Freddie Greene, Musician
By Sandy Freeze
"If you prune the tree of jazz, all you have left is Freddie Greene.". Jim Hall, to Guitar Player magazine
Guitarist Freddie Greene was a well respected member of the Count Basie Orchestra who knew his place was there, and his place there was the equivalent of an engineer in an ocean liner, maintaining the engines' speed and power, while the skipper set course and steered.

This chunky Barre chord would never sail, only rock the boat... Freddie swung. He might chose notes from two adjacent strings, but skip the ones immediately above or below those. |____________Strumdabiz____|Ab Major Grande Barre ~E_A_D_G_B_E~ ______E|Z4+++|E /The Closed Root Triad/ [1 - ! - 1/1]POSIV / _____B|Z4+++|B Fifth [^ - ! 2/ ^] / / ____G|Z5+++|G Third (~tenth~ up from the lower Root [ 34/ ] / / / ___D|Z6+++|D Root [ ^ ] / / / / __A|Z6+++|A Fifth [ grips ] / / / / / _E|Z4+++|E Lower Root #\ \ \ \ \ \__/ / / / / /########## g-\ \ \ \ \____/ / / / /-Tablature- r;;\ \ \ \______/ / / /;;;;;;;;;;;; i---\ \ \________/ / /-Tabulature-- p::::\ \__________/ /::::::::::::::
