DVD Reviews of Victor Wooten: Groove Workshop
DVD Review: Something New
Summary: 4 Stars
It opens your mind to explore different ways to view music. It is not so much as an instructional video as a philosophy of music. I would recommend this to any one who comfortable playing and wants to grow more.DVD Review: A different view
Summary: 5 Stars
Not your typical instructional dvd - some techniques but Vic Wooten and side low bassman Anthony Wellington use a different approach to convey what music is about and the role of a bassists. I loved it - I'm a well seasoned electric bass player and this workshop opened my eyes, ears and heart. Jeff Berlin wouldn't agree with this methodology but Victor has always had a different approach - well worth the money and it's fun.DVD Review: Fun video
Summary: 4 Stars
This video will have you thinking in a different way about music. It goes through some of the subconscious aspects of performing while skipping the didactic aspects of learning bass. I would rate this video intermediate because it doesn't teach you much about actual music, just playing it better.DVD Review: Great Bass DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Overall great in all areas for practicing and playing music in general. Very interesting, non-traditional approach to practicing and experiencing music. % Stars and worth every penny.DVD Review: Really outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
To get right to the core of it, Victor Wooten is one of those very rare artists who is both stunningly talented and able to teach his art in a clear, understandable, and non-intimidating way that nonetheless will challenge the best student in the room. The only comparison I can make is Ansel Adams in photography, who similarly created both photographic masterpieces and educational works of great clarity and insight.
The workshop is more about practical philosophy for bass than specific techniques. He won't teach you slap and pop or tapping, nor will he do much with scales or arpeggios, but he will get you thinking about translating your techniques into an expression of you as an artist. This video is about breaking through the mechanical parts of bass playing and conveying music and emotion, and as a bassist bogged down in playing mechanically, I really benefitted from this.
While mostly centered on jazz, any bass player who gets to improvise or play more complex stuff will benefit from this.
Most of the things Victor teaches I never heard before, certainly not from teachers. I am not saying that this is an alternative to lessons or a complete way all unto itself; I am saying that this is another level of thinking to add to your total approach to music, and a very good one at that.
Well done, Victor. Much, much better than the Entwistle and Jaco videos, which while fun are limited by the reality that those two greats were not teachers. Victor Wooten talks about communicating with the bass, but he also communicates with words and example really well.
Description of Victor Wooten: Groove Workshop
Expanding on the groundbreaking concepts he introduced in his book, The Music Lesson 'A Spiritual Search For Growth Through Music, master bassist Victor Wooten lays out his unique philosophy of teaching and learning music in Groove Workshop, a 2008 DVD from Hudson Music. The two disc set features nearly five hours of material, including a complete master class where Victor, along with bassist/educator Anthony Wellington and six bass students, uses his personal experience and expertise to delve deeper into rarely discussed, yet vitally important, aspects of music making. While traditional music education focuses primarily on developing technique and note-perfect performance, professional musicians like Victor know that there's much more to making music than just playing the right notes. On Groove Workshop, Victor redefines the essential elements of music and demonstrates how to apply them in fresh, creative, musically relevant ways.General DVDs
