[@BassAtoZ]

Simplesmente uma combinação fantástica: VW + Hartke. Muito inspirador ... já peguei meu baixo para brincar com os dois campos harmônicos principais que ele usa neste primeiro groove. Impossível ficar sem reação!!!❤

[@alanloya623]

Came for a bass lesson, left with a life lesson.

[@donaldcummings8407]

Thats what the man does...Legendary

[@welmoedprijs]

Me toooo !! He's awesome ❤

[@readyeddie_]

Victor is honestly the easiest person to learn from. He’s a natural born teacher. Great video.

[@sweetwater]

Spot on, Eddie. 😎👊

[@DeuceSimmonsOfficial]

Word!

[@marthenluther5325]

I can’t agree on

[@kimklbk3721]

Victor is the Bob Ross of music, and he paints with the bass. What a fantastic fellow.

[@janeinarinc.9650]

"I'm not trying to be good, I'm trying to be free"

[@TayTayKemp]

Victor uses the best metaphors, he’s maybe the best bass teacher I’ve come across. Thanks Sweetwater for making this happen!!!

[@sweetwater]

Thanks for checking it out, Taylor! 😊👍

[@TayTayKemp]

@@sweetwater always and anytime my friends at Sweetwater!

[@theburnix]

he might be the best teacher period

When I first heard vic and the flecktones, it was life changing. Not only musically, but it shaped who I was as a person. Naturally, I gobbled up everything I possibly could find and saying that I’m a fanboy is a severe understatement. Furthermore, This clinic is not only for bass players, but all musicians and that’s the real magic that Vic was so kind to share with us.

[@copych]

Victor Wooten is such a source of wisdom. I wish i heard such words in my youth. Not just on music, but life wide.

[@johnramsey2480]

ABSOLUTELY 1000% AGREE with your sentiment sir!!!

[@KRayxKodessA]

I was fortunate enough to host a clinic with Victor in the early 2000's -- he's not only a stunningly gifted musician, but he's an absolute gem of a human. Getting to talk with him at length, listening to his stories and perspectives - it was nothing short of inspiring. What an experience.

[@davolbc]

That is outstanding! I would love to sit with him and just chat. Sounds like you both exchanged gifts that you both remember for a lifetime.

[@GeliSkandalis1337]

This is definitely the most inspiring lesson of any kind that I've seen so far in my 34 years of life. Thanks to everyone for this.

[@farhanur]

Was gonna say the same.. even the 34 years part!

[@-J.P.-]

In an online music landscape in which every other video is titled "10 things YOU are doing WRONG" or ""8 MISTAKES you MAKE all the TIME", it feels so refreshing to find someone so encouraging and positive about why it's OK to make "mistakes" or why you shouldn't be afraid to colour outside the lines. Every Victor Wooten lesson makes me enjoy playing music more than before.

[@ErikZmusic]

Victor is an absolute treasure. I know whenever I click on a video interview with him I'm going to be transported to a world of pure music. I wish you could package his mindset and give it to every new musician on the planet.

[@CapuchoNoAr]

Came to see his gear, but what I received was the best lesson of my life regarding music. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Victor Wooten, you're very inspiring! This video must be mandatory to any musician, no matter what level of knowledge. All music schools should recommend this to their students of any instrument. Thanks Sweetwater and Hartke for bringing this gem.

[@thrumyeyesphoto]

Victor is quite possibly the best music teacher out there. So simple, down-to-earth, yet incredibly effective. Thanks for posting this!

[@batwithglasses]

This man is truly a gift to music...

[@gorkinikolic5102]

Mr. Wooden, God bless you and thank you for the all great music you are playing for us and teaching us. Knowledge of music theory, makes you "free" to play with the music and play music. May music make us all free!

[@tommyrocker33]

This is probably the best music lesson out there, should be mandatory viewing for any aspiring musician. Huge thanks Sweetwater, Hartke, and of course Victor Wooten. Fantastic stuff!

[@dazza42UK]

Absolutely brilliant. What a man, what a teacher and what a musician.

[@joshbeer414]

Man is a national treasure. Ty sweetwater

[@gregcharles6528]

What a tremendous concept - FREEDOM (just like a conversation - new, old, big, or small). Remember like a child, to be FREE!!!! I want to adopt this guy into my family!!!!

