No one wants to play the notes they don't like. And we shouldn't. The language here gets all tangled. What this just means is to be yourself and if it turns into beauty for you, whether alone or with others, it's fine.
TallSomeone hmm. I think Wooten was trying to say that you should try to learn how to play all notes and how to make them fit in in a way that makes them feel like they belong there (or were deliberate) even though “they don’t”.

thanks Victor and meth181, help so much to totally break the frame which confine us what to play the 12th note repeat the 1st note, actually , we have 11 notes only, even higher chance to have right note, focus on feel and groove is really the KING
Not knowing the notes works much easier for a simple example like this. However if you take any number of well known jazz songs that have frequent chords and key changes it becomes just as important to know the notes as it does to choose appropriate phrasing to use combinations of the inside and outside notes. So at some point if you want to play music with more more harmonic content you have to put in the years of work needed to develop your tool set to include both rhythmic ideas and harmonic ideas.
Einfach ein geiler Typ...mit einem besonderen Zugang zur Musik. Seine Sichtweise ist durchweg inspirierend. Aber das Beste: nicht die leiseste Spur von Arroganz, obwohl er ohne Zweifel zu den besten Bassisten unserer Zeit zählt. Chapeau, Mr. Wooten!
I dont stop hearing the wrong note as WRONG when a proper groove is laid into it. I just stop "Feeling" the note as wrong. Hearing imperfections and accepting it as structurally permissible is totally different than hearing imperfections and being critical and objectionable. Due to being willing to suspend that criticism and allow oneself to be entertained is no different than reading a book or watching a film with a character preformaning a feet of impossibility. For entertainment sake we can tune into anything we are willing to ENJOY. But it always helps to have a charisma like Victor has. And it is wonderful because he knows how to tell us about it in the most human of terms so that the rest of us can be in on that experience with him. Victor can relate the Phenomenology of Music to is all with the greatest of ease because he is so beautifully attuned to the world as a WHOLE experience. Not a single event or series of events strung together to make mental sentences. He can tie it all into one thing, one spirit, one governing principle. . Enjoyment at its simplest. . Thank you Victor. . You have taught me more with one sentence than the world has ever taught me with all those sentences that I tried to string tightly together.
Could you please summarize that into one sentence? Every word you used is a reference to half a musical world. So, you say half a world and half a world, because half a world and the history of half a world. Stop, this is too much. Your first sentence had three worlds in it, that's six hemispheres, all related to the other five. Why on earth are you saying so much? Do you know you are saying so much? And that was your first sentence only. Aaaargh! The funniest was: but it always helps to have a charisma like Victor. Why on earth is there a BUT in that sentence?! That is so funny, did you do that on purple? Was that the bad note of your comment? How much layers did you add in here? What? More?
@@iamalpharius9483 I shoot first, and ask questions later. 😅 All I meant was: what the hell are you talking about? All thoughts and sounds of all musicians in the world, and the billions appreciating music, since mankind exists, is that what you think of, when you write the word music? And you write a whole string of words, don't you? Do you have any idea what your words imply? And how we should interpretate them? Man, you write so abstract, I don't know where to begin thinking. Why do you do that? Is the hidden message in the 7th layer of possible interpretations? Like "I woke up this morning with a headache, that wine has almost killed me" is a funny way to say "Good Easter to you all!" ?
Spoiler Alert: Having been to a few of his clinics, what he does is ask the audience what is one word that describes music to them. Every time, they give all these beautiful descriptions "Love, Harmony, Expression, Happy, etc". He then follows with "Nobody ever said "Notes". So why is that what we worry about so much?".
@@JustBrewing yep... Although i am sure he meant to say that if he played all the notes naturally except F, then that would make it a major scale (although it is wrong to call it a major scale bc Dorian is a mode, not a scale.)
sometimes i wonder if J Dilla watched and learned from Victor lol, the hidden secret on a whole diff level but same theory, I love this video, Wooten is a pure genius of sound, its the love, not the complete focus on theory alone, = musically inclined, like going to school for machine programming but not mechanically inclined, same theory, like being sort of in the blood or not, breaking that barrier of oneness with sound, like a creek or waterfall, nature does not pick notes but makes the most beautiful sounds
As a amateur that's how I kind of play and what it is it's kooky that's how it sounds to me in sync with the timing of the drummer kooky you get it OG Arrington back to the study f****** amazing
And, people, what he's calling the innocent "feel" of the thing he did was some very sophisticated syncopation and technical ability. So he contradicts himself in that sense. BUT, do feeling and you'll be fine.
"when you talk your free" YEA OFC my wife gets mad at me all the time because of something i said because i think im free in speech :D not gona fall in that "your free to say anything" bull shit again :D great lesson as always
Miles taught this, Vic. He actually vibed his bandmates' "bad" notes into play in real time on stage. You probably know this and are feeding off of it here.
"Find the notes you don't like and learn how to make music out of them"
Victor's wisdom is profound.
No one wants to play the notes they don't like. And we shouldn't. The language here gets all tangled. What this just means is to be yourself and if it turns into beauty for you, whether alone or with others, it's fine.

