Fantastic job Lydia, bravo. I'm a intermediate female guitar hobbyist getting ready to buy a 4 string bass. Can't wait. Thanks for the inspiration; keep on keeping on!
I will x2 that, keep them coming Lydia, you pick the perfect songs to do as well. I havent heard Free for at least 14 years and you brought it back with Style... Excellent work as always
Lydia, That was very nice. Great rendition.. and great playing and singing. Thanks for putting yourself out there and sharing your art and talent with us all. Mmmmm.
WOW!!! I can't stop listening to this. If ever you get the chance to make it out to Colorado, you'll definitely have a fan with a front row ticket already.
Fantastic. What an inspiration to see somebody slap and sing so beautifully at the samr tim.Thank you Lydia you are an inspiration. I will study this version...
there is a typical cliche that goes something like, "you are my inspiration", but in this case, you really bring out the meaning, with heart and soul......you are an inspiration! You ooze rythem, soul and funk! Thanks!
That was really amazing. You have such a great voice and your bass playing is fantastic! Glad to see you are producing videos again. Lookin' forward to more.
It is impossible for me to send less than 5 stars for such a fine bass player/singer.You are the most musical el. bass player i heard untill now.Wonderful.
WOW! I have never seen a woman handle a funky bass as well as you do. Nice and clean. I've been playing bass myself for about 35 years now I alwasys enjoy well the bass can stand out. YOU DO, LYDIA!
Lydia, I luv your choice of songs. From Cameo to Niecee, you got mad soul. Your playing is sweet too. I'm a rookie at the Bass and right now I wish I played like a girl... Lydia that is!
Amazing, Lydia. As a female bassist myself, you truely astound me. I'm still only learning though. But I know a mind-blowing bassist/singer when I see one! You're my idol.
I saw Marcus Miller live a few weeks ago... and they played 'Free' and I think your version is still 30 times better. You are great. My mom loves this video as well haha
life isnt fair. i play bass and go for this sound but only end up being good at ska and funk. your entire list of vids are all beautiful. killer tone, lovely voice and wonderful soul-pop jazz sound. congratulations, you killed my dreams lol
I've come back to this video so many times in the last six years, its not funny. RUclips keeps forgetting that I like it so I like it again. This sold me on you... I bought your album on iTunes, then Marcus Millers album with this song. I'm looking for you with Candy Dulfer, and look forward to more official releases from you!
Splendid! A very funky performance like this from such an amazingly-talented woman bass guitarist like you who can sing and play like that makes me feel really happy inside. This kind of solo performance should definitely get on a TV talent quest or even a children's TV variety show - you'd be good at it. Keep it up honey - Splendid!!!!
wow lydia you play very good, and sing very good! and sing and play the bass at the same time...¡awesome!, ¡excelent! the feeling is great! congratulations you are awesome!
OMG! You had me smiling out loud at your beautiful exhuberant playing and singing. Don't tell anyone, but this song was a hit when I was in high school circa 1977!
I just saw Marcus miller on wednesday and they played 'free' and... to tell the truth i like this version way more :] its all around well put together. I figured the line out and ill post a reply or something soon . Great job. you are a very talented bassist/singer/composer!
playing bass and singing is a difrent world to playing guitar and singing and it takes alot of skill to intigrate the timeing and not loose it. Hats off to ya lydia
0:41-0:45 just made my day... extraordinary piece. In truth I rarely meet female bassists, let alone female bassists with an amazing voice such as this one. Great song :)
Awesome singing and playing I have a passion to play and since I am lefted handed I am going to learn it upside down, just being different. Keep it up!!!
This girl is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. She is a beautiful young lady with a totally awesome voice. Her bass playing is AWESOME as well. This just KICKS ASS!! 1 million stars out of 10 from me totally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi LYdia, fellow bass player here, heard you singing Free, and I had to comment.. You got some soul girl... I'm an old bass playing funkatier up here in the northwest.. A big Louis fan, you got some skills. Keep it up.. I'll post some video for you here soon as I figure out how to do it...
i remember the first time i saw this video in like 07... the summer like in august... and i was barely able to stand the first time you got to the chorus! you took all the life out of my legs! lol this video is a classic! lol
Sorry, i have to comment, i literally just got this album and was 37 seconds into this song when i clicked the link for yours of a forum, spooooky, really nice take, you have a great voice and your playing kicks ass
totally agree. You are very good lydia. Playing a marcus miller bassline is hard enough already but you sang along with it which make it so good. Is like you doing 2 different thing at the same time.

Love this bass guitar version of "Free", Lydia. I need to study Dutch properly, but I'll try and speak some that I know how to say, as well as read and write. Het was zeer, zeer goed. Geweldig! Dazza xx :)
Can't tell you how many times I have watched this video and shown it to my family. Great Job Lydia!
