With over three decades of work as the founding bassist for Béla Fleck and the Flecktones and countless hours of studio recordings under his belt, Victor Wooten — unarguably one of today‘s most acclaimed and accoladed bassists — has spent a lot of time thinking about his craft and the philosophies behind his approach to music. Sweetwater‘s Mitch Gallagher joins Victor for a deep discussion about finding your voice as a musician, never losing sight of who you are when the instrument goes in the case, and always asking why when understanding your motivation to play and write.
