Every BASSIST needs to HEAR this - VICTOR WOOTEN chords
Start Jamming...
Listen to the record.
The face don't ever change.
So who would sit here for an hour and do this?
See I'm going to go on for
Curtis would look back and be like
That ain't endless long, right?
Yeah, you know, and you know, if I did
By the third [Ab] time you're gone, right?
[N] By the third time you quit listening to me [Bb] and you're in it.
That's the power of playing [Eb] simple, right?
And repetitive [N] because it doesn't take long for people to get it.
If I start [E] going
[Dm] You know [N] how quiet you are now?
Because you're listening.
Listening is cool.
Maya Angelou said people won't remember what you said,
they won't remember what you did,
they'll remember how you made them feel.
Music is no different.
If I can catch you or hit you, grab you by feeling, right?
I got you.
Then I can make you listen.
[Bb] I can pull [Ab] you to where the other cool stuff is.
[Gb] But feeling is where it's at because you're born with feeling,
you'll die with feeling.
Feeling doesn't have to be learned.
Feeling is another [N] universal language like love, hate, jealousy.
[Gb] Nobody has to learn that.
That's not [Ab] cultural dependent.
We feel [Gb] everywhere all the time.
So when you can reach someone with feeling,
you can play less techniques, right?
And you end up playing more [Dm] music.
That's why B.B. King
[F] If B.B. King was in a guitar competition [Bb] by today's [E] standard,
he wouldn't even play this.
How much theory you know of chords
B.B. [Eb] King has played the same five notes for 60 years, [N] 70 years, right?
But your grandparents and your grandkids will all know B.B. King's [Eb] name.
Your mom and your kids won't know
We just lost last Easter Alan Holdsworth.
Amazing.
But your [N] mom don't know who Alan Holdsworth is.
And neither will your kids.
But everyone will know B.B. King.
Figure out why.
I didn't play like that.
[F]
