4.0 out of 5 stars Good, for what it is, April 30, 2009

By	Michael J Edelman (Huntington Woods, MI USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

First things first: If you're looking for instruction on how to walk or construct a bass line- you won't find it here. If, however, you can already play lines- perhaps you're coming from playing bass guitar- and you can find your way around the upright, and you're looking for specific jazz technique- jazz pizzicato, playing drops, that sort of thing- this is a good resource.

Eds shows you these techniques in detail, and then demonstrates them. He shows how different fingering can result in different tonal qualities. There's a small included booklet with transcriptions of some of these examples, too, so you can play along and compare your technique and tone with Ed's. So if you can already play jazz, but you're looking for a good explanation of some of the techniques jazz upright player use- this DVD may be for you.
