could that be BUT C7.. the seven isn’t playing a Cmaj7 it’s a C7 as in dominate 7 as in flat 7. So I wouldn’t write the key signature at having 1 flat because then you would think F. F flats the 4 But it would be C7 which flats the 7.. which is the mixolydian mode/scale..
Now this is why I disagree because victor said Dorian is not a key it’s a mode.. well Ionian is a mode , aeolian is a mode;
You can say if you want writing in C7 is just C maj with a flat 7.. and I could say writing in C minor is just C major with a flat 7-3-and 6..
just because old theory says (for the sake of general understanding) that all other modes beside Ionian and aeolian aren’t keys.. doesn’t mean that’s right. It’s a very limited way of approaching music.
When you write a blues song.. you do not have to write it in major or minor, you could write it in the blues scale. Even though blues is minor scales played over major keys .. you can write it differently.
I still don't get the 30 scales thing. This seems like a move to get people to question scales. Which i respect.
18:06 Does anyone know what this style of walking bass is called? How does the concept work? I get the 1-4-5 concept and when to land on them. Mine is really basic 😔. Any help or direction would be fantastic!
14.40 love it
Please tell me that was not completely improvised at the end. Cuz if so that was amazing.
It was mostly The Lesson, a song by Wooten.
If anyone knows where the bass line in the beginning of the video is from please let me know.
The song is called "Flip Flop" and is from "A show of hands 15"
As much as Victor and I can disagree about minor actually being a mode, or that there are actually seemingly infinite scales, I still love every one of his talks.
Also, I get what he is saying about “where is the theory of other things in music”. Dynamics and articulation are usually included in contemporary music theory discourse, in fact. But I think what he is really getting at is that music theory tends to lack the other human aspects of music. Music theory, like the STEM fields, reflect well the human aspects of organization, categorization, or description. But they often miss out on the psychological or philosophical aspects like intuition, perception, interpretation, impression, entertainment, and complex emotions.
I think music theory is often changing in a more considerate way regarding those aspects. But perhaps music theory is the mathematics to music’s psychology field. They both are important to understanding the function of music and in creativity. Yet, are totally not mutually exclusive.
Bass to me is not a lead instrument, but what he's doing here is pretty freaking awesome.
amazing in 9 50 At my own camp, sounded like Richard
How does one practice in Db differently from C#? What does it mean to practice in Cb as a key distinct from B? Are chord progressions and note choices different/how so?
That end jam killed me
vic you're great... you remind of tiger woods... and einstien... and ... and ... and ... ho oh ohoh but i've been reading s**t bout these guys looking at what miles william mathis writes and now know you make so much sense and now it make it look like it's not rocket sense :)
Does anyone know the song Vic and Bob played at the end?
I need an invite for next year, for reals.
Now I’m on this video looking to see if someone can help me out-
Someone give me a key that you can play in that’s not on the wheel of 4ths and 5ths.. major and minor- we can clear this up now.. then I’ll play in “all 30 keys” because I’m still confused 🤷🏾♂️
I dig everything else on how victor talks about music
Major keys in the circle of 5ths: C G D A E B F# C# (8 keys).
Circle of 4ths: F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Cb (7 keys).
15 major keys.
Minor keys in 5ths: Cm Gm Dm Am Em Bm F#m C#m (8 keys).
Minor keys in 4ths: Fm Bbm Ebm Abm Dbm Gbm Cbm (7 keys).
15 minor keys.
30 keys total.
I have a question, isn't A# and Bb the same?
Someone knows how to be part at "victor camp"?
Great video. I want to go to Victor's camp! Is it only for kids? Do you think he would notice that one of the kids has a salt-and-pepper beard and a receding hairline? I could even teach classes like:
"Disappointment: How to Deal With Being a Mediocre Musician" or
"Regret: Admitting to Your Parents That They Were Right About What a Waste of Time and Money a Music Degree Is" or
"Bowing Out: How to Pawn a Drum Set"
PS - You could not transcribe that piece of music using only three notes. Close. Still a pretty good exercise.
😂 "'one' is not good answer."
Just one.........................That F'ing key to unlock the piano! Who locks away music?
I can see, it would be OK to do, if the instrument was in a museum for instruments.
Like it could be damaged? Maybe? There may be reasons, but I just feel bad about the music being a prisoner.
dudes a fucking genius!
What was the song they played at the end.
Truth
19:45 he says he played a minor triad in the key. But he says he played F minor while in the key of F major. Im confused, how is F minor in the key of F major??
IMHO it's the blues that make it sounds correctly. You can switch from F major to F minor instantly if you improvising in blues, hence the blues scale. Furthermore, this 'rule' may even applied not only on blues music solely. I've heard similar stuff from ballads, pop musics, and jazz of course.
You look much like Mr. Tito when he was younger 🤛
About the theory thing - It's 30 and not 24 keys just because of enharmonics. What I mean is - Do you practice in Cb Major (that has seven flats)? I assume you practice in B Major instead. You could practice in Cb major, but if the idea is to use your ear and not learn from the page, then those two don't matter. Which is why I think the better way is to think about it as 24 keys, and not 30. That could just confuse younger students...
What was the song they played at the end?
anyone knows what it the track at 23:49??
The Lesson - Victor Wooten
Whats the name of the first song?
Flip Flop! here's a great version: th-cam.com/video/fOFf9kBnlGM/w-d-xo.html
I'm a bass player trying to get as much knowledge from any bass guru I can find online!! 😔
oh my god, when the sax comes into that ending song...
最初に弾いてる曲なんですか？
That intro song... I need to know it's name
Flip Flop. Here's a great version: th-cam.com/video/fOFf9kBnlGM/w-d-xo.html
I stopped halfway through this video just to say...."DAMN!!!........"
Whats the name of the piece they play in the end of the video?
