Ed Friedland kills it...

[steelbed45]

You know, I stopped taking lessons with Ed because of the distance factor, but now I'm starting to think 70 miles isn't that far. (digs out 7th chord lesson from ed...)

He does lessons via Skype as well, just FYI...

Ed you always sound like a total boss. Really digging this Smith on you, you wear it well, to turn a phrase.

I don't care for/can't quite handle a 6 string, but I'm starting to think I should have a 5 string strung E-C for jazz/soloing gigs.

See Ed's post just below yours.....seems they are both on the same level now.

The guy got all the fanboys knickers in a twist, and got the response he required, and for bonus points, he got Ed Friedland to slump to his level and be just as petty.

Welcome to the internet. Modern day Juvenile detention.

Disappointing.

Oh come on now, would you begrudge an old man a little fun? And by the way, I didn't slump to his level... I stooped. Big difference! Now... perhaps we can put this unsavory experience behind us and get back to the business at hand? My upcoming review of Crate's new 15-watt practice amp!

I'm gonna try and make it out to see yall on Saturday, Ed.

Today at Luckenbach is sold out I believe, but come down tomorrow (Sunday) to Strange Brew Coffee on Manchaca, I'm playing with a cool trio called Chop Shop for free 3-4:30pm.

Great playing! Who are the six dorks voting thumbs down??

 

[SRFSterling5]

Another vote for Ed. The video reviews are great and really gave me some insight on how to audition gear before buying. Ed, keep doing what you do. You are a fine example for all of us. Aloha!

 

[rigorous bass]

Hee hee!!!! Monkey!!

 

[Kirk Bryant]

just wow Ed you so kill man I wish I had studied more "o" that Be Bop stuff. In truth it's my unwillingness to embrace 4 to 6 hour a day pracitice sessions. I did do that in a younger day. I've forgotten more Jaco than I care to remember. I hate old timers disease.....

 

[lbbc]

I agree that Ed is a great bassist. I bought an instructional video just because Ed was the instructor. I'm not very good at slap, but Ed's explanation has put me in the right direction!!

 

[lbbc]

BTW, his reviews are equally good. I bought a Genz Benz 6.0 12T shuttle shortly after saeeing his review

 

[Wwolof]

I've bought stuff on the strength of an Ed review as well. Plus his videos have shown me some quite useful stuff about improving my EQ.

You won't hear a word against him from me.

And, if you're lucky, while on Skype with Ed you might see Dawn in the background doing the housework while wearing a French maid costume

 

[ElMon]

Ed, you've SINGLEHANDEDLY set back bass playing.......or at least, have made Schmendricks like me look bad in comparison. Please refrain from posting youtube clips like this so that my employers won't find them and in turn ask me why the $%&* I can't do any of that stuff!!!!

Crap. I'm not on the intranetz much on the weekend.

You still doing the Sideshow 5 thing with Jack? You got so much stuff going on I can't keep up. haha

 

[f.c.geil]

I need a new 15 watt practice amp, so I'm looking forward to your review, Ed.

 

[rockinrayduke]

Well, at least we have the detention teachers, like you, to be above the fray and lead by example. Oh, wait..you're just as bad. It's a slippery slope, ain't it?

And, I'm sorry--having a different opinion is one thing. Character assassination is another. If someone tells me that they don't like Sadowsky basses (for example) because of how they sound or feel, that's fine. If someone tells me that Sadowsky (for example only) is a blight on the world of bass guitars and makes the worst basses known to mankind, that's not fine. See the difference?



Someone insulted my friend, and I told him to put up, or shut up. I'd have done the same thing to his face.

Word.

i love ed's reviews and he was a major factor in me getting my L2k, but i i'd like to see him go to a pawn shops or bargain basement type stores and rock out some weird old vintage equipment someday, maybe like diners, drive ins, and dives i guess, probably more of a reality show than a review, he seems to have a great sense of humor and i think he'd be very interesting outside of his studio

 

[cheezewiz]

Personally, I like having two windows open on my computer. One side of the screen with lesbian porn, the other side with Ed's reviews. I listen to Ed, and watch the girls. Besides, Ed killed my Uncle Guisseppe, but he had it coming too.