[@HustleMasta]

He's not just a great teacher but also a great inspirer. In my humble opinion, the world needs more people like him because what he is teaching can be applied to anything in life.

[@jimalbruzzess2445]

Victor Wooten is sooooo cool !!! Awesome words once again.

[@marcus1228]

Bro the world doesn't deserve you. You're the man. ❤

[@wjcolon]

Wooten is a genius. Makes anyone chuckle. He embrases Miles Davis philosophy: " there are no mistakes." But this was such a smooth and intriguing video.

[@axeman14]

Every time I watch a video with Victor he gives me another gem of advice

[@BuckpLAYZnOGAMEz]

I just bought my very first bass guitar, I’m going from piano to the guitar and listening to Victors knowledge makes me feel like I’m already ahead of the game .. he’s a amazing teacher

[@doctorone1028]

"Pure freedom..." thanks to Victor to remind us music is no competition, it is soul and art.

[@gabedawg]

one of the most humble musicians ever

[@FarrinD12]

Victor just makes me so happy, he’s such a wonderful soul!

[@fondfarewell2]

One of the greatest music minds of all time.

[@joseluisolivera8703]

Been playing for a while now. I never understood such an easy way to comprehend the 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, etc way to know where you are in a key. Victor doesn't miss, inspirational man.

[@mgammill]

this is the best guitar/music lesson i’ve ever heard

[@andrewboyle7442]

Victor is so good at breaking it down,,,I,could listen to him talk and of course play his bass all day ,,this Cat is one of the best artist ever

[@bassboi5052]

"am i the best? no! who can say that?!" i have long maintained that it is everyone around the person in question who can decide whether or not you are the best and in my humble opinion victor is probably the best not because of his technical skill, although it is quite high indeed but because of his ability to express himself through his instrument

[@garryedwards2917]

That ladies & gentlemen is a master class how to appreciate music. Pure legend

[@cristiandml5553]

It makes all the sense in the world Mr. Wooten. Thanks for sharing your time, your experiece, your heart, you're the man!

[@thebsfactory]

Well, if there were to be a Nobel Prize for musical understanding, that prize would unquestionably belong to Mr. Victor Wooten....! ✌😎🤘

[@joshbuddha6112]

Always great seeing people appreciated my cousins wisdoms. Not only is he an amazing bass players but hes an even better teacher and greater human being

[@samuelparra1510]

[@richardaaron4454]

[@CorbieBass]

I'm going out of this world when I am watching Victor Wooten and I am amazed every time I watch him.

[@drewonthebass]

This is amazing, crazy to see him progress as a teacher

[@EnricoGaletta]

This is absolutely one of the best instructional video using simple concepts, what a inspiration. Tip my hat to you!!

[@janrandles8683]

Thank you so much. Fascinating topic and wish I had heard this years ago. It has turned my head around a bit regarding both my music and what I listen to! 🎶💜

[@jasonbryant.bassguitarplay3641]

Merry Christmas Victor. Thanks for making videos that inspire me and obviously OTHERS. Every lesson is a true gift to enjoy.

[@asid2burn]

Victor you are truly inspiring and an amazing person thank you for making the world that much better for being here doing what you do.

[@graxjpg]

Victor Wooten is one of those guys whose sound is like nature itself. The epitome of being is to be absorbed by nature and to represent it and channel it to make your environment a place where freedom does not entail the need to be free. Music as a language is how we were designed to communicate our inner thoughts and feelings.

[@papakefis4252]

One of the best video content I've seen in my life. Not only from a musical point of view.

[@daradaraee2234]

Big love for you Mr Wooten. You're not even just play music, you breathe music.

[@jasonraines7629]

That was so good. I could listen to Victor talk about music all day long.

[@LeviWithTheLens]

victor always has the best metaphors for everything. thanks for making this happen Sweetwater!

[@cyriani942]

Thanks a lot Sweetwater for this golden video. This video is everything. Thanks a lot Mr Wooten for this inspiring video. It makes us see or understand music as the easiest thing on earth. Thanks a lot once again!

[@surranadaley3869]

Victor Wooten help to build my confidence as a bass player and other areas of my life

[@frabber321]

This guy's speech baffles me every time, wonderful!

[@Rwjudy48]

Thank you Hartke and Sweetwater for sponsoring this video. Thank you, Victor, for your wisdom and insights into making music fun.

