WOOTEN VICTOR, GROOVE WORKSHOP. 2-DVD

Series: DVD
Publisher: Hudson Music
Medium: DVD
Artist: Victor Wooten

In this nearly five-hour, 2-disc set, legendary bassist Victor Wooten redefines the essential elements of music and demonstrates how to apply them in fresh, creative, musically relevant ways. Chapters and content include: notes - grooving - articulation/duration - dynamics - rhythm/tempo - tone - phrasing - space/rest - listening - and more. Victor's open approach will provide effective improvement to any player's musical skills and, as the students on the DVD show, many of the most important lessons can be learned amazingly quickly. Also featured in Groove Workshop are several solo performances by Victor, as well as duets with bassist and educator Anthony Wellington.

Master Bassist Victor Wooten lays out his philosophy of teaching and learning music in Groove Workshop, a brilliant master class captured on DVD by Hudon Music. While traditional music education focuses on technique and 'playing the right notes', Victor delves deeper and emphasizes many subtle and rarely taught aspects of music making, giving the viewer an incredible insight into his musical concepts.
Working with a master class of six Bassists, each with Bass in hand, Victor - along with expert Bassist and instructor Anthony Wellington - explores the following intriguing concepts:

Notes: is it possible for wrong notes to sound great?
Grooving: what elements need to be present for a good groove to happen?
Articulation: how can you use articulation to better express yourself?
Technique: should you be conscious of your technique?
Emotion/Feel: are you able to make the deepest connection with your listeners - the emotional connection?
Dynamics: how are dynamics critical to drawing in your listeners or pushing them away?
Rhythm/Tempo: what are some specific exercises to improve your time?
Tone: how can tone make people dance?
Phrasing: how can you use your imagination to improve your phrasing?
Space/Rest: why is silence so important in playing music?
Listening: learn why for Victor, listening is actually the most important aspect of playing music.

THE SLAP BASS PROGRAM, Alexis Sklarevski Produced & Directed by David Schaub. TAB. DVD

Series: DVD
Author: Alexis Sklarevski

Over the past several years The Slap Bass Program has become the undisputed bible of slap technique. The video has garnered more accolades and critical acclaim than any other program of its kind. The material has been remastered and finally released on DVD with extensive chapter breakdowns and extra features. Bass Institute of Technology (BIT) instructor Alexis Sklarevski is a phenomenal teacher, and has the rare ability to put all the pieces together in a refreshingly logical, integrated fashion. Starting with the fundamentals of slap technique, he elaborates one step at a time to incorporate complex damping and choking, funk patterns and vamps, "machine-gun" triplets, percussive right-hand tapping, flamenco-style strumming, double-stop riffs, scales, phrasing and much more. He is incredibly thorough, and his demonstrations with a guitarist and drummer show how this dynamic style can be applied in almost any musical situation. Absolutely the most complete and effective method ever produced on the slap style of bass playing. Streaming musical notation and tab is featured on the alternate video track. There's also a Notation Book that is printable from the disc. 83 minutes.
