Boy, do I have a lot to learn! Anyone who's ever picked up a musical instrument of any kind--from the first caveman banging rocks to that little kid at the guitar shop--has though that. I know I did.

Boy, do I have a lot to learn! Anyone who's ever picked up a musical instrument of any kind--from the first caveman banging rocks to that little kid at the guitar shop--has though that. I know I did. I'd been trying for years to break in to the music scene, to show everyone my chops, to make my mark. And I was good. But I wasn't great. I knew that there was something wrong. Then the teacher showed up. I didn't ask for him. I didn't think I needed him. And all he said he could teach me was nothing. What happened next, you may not believe...I sure didn't...but that didn't stop him. The Music Lesson is the inspiring story of a young bass player and the lessons he learns about Life, Music, and the Life of Music. Throughout this audiobook is new, original music written by Victor Wooten and a bonus performance by the original supergroup Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

Wooten's Music Lesson is entertaining and very thought provoking.
I can relate, very much, to the involvement in music, but this book has a great deal more depth to it. It reminds me of the thoughts and words of Richard Bach.

fun read
Although it was more of a fantasy than I expected, I enjoyed the trip. Music as a spirit. OK. I think I had already gotten that but the story was engaging

The Music/Life Lesson
I felt that this book would help anyone become a better musician. It was not just about how to play notes but also how to feel the music and become one with it. A much more satisfying experience for the musician and the listener. It was written in the Lynn Andrews manner as a story that every time you read it you get something different from the words. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you Victor Wooten.
