Awesome video. As I get older, I’ve really come to appreciate the importance of warming up to prevent injury! Helps with the quality of the playing, too ;)
Das sind echt die besten Werbevideos für ein Unternehmen, die ich kenne - und die ganze Belegschaft hat Talent!! 🙂 Ich hab nach ein paar Videos meine bassspielende Nicht hergeschickt, die vergangenes Jahr auch mit den Bass begonnen hat - nach Klampfe und Keys.
Very meditative in a Sunn O))) kind of way. Strangely one of the most enjoyable episodes I have caught. Could probably enjoy a whole solo performance by Julia along these lines: one note played well.
Great to watch Julia. I know you are also an athlete and athletes always warm up before endeavoring in their sport. The more accomplished they are in their sport, the longer they warm up . Most people would be exhausted just doing a professional athletes warm up ( if they could even get through it) 😊 Also with your injury it is even more important that you warm up your wrists and fingers. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with family and those that you love . Merry Christmas and double hand waves 😊
This is great! I'm thinking of learning bass next year, so I'm bookmarking this one. As a pianist I also think the pre-playing warm-ups are a great idea for piano as well, and probably many other instruments. Thanks :)
Every time you see pros effortlessly play something, it's worth reminding yourself, that behind every three minutes of play, there are ten minutes of warm-up 💪
I am a pretty realistic person when it comes to estimating my skill but still realizing that I can't play eight notes that accuratly made me a bit mad. But thanks for the awesome exercises. Really useful!
Hi! First of all, thanks for the great videos, it's always really helpful to watch them :) As a bass rookie, I find quite often overwhelming the amount of variations you can apply to each exercise (for instance, with scales, starting in a different position, different key, going by thirds, by sixths, practice all the modes, etc.). Is there any advice you would give to keep the everyday warm up "short" without getting stuck with the same patterns? Thanks and happy holidays! 🎄🎄
Honestly I'd say you don't really ~need~ to cover all that stuff, unless you're a professional musician, in which case your everyday practice isn't going to be short! (I'm assuming you mean practice really - a warmup is just about getting your body loosened up before you do the real exercises. So it doesn't matter so much what you're doing for that bit, as long as you're stretching, moving your fingers, and building up speed while keeping things accurate) Personally for your actual practice, I'd recommend focusing on a few things you want to work on. Like for scale patterns, there are a lot of them! What Julia's doing here is a specific thing - playing all the modes based off the C major scale, but shifting up the A string for each one, so she's playing a box pattern that fits each mode. Another way you ~could~ do this is to play the exact same pattern as that first C Ionian part, staying in the 3rd position (1st finger covering the 3rd fret) and starting on a later note in the pattern. But she's chosen a different variation this time. Another time, it could be a different way! You don't need to drill them all at once (some people feel the need to do that though) As you play you'll probably notice stuff you struggle with (especially if you're trying to play a variety of music) so you can incorporate that into your practice routine. Are octaves giving you trouble? Work on those! High-speed gallop picking? Find a speed you can handle and push yourself to improve. Struggling with the fretboard? Do an exercise where you have to bounce around the neck (the one where you follow the circle of 5ths on each string is good). Lacking dexterity? Find a good stretching exercise. You can't do everything at once, but you don't need to - certain kinds of exercises will bring more general benefits, and you can mix them up to keep in interesting and push yourself in new and different ways. Just make sure you use a metronome, and try to keep track of the exercises you do and your progress! It's great to see a definite improvement, and it'll help you decide what you need to work on next
Great video thanks for sharing those exercises. I think I've played with a few drummer who sped up like the metronome :-) Also what app were you using? I've not seen one that can be programmed to increase speed like that.
Hey Julia, VERY interesting and helpful video, thanks for that! The "building up speed with the metronom"-part left me wondering, is there a specific reason why you're starting with and increasing by an odd number?
it makes fun doing these exercises. after playing every note I personally pull my frettinghand's fingers away too far from the guitar neck. How can one exercise holding their finger at one place?
Great Video! For daily routine it would be great to have a version of the video without the talking, just the warm ups with click and Bass. Would be awesome, if you could upload it as a second version.
#Julia also has #UnicycleSkillz You can just play some #FUNK to warm up your body that is a lot more fun...that isn't as boring as just stretching. HaHa. #SlapBass
I was happy that I was able to play eighth notes at 188bpm, anything above and my playing was getting sloppy. Then I realised I had the video playing at 0.9x speed because I was practicing a song before and forgot to change it back... 🥲
The right hand speed and stamina is crazy. Even Julia's warm-up is impressive.
Awesome video. As I get older, I’ve really come to appreciate the importance of warming up to prevent injury! Helps with the quality of the playing, too ;)
I can’t learn through a teacher due to the price so I have stuck to learning through RUclips I’m grateful this channel exists
check Bassbuzz as well, it's great for beginers :-)
Accuracy first; speed will follow. Thank you Julia! :)
Truth. Everyone seems to want to run before walking...
Wow! This is awesome! Every bassist should know to count like that.
We love you. Thank you! 😄🧡

