Anyone else trying to help Ed Friedland thrive?

I have the Blues book. Also, I've been through the website and learned a lot from various videos. Great stuff IMO.

Thanks Possum! You know, I teach on Skype, and it seems to work just fine. Just sayin'.

Best bass for polka? The Egmond!

 

[RCCollins]

I own most of Ed's books and will buy more if he publishes them!

 

[oldrookie]

Been working to learn the bass for about 2.5 years. Picked up your methods books on day one and they got me started.

Big chunk of what I know came from your materials.

Really enjoying the Blues material.

Damn,that neck looks narrow. It makes the Geddy Lee Model neck look like a tree trunk.

Ed's the man

 

[jumbosilverette]

I helped him make December's mortgage payment with the purchases of Reggae Bass and the Complete Edition. Don' my part.

 

[f.c.geil]

I've only been playing bass for a few months, and I've already purchased every book he's written (time for another one, Ed!). I'd get video lessons, too, but can't afford them.

I'm a big fan of Ed's videos on YouTube. I think it's time I dip into my paper route money and buy some of his books.

 

[Gopherbassist]

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.

I've loved the YouTube channel Mr Friedland. Your sense of humor always catches me off guard. Ha!

I have Reggae Bass and The Working Bassists Toolkit...love the YouTube vids as well.

 

[s_mcsleazy]

i dont buy his books but i will say this

ED ED HES OUR GUY, IF HE CANT TEACH IT WHY EVEN TRY

 

[turbo chicken]

Yes i got gift cards that will be spent on ... book 2 and 3 of the bass method books...


and Skype lessons ... my search for a bass teacher may have just ended.

 

[Old Joe]

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.