The Jedi master of bass.
Ohhhhh-kay...who's the oddball that didn't like this video!! I'm a guitar player and I loved his profound advice. ALWAYS love his playing!!!

God continue to BLESS this awesome music man teacher player...A wonderful PERSON. Can't help but love this person.
He's a very very good speaker. A joy to listen to.
Damn got it I can play anything now back to the study thank you Mr Wooten sincerely OG Arrington
The lesson in this is deep
I needed this lesson sooooo long ago!
He was so gifted, what a Genius of a Man and his music.
was?
@@dnch he's still alive!
This man is amazing
Unf*ingbelievable. Victor rules.
Absolutely Fantastic
One of the best tutorials of how to utilise the twelve notes of an octave in a solo... ever.
In music, in life you are always just close enough to find the right note
Man I love Victor!
Best ever❤

Miles Davis say this: there is no wrong notes, thank You Victor for repeat this in a very great moving!
Wrong notes are like weeds, flowers in the wrong place.
That groove is so funky
Wow... thank you .... not only an awesome bassist, victor is a great teacher.

oh yes, you are right
I am testing something ,play any scale from any key over any chord, but right feel and time, really not sound bad
Thank you for the video.
He makes you glad that you're there.

"I only know a little theory..."

He’s right, he only knows very little...he just said and F# would make the scale Dorian when an F# would make the scale harmonic minor.
@@JustBrewing yep... Although i am sure he meant to say that if he played all the notes naturally except F, then that would make it a major scale (although it is wrong to call it a major scale bc Dorian is a mode, not a scale.)
What a man
F# used in a G minor scale would make it a harmonic minor. E natural would make it a G dorian.
The F# would also make it a melodic minor.
Gold.

No bass players just use ONE, Vic. Fun with a loving audience, but keep it real. No bassist in our lifetimes does that.
This guy is a legend! He keeps it more than real! He is an amazing bassist!
A true legend!
Yeah, this is how music should be taught!
F sharp makes it harmonic minor not dorian but I still love you Victor!!!
all that right and wrong note talk is funny :) really funny....etc.

what is so funny in victor speech that make these people laugh their ass off like that ?!! can anyone tell me.
michel DINDAINE because his personality is very warm and leaves the room with a positive aura.
The feel?
They are Germans. The following phrase is funny to germans.."tin box and a piece of string." Go figure.
no F# makes it a Harmonic minor not a dorian
Thestonecutters He was saying E natural makes it Dorian. That’s what he played.
I like everything about Victor except for his sound.

Second solo was an abomination, but the first as well.

Victor has his stuff okay, but he's a bit contrived trying to be a deep leader. He should just play.
