The Little Horse That Could: The Connemara Stallion - Erin Go Bragh You don't have to be a horse lover to enjoy this courageous, uplifting video. Kids learn lessons in what it takes to become a successful champion while watching this inspirational story. Beautifully filmed and highlighted with Irish music, this 60-minute VHS tape is a winner your children will enjoy watching for years to come. Customer Review: A great movie for the whole family. It's basically a documentary narrated by the horse! You learn what goes into the caring and showing of a horse. A nice idea that all of us love. It shouldn't be too long now where we can recite the whole thing from memory. If you're looking for a movie with a Hollywood plot, this isn't it. It's more enjoyable than 95% of the movies out there.

Customer Review: One of the Best instructional DVDs on the market... A year ago one of our local music stores asked us to do a review of this DVD. Since that time we have recommended it to many of our own students as a great supplement to the companion book, Bass Method Book I (2nd edition), also by Ed Friedland. The feedback we get from them is that they enjoy having something to visually work with between lessons. They like the completeness of the material and the step-by-step approach used to present it. In addition to it being very well filmed (excellent angles and close ups so you can really tell how to position and use the fingers) all of the examples demonstrated are well structured, musically interesting and fun (no "Three Blind Mice" here!). Here is an outline of each "chapter". Intro 1. Startup 2. Playing Technique 3. Reading Music (standard notation & TAB) 4. Notes on the E String 5. Notes on the A String 6. Notes on the D String 7. Notes on the G String 8. ¾ time and Rests 9. Eighth Notes & Eighth Rests 10. Notes in Third Position 11. Position Shifting & Box Shapes 12. Songs 13. Closing/Credits The Startup takes you through an explanation of the parts of the electric bass, the bass amp (and tone/volume settings), finding a good position for holding the bass, and tuning. Playing Technique covers: Right hand; how to play using fingers or pick, Left hand positioning and fingering. Reading Music covers the concept of rhythm and pitch, the musical alphabet and how it works on the staff, the duration of notes, the time signature and so forth. He walks you through some easy examples reading and playing notes using a split screen so you can see him playing the strings as the notation scrolls below. The notes and beat are highlighted so you can see exactly where you are. It's probably the best concept of note reading and playing presentation I've seen in years. Each chapter introducing notes on each string uses the same procedure mentioned above. Natural notes and sharped and flatted notes are covered. Practice "jam tracks" are provided to make playing and note reading fun. This holds true for the remainder of the DVD. At the end, bass parts for six well known popular songs are provided. Again, these are presented in split screen showing right and left hand fingering plus the notation scrolling below. Songs included are: "Imagine" by John Lennon "Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum "Lady Madonna" by The Beatles "Taking Care of Business" by BTO's "All the Small Things" by Blink 182 "My Girl" by The Temptations Ed introduces important features of playing each tune, which is a great way to learn how simple ideas can be (and were) used to make cool bass lines. If you're looking for good solid instruction that guides you step by step, like you would find from lessons with a quality private teacher, then GET THIS DVD! To your musical success!!
