Exploring The Fretboard ft. Victor Wooten

[@RE4Maverick]

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%

[@basshunter1148]

More like 5000%. Wooten is amazing

[@recordlabeldao7820]

Ive play alot of jazz soo i had to play te whole fretboard

[@christophermitchum6829]

No boundaries...use the tools you have, and be open to experimentation. Sometimes, you can find a new avenue 😎💯🎶

[@eds6889]

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

[@RonCarterBassist]

He's a delight to hear from.

[@movee00i31]

You're not alone, I'm a pianist but I think this man is a great teacher for all of us 👏

[@bikershark9]

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.

[@_WESTSIDE_]

Factssss my whole view on bass has changed

[@jamesabhilash8006]

Victor Wooten is the Bob Ross of the music world.

[@jonathandevries7181]

Couldnt agree more

[@adamcosnahan9262]

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

[@goexre]

Damn, Victor is such a great man. Best teacher in the world.

[@RE4Maverick]

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

[@disasterpersona]

"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!!!!

[@gregguarino563]

The Mr. Rogers of the bass, and simultaneously the Michio Kaku of the bass.

[@williep1626]

I love the philosophy of his instructions

[@Ekwensuocha666]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🏼🎼🍻

[@unpeople]

"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.

[@bigaaron]

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)

[@alanlaraperez1189]

Goddamn, he’s just a genius! The way he explains the music, not as a sort of square world of concepts and rules, but as a sea of freedom and possibilities is just completely amazing and refreshing to me

[@brniesenders4288]

"I've been tricking you this whole time" haha love you Victor Wooten

[@brandongiovanni2157]

Great video, i always love to hear Victor talk

[@ansmfella]

This needs to be one of THE top lessons for any aspiring bassist/guitarist or any musician really.

[@Tarbashh]

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.

[@256k_]

"makes you think i know more than i do, you're beginning to understand my entire career" LOL!

[@marchangel7462]

Mr Wooten just gave us the secret to his career. Thank you sir a million times over and thank you for being an inspiration to musicians and being a good person.

[@rudymarcelmolinavedia5760]

Word of the day: Explore. Thank you very much Mr. Wooten.

[@Duh6666666]

Always cool to hear a master explain part of his art.

[@musictech5789]

Victor Wooten is probably THE BEST bass instructor I've seen on KZbin.... Vic, do you do Skype/Zoom lessons?

[@jjones7837]

Man Vic brings you back to reality within 1 min.

[@pilgrim9392]

I love this man...He is the Jedi Master of Music, not just bass...His God-given gift of being the music and his ability to put it into simple English that breaks through all the walls and traps of well-intentioned music teachers in our lives is awe-inspiring...If he started t his own University of Music the world would be a much better place...

[@jeroenvermunt862]

..."now you're kind of understand my whole career I'm just tricking you..." Love that phrase.

[@gabewood1090]

This man is a gift to humanity! He makes everything seem so easy and casual. I feel like he’s always trying to cheer me up and make me think I’m doing a great job.

[@erik3529]

This guy is for real a genius

[@jazzmystic23]

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!

[@pandabirahi8168]

Such a good teacher 🙏🏼

[@hotdoggington6962]

Victor is such a great teacher.

[@nateross14]

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.

[@schmaler68]

So tricky fine. Thanx Victor, this is awesome to know. Best and grooving regards, Kay

[@derekspitz9225]

Pure gold. Love Victor.

[@GuitarTalkWithBrian]

Great video. I’m surprised I’m just now seeing it - needs more shares!

[@eyefry]

Excellent! Makes the idea of playing an instrument fun, approachable and non-threatening. This should be the first lesson in everyone's musical education.

[@dachonyofficialtv]

People be thankfull mr.Wooten just gave you a class worth gold :) thnx

[@ricoeurkhino]

Thanks for your wisdom sir !

[@mitchhilton1669]

Wow! I caught on to the ending.. Smart!

[@RogueCheddar]

Victor: You paid for every note on this fretboard, play them all. Guitarists (everywhere): Oh, come on!

[@musicmaestro88]

pahahahahah

[@Sinista-Beatz]

I do this every single day. I explore for similar or sounding notes Progressions Anything I’ve been able to figure songs out by ear like this

[@astronoutsable]

crazy ! favourite bassist of all time!

