He is one of the most versatile,, keeping in the pocket, that plays bass to compliment the vocalist, and never over plays like a lot of the bass players do. That is one reason why he has always been in great demand, especially on recording sessions.. I am also a professional musician of many years. Bass guitar,lead guitar and keyboard's player., with over 40 plus years experience
Just learned about Ready Freddy tonight. He was a part of so many great songs. That’s what friends are for and two hearts are both incredible songs he was a part of too.
@@JazMoss if Donald Fagen and Walter Becker(RIP) appreciate your playing you know you’ve made the top of the tree. Those guys were tough cookies. How about a Chuck Rainey feature? By the way if you like Chuck check out a weird album by Hirth Martinez called Hirth from Earth, there’s some great bass playing from Chuck on that one!
I'm ashamed to admit I have only heard of Freddie Washington this weekend! My favourite is 'Mystery' Anita Baker. 'Been So Long' a close second. Just love the way he walks the bass up and down the scales. He helped the Rapture album bring back the soulfulness in Rnb, deep in the digital 80s.
Thanks Jaz - my absolute favourite Freddy line (one I believe never yet covered on RUclips) is Patrice Rushen's 'The Funk Won't Let You Down'. An amazing piece of work by Freddy, showcasing his repertoire of timing, tone & touch... check it out!
Awesome playing! Less importantly, but one can't but notice it: your sound is superb. That neck pickup sounds almost like a P-Bass, great clout and yet there's definition. Are those the original Fender pickups?
They’re are the standard Fender pickups. I like the sound of a jazz bass with the neck pickup turned up a bit cause it sounds like a P bass but a bit more pointy… if that makes sense haha 😊
Hey Bro Great Stuff Could You Please Do A Video On Paul Jackson Herbie Hancocks Bassist With The Headhunters Hugely Underated And Always Overlooked R.I.P 👌👍✌️😎
@@JazMoss Thanks Bro Highly Appreciated 🙏 Please Don't Leave Out God made Me Funky And If You've Got It Ull Get It He Has So Many Great Basslines On The Headhunters Albums Peace Be With You Brother 🙏✌️👍👌😊
It would definitely have to be forget me nuts because the baseline does so much(bass line breakdown). There is no guitar line in the song just keys, drums, bass, vocals, and a sax solo. Always thought Prince played the baseline. You can definitely hear him doing background vocals. I definitely believe Prince learned something from this dude. “All This Love”, by the Debarge is a classic track that could have made the list.
Great stuff, but I disagree with the "Forget Me Nots" line...the notes are incorrect...Here is Freddie playing the line: ruclips.net/video/YuKnHEYh3p0/видео.html

I was fortunate enough to catch Freddie live with Steely Dan in Montreal, in 2008. What a concert! Freddie and Keith Carlock killing it.
Disco-Funk-Soul = Immortal Music!
“Forget Me Nots” is the Ultimate bass line, for me!
It's a classic for a reason!
_...for you?_
@@pangeaproxima3681 Maybe not for you but it is his most classic bassline
That and the song " Number One" off of that same album
@@JazMoss That and the instrumental Number One off of the same album
We personally know Freddie through friends. Nice to know that he has great bass lines. Great bass lines that made great songs last the test of time.
More Freddie for Everyone !!! Pure Joy !!!
My Fav is Henderson's This Band is Hot ;)
Well this is awesome. Double stop slides on Same old Love just sounds good, looks good, and are super tasty! 😊😊😊
Yeah I never noticed the double stop until I started to transcribe the bass part 😊
very good job, a great player so underrated

Great Selection! Starting to like Freddie' style more and more as a reference point💥
Great video Jaz, some interesting albums to check out there. Thank you!
Thanks Mark 😊 Freddie is defiantly not as well know but certainly a phenomenal bass player and producer!

