Hey everyone. In this video I will try to show you a way to play ‘The Lesson’ by Victor Wooten. I would like to emphasize that this is how I play the song, and not necessarily how it is played by Victor Wooten himself. Still, I hope it will help you learn the basics of this song.

I broke down the song into eight patterns. I also indicated where you can find those patterns in the studio version of the song. Victor Wooten also does some improvisation in certain parts of the song (be it studio version or live performance), but I will leave that up to you. Feel free to ask questions if something isn’t clear :)

In some shots it seems that I set up my camera incorrectly, and so my fretting hand is sometimes outside of the shot. I hope you can forgive me for that ;)

fotp: Hey, what do you think about Rodenberg pedals ? Just ordered the GAS 728B on thomann, hope it will be worth it !

fotp: Hi, who is your sandberg reseller ? thx

funkyjonx: Does anyone have pro tips or pointers for smooth slides? I find that I hear the individual frets/note much more than I would like.

mikeepatrick: Just really, really wanted to thank you, dude. Groove on, brother...

Dug: would someone be so kind and do a tutorial on "i'll be there" by Marcus Miller? just thought i'd ask!!! thx Marlowe, i luv it here!!!

MarloweDK: Thank you Patricio, your suggestions have been noted, and yes im looking into the ipad too:-)

Patricio: Hi MDK, Wow waht a great DVD... just spent a few hours learning the first few lessons... great quality and well taught... I'm very pleased with my purchase. If any improvment could be made I would only say could there be a 'repeat' funcion so that you can get a lick to play continually? or what aboutt a not showingthe BPM so that we can use the correct tempo using the drum patterns... overall a wonderful job... I look forward to more downloads in the future.... especially for IPad

MarloweDK: Great to hear, enjoy it:-)

Soulburn: Finally I donwloaded the DVD, its simply amazing. I wait for more material like this. Thanks you very much! Cheers from Argentina

MarloweDK: Thank you, and yes, i will make something else for the next dvd
