Victor Wooten Bass Workshop-The Language of Music and How to Speak It

Book with online video. This package is a must-have tool for bass players at all levels. In Part 1, Victor outlines his ten essential elements of music - including such important and under-emphasized areas as emotion and feel, dynamics, tone, phrasing, space, and listening. This section focuses on Victor's concepts and approaches and are more theoretical in nature. In Part 2, he addresses the reader with personal lessons, using 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. This section is a more "how to" approach with hands-on demonstrations. Throughout, Victor underscores this vital material with a "groove first" ethic, as well an accent on being musical and creative. Includes over 4 hours of online video. Note/tab. 96 pp.