What’s amazing about Freddie is that he solved the Same Ole Love timing problem..his bass transitions quite well.
How did you know I was waiting for Forget Me Nots? 😀
First video I’ve seen of yours, that top down bass neck view right above the sheet music is so nice. Great stuff 👏
Ah nice thanks I'll keep that in mind for future videos!
That's fyah bro~@@JazMoss
This is brilliant. So many classic b-lines. Thank you.

ah I love this line thanks for the great suggestion
@@JazMoss pleasure! Good luck with it 👍🙂
Great job. Congrats !
Forget-me-nots and Anita Baker and really everything he does is just brilliant
Great stuff Jazz!
Thanks for this great educational and informative video. God bless you.
No worries I love making these videos 😊 I’m glad you found it helpful!
Hi Jaz, another Freddie treasure, check out Verdon Burch´s 1982 Record "Playing hard to get" ...he played on all tracks...Super funky
Thank you for highlighting one of my heroes. On my top 10: All or Nothing at All. From Al Jarreau Heart’s horizon.
I love it!!
Thanks 🙏
Black people have natural talent soul and unique spiritual amazing. Blessed and gifted
Not about race....its about the Soul...
Very good job Jaz!!!👍🌈
Cool, thank you ❤❤❤❤
The whole time I thought that was Nathan East on the A. B. records…thanks for sharing.
Love the video! Thank you! What strings on your bass?
Great sound!!!
Dunlop super bright 😊
thank you 👍
Brother fantastic channel
how could mess up "forget me nots" that bad? you were doing pretty good with the rest !
Thank you
No worries I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
Awesome playing! Less importantly, but one can't but notice it: your sound is superb. That neck pickup sounds almost like a P-Bass, great clout and yet there's definition. Are those the original Fender pickups?
They’re are the standard Fender pickups. I like the sound of a jazz bass with the neck pickup turned up a bit cause it sounds like a P bass but a bit more pointy… if that makes sense haha 😊
Thanks for your answer. Absolutely love your sound. Is this jazz bass a specific run/reissue?
these fast octave disco are harder than they seem
Very nice video, I love your channel, is your fender ultra or ?
Yes it’s a Fender Elite which I believe is now called an Ultra… not 100% sure if they changed the name 😊
Great info. what software are you using to show the notes, frets and tabs?
thank you! I'm using Soundslice :-)
Forget me nots
cool bro
Hey Bro Great Stuff Could You Please Do A Video On Paul Jackson Herbie Hancocks Bassist With The Headhunters Hugely Underated And Always Overlooked R.I.P 👌👍✌️😎
Dude what a great idea! I love Paul Jackson so yes I will write this down, thanks 🙂
@@JazMoss Thanks Bro Highly Appreciated 🙏 Please Don't Leave Out God made Me Funky And If You've Got It Ull Get It He Has So Many Great Basslines On The Headhunters Albums Peace Be With You Brother 🙏✌️👍👌😊
Freddie only used his Fender PBass (with bartollini pickups and badass bridge(for brighter sound)) for most of these records
I cannot Watch a Freddie video on a jazz bass
😂😂 it was a great video but I came to hear some slap p bass tone
Are you sure to play the right notes on Forget me nots?
The Forget Me Not bass line is off😑. Just listen to him do it himself on his own RUclips channel.
He does not play C# before going to D on Forget me nots.
Get a life
Yup. That was.....PAINFUL 😩
Right you are sir 👏 👏 👏
His work with DeBarge “All this love”

Drop D erasure on Morph the Cat 😔(technically it's played on a 5-string but Drop D works too)
Forget me nots. BAD👍
Hang it Up , Patrice Rushen
How about Jocelyn Brown's Somebody Else's guy killer slap line ?
Love that bass line great suggestion! 😀
Love that tune! 🎵
DeBarge's i Like it
Oh no top bass lines in the song by patrice freedie on bass dance dance dance and let the music take me.....
😎😎😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
very tasteful and punchy licks, especially the first two ones
Tem nota errada na última música. Eu toco ela .
No All this Love? Nah bro.
He use a Precision bass not a Jazz.
Yep he does 👍
I have flats on my P so wasn’t gonna take them off for one video 😉