[@baconfister]

Seriously this is one of the best bass videos I’ve seen.

[@andreaszircher]

Victor, I love your wonderful attitude! For playing music and for playing life. Thanks a lot, man! 🙏🥳

[@kelvinatkinson4038]

Thank you so much Victor for educating us and also sweet water thank you as well🤓👍🏼🎸

[@micheldindaine8403]

OH YEAH !! that was a nice way to spice up the meal, to see the harmonic scenary from a broader perspective. very well explained as long as demonstrated. LOVE IT, THANK YOU.

[@LouBanga47]

I became a Victor Wooten fan before even hearing any of his songs. His approach to learning music is so eye opening and such a breath of fresh air.

[@iBuyYouFly]

Victor is just as great a teacher as he is a player. I'm loving the idea of embracing the "freedom" of playing over being "right"

[@AntonioMeres]

Thank you Sweetwater, Hartke and of course, the one and only, Mr Victor Wooten ❤️

[@mistacoo]

Best music teacher ever. Such down to earth common sense when explaining things.

[@rastahueso]

Vic es uno de los mejores docentes que jamas vi y una de las personas mas inspiradoras de este planeta. Larga vida al gran Victor Wooten !!

[@malcolmbennett3907]

Mesmerizing!! Started watching and couldn't stop. Great teacher.

[@redd6399]

Mr. Wooten you are a National Treasure sir . Thanks for blessing us with your gift.

[@edwardthendean4488]

Words of wisdom by the goat, Mr. Victor Wooten! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@richardaaron4454]

Sorry I keep commenting but this was truly a masterclass in music! I’m absolutely amazed.

[@catboyzee]

Hadn't really listened to him play in a little while. Kinda refreshing to hear his peculiar brand of rhythmic/harmonic genius on the bass guitar once again.

[@KeithCopeland778]

Victor is a groundbreaking musician and a groundbreaking instructor!!! What a fresh perspective!!!

[@ajhproductions2347]

This man has always been a mentor to me. I needed to hear and see this so bad. Victor is an utter legend and he’s so humble about it. Gotta love that man!

[@user-lv5tv3le8r]

The most amazing music lesson I've ever had. Thank you Victor Wooten and Sweetwater. Life Changing perspective and it makes so much sense!

[@johnramsey2480]

Just listening to Victor Wooten talk and implant diamond nuggets of brilliance concerning not only music...but life interactions is just worth more than the earthly treasures anytime to my ears!!!!

[@ianboggs9211]

Is this the best lesson in improvisation I've ever seen? If simple is best, it is. If those five out of key notes are not wrong, then there are no wrong notes. It's just when we play them that makes them more or less cool, or nice, or sweet or grating or just right. And if it doesn't sound wonderful, nobody bleeds and nobody dies. We just get an opportunity to learn how to choose them better. More playing = more mistakes = more opportunities = more education = more eloquence........ Why practice when we can jam?

[@halcop]

That's all the lessons that I need. Bravo!👏🏾

[@blackswandominiscis7715]

Thanks a lot to you Victor for the Music !

[@paulwebendorfer5627]

Unbelievable teacher... I could listen to Victor talk about bass and music all day.

[@thefunkykitty]

"...not trying to be good, I'm trying to be free..." ...yes to that!

[@loganwarwick8270]

Victor is so skilled yet so modest and humble, without doubt the greatest and wisest teacher I’ve ever had the privilege to listen to and to watch, your wisdom and knowledge are truly appreciated ❤

[@vdub1959]

Wow. That was incredible. Thanks for posting!

[@youeyeball]

[@nabsdmusik]

[@bigbronx]

[@larrywoodard5524]

Thanks cuz. I gotta play tomorrow and you changed the whole dynamic of what I'm gonna be playing!

[@alisonlimamusic4992]

Wooow! He just said a few words and I learn so much!

[@stevehall3410]

Possibly the ultimate motivational speaker ever while talking about music. Always a pleasure to listen to Victor and hear how he approached music.

[@tomhock3192]

Beautiful. Exactly what I've needed to hear. Making it wrong so the right can be righter. I've been struggling to be confident in that. This man gets it.

[@luigimangili7719]

You are a Very special person ! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@daveyJ213]

Wow. What a relief! Even though I am a beginning player, now I know I can still have fun while learning to make music, and not worry about my technique and what I have not mastered. Awesome video.