[@casperriley9873]

I love how he openly admits that he's tricking us. What a man! 😂

[@josephinecaruana3847]

Victor your the best you talk sence and go the extra mile thank you x💜

[@rodriguezgreg]

Thanks Sir Vic for that generous amount of insight, Blessings!

"all of a sudden it sounds like I know a lot, but I don't I just played every note!" - Victor Wooten 2022

[@robertschuffert5140]

What I love about Wooten is that I play guitar and get more from him than anyone.

[@danzn5647]

MINDBLOWING

[@alexfgfg671]

I love this mans tutorials

[@markbradshaw8740]

Great for learning to improvise and solo

[@charlieburns1385]

Thanks Victor awesome♥️🎶

[@estarling8766]

There is still hope for all among those loved the most.

[@adekunlemichael2343]

Wow! this is very insightful. Victor Wooten is always inspiring

[@gerbeelen5831]

Just starting with bass, like his explination. Is there a compleet instruction book of Victor Wooten? Kind regards Ger

[@usejustonce2386]

Such a humble genius

[@merlinoner]

This guy is the best.

[@ThrillHouse666]

When it comes to buying guitars, one of the things I like doing (when I can afford it) is to buy the signature model of the artists that REALLY inspired me. I hope to have his bass one day :)

[@kuyaferds8715]

Thank you sam ash for giving us mr vic to do this quick masterclass

[@rodrickgivens2565]

Love this I think I just got better I like going outside the pentatonic and coming back to it 💥💥my mind is blown away by that

[@murcianity]

This is gold man

[@markmontgomery1447]

MAN! This dude is the master!

[@theodoreesawjr.8352]

Absolutely Fabulous!!!!!

[@LegataireS117]

"All of the sudden it looks like a know a lot, but i don't" 😂

[@ezrakelly941]

This should have a billion views

[@ValentinBeeeeee]

where can i find this one chord loop? i wanna try amd jam over it

[@mick5137]

Wooten repeatedly referring to a fingerboard and Sam Ash ignoring it.

[@suitecutsbydaveupshur842]

Thank you My brother. Very helpful💪🏾

[@bioof4]

He makes it look so easy.

[@kodosgn]

A silly question, but does this also apply to guitar or the lower frequencies make nondiatonic sound better?

[@robertjohnthorpe]

Genius

[@hanskung3278]

If you want to shred, your not exploring each note, your flying over them.

[@RonCarterBassist]

🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@pagman798]

Put Victor Wooten and Guthrie Govan in the same room and universe will explode. Wish I could be in one of their masterclasses.

[@gatolf2]

I don’t understand how this man makes one single note sound good! I can’t get a rhythm like that 😂😂

[@dingdingbella6521]

"I'm exploring every note in the key, well not really in the key over the key. I choose a key but then I play every note of the chromatic scale, and all of a sudden people who hear me do that, if i do it in a musical way. people will think I know more than I really do. right now you're kind of starting to understand my whole career, i'm just tricking you"- Victor Wooten 2022

[@Faus4us]

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!

[@BestBassTabs]

🐐

[@Hilo-kh6uq]

Hello, Victor!

[@GNARGNARHEAD]

legend 😂

[@Leviwf]

victor really thought he could get away with playing the plants vs zombies lick at the start

[@juancarloshuarenagutierrez6643]

Subtitulado por favor En español..

[@jazz.a.m]

damn

[@Ekwensuocha666]

I'd would've been better faster if I had Vic as my teacher. 🤘🏼🎼🍻

[@marcusmarcus2398]

Wooten is actually a phosophe a contomporain music, thanks.

[@wereallthinkingit9389]

Most people play in the key. The key plays in Victor Wooten.

[@darrylbanjoo2675]

I don't understand a thing, but I know he is a Genius.

[@romeou4965]

In other Sam ash video he says “you paid for all 12 notes so use them”

[@CRAZYxSNAKE]

🙂

[@williamhurrelbrink3324]

What most people teach themselves is what everyone else is doin. Not Victor. Not Les.. not a small handful of folks. Nope. They explore as he says. And how great is it?

[@deshawnwooten4950]

I wonder if we are related

[@chi2331]

Fast forward 10 years. Its Kendrick Lamar on bass

[@tumbombelegenazaleth2813]

Why do you like wearing hats

[@kryptonian5539]

I been doing this for 30 years. Just play what I feel and what sounds good. Throw in some actual music for good measure 😂

[@dilatedsmiles5151]

Amazing permotmer. I like the man. Yet, this video is BS

[@Kjhd9987hy]

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.
