I'm 44. When I grow up I wanna be able to play my bass just like you.
I came here to say the same thing. I’m nearly 40 and I look up to this girl.
Whoa.. I'm trippin'. Saw your comment and thought it was mine. I too am a 44yo Shon who wants to play just like her when I grow up!
Same here as well & I'm 50 😂 amazing right hand technicalities 👏👏👏👏
me to! beautiful!
So true
RIP Mac Miller, and RIP this bassline, because you killed it.
Dick Johnson LOL u are wrong for that second part of the comment! I spat out my drink hahahaha. I agree though 😂
Funkiest white girl I've ever seen
damn you're nasty
Dick Johnson what do you mean under “you killed it”?
that is very disrespect thing to say to mac okay?? wtf
Someone called her "Thunderkitty". I really like that. What an homage.
wallace brown I love that, that’s perfect
She is in a league of her own. 😀
that could have another meaning.. ahah ha
@@ayronron2033 Only to feeble minded losers like you.
Facts, Thundercat is the goat
this video is reason I started playing bass
I hope your good at Playing bass now☺️
Did she the tab for teddy swims my bad?
Wau!
Not even kidding but same here
And how its going?
Sometimes I forget how amazing the Internet is, I'm a Syrian father of two watching a vary talented young lady across the world killing it on the bass. wish you the best. rock on!
God Bless. Love (& apologies) from the U.S.
We are with you Syria! Love from Canada! ❤️
Bass Guitar Riffs & Songs Tabs & More problem?
MrGenedancingmachine Go fuck yourself bitch. Begone with your negative energy
A syrian dad watching some funky ass girl jamming the bass .. sir I'm in aleppo and i need to find you, hope you're not so far away
NEVER hide that talent under a bushel! ALWAYS let it shine bright for the world to see!
aiiyoo jesus my man,
Right on, Jesus!
I always knew Jesus had good taste, despite what my church taught me
How this dude is verified as Jesus Christ
DiskoSpider workin’ miracles 😅
Mac Miller would definitely retweet this if he was alive. That was some amazing bass playing.

@@CrazyTerps347 lmao my battery percentage is 47. RIP STEEZ
Can't believe it's been 9 months already 😥
Man he would’ve loved this cover
Thundercat, the actual bassist of this song (and many other hip hop current or rnb songs hes a session musician with a brand) did in fact retweet her
How can anyone dislike this? Her playing is clean AF.
People just hating
@@kennethstewartjr3521
Yes, that's how I see it ... people who hate themselves ... or Salafists, they are not allowed to like music ...😅
Guess the world just needs the shorts.
@@marcusk5571 heh, I lack those and it only brings inspiration!
No I love it
As a drummer, i have to say... Bass is the coolest instrument.
TRUTH.
It’s the downright rhythm of it- said by a percussionist as well 😎
Drums are most important, then I’d say bass, then prob chords and then lead. Cool wise - I rarely find visually watching a bassist cool, it’s kinda awkward, but listening to it is the best. A good bass line is unique.
But drums set the tone for sure
YESSIR
Only a drummer can recognize this because they are so symbiotic in a band. A bass needs percussion to hit hard and vice versa. I would rather learn bass before guitar, and that's coming from a drummer
Also home girl is recording this on audacity, in her bedroom... and her chops are crazier than 90% of fools out here in studios
Daniel Caballero To be honest when I saw the outfit/glasses and what looks like a wood panelled wall, I was half expecting to see a crt monitor with windows 95 running on it in the background.
It makes me feel so old that I remember all these ‘retro trends’ from when they were current 😂.
Awesome playing though! Goes to show that practice and talent are the key not gear. She’s spent the money where it counts tbf, the subs are great instruments, and the b3 can do most bass tones convincingly enough that 99% of people would never know it wasn’t the actual amp/effects being used.
Well said, and very true. Truly amazing what talent can do without costly equipment....
The most recorded bassist ever is female. CAROLE KAYE.
