Review title: A wealth of good information
Product review: Ed's DVD doesn't start out as if you just bought your bass today--for that you'd be better off with Todd Phillips' DVDs. And Rufus Reid's DVD gives you a little more on walking bass lines and a lot of great esoteric help. But Ed covers a whole lot of stuff in detail that Todd and Rufus don't touch in theirs. For example, various right-hand pizzicato techniques, drops, pull-offs, producing "growl," working in an ensemble with other musicians, basic intros and endings, and much, much more. He doesn't waste any time searching for words; Ed's presentation is well scripted and efficient, and he delivers it very well. The result is a DVD that is jam-packed with information and good demonstrations.I have Todd's , Ed's, and Rufus's DVDs, and I find them all valuable (and fun) for different reasons. For learning walking bass lines, Ed has a couple of really-good books with CDs devoted just to that subject--and other bassists have good ones, too.
