    What an incredible way to teach and communicate do you have, Julia. You bring your own energy and at the same time it shows you know how to teach technique but you also transmit peace, security and conviction, in that way you remind me of someone we both admire so much, the master Victor Wooten.

  • @williamdavis5831
    @williamdavis5831 2 года назад +1

    I'm self taught (Hal Leonard). One thing I e noticed about "fixed points" as you pointed out, I do all those things you mentioned. I practice daily both sitting and standing (you must practice in both positions). I've noticed that when standing I tend to use the inside of my upper forearm as my point of contact. I still put my thumb on the pickup out of habit. But with the forearm you get an awareness of the entire instrument. A slight conter pressure against the body of the bass affects everything from fretting notes to awareness of where the strings are and accuracy in striking them. Good point!

    Thank you for this video. I’m a guitarist of 20 years almost (I’m 34) …I’m learning bass out of necessity because we have too many guitarists . I want to learn instantly and I know that isn’t realistic. Just the small encouragement to not get frustrated is actually nice. Thanks!

  • @FrederickTSchurgerDC
    @FrederickTSchurgerDC 4 года назад +2

    Great intro tutorial. What I would like to see in the future is something that helps us put together a funky slap groove that just sits on its own. When you had Marcus Miller out for that workshop, he helped create a groove that was so on point that even when he stopped you still felt all of the beat, anticipating the next pop/slap he'd do. I think this is the missing skill a lot of us are searching for as we incorporate more slap.
    Also, how about you & Lee Sklar do a zoom?!?!
