M. Lanciaux: This book made me really THINK for a change. It is about music, but also so much more. Worth reading over and over.

Mr. P. Lewis: Unashamedly inspired by Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah (Michael even admits to flying biplanes in Illinois), this is a really beautiful and instructional tale. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to learn about music, or indeed life... and whether or not there is in fact any difference between the two...
If you do like, do read Illusions...

J. D. Traiger: Read this book for whatever reason you want: for insights into approaching music or any creative activity, for fun and pleasure, for self learning, or even for passing the time of day. It will be good for you! Don't take my word for it - read it yourself and take your own word for it!

Luciano Marcondes de Oliveira: Escrito com linguagem simples e divertida o autor ensina, no decorrer do livro, seu processo de aprendizagem musical, sem abusar, contudo, de termos teóricos e técnicos. Tratam-se de lições aprendidas com personagens excêntricos e místicos, com os quais o narrador (o próprio Victor Wooten) interage ao longo da história. Uma ótima leitura para quem está aprendendo e ensinando música.

: The way this books shows the relationship between music and life is incredible.

Fabrizio: Victor Wooten in questo interessante “manuale romanzato” ci porta alla scoperta dei diversi elementi che compongono la Musica e come sfruttarli al meglio per le nostre performance.
Ci stimola soprattutto a non essere (o considerarci) dei bassisti (o chitarristi o suonatori dello strumento X) ma dei Musicisti.
Consigliato quindi non solo agli amanti delle basse frequenze ma un po’ a tutti (basta masticare sufficientemente l’inglese)

yep: Most people reading this probably know that Victor Wooten is a bass player best known for his supernaturally fast and technical slap-style chops: he plays complex passages faster than most people can even think or hear them, with a kind of contrapuntal rhythmic intensity, that creates a sort of polyrhythmic, polyphonic impression of music moving faster than the speed of thought, while still sounding like funky, danceable grooves that anyone can get down to.

If that's all you know of Victor Wooten, you might be expecting his book on music to be a compendium of speed-building exercises, licks and tricks, and practice regimens... a kind of manual for would-be bass guitar virtuosos.

This book is absolutely not that. It will not teach you double-thumbing, or pinky-hammers, or claw-hammer picking, or anything like that. In fact, if you read this book without knowing anything about Victor Wooten, you might think you were reading something written by a rank beginner still learning to play quarter-note blues-progressions, because that is how he regards himself. It is impossible to overstate how accessible this book is, even for complete non-musicians.

If anything,...

Thomas: i've been a professional musician for a long time. i've always loved victors quirky bass-madness, and his approach to the instrument as well as his ability to create what the music calls for- weather that be unparalleled unaccompanied virtuoso electric bass solos, or straight 8ths under a funk groove. first and foremost, i feel compelled to say, with love, that victor as an author, is not too great. pretty bad actually. however, the content of the book is excellent, and i highly recommend it to every bass student i teach. (weather they're studying arco and are aspiring orchestral musicians, or jazz nerds, or rockers, ext ext). He addresses important musical concepts, and does so tastefully. this is NOT a runthrough of how to do his tricks, and even though i knew it wasn't and wanted nothing like that, i understand that some people did want and/or anticipate that from victor wooten writing a book about music. also i must note, he does try to make this book about MUSIC and not necessarily about the electric bass, however i don't know if a flutist would find it as useful as a bassist would, since it sort of does revolve around the electric bass being his instrument. that said, i do...
