    Be careful with your Subscription. If you go down this path, all the originial songs will feel so empty without Julia playing the groove. She always adds a new touch and notion to the songs she covers. You can't go back to the originals once you are into her videos.
    Keep on doing what you do, Julia - your feeling for the music is very special and your bassplaying is beyond insanity. Your videos energize me to keep playing and improving the bass although I'm suffering from a decay in my technique because of multiple sclerosis.

Just never stop playing, you got it and it's very inspiring to see someone become that good through hard work and commitment. Respect!

      @bari1348 3 года назад +52

      Yes, but someone as skilled as Julia can benefit from learning music theory. I am convinced that as creative as she is, as she drills down into music theory and its complexities, she can only improve, to be able to play with anyone in any genre. Plus music school will teach her how to play in a group, which I suspect she has not had a lot of. Any long time band member can tell you that playing in the band or orchestra is a whole different thing. And when she gets hired as a session musician, she has to read those notes, that chart, and try to get it right the first time, because studio time is money. I have no doubt that she will become one of the world's great session musicians when she's out of school. If she is lucky enough to become a famous musician, well Amen Sister! If not, she will have all the work she can handle by knowing all the fundamentals of music.

      @@bari1348 @Bari I think you're a little dazed about the modern recording music industry. It only costs money in the studio if you're a hiphop kid, and then thats the business model in itself. Most professional recordings can be done with a laptop, mixer, preamp. Especially for a bass input.
      Studio time being charged for became obsolete with the invention of digital music, you aren't throwing away tape for bad takes. Studios upcharge because you can do it in your bedroom, as you've noticed by amateur Julia, or now-professional Finneas brother of Billie Eilish, how impactful that can actually be.

    Is the Kingdom Hearts shirt a reference to Billie wearing an outfit with the Heartless sigil on it this era?

    @juliaplaysgroove amazing!!!
    incredible dry and clean sound in this Sterling, in addition to the unique performance with a really cool pizzicato at the end of the song!
    amazing like all of your videos.

    This has got to be the shortest bass I've ever seen you play lol

      I think just the body is larger, which makes it look short

      Nah guys it's because this is a short-scale bass and therefore the neck is shorter
