Wooten comes The Music Lesson, the story of a struggling young musician who wanted music to be his life, and who wanted his life to be great. Part musical genius, part philosopher, part eccentric wise man, the teacher would guide the young musician on a spiritual journey, and teach him that the gifts we get from music mirror those from life, and every movement, phrase, and chord has its own meaningAll you have to do is find the song inside.. Then, from nowhere it seemed, a teacher arrived. From Grammy-winning musical icon and legendary bassist Victor L
"Eastern storytelling, universal lesson." according to P.S. Woods. How do you convey in a book something that doesn't adhere to typical containers of meaning? The difference between the performances of master musician and beginner is not easily notated. There is no economy of words sufficient to capture the experience of a non-adjacent sensory/cognitive process that flows in the moment.The best remedy is concomitance with a master, but the book can not put the reader in the room with the master. What about a story of the master coming to the room of a hero-reader? Getting warmer, but still there is the problem of describing what happens.This book is a beautiful attempt at solving t. Interesting read - a must for musicians, new and old The value of this book really depends on how much Victor Wooten you've watched/how many interviews you've listened to. If you're a pretty seasoned Victor Wooten follower, then a lot of the material discussed here is going to be redundant to you. There are a few things written in the book that I haven't seen elsewhere (and just like everything else Vic says, it's genius), but most of it can be found in the form of YouTube clips.The book itself reads okay. It's a bit cheesy, but I think Victor wanted it to to be a little hokey - after all, he could've very easily written this as a formal, rigid instruction book, and h. Magical Journey!! Absolutely loved this book. If you're looking for guidance and an example for more holistic approach to playing music, you will get a lot out of this book. But if you want more of an instruction guide or method book, you will not find that here. Victor Wooten has a very entertaining and magical style of storytelling. Highly recommended for anyone involved with the creative arts.
