Interview with bassist Victor Wooten - His Music & His Book...pt 1of2

[liorzilka]

Victor, you make me happy. Love you man

[timrocket2]

this why i hate going to music college i just wanna jam im getting more disinspired everyday

[uberbigbread]

I love his philosophy

[IDDJoel]

Two people had their finger slip.

[SphealWithIt]

If Vic became pres. he'd slap all the leaders of the countries he doesn't like, like he slaps his bass guitar, and of course they would die, and the U.S. would be one fearsome funky nation.

[joshmacfarlanemusic]

I like his quote about woodshedding. 5:50.

[rossert1234]

@Axisband00 then that's also to say that Denzel Washington has the sexiest voice you've ever heard... and your a straight guy.

[Foges6694]

He has a cool voice.

[Gazonkie]

lol this innerviewworld channel is retarded.. worst video quality, worst editing, worst presentation of questions ive ever seen for a professional interview channel lol

[OperationGeneside]

His dreads are so real they look FAKE!!

[FireScythe1992]

Ever agree with everything a person says? This guy is brilliant.

[awfulguitarplucker]

Victor wooten as the new Obama...no wait...100.000 times BETTER!

[willkomm1175]

powerful stuff

[bcsk8ter]

he should also be a therapist lol

[TheAlexFactor]

oh my god...

[hammerschorsch]

this guy is a very intelligent person.

[gunfart]

wats the song at the start!!! please

[Stevieraylittlewing]

So, so, SO wonderful!!! Thank you Victor!

[DangerSheep]

strangely, I already knew most of the stuff he said here, but didn't quite realize it... now it's so clear

[Mikenog]

Holy shity this guy is so right

[fenderbass]

That's a virgo for you.We see the whole picture.Not just parts.Good job brother.

[awfulguitarplucker]

@fenderbass yeah..well...actually some of the "Earth" quality he has are after all, noticeable: Stability and Gentle Firmness

[yosoysahidleon]

those words hit my entire body, soul and mind

[concertmatell]

This same philosophy applies to the one Steve Kaufmann, a linguist has with regards to learning languages. You don't need all those' grammar books' to learn to speak. All you simply need in the beginning is exposure to content and its natural form, then later on you can guide yourself with grammar explanations.

Very interesting analogy, I hope you all look into it, search his channel here on youtube, he is the founder of the website lingq

[skaterope]

can anyone say me what the book called ???

[diazconias]

@skaterope ; 1:23 , the music lesson

[MrTrueseventh]

Some good points but some silly one's too .

For example , concentration doesn't equal 'not free'

And let's just play -- yeah , you play an 8th note rock thing in

A Major while I play a 12/8 feel C minor blues. See how good that sounds !

[91deadbydawn]

@MrTrueseventh It's not silly at all. Go buy his book. He explains what he means in a lot deeper detail. The book really will change the way you look at music, and at life.

[MrTrueseventh]

@91deadbydawn I very much doubt it , but I'm glad that it did for you.

[skaterfreak4life]

@91deadbydawn completely agree. Anyone that says that it won't is because they're too stubborn to learn from someone else. I loved his book, very insightful and thought provoking.

[Cheezmonkeysam]

The song in the beginning is Sifu!

[yakdothan]

Anyone knows which song of Victor is playing at the beginning of this video?

[BOOLsheet]

Sifu

[Disturbed071]

So simple, yet it takes so long for someone like Victor to come along and show us. It's amazing how just a few songs and videos of him can make him the most respected person in my eyes.

[acu30]

Victor Wooten for president!!!!

[brunnerdudes]

@acu30

no... wooten for emperor of the universe!!

[daramcn]

I Just finished the book.

It has helped me to move on as a person and a musician,

But if u know this, and i know this..... what do 'they' know. And taking it further, how are they controlling us through the beauty of music???

Huge question........Heavier answer.... Music, we love U !!!

[nicaderrus13]

Read his book.

[GabrielCx2]

this guy is jesus

[drjohnpreston]

what i wouldnt give to have a cup of tea with that guy.

[letsecho23]

if you ever find out what you have to give to have tea with him, invite me for some coffee, i will give half

[steaktastebetterpill]

awesome <3

[chrisr0cks09]

wow that was really deep what he said about the whole woodsheddin' and nature thing. never saw it that way. im one of those people who figured the only way i would get better would be BY woodshedding lol

[brotherstan28]

This is the most beautiful insight I have ever heard

[CJAnonymous]

I've met him IRL and he's really like this.

I asked him how he avoided being an arrogant tool (not my exact words) like some musicians I've met. He just smiled and said "I've made different choices."

[sebas1111]

Victor blows my mind on every video I watch him.

[danieljanca]

His book is amazing, get it! I could have had my copy signed after a concert

[runeborgbjerg]

I once talked a bit to Mr Wooten after a concert. Its was mostly bass talk, though. But he let some good stuff through. I'm still focusing on the stuff I heard.

[Spidey2391]

Very Intelligent man

[QcSp0rts]

But the heri is in everyone... ;)

[peaveyBassAile]

Victor l'Italia ti aspetta

[Romans10Verse9]

That language in a woodshed theory is probably the most astute, genius, perfectly said thing I've ever heard.

[MintyFreshNutz]

Way to Keep those Minds Open !

[jamahlsoares]

quite philisophical. very good.

[apc467]

YOUR SO FUCKING AWESOME

[suckmyfart08]

o boy its my hero!

[TheFatKat]

His book is incredible, he understands music and life so well. He can write as well as he can play. If you haven't read it, read it.

[secondshen]

Whats the Book called...I MUST GET!!!

[indagdnm]

It's called the music lesson and yes you MUST get it.

[gticat1]

yes!! am gonna get outta ma room !!!! it would be grrr8 if victor could come to the uk and stay for a few months and teach us(and me) to be free with our bass and get out of the room

[gticat1]

he makes an interesting point ,well said Vic!

[chinobass73]

cant believe I saw that guy walking at the tenderloin in san francisco after his show at slims!. amazing!

[funkybeat220]

[buckethead777]

Beautiful Vic!
