The world lost one of its best musicians this month when Chick Corea passed away from cancer at 79 years old. Now, the Berklee Bass Department is paying tribute to him with a webinar called “Chick Corea: Rhythm, Life, and Melody”.

Victor Wooten has just published a new book called “The Spirit of Music: The Lesson Continues”, which follows up on his 2008 novel, “The Music Lesson”. The book teaches lessons through its storytelling.

Charles Berthoud first teased Victor Wooten’s “The Lesson” in a video a year or so ago. So many of his viewers have since asked him to do a full cover. So we decided to learn the live version and broke it down into “20 Levels Of Difficulty”.
