Bass Riff - Forget Me Nots - Freddie Washington

[PhilWithCoffee]

I was thinking about recording this and posting it, but...you beat me to the punch by a few years hehe. Maybe I'll do a full version when I get the time ;-) Nice work! :)

[jessebw]

sounds good man. You need a real drummer.

[gticat1]

I like it played with the fingers , I know its meant to be slapped .... hey hey ! you like what you like simples :D

[suckfist]

Your example made this riff so easy to learn--5 minutes later I'm playing it myself!

Thanks!

[freddypwns]

one of us spelled Freddy wrong...lol i hope it wasn't me cuz its my name

[ty73us]

YES! I love this song! Childhood memories..

You make bass playing look so easy. Great stuff.

[acdc126]

awesome! its perfect.

[phillynottjr]

Your an amazing player by the way, I'd kill for a transcription or a slowed down version of The Jamerson solo from that junior walker song

did Freddie Washington slap this or play it with his fingers

[jamersonshook]

Thanks! Freddie slapped it. Sorry but I don't use tabs - I'll try to remember to put up a slower version, but maybe someone could do a slap version for you - I kinda hoped MarloweDK would do it..

[phillynottjr]

Yeah i've stopped using tabs, and i'm really trying to work my ear in the past 8 months. I've been playing for about 6 or 7 years but deaf if you get me

I managed to work this out, but a bastardized version, i'm having a bit of trouble with the ghost notes, i'll keep watching your hands haha

[jamersonshook]

LOL - I met Freddie at NAMM, but didn't mention this video - I don't think he'd be too impressed! I'm sure you'll get it down - send me a message to tell me the exact bit you're stuck on if you like, and I'll see what I can do...

[StarrettCityKid]

Fred washington. Slapped it...100% sure..

[bassman464]

i always wanted to learn to paly this riff and wonder how was he playing it now i no? i wish i could slow this lession down some and really pick it up. you play the bass very well keep it up nice?

[jamersonshook]

Cheers!

[macflapalicious]

you pull off the non-slapped- slap tone well, i love all your jams a hell of a lot. i mean no disrespect its just not the same, as if it was slapped.

[jamersonshook]

Thanks - I totally agree! I hope it shows the right notes, though - just add thumb! MarloweDK - if you see this can you throw a quick take up?
