Most bass channels make me want to toss the bass and just walk away. Julia makes me want to pick it up and play! Some show you how good they are; Julia shows you how good you can be. Thanks for being my inspiration!
For me Julia is the living proof that small people aren't limited to playing a shortscale bass. If you can feel the groove, it's just a matter of patience and practice. Never compromise on scale length, especially if you are playing below D standard.
I’m 42 and been playing bass since I was 12 and never have been able to read music or tabs. Never tried actually. Learned by ear as a kid then once I realized I’m actually good at this, I purposely taught myself the Nashville number system. I realized to make money playing I had too. I was a 18 year old kid doing session work and these seasoned musicians was handing me charts. Years later, I love watching people read charts. I do everything based on feel so I appreciate the art of reading.
Starting the day with Julia playing the bass is always good. What's really hard in My Girl is to resist the temptation of playing the guitar melody. Such level of control is not for beginners. 😁
Hey Julia, I am Rodrigo from Brazil. I used to play bass my entire life. I left the practice 5 years ago, and now I don't know how I do to restart. I am 45 years old now, and I am feeling afraid to come back. I don't feel myself confident enough, especially with right hand performance (ghost notes, slapping, groove). I would like to receive an advise from you. I think you are one of the best bass player that I've already saw. All the best.
Just got my new bass a few weeks ago..Following my instructors advice to learn to play as many easy songs as possible..Great to have found your channel and this starting point..FOO FIGHTERS,My Girl...Exactly the starting point I wanted and needed..subscribed but know won't be able to look at any other videos on this channel for several weeks at least..But wanted to say thanks for the up start..hoping you do more on the channel for newbies like me..with songs to learn to play along to..Thank you..!🙏
We used to play 'My Girl' in our garage band in the 60's. Never knew my friend Bob could sing and had friend JV on bass. I just picked up a new Squire mini-bass and Behringer BXL1800 amp. Love the deep bass it gives.
you're such a down to earth musician, humble, sweet and not arrogant like others. Respect for you and the bass stuff that you do, greetings from Amsterdam NL
That first track was my favorite bass line . The tab didn't show it but I really enjoyed all those sneaky ghost notes . Completely changed the dynamics of not only the bass line but also song I general .
OH NO!!!! I know this was a beginners video but i know there is this cool bass slap section right between some notes in the Bruno Mars song. I was hoping you would show us how it's done. :) Great video.
The FOO!!!!!!!🤘🏽this video is a real temptation, don’t believe me just watch. Aye aye Aaaaaha full moon funk gonna give to ya … wait what,upmoon funk, no towns on the moon yet to funk up just a series of lava tubes like a meerkat burrow but we still need the Funk 🤘🏽.
I really loved the music below .. with the songs being simple it made it easy to follow .. Gr8 for encouraging people to learn to read . If you get the chance sometime could you do " hit me with your rhythm stick " by " Ian Drury & the Blockheads " Not an easy one But one of my all time fave bass lines. stay cool.stay safe
Can someone explain the monitors in the ears is Julia just listening to the song through then and bass is being mic into daw. Ive see a few people doing this and love to understand the concept of whats going on im new to bass. Thank you for the lessons
Don't agree. I've got one, and even the 2nd hand shop where I bought it didn't know what colour it was, so they wrote green. I hate the sight of the thing, and bought a metallic red one just to get the opposite effect.
Am I crazy or the rest after the root is also a muted note? That would the "and" after the C in the first bar (and the same in the second, etc. I hear the muted note but the music only shows a rest. Maybe as a guitar player I just hear notes where they ain't.
hello Julia I saw this video of 3 bass lines for beginners and I loved it since I am a beginner and I have a Squier of the same color (charcoal) but it is a Jazz Bass, that bass you are using was calibrated before you used it or did you use it as How did it come? Do you recommend I take it to a luthier?
Great :-) Thanks. It would have been interesting to compare the slap version of the last one (because I'm a beginner who is wondering about branching out to try slap bass).
Very nice, and thank you so much. One critique though, the tabs are not running in line with the music, but are lagging behind. Perhaps a minor technical problem that could easily be fixed? Thanks a lot for this and all of your work!
Awesome choices Julia. I highly recommend the song called Big News I by the band Clutch for anyone wanting to start learning bass - it's an awesome bass line and super fun to play!
i love it how they use cheap basses for those beginner vids, they dont wanna make you buy some expensive gear cause cheap stuff has gotten way better nowadays
I'm just a beginner bassist, but I would say it's easier to learn on electric, because you need less finger strength with plucking and fretting and you can always use a headphone to practice, unlike the acoustic which is way louder than a classical guitar. You don't even need to buy an amp to practice, some headphones come with built-in amps, or you can use an amplug, and connect your own headphones.
I like how you used a Squire so as not to intimidate us rookies. 😉 And is it me, people, or does she look a lot like Sheryl Crow? And a little Karen Carpenter? 👍👍
Hi Julia, how are you? I hope well. I saw your video and I get excited that an expert like you will interpret with an economical low as that is a precision and is that I have an identical jazz and I would like a person from your level to give me your opinion of that a lot precise much health for you your admirer from 🇵🇦panama.

