It’s this channel where the playing most reliably has the groove that is missing in so many other bass videos. You either got it or you don’t, and she’s got it!
There should be a "bass face" band composed of all the fab lady bass players of the world, including Este Haim from Haim and Johanna Soderberg from First Aid Kit along with Julia, make it so!
Julia, thank you so much for putting extra groove in my life. Having soaked up as many of your fantastic videos as one man can in 24 hours, I've just bought a Jacksons 3CD box set (late 1970s) and a 4-CD Earth, Wind and Fire box set. I consider myself kinda lucky to be born in 1962, because when Fantasy came out, I worked out the chords on the piano, and drove my family mad by playing it non-stop. - Richard in the UK
Hey Julia! That was one of the best disco songs I've ever heard! The thing that was always tough for me was playing those octaves for 5 minutes. I like the way this line breaks up those eighth notes. You played it fine-tastic! Love the sound of those flat wounds.
Julia's version is so much hotter than the version in the chart here. More slides, more dead notes, the line just comes alive. It feels like how it'd be played by someone who's listened to Flea a bunch and couldn't help themselves... I know I couldn't 😁
My goodness! Real honest musicianship, proper notation, technique, and earnest joy in investment! 24 hours from now I will play in public. And only manage a small fraction of what I just witnessed. Goodness sakes alive!! Every time.
Noice! The Mick Jackson version of this track is very interesting, as he seemed 2 B highly influenced by Stevie Wonder....so the track sounds like a Stevie tune.
Funny that this video came out last week, next week Tuesday and Wednesday I will be playing this song live with the school band on our school Summer concerr
One of my favorite bass lines! I wanted to hear Ms. Julia play this entire song in her favorite Jackson 5 basslines video, my wish has been granted today. It's always a treat to hear Ms. Julia's bass covers 😊 I have a question that @2:50 part in the original song, isn't that played with some overdrive with slap technique because it sounds more punchy?
Wonderful ! What about a next song of the Beatles ? Famous for Eric Clapton guitar solo... But extraordinary bass line from Paul McCartney. While my guitar gently weeps. I am sure you will perform it perfectly, Julia 😊 All the best, knarf from France 🎸 🇨🇵
Let’s groove into the weekend with Julia. Thank you. 👍🏻 And as always, here’s your homework for next video: Theme from Alf, theme from Tatort (late 70s, second part), theme from Starsky & Hutch and the theme from Kojak 😁
One of my funk favorites. And as always, love your playing. You should take a listen to Paramore's Ain't It Fun. That's got a very groovy bassline to it.
Such a joy, Julia and Motown songs! I wonder if you’d consider covering Bad Company’s Good Lovin’ Gone Bad.. British rock but kinda.. funky bass line??!
Hi! you are an excellent bassist and have a great sense of groove. I recommend you listen to Dionne Warwick, especially the song 'Deja Vu.' It has an impressive bass line
Amazing bass line. You should listen to the spanish version of this song by Luis Miguel, is also good and also there is a Salsa version by Tony Succar, amazing covers too.
Maybe I've missed it, but I've noticed lately the acoustic string bass in the background. Does Julia play the string bass? I'd love to see some of that!
