Playing wrong notes with Victor Wooten

[MusicisWin]

Don’t miss around 10:31 where Victor intentionally tries to make me mess up by playing in different keys and syncopations 😂

[mcbeefus]

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

"Theory only comes in if there's a problem, if I need it. Theory is a tool, and like riding in a car, the tools are in the trunk. They're not in the passenger seat. I hope I never need the tools!" Brilliant analogy.

[effess]

7:05 "the coolest notes are the wrong ones". Well who knew after all this time that my playing was cool after all

[JoeBoomerMusic]

“These are all the notes, you tell me which is wrong”.


That’s the funkiest shit ever spoken.

[macuse]

"This has been my favorite chord progression since high school."
Victor : "ya I use that one to tune my guitar."

[BraceDeville]

Universally all bass player - "Music Theory is the law"


Victor Wooten - "I am the law...."

[delacruzianpaul]

"Theory only comes in if there's a problem."
"Theory is a tool."

[beachbum]

Victor: Just groovin’
Tyler: Don’t fuck up, don’t fuck up, don’t fuck up

"I can play in the totally wrong key so well that it will make you sound wrong..." -Victor Wooten 2020

"We don't drive around with the tools in the passenger seat, they're in the trunk." - Just might be some of the best advice I've heard that goes for anything.

12:31: “That’s cool. This is cooler. I’m gonna reshape his groove to make him sound better.”

Causally activates GOD MODE.

I don’t play bass. I don’t play guitar. I keep coming back to this video because it’s ridiculously impactful. Eyes, ears and heart wide open. This is beautiful.

[alvaroziadi]

What he nonchalantly does to “reshape the groove” starting around 12:35 is one of the coolest and grooviest things I’ve ever heard. What a legend!

"Theory only comes in if there's a problem"

Possibly the most valuable line ever uttered in relation to Music theory!!!

[gamewithdurians]

I love how uncomfortable he looks when he's shitting on music theory XD

"If you can play wrongly, you can play rightly"
-My hero and a very friendly bass player Victor Wooten

DUUUDE I LOVE THIS MAN

[danielcarlheister]

Best statement Victor made was that "it is the context in which the notes are being played that matter. There are no wrong notes." That concept is what is "missing" in music education today.

[brendanbiele]

“Your job as the rhythm section is to make other people sound better.” Victor Wooten everybody.

[JerBear]

"Theory only comes in if there's a problem" is some of the most sage shit I've ever heard with music honestly.

[cjams]

Wootens tuning method is more beautiful than anything I’ve ever played 😂
