I've been playing bass for over 20 years, and I've read dozens of bass and music tutor books but nothing like this one. I've read it now three times and every time I pick up on something that I missed previously.
If you are serious about wanting to become a better musician then buy this book. It will give you a totally new perspective on life and music, and how the two are linked.

What an amazing book! I bought it for my husband, a bassist, but after seeing Victor (the author) in concert and seeing hearing him playing so incredibly easy and relaxed but yet at the same time 'killing' everyone with what he was able to do, I thought that reading this book would give me some insight on how he got to where he was musically.
And I think it definitely does. it's a beautiful music lesson that he has decided to share and it helps us all perceive and recieve music from a complete other dimension.
It's written in an easy style, but the message is deep and not to be forgotten if you are a musician yourself.
I was reading only a chapter a day to digest and store the information well, because I have never read anything anywhere like this book!

This is a book that challenges the very way we think and feel about music, and opens up an entirely different view that could radically change how we play, listen, and experience not just music but life itself!
I always knew music was more than a series of notes, but at last someone has put it into words....

Really interesting way of looking at music
This is an inspirational book for any musician, somewhat weird but fun to read and has some quite interesting insights.

A great journey on the path to enlightment
What a great book. I can hardly put it down, and I'm sure I'll read it again. I can't take it all in at once. If you after a humdrum theory lesson, you've got the wrong book. Read more
