Victor Wooten’s Jam Session Masterclass – “Funky D”

Whenever Victor Wooten visits, you know a good jam session will follow! Watch the AMS crew get funky with the Jam Master General himself as he lays down a Jam Session Masterclass and teaches us how to "communicate" through music while playing “Funky D”.

Victor is a life coach. He makes everyone around him better.

[DoctorSteele]

He forgot the start of his own song then proceeded to direct the entire band how to play the rest. Absolute legend of a bass player and overall musician

[theBoogerman]

These musicians are off the charts. Victor is just astoundingly great. That groove he lays down is filthy and he makes it look effortless.
Well done everyone

Shared an elevator with Vic Wooten way back in the day at a Flecktones show, he was super nice. Then he jumped on stage and proceeded to make people's minds explode. I love that down to earth humbleness he embodies that tends to be an endless well of musical inspiration .

[johnsonjon]

I’m happy Victor Wooten can still play. He deserves more attention

[randyherrin]

I am not a musician. Great music is one of a very few pleasures I get out of this sh**hole world. These guys bring joy to a dark place. I think I'll burn one and watch it again. 😊

[EdSpargo]

Victor is the coolest! Must be such a joy to play with him.

[ian]

What a gentleman, it's almost as much fun watching him interact with these guys and be such a great leader as it is listening to the music :D

[EnricoGaletta]

Victor is a source of inspiration for how and why we enjoy music! Sometimes we forget, luckily he keeps showing us the way

[robertbordevik]

Every dude in the band thinking: bring a-game bringe a-game bring a-game 😂

[crimsontowerfullmoon]

Let music unite us. Cheers from Morocco

[DubDorqDan]

Victor knows how to throw one hell of a party. I just finished reading "The Music Lesson" and it blew my damn mind!

[kevinstone]

Just bought a Bass through American Musical Supply and love it. Thanks for allowing me to come back to music and to regain my passion for professional playing. Played sax for years and will be getting back to it again soon as well. Love this.

[sixstackjack]

victor make everything seem simple and relaxed, . eaven the easyest stuff sounds great when he plays it

[phoenixnine]

So good. Great communication. Everyone able to move to the head or whatever section, instantly. And of course Victor is the master. Love it.

[bongosock]

Victor's true gift is his humanity. I pray that his medical challenges subside, so that his true gift can shine - unobstructed - through his music once more!

[swine]

I heard about Victor Wooten. From several people. I heard he's one of, if not the best bass player on the planet. Still wasn't prepared at all for this video - the man is on another planet.

[tbwpf]

Victor is like a Hall of Fame quarterback. He makes the whole team play better, shine better, and be better. Very nice jam fellaz! Thoroughly enjoyed that.

[ESPLTD]

I’m a life long metal head and recently I’ve also been getting into this jazz fusion stuff a little bit, thanks to learning Megadeth songs featuring Chris Poland, from “Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying?” It’s really opened my mind up a lot musically and I’ve improved so much, thanks to him, and this genre.

It's a good time to be a Wooten Fan. Funky D is insane, I want this mix forever. I want this arrangement tattooed on my forehead.