I feel called out and I'm ok with it
audacity for the realzzz
She’s taking that thing for a walk! People are amazing, this is why RUclips was invented!!
Cam Day actually, RUclips was invented so we could rewatch JT expose Janet Jackson’s tiddy at the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII. However, I think we can agree that this is a MUCH better use of RUclips.
I keep coming back to this over and over again for the last year or so as I'm practising myself and am still amazed at how good a cover this is
Audacity, an entry level bass, an entry level soundcard. All you really need when you're a killing bass player. Great job, you nailed it.
Musicman needs to send her a setup Asap!
But her tone is still better than most pros.
Open source fuckers
Expensive equipment/bass/guitars isn’t really necessary. Especially on an interface
@TIGGY ZARS Musicman Sub Ray4.
I have no clue how old this girl is, but she needs to be touring with a band

Love the sweatshirt.

So much talent thanks for posting
Poetry 🙂
seeing someone with small hands nail stuff like this rlly motivates me 🥺
She’s mature beyond her years musically, playing stuff even accomplished bass players would be proud to be able to play. Great cover. Mac and Thundercat would approve.
Thundercat did approve. :) check the first comment.
Honestly as a guitar player it doesnt look that extraordinary
@@hmlqrt2716 trust me, this is hard as shit and she absolutely nailed it
@@hmlqrt2716 Honestly, every time a guitar player borrows my bass and wants to play a song or two, it usually sounds pretty bad. By some reason very few guitards can nail the groove when playing the bass. A bass is not a simpler form of a guitar with two strings less. The groove, including usage of dead notes and syncopations is completely different from what most guitarists might play. (I have played both guitar and bass for ages so I do have some insight in both worlds. Julia is a great bass player. I'm good, but I wish I was so right in the pocket as she is).
@@hmlqrt2716 honestly as a bass player, it is incredibly extraordinary
Dude. If the OG line is Thundercat, then you are Thunderkitty. This is sick. Brought a tear to my eye
Please delete this.
Daniel Raygoza lol I know it just seems so derogatory even though it obviously isn’t meant to be
Lmfao, this made me laugh but I know what you mean
@@danielraygoza3933 fuck off, go cry in a corner
Doctapeppur ahahahaha
That bassline should be inducted to the HipHop hall of fame damn
if you know you know
It's just so damn funky
finally, after an exact year of purchasing a bass because of this particular video, I can finally play her arrangement
Great job man!
Nice!!
congrats my good man
i am girl btw
How did you learn I’m trying to as well
Oh my god, that FILL at 01:22 is so funky and CLEAN. Amazing! You are making Mac and Thunder Cat proud!
You're a absolute terror on that bass, keep up the work!
The fill at 1:42 is also SO GOOD!
The one at 2:34 is dope too.
And then at 3:59 🤯
Ik !
Marcus that’s the classic Thundercat steez and this girl is a little funk machine killing it to death! Greasy and so stank, love how she nails the “stingers” perfectly and covering a lot of real estate in a hurry without letting off the groove once. Masterfully played with flawless technique and feel, especially being that young. Very impressed! 🔥💯
So cool. I know for a fact Mac would’ve loved this video.
Yes most definitely! Really miss mac man gone way too soon!
Palmer S comment choked me up
He appreciated his fans
Caleb Tainter I’m sorry that this is how you try to make yourself feel good.
Caleb Tainter you’re so cool bro!
One of the most noteworthy things about your playing is just how clean and well articulated your notes are. Superb muting from both hands, absolutely no extraneous noise.
Also, amazing sense of groove.
That's really what's tripping me out, usually bass lines nowadays are super compressed, this is so pure, you can hear the fingers dragging on the strings; insane.
She doesn't just play groove, she is the groove.
She invented groove. I just sent this to my honey who I know will absolutely love this. He plays strings as well. I love this!
im not sure why....but those glasses are so damn funky... theres so much unintentional swag poppin off this young lady...not to mention her amazing skill
TelecasterGod She makes good decisions!
