[ezt123dp]

he could be a hypnotherapist with that voice...

[mastercrowly]

He's like the nicest person in da world.

[ReleaseTHEfatASS]

Most people will never master their native spoken language and if the Internet is of any indication, many barely grasp enough to convey coherent thought--our immersion learning lets us understand enough to survive and convey little more than our most essential thoughts and emotions, and for some people that is enough. However, only through thoughtful study, careful practice, and a thorough understanding of the rules can someone become a master linguist. Music is no different.

[Speer82]

A true musician who is blessed by God to play and tell others about music.

[majesticjedwick]

@Speer82  No, this was not because of God blessing him; it's because of hard work and dedication by Mr. Wooten. Don't take away from Mr. Wooten's accomplishments by suggesting his talent was simply given to him.

I learned drums by ear for like 5 years then I learned how to read.....reading came very naturally and quickly because I basically already knew it....Its important to develop the ear first.....playing by ear forces you to listen and feel

[jinzodude]

music=musings

[mubox]

Thank you.

[telemainiac]

Very true of improvisational music .... still valid, but less so for classical.

[chill579]

When I started on my sax I learned all my fave tunes, and got a feel for it, then I learnt the scales. I love it.

[reno145]

Amazing! Any guitar instruction video I have seen has 3 minutes of shredding at the beginning. I may have to get some of his DVDs and apply them to 6 string.

[Orangemongoose1]

I'm so intellectually turned on right now

[xPurpleDrinkx9001]

This man is the mother fucking truth! (in Samuel Jackson voice)

[ShadowBrave21]

i think that was worth more than a million music lessons imma try improving

[yakuza987]

I think ANYONE, after seeing this video, is a lot wiser.

[LedZepGuitarman]

What he is basically saying is to try everything and don't be afraid to be wrong, then when you find something that is interesting to your ears, learn the theory and understand what you are doing .

[RoccoDad84]

damn, he just blew my mind

[terry3001x]

Wow Victor Wow!!!!

[Famuus]

Amazing and true

[4stringFanatico]

[MrTrinidrummer]

[MynZnusz]

So inspiring and touching! Mr Wooten is king!

[jordasan]

humble and honest! totally true. Thanks master Wooten. I just love the way you see music, and you just changed my view about it and life itself.

[niko8034]

Thumbs up if you didn't watch this only one time.

[niko8034]

After 137 million of years, I think I found Jesus.

[Sk8erguy1996]

anyone else here the pop at 4:08

[chinoBajo]

Victor is one of the most profound musicians out there...im not even a huge fan of his playing(i think hes awesome but im not going to model my playing after him) BUT he is the ONLY well known musician i know that can REALLY teach in way that is so humble and with such a positive force it goes beyond bass and beyond music for that matter...think of marcus miller and les claypool and any other slap monster you can think of, awesome bassists right??? But do you see any videos like this from them?

[tmeehan1108]

I don't even play bass, and I want to get this video!

[smkonwater23]

I love how he approaches music, cos I play by ear, don't know mixo from phrygian, just luv jamming to the music I heard from CDs since my teens.. it's still how I play. From emotions and the energy you want to release out there. :)

[guiltyspark342]

holy shit, my whole mind set just flipped. I never want to read music again.

[MrSoann4]

I'll never look at him the same way after wiew this beautiful speech....
