From Grammy-winning musical icon and legendary bassist Victor L. Wooten comes The Music Lesson, the story of a struggling young musician who wanted music to be his life, and who wanted his life to be great. Then, from nowhere it seemed, a teacher arrived. Part musical genius, part philosopher, part eccentric wise man, the teacher would guide the young musician on a spiritual journey, and teach him that the gifts we get from music mirror those from life, and every movement, phrase, and chord has its own meaning…All you have to do is find the song inside.

ublisher’s Summary

“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 thought 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.
