[@benhamilton3835]

That was absolutely fantastic. Victor Wooten truly is a gift to the world.

[@collegeauthentic5043]

Thanks for watching! Yes, I agree... Vic is a gift for sure!

[@chiralchimera]

Bass helped me through a lot. What a gift to be informed by a living legend. I wish I could go to camp.

[@jcsk8]

Thanks for the free masterclass. God bless you all.

[@collegeauthentic5043]

Thanks, for watching. God bless you too!

UHD is my alma mater. I graduated in 1994. I had no idea Mr. Wooten visited there. Nice!

[@collegeauthentic5043]

Glad you could see what your Alma Mater is up to! 🐊

I enjoy when musicians teach in such a candid way as this. We love Victor. And of course Uncle Larry Graham. I will speak to him soon and share this with him! Teach one! Each one!

[@collegeauthentic5043]

Thanks, Tamar! Uncle Larry... that's bass royalty right there. I recall a video of his where he talks about how he invented thumping because a drummer wasn't available. Innovation from a time of necessity. Yes... each one teach one!

[@studiocreuse]

Que le son de la vidéo est mauvais ahhhh

[@arpotoo7719]

I'd love to see a non- musician pick up a bass guitar and play "3 blind mice" with a open string drone, cleanly in time.That would be extremely unusual .and unlikely , VW. In my experience as a teacher. your'e doing well if a rank beginner can hit the open E string consistently and in time. fretting say, a d flat on the d string and hitting the correct string with the finger in 8th notes and fretting cleanly in time with good articulation is beyond the scope of a rank beginner, as far as I have seen. And a groove that is in the pocket can survive for far more than 16 bars. A sloppy , limp groove that changes feel every bar is not worth the amount of beats it contains.

[@collegeauthentic5043]

Thanks for sharing your perspective!

[@킬리백자로]

That first bass guys is a bad.

[@MrHandleman123]

Victor is fantastic. So, he’ll carry anyone who needs the help. That way, they get to learn and get better.

[@hans-peterhegmann2895]

There is absolutely nothing to say about this.
