Big chunk of what I know came from your materials.
Really enjoying the Blues material.

| | | | I always enjoy Ed's video reviews and writing in general. Last time I checked he was writing for Bass Player, which I just subscribed to. If you read this Ed, tell them I subscribed for YOU and ask for a raise. Also looking into some lesson books right now, will see if Ed's are in my area or if I can order any.

|  | Supporting Member | | Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: Upstate, SC | | | I am making my way through his bass method and have the walking bass lines book lined up. Wish his material was available some 20 years ago when I started playing bass. Back then I tried a few method books but didn't seem to stick with them and ended up learning by ear. Not that learning just by ear is a bad thing but I wish I could read right now.
Anyway, thanks Ed for the great material and excellent presentation. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