You're a precious gift.
I'm a beginner and your teaching brings me light
Great Teacher! Thanks from Brazil!
As always Julia your instructions are excellently given! Thank you baby❤
Good to see you Julia & thank you & yes it's way too easy to forget the important rudiments.
Great video, Julia. That takes stamina to play 16ths that long, and that fast. 👏🏻
Julia looks so so great!!! ❤
Dood. I'd follow Julia to the end of the earth if she told me it would help...this woman, I tells yah. She knows what's up. Phenomenally, Phenomenal
Very meditative in a Sunn O))) kind of way. Strangely one of the most enjoyable episodes I have caught. Could probably enjoy a whole solo performance by Julia along these lines: one note played well.
Thanks for doing this more or less in realtime and with a clock! Very helpful
This is awesome. its always a great day when Julia drops a video. Can a brother get an autograph?
Thank you really helpful to me❤
Thank you Julia, always a pleasure to watch your helpful and entertaining videos 😊
Always a pleasure. Thanks Julia
Thank you Julia for this precious advices.
That is the best exercise for beginners bass players . Thanks for help .
Julia Hofer! Christmas has come early!
Thank you. You've been amazing person to start learning with.
Thank you Julia for your work routine. Can you give me the name of the metronome application?
This helps! Thank you for the video!
Julia is awesome

Very helpful. Best warm up I’ve seen. Thank you.
I saw the pineapple when you flashed it on the splash screen. Thank you. ❤
Playing is a way of life!!!
thank you a lot!! that helped me so much
Thank you Julia !
❤ buona sera Julia, grazie per le informazioni. È sempre un piacere vederti e ascoltarti, ti trovo in forma. Buon Natale e felice anno nuovo ❤.
Thanks a lot Julia, Cheers!
Love this heating exercise, will surely try it. Thanks you are great!
I have a lot to learn. 👍
very useful !
Hi!
Which app you use for metronome?
Danke Dir! Das Aufwärmen wird leider oft vernachlässigt (auch von mir!) Gut, daran erinnert zu werden! Have a nice weekend, Julia!
Every time you see pros effortlessly play something, it's worth reminding yourself, that behind every three minutes of play, there are ten minutes of warm-up 💪
Bollocks!
@@NeungView 🤣
Julia should talk about how she always closes her eyes and becomes one with the music and her playing…
❤from srilanka 🇱🇰

I was wondering what strings you have on your bass? They look like Thomastik Flatwounds with the red windings. Thank you Julia! 😎

Which metronome do you use for the speedrun?
Gostei muito ❤
Hey Julia, VERY interesting and helpful video, thanks for that! The "building up speed with the metronom"-part left me wondering, is there a specific reason why you're starting with and increasing by an odd number?
❤❤❤❤❤
Music is what feelings sound like?
What's the metronome app you use?
Metronome beats. I had the same question and checked the comments first, then the Play store and it was the 1st result.
Which apps and software are used for the metronome and music notation? Thanks as always!!
Hei Julia, what metronom App are you using in this video? It changes automatically the bpms? Nice feature
Metronome Beats app will let you do this.
it makes fun doing these exercises. after playing every note I personally pull my frettinghand's fingers away too far from the guitar neck. How can one exercise holding their finger at one place?
Does anyone know what metronome app it is in the video, that can be set to increase speed periodically?
Thanks , I just drink cold beer .
what metronome are you using
I believe its the app "Metronome Beats" ;)
after all that we have to circle ankles :)
🤘🍻🤘
Great Video! For daily routine it would be great to have a version of the video without the talking, just the warm ups with click and Bass. Would be awesome, if you could upload it as a second version.
💙👊😎
I do something similar
¿Qué aplicación de metrónomo usas?
Just try to play Vulfpeck - Dean Town, start slow and try to get faster, it's the same :D (for eight note exercise)
This is yoga for bassists.
Could not find you
#Julia also has #UnicycleSkillz You can just play some #FUNK to warm up your body that is a lot more fun...that isn't as boring as just stretching. HaHa. #SlapBass
ICP
I swear you look like Angela Petrilli.
A very serious Julia 😐
After 25 years of professionally playing it looks like I need surgery in both of my wrist. : (
Please fix the title. The instrument is an electric bass (the electric alternative to a double bass / violin family) and not a guitar.
I was happy that I was able to play eighth notes at 188bpm, anything above and my playing was getting sloppy.
Then I realised I had the video playing at 0.9x speed because I was practicing a song before and forgot to change it back... 🥲
