haha, I find odd sounds to be 'catchy', so I still have memories of drummers with outlandishly strange timing

Poor Metallica...

@@arthurfranklin9315 maybe it was an odd time signature ;)

The only exception is Lars from Metallica lol

so true lol

david jonathan prolly playing better at 8 then you ever will lol........,,take ya hate else were.

@IPSECMERLIN Merlin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

MusicLover P lol smhh....

MusicLover P bro you keep telling pictures with lil asmr and Joseph, it ll get you everywhere, parasite

True, I'm the only one in my family with talents.

They are 65 now

I understand your point, but insulting my family was unnecessary. My grandmother is a virtuoso on piano, my father is quite the guitarist, and I'd like to say I'm a decent musician too.

That's awesome bro!Groove.

This video put such a huge smile on my face. This is great! Thank you so much for posting this. Music is a wonderful world.

Hey Lil Asmar,How are you man?I can you don't remember you and your dad was sitting behind me at the Bar-Kays concert we took a picture together.God Bless you

Asmar is very talented. This is how Victor had started out at a young age. Bass is not an easy instrument. I have just taken it up 8 months ago and I am in my 60s. I have yet to learn that song "Higher Ground". Asmar is truly blessed to have Victor Wooten as his mentor. The sky's the limit Asmar! You've got this!

@@MusicLoverPearson The Bar-Kays are amazing! Love their song "Soul Finger" Gotta learn to play that funky groove. I grew up in that era!

Jump in, make mistakes....learn/share ideas.but NEVER be intimated or embarrassed about yourself.That is what holds us back a musicians.

Like Victor himself and many other musicians have said: always be the worst musician in the room. In the end, it's what will make you improve most.

Victor is a great bassist, and a genuine human being. Fortunate to have hung out with him in Galveston and Houston a couple times.

Yeah it is,,,,but he can do it now

I think this was the goal - to play music instead of playing bass.

@@harryshmuttle2975 right! of course it's difficult- that's what a master level teaching like this from the Master himself is gonna seem like at first. I bet this kid will become an incredibly strong player if he internalized what Vic told him that day and holds on to it

Edgar Allan Bro yes i believe so lol jedi master

Victor too started out very early. His brother Reggie taught him. Victor was 6 when he went up on stage with his brothers when they opened for Curtis Mayfield in his "Super Fly" concert.

I wish I had real music lessons at school. We only ever got taught how to use GarageBand on the computer. Very sad indeed.

Absolutely

Thats by design to finish dumb us down

But only with somebody like Victor Wooten.

I know your comment is a year old, but may i ask which country you live in? I am from Germany and i had mandatory music class every year from year one.

try easier not harder.... when a teacher is easy on me it makes is easy to learn and easy to play, why make things difficult?

Hi Joelson, Just my perspective that is all. Victor doesn't seem to be going too hard on the young guy either. My teachers have included Richard Davis, John Lockwood, Joe Morris, Cecil Mcbee, John Mcneil and Ran Blake. These teachers have built their lives around playing professionally doing what they love and are interested in helping the next generation of serious and passionate musicians do the same. Usually when teachers recognize that the student is ready to move to the next level musically they will push them a little harder to get them across the finish line so to speak.

what you are doing is "sports" and what victor is teaching is a language.

Hi Joelson, on what basis are you making the comment that what I am doing is "sports"? Do you know who any of the musicians that I listed are? Do you play music for a living? I guess...here's my "sports" website: robinbetton.com/music/

Training is sports. Practice harder until you win is sports. Letting someone know you understand what they mean even though they are executing it poorly is language.

Great words. He gave the young man something to take with him for life.

Check out the original by Stevie Wonder

That’s by Stevie Wonder, not RHCPs.

@@atomcloud9750 the bass line hes playing is from RHCP'S cover, although ya the original is by Stevie Wonder

Atom Cloud yup, just a mistake my bad

IyaEarthseeds I make one mistake and you assume I don’t research? One of my favorite bands of all time is the RHCP’s, so I grew up hearing their version of the song a thousand times so obviously my mind goes there first. You need to chill out a bit

@IyaEarthseeds its not a simple concept to take into practice for a lot of musicians. i am tone blind (similar to tone deaf) for somebody who cant just "play with other people" i am ostracized from jam sessions and group play because i cant "play in key" because i cant hear the different keys. i cant play what they are playing. a jam session defeats the purpose when i need a few tab sheets just too keep track of what notes im allowed to play. also the main lesson was playing to the music that ISNT there, which was the whole point of the lesson. the kid will be able to visualize the music instead of just playing along with his brother. when he is able to visualize his brother plaing drums, he will be able to then visualize what he wants to do, and figure out juicy jams while waiting for the bus. this was about improving is solo play. not incorporating into others. did you watch the video or just try to make a witty comment?

no he was jedi mind tricking him so subconciously jaden would be imprinted playing in lil asmars mind as if he was really there playing and he could hear him. victor knew what he was doin hehhe

Thanks so much,my live KZfaq T V comes on every Sunday night from 7:00 PM EST Time until 8:00 PM EST Time, please tune in,and thanks so much

Mind you, I was as good as Asmar was imagining his brother to be...

Hahahahahaha!

He's just old now LMAO

BassPrayzer Rox you can probably get an idea of it from victor wooten’s graduation speech. They emphasized the same point. Should still be here on youtube.
