The riff at 11:26 is not hammer-ons. Freddie frets and thumps all six notes. And freddie's sound is different because he plays with a light touch.

Totally true, but for those of us that aren't Freddie it might sound better to hammer on there. So much more that makes this riff great, I think if you focus on getting the slaps right or not is kinda pointless. I mean, I understand being a perfectionist and playing it the "right way", but the groove is so much more important and if hammer ons make you groove better you should play it "your right way". Plus, this is on a precision, which I think is pretty rare for a slap bassline.

Scott, you're right about this being a very thumb-centric line. Particularly on the riff at 11:54. Not sure of his technique on the original, but over at least the last decade or so, he thumps every note on that riff. He also thumps each note of the F#-G# riff, though it doesn't sound like that on the original.

BassByTheBay agreed with you. The hammer ons usually don’t sound powerful like on the record. I was doing the same all this while until recently I saw Freddie’s video

Right-o you are. Loved that line. First heard on Dick Clark, not very good over the tv. Just recently checked it and it was made in 1982. Are you kidding, seems like only 15 minutes ago! The hazards of gettin' old. Since it was such an agile note transition, for a long time I thought it was a keyboard piece. Wrong! Still love it, just like it was...yesterday.

Very nice tutorial Scott, thanks! However, at around 4:10, the dead note is actually not dead but played as A, if you listen the original carefully. I think that's pretty crucial for the harmonic vibe of this bass line.

Ready Freddie Washington provided the most tasty "P-Bass slap" that is so typical from the late 70s. He was one of the first guys using EMG P's pickups. Now he's using passive Bartolini 8s.

This is a brilliant lesson, but I have seen elsewhere that Freddie Jackson actually used more slapping with his right thumb than actual hammering on techniques that we'd mostly use. He himself makes it more complicated to play it his way.

Hey Scott, when you go back down to the B to C part (the 3rd little part) how do you keep the E string from ringing? and do you have a video about how to slap, basically, for beginning slappers? you know, stuff like how to deaden the other strings, how high your strings should be off the fretboard, how to set your dials and amp to get that sound. thanks!
