Customer Reviews
It's not what the picture shows
Very dissapointed with this product, it says 2007 and the picture shows Victor Wooten as he is today, but the dvd is a really old kind of 80's dvd,where he has a moustache and funny colours. I really thought this was a new dvd, so when i figured out what it was i was very dissapointed and mad. They sell it as gold, i could have buy it here in mexico for 2 bucks.
Good Live Footage, bad lesson
I've bought quite a few videos of bass tutorials and have been playing for a few years. I'm an active musician as well, and I found very little redeeming about this video. The playing is fantastic, don't get me wrong, he's a modern legend. However, his lessons are really far too short. The double thumb technique is never articulated at an angle from which the viewer can easily learn it, and I've turned to watching the Montreal Bass Day '98 to try and get a better view of it. He doesn't offer very much in the way of playing technique or soloing, which completely irritated me given the title. I wish I could have previewed this video before I watched it, because to me it wasn't worth the thirty dollars for a live concert DVD.
Great but not exactly what I expected
Its definately a great dvd, but I was expecting it to contain recorded footage that was mostly new. The actual dvd is old (but dont get me wrong, he still rocks out) but has some new footage of him playing a few concerts. Its a good buy for motivation, and transcription ideas, if your an advanced player. And if your a beginner, the lessons will definately help.
