Victor Wooten Bass Workshop

After participating with Béla Fleck & the Flektones, Victor Wooten followed his solo career with A Show of Hands. It soon became clear that Wooten was also a great musical force, thanks to an organic and highly original approach to musical and musical education.

Victor Wooten Bass Workshop: The Language of Music and How to Speak It, Victor reveals his musical soul.

In Part 1, he describes the ten essential elements of music, in his understanding - including areas as important and under-emphasized as emotion and sensation, dynamics, tone, phrasing, space, and hearing. This section develops Victor's concepts and approaches and is more theoretical in nature.

In Part 2, Victor engages the reader with personal lessons, using text, notation, tablature, and video to address key themes such as warming and strengthening hands, sound, harmonics, thumb technique, touch, loop, and solos. This is a more "how-to" approach with practical demonstrations.

Throughout the book, Victor treats this vital knowledge with a "groove first" approach as well as puts an emphasis on being musical and creative - three mandatory ingredients for becoming a professional bassist.

All of this makes Victor Wooten Bass Workshop an indispensable tool for bass players of all levels.
