About this listen
"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.

A Fun and Insightful Tale
Narrated by the author, Victor Wooten takes his life experience and spins it into a fantastical tale set in his world of odd-ball musicians, sharing advice and insights that apply as much to the everyday person as they do the performing musician.

Time and Space are the only things that separate one thing from another.
I read this book 10 years ago as an assignment in my own music journey and enjoyed it but listening again this time around was full of new revelations.

Very entertaining, relevance to music diminishes
This book was definitely very entertaining. The narration is really well done, with a diverse cast of characters making it more like a radio play than a narrated book at times. The writing is great and I chuckled out loud at many points. The book is not a music theory book at all, and I think it would be interesting to anyone who is interested in the process of making and playing music, learning a language, or engaging in any creative endeavour. That being said, I was interested in it mostly for the music aspect. The book starts out by fairly clearly tying the concepts and philosophy to specifics of music performance. But as the book progresses, I feel like it loses its focus and becomes more philosophical and spiritual perhaps, but less about music, or makes less effort to tie the concepts back to music, as it did at the beginning. So while I was a little disappointed by the end that the focus on music seemed to disappear, it was still an entertaining listen overall, and it did definitely give me lots to think about in the music realm.

One of the best books I've listened to on Audible
The production was top notch, performance was incredible, and most importantly the story was fantastic.

kinda cheesy
Víctor Wooten is an amazing bass player and this is an interesting way to share lessons and insights about music. What he's not is a writer, the story turns kinda cheesy up to the point is can resemble cheap self help books. Please Victor, stick to play music
