Help me understand

Ordered last night. :) Be here on Monday.
You will love it. Ed's way of teaching the fretboard and keys is just so logical and organized, there's just no way to get lost. I bought a lot of other beginner books before finding this one, and this one had everything. Ed is also a member of this site, so you can just ask him a question if you get stuck on anything. Enjoy!
 
If you'd rather get some visual cues through online videos, see the link below. Scott has a course, which costs a fee, but he also has a lot of great, free videos on YouTube:
Online Bass Lessons - Scott's Bass Lessons

No! Don't watch Scott! He's a precision playin', tort lovin', flatwound pluckin' jazz elitist! He wants to mold you to becoming a conforming bassist that only plays roots!



Just kidding. He isn't too bad. Just a bit too by the book for my taste.
