About this audiobook

"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 though 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.

Ratings and reviews

If I had a way I would send this to every musician I knew and to everyone who wasn't a musician as well. This book is a masterpiece painted on a canvas of Spirit and Revelation. To think Victor Wooten almost kept this story to himself. I am so very thankful he didn't. This is a mystical, magical and musical piece all tied into one. Incredible in every way!
