Story
We may not realize it as we listen to the soundtrack of our lives through tiny earbuds, but music and all that it encompasses is disappearing all around us. In this fable-like story, three musicians from around the world are mysteriously summoned to Nashville, the Music City, to join together with Victor to do battle against the "Phasers", whose blinking "music-cancelling" headphones silence and destroy all musical sound. Only by coming together, connecting, and making the joyful sounds of immediate, "live" music can the world be restored to the power and spirit of music.

Story
Playing music should be as simple and natural as drawing a breath, yet most musicians are hindered by self-consciousness, apprehension, self-doubt, and stress. Before we can truly express our inner self, we must first learn to be at peace and overcome the distractions that can make performance difficult. Kenny's remarkable work deals directly with these hindrances, and presents ways to let our natural creative powers flow freely with minimal stress and effort.

Story
There are few creative acts more mysterious and magical than writing a song. But what if the goal wasn't so mysterious and was actually achievable for anyone who wants to experience more magic and creativity in their life? That's something that anyone will be inspired to do after listening to Jeff Tweedy's How to Write One Song. Why one song? The idea of becoming a capital-S songwriter can seem daunting, but approached as a focused, self-contained event, the mystery and fear subsides, and songwriting becomes an exciting pursuit.

Publisher's Summary
"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 thought 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.

Very entertaining, relevance to music diminishes
This book was definitely very entertaining. The narration is really well done, with a diverse cast of characters making it more like a radio play than a narrated book at times. The writing is great and I chuckled out loud at many points. The book is not a music theory book at all, and I think it would be interesting to anyone who is interested in the process of making and playing music, learning a language, or engaging in any creative endeavour. That being said, I was interested in it mostly for the music aspect. The book starts out by fairly clearly tying the concepts and philosophy to specifics of music performance. But as the book progresses, I feel like it loses its focus and becomes more philosophical and spiritual perhaps, but less about music, or makes less effort to tie the concepts back to music, as it did at the beginning. So while I was a little disappointed by the end that the focus on music seemed to disappear, it was still an entertaining listen overall, and it did definitely give me lots to think about in the music realm.

A Fun and Insightful Tale
Narrated by the author, Victor Wooten takes his life experience and spins it into a fantastical tale set in his world of odd-ball musicians, sharing advice and insights that apply as much to the everyday person as they do the performing musician.

kinda cheesy
Víctor Wooten is an amazing bass player and this is an interesting way to share lessons and insights about music. What he's not is a writer, the story turns kinda cheesy up to the point is can resemble cheap self help books. Please Victor, stick to play music