It is called.....SHE IS A SERIOUS MUSICIAN....STYLE COMES AND GOES.....BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS CHICK IS GOING TO BE HERE FOR A VERY, VERY,VERY LONG TIME...OMG.....SHE'S AMAZING
Yeeeeees unintentional SWAG
Bingo. My thoughts exactly.
Yeah ... Her look gives me a Moonchild vibe
All in the fingers. She is rocking a 250.00 bass. All about technique.
Good Job!!!!
Quality is hard to come by ive seen a guy destroy his 500$ bass because he didnt know how to properly intonate and calibrate his neck its not the bass its the player
If you can find a properly intonating instrument with a straight neck - sure! :)
It's not the hammer, it's the carpenter...... !!!
It's not the hammer, it's the carpenter...... !!!
Unless it's a star sound. I wouldn't touch that with a fire poker.
To nail this in a single take is DAMN impressive. And keeping it real on Audacity. 10/10
If you're reading this comment, the person I'm replying to, Nathan Hui-Yi,has really good music you should check out.
I’m going thru heavy depression and anxiety but hearing ur covers and seeing how much u enjoy doing what you do gives me hope to stay around (and hopefully find something I enjoy doing just as much as u enjoy what your doing) that’s what I meant n I thought it was obvious but there’s people that seem to think I’m putting pressure on u by saying that your the reason I’m staying around but it’s the joy u have for what u do that gives me hope I can find something like that as well and I have) sorry if my comment was bad or misunderstood
The best thing in the world is that everything changes, even when it feels like it's forever.
Snowdenbleep I really appreciate your kind words I don’t know you but it means a lot
Stay around, you have to outlive your enemies and everyone who wronged you so they’ll know you’re a badass (that i know you are even if you dont know it yet) 🥺
Lili Ann thank you so much for your words and encouragement I’m here still just living day by day and staying strong for my family.. it gives me so much hope to see how kind a stranger can be to someone they don’t know . God bless wherever u are
@@AlexVargas-yc9sx get a bass and Join, EDB (Escuela de Bajistas) Miki Santamaria online School, fuerza.
The people who disliked this are jealous this girl is a gangster and her sweatshirt is awesome too
Lol best comment
Some ppl just want to keep you down. Something about it just freaks me out 😎
E A big facts
She's rockin' that Polish vibe
One could say, her sweater slaps
there’s nothing like someone absolutely killing it on the bass.. i’m so envious. this is way too good
That's what a real musician sounds like. It doesn't feel like a person playing a bass, it just flows into one thing. It's a bassist playing. It feels so liberating. Nice work 😄
I am a beginner bassist at 56 years old. This young woman is my new inspiration!
Holy smoke. The Thunderforce is strong in this one!
She's hitting lick's that I've only heard from top R&B/Jazz bass player's like Stanley Clark, Patrice Rushen, and Larry Graham; she would make them proud... lol Amazing Performance!
Davie504..... lol
This video singlehandedly made me decide to buy a bass and start learning. thank you
Don’t ever give up. Have fun always.
Russ take that negativity somewhere else little man
Don't ever stop playing and in a few years you'll be so glad you didn't
@Ross Frazier haha lol why
Me too!
I can’t describe how this cover makes me feel. THE VIBES. It’s just so VIBEY. Ahh, the groove hits hard every single time I watch.
So damn true !
All Bass players have been simultaneously revived by this video.
people stop giving thumbs down and encourage these young creative artist. give positive feedback and constructive criticism. that's her artistry and skill set which is awesome and will only get better as she grows. happy listening.
Not to sound dramatic but this shit just saved my life
It's such an immaculate cover, not being dramatic at all
This whole album is a blessing
Cool
She so above and beyond.
So glad you’re here 💜
Her sound is pure and clean!
I'm a young girl that plays bass too. I play for my band. I hope to get as good as you one day. You're very talented. You're badass

I've converted this to mp3 and I now listen to it more than the original.
This right here is what it is all about!!!!!
Thato same!
Thato, where's Plaino?
