Victor Wooten - Lesson on Bass Technique Victor Lemonte Wooten is an American bass player, composer, author, and producer, and has been the recipient of five Grammy Awards. Wooten has won the "Bass Player of the Year" award from Bass Player magazine three times in a row, and was the first person to win the award more than once.

The lesson can be divided into several parts:

1) Work with your thumb finger. Victor describes the theme of thumb finger, started in the first video. And showed some exercises.
2) Influences. Victor says a lot about the musicians who influenced him. And about what he learned from them. Three major names: Stanley Clarke, Jaco Pastorius, Larry Graham.
3) Arguments about the origin of inspiration and new ideas.
4) Grooves! How to achieve that without which everything else is meaningless? The idea of Victor - playing scales, stylizing them under the musical direction.
