Damonjames Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone signed up for the Ed Friedland walking bass lines course via Scott’s bass lessons? i messed about with it too long and missed out, just wondering if anyone has had a look at it yet?

CameronJ Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I got it while it was on offer but I’ve barely scratched the surface. So far so good though, I really enjoy Ed’s teaching style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yank Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 When I lived in Austin, used to go to Ed's bass emporium. Also watched him close up on upright, gigging in a duo with a guitarist at a pastry shop. My wife and I were front and center and the only one's giving our undivided attention. He sat with us during break and couldn't have been nicer. Quite the class act and wonderful musician. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you can't read music, consider Bob Magnusson's book, also very good and includes tab: https://www.halleonard.com/product/viewproduct.action?itemid=695168 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathy Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I can recommend the course and teaching concept. For about the cost of two bass lessons, it's very good value. It led me to enrol in SBL, which I am also very impressed with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learnt my upright bass technique from Ed's Jazz Upright Bass book & CD. I'd recommend it for beginners wanting practical advice about the basics of playing technique. Great bloke !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could buy the book to get started with in the meantime? Then you'd have a nice head start when the course comes round again.

jimlpx99 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 It's back. See Scott's bass lessons. It's not live but I believe is a recording and same materials from the live class. Lifetime access too; $97. Deadline is tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownote Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Mogadon dull teaching style, though doubtless the content is good. I keep falling asleep to the vids so its takes me much longer than it should. Mark Smith at Talking Bass.net is IMHO far better but it is also far more comprehensive. Like far, far... reading War and Peace to get an outline idea of Franco-Russian relations in the early 19th century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