Kind of feels like the exact reason you're not supposed to be able to download RUclips videos or convert them.
That tone is impeccable.
I've been playing bass for 35+ years. You're better than me. I can't wait to see you'll be able to do in 5 or 10 years. Please keep it up!
The same over here. I am so ashame.
Hot damn I think that was the funkiest modern bass cover I've ever heard.
FOR REALS!!!!
bearded rider bruv peep Anthony Thundercat has put out, you wont be disappointed
Wow, you are way too funky. Love it!!
@Rob Logan 😆
I've seen your vids too sina. You girls are amazing!! Really though I'm a huge fan.
This is my go to version of this song, hits sooo hard
THIS BASSIST IS JUST NASTY! So fricking skilleeddd. Yes girl! We need more female bassists and guitarist🤘🏽
We need more TALENTED bassists. Sex isn't relevant. ✌
D G of course we need all talented bassists, but having women (who are underrepresented in the community) who play bass is so empowering for young girls and encourages more people to play !! Just trying to get an equal playing field y’all, it’s not a competition b/w men and women
@D G incel
@@franci1360 We should always provide equality of opportunities, I agree with you there. Equality of outcome will be there or not is another thing.
@@ModernGentleman Yeah, if they are good, they are needed!!
You go girl! My favorite Mac Miller song on the tiny desk concert,
On a $299 bass guitar and $100 interface she has some mad skills
Hello, can you please tell me what's the name of the guitar ?
@@xZoEvil It's a Musicman SUB bass. A great bass and excellent value for money, I believe the earlier ones were made in the USA, later ones in Indonesia, some of the differences between them and the Sterling or Stingray; the body is poplar instead of ash and has no body contours, a 2 band eq rather than 3 band and the neck is gloss painted. Not sure about the hardware or pickup, but I suspect budget versions/copies of those fitted to Ernie Ball models.
First 10 secs of the video and I hit the sub button!!! Also 2:35 - 2:45 you ripped the skin off my face! Just amazing
You gonna be alright😆😄

I've now watched this video 5 times. I'm still not ready for it.
I know you heard this a million times. I love the bass. You inspired me. My whole family were scared of the bass. I took some guitar lessons. Where can I start at. Nothing like the bass sound. Especially after so much I've been through in life. It's nothing like it.
I just came across this. Stunning playing from this young musician. What's extra special is the genuine reactions of joy and appreciation here. The performance feels effortless, finnessed and full of feeling and the audience response is purely positive and supportive. Good job everyone!!! Amazing job by this talented bassist!!!
Bandon Taylor, Wonderful post. It's more than just Julia's performance, the supportive and positive response is so nice to see.
Wish Mac was alive to see you play this did an amazing job!!
Edit:omg thank you guys so much for all the likes! It's all for Mac!
thundercat would be so proud
So would Mac!
*is. is so proud
shortly after 0:03 Persona 5 Last Surprise melody hits
Yes! Finally someone noticed! :D

Same :(
But there is hope, mac did great, and new people are coming in, like this local dude ruclips.net/video/fB9XtinYUtQ/видео.html support him if you can
Simply impressive.More than ten years ago, I quit my poor attempt of learning bass.Yesterday evening,I went to pick up a new set of strings to start again after watching some of your videos so...bardzo Ci dziękuję za odnowioną motywację!!.Great playing,thanks for sharing.Trzymaj się ciepło!
Julia, I am absolutely speechless 🙊. If you were any deeper in the groove, we would have to call a rescue team. Love it ❤️
😂🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆😄😄😄 After that fill I almost dialed 911....
Jeez, she's so good. I sat for an hour just to get that part between 2.36 and 2:44 right. Incredible.
PLAY IT BABY GIRL!!!! Grooviness on a high level!! Apologies to everyone in the McDonald's @ 2nd and Lehigh Ave who heard me suddenly scream like a little girl when this Boss Playa got back to the groove @ 2:44. Hit 'em in the mouth Lil' Mama...HARD!!!
