Victor Wooten emerged as a game-changing bassist in the early ’90s, via his highly innovative playing with Bela Flek & the Flektones. In Part 1 of this book/online video package, Victor Wooten Bass Workshop: The Language of Music and How to Speak It, Victor outlines his ten essential elements of music – including emotion and feel, dynamics, tone, phrasing, space, and listening. In Part 2, more of a “how to” approach with hands-on demonstrations, Victor uses text, notation, tablature, and video footage to cover such key topics as warming up and hand-strengthening, tone, harmonics, thumb technique, tapping, looping, and soloing. Throughout, Victor underscores this vital material with a “groove first” ethic, as well an accent on being musical and creative – three mandatory ingredients to becoming a highly-sought-after professional bassist. All of which makes Victor Wooten Bass Workshop a must-have tool for bass players at all levels. FREE U.S. SHIPPING!