I need you in my life
Tristan Armbrister i know right
Anyone noticed?
THATS UNCUT!
Just one camera angle and not like everyone else with cuts and close shots etc. That's dope and smooth af
I like her swag in this video. Groove on young lady.
Every time I watch this it blows me away....

This is LITERALLY the perfect cover, how tf can anyone dislike this 😫
jealousy!! this girl got it fr
Because they can't do it........
Probably one of the funkiest bass lines that also doesn’t get old.
For the 10th time🔥🔥🔥🔥never heard the song but watching her groove to this??? Old school funk licks. Amazing.
Your fills are the most incredible thing I have heard. Been playing bass for like 14 years and you could run laps around me. Keep it up!
Your amazinggggg!!!!....you inspire me so freaking much
Few things in this world are more joyous that watching you jam out to this.
Julia is all about the playing. Look at her simple setup: small screen, Audicity, no fancy high-end software, no smoke and mirrors. You can tell when simply enjoying the instrument/music is the core. Hats off to her.
This morning I woke up and tapped RUclips and this young genius was one of my choices to watch, I’m glad I did. I’ve been watching her for two hours. I’m going to be late for work.
I hope you never ever ever let anyone steal your joy. You are amazing. Really enjoy your channel. Keep on jammin girl!
This is the best video to bless my recommended page ever
I just got this recommended randomly and goddamn. You flipped the funk switch so hard. Well done!
Her playing is so infectious she inspires me to practice to get better.
Those👏fills👏are👏clean👏af👏
She’s the coolest, grooviest teen on the planet. And considering she hasn’t been playing that long, she’s talented a hell. Congrats Julia. 😘
Julia, I have probably pulled this up over three dozen times on full listen. Amazing bass skills. Thank you!

His live music has real instruments and sounds really good
Very underrated
There is no other like him
Mac Miller is really great. Swimming is a damn good album.
Swimming the album was unbelievably good, you should check him out.
By far one of my favourites of the man Mac Miller, always rap along this one, can't help myself, down right funky!
I listen to this version because i think the bass sounds better
I was talking about her cover if Forget Me Nots
Way better. :)
You should check out the Tiny Desk concert with Mac. It’s great.
I'm crying how beautiful you are playing the bass
David Medina i deadass cried too
@miTHexum Is it so hard to believe people can feel emotions listening to a beautiful cover of an artist that has tragically passed away at a young age? You the type of guy to be blaming people for tearing up while watching a good movie. Just because you don't have emotions doesn't mean other people don't have them either.
miTHexum well for me it’s not about the girl but more about Mac Miller. Idk if it’s the same for the other commenters but speaking for myself.
she really enjoys doing this
The lick at 3:57 helped me get my life together😂
One of the best comments on the internet! TY! #peace2u
It sounded like a drum lick! Ayyyyyy
LOL That was nasty
Most definitely!!
Lol!!!!!!
She is one of the greatest bass players I've ever seen.
Any cover that makes the original artist sound different in such a fabulous way, especially with those fills, is worthy of being up to par with the creator. Plus I got to hear a personal Mac favorite a different way. Thank you, Julia! Keep up the great work!
That head bop is killer....
Man, I'm 18 and I've been playing for only 4 years and your chops blow my god damn mind!
Years later. Never heard of Mac til her song. Now I've listened to every Mac album out there and the biggest fan. It's helped me more than you could ever know.
Great to see you are not afraid to tackle even the more technical grooves and lay them down so precisely
I love how besides the effortless and perfect execution, it shows how you enjoy it!
I'm so glad so many people of different preferences of genres can come together and enjoy a amazing cover of a mac miller song with a bass, This channel has the cooliest community
You're an amazing bassist who has not only technical skill but pure musicality. Your covers are always a pleasure to listen to and they inspired me to start playing bass myself. Been going at it for 2 weeks and I'm loving it.
Rest easy Mac. Julia this cover was what opened up his entire catalog to me. Felt it was appropriate for a re listen since today is the albums anniversary. Keep jammin