...and I thank YOU for that great endorsement. New sub here!
You are SO right!!! :-D
Is it because they're playing stuff that you find too high for your skill level
@@musenw8834 bro ALL the tutorials are too high for my skill level...
Its a good day when the Goddess of the Bass drops a video.

Outline the chords..
Bass 101 .. Definitely beginner bass ..
Thanks man, I was just kidding.
@@PastelComGini 😮
I should have realized that from the 😁 !! Sorry!
@@shipsahoy1793 No problem, man
Julia is so pretty 😍

Perfect weekend! Bass and Julia! :-) Have a fantastic weekend everyone!
You sure are simple to learn unlike other millions out there. Again thank you.
Julia - All I can say is - WOW! You are awesome and fun…. Thank you so much…

Great song suggestions! Looking forward to sharing with my students.
Love the temptations one, easy and nice and relaxing.
Wow outstanding. Maybe walking on the moon next.
You're playing my bass! I bought it yesterday! This means I made the right choice. Even the colours are the same!

Most comments focus on your playing; but I >love< your voice. I could listen to you lecture on particle physics for hours on end.
That first track was my favorite bass line . The tab didn't show it but I really enjoyed all those sneaky ghost notes . Completely changed the dynamics of not only the bass line but also song I general .
Love easy approaches to bass like this!!!!
I just bought my very first bass guitar a few eeks ago, learning a lot from her. Thanks Julia!
Nice songs, nice prof. Thank you for sharing.
Great bass lines for beginners👏🏼
Thank you SO much - gonna learn Foo Fighters and Uptown now !!! Thanks from Copenhagen!!!
Love your bass playing Julia! Such tight solid feel! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👊🏻
thanks for adding the tabs
At last video with Tab 👌 it does make a difference for people to learn 👍
Muito bom, ganhou um fã baixista do Brasilll
Your Uptown Funk sounds better plucked than slapped! Amazing 🤩
I love it when the lessons come with the bass tabs, haha.
i am in love with this channel
what a beautiful bass your playing ---DANKE
Great line on Learn to fly
You are superbad girl and I love learning from you ❤
I would like to add two more to the list. Gloria by Them, and Baby Please Don't Go, also by Them
Nice, danke Julia du hast mir ein song gezeigt denn ich davor nicht kannte und der mir auf Anhieb gefallen hat. Sowas ist Goldwert
Love watching you play, songs 1and 2 rang my bell... Julia 💙👊😎
Soooo fun
OH NO!!!! I know this was a beginners video but i know there is this cool bass slap section right between some notes in the Bruno Mars song. I was hoping you would show us how it's done. :) Great video.
Hi great video, crisp playing. do you have the sheet music to go with it. Cheers
Cool! Glad I found you! I'm just starting out on bass!
Hi, you're excellent on bass.Could you please put more simple beginner riffs as I've only started a few weeks ago,
Thanks.
I think I have something fun for my tuba players to try too! Thanks
Es sind definitiv zu wenig Videos von Dir, man kann jedesmal etwas lernen und daher würde ich mir 2 Videos pro Woche wünschen.
Can you do more easy bass music this is perfect
I love those grooves, music for my ears. Great bass sound!!
Plz consider bassline for “Hard Rock Lover” by Mothers Finest. Funkiest song with picked bass ever. Love the content.
Julia, could you please also do a top 5 of Carol Colman (Kid Creole And The Coconuts), Janice-Marie Johnson (A Taste Of Honey) and Esperanza Spalding?
I wanne merry U!!! But the Bass plays the guitar lines of my girl in the seconds part too, babe!
Sweet vibes
Nice selection of songs, thanks!
Excellent how do you remember them all?
thanks for the lesson i enjoiyed it alot
The FOO!!!!!!!🤘🏽this video is a real temptation, don’t believe me just watch.
Aye aye Aaaaaha full moon funk gonna give to ya … wait what,upmoon funk, no towns on the moon yet to funk up just a series of lava tubes like a meerkat burrow but we still need the Funk 🤘🏽.

Great video! Im ready to get my first bass
I definetely love you
They should build more grey basses.
Definitely, more Grey Basses would be nice
Don't agree. I've got one, and even the 2nd hand shop where I bought it didn't know what colour it was, so they wrote green. I hate the sight of the thing, and bought a metallic red one just to get the opposite effect.
Excuse me for asking. Which brand and model is the blue p bass on the left? Thank you
I love ❤️ it
Inspiring. She is good, I like her. 🤘😁🤘🎸
Am I crazy or the rest after the root is also a muted note? That would the "and" after the C in the first bar (and the same in the second, etc. I hear the muted note but the music only shows a rest. Maybe as a guitar player I just hear notes where they ain't.
hi, are you using an octaver effect on the bass?
but I really love your channel! 🙂
Very nice!! Excellent job, thanks 🙏
Hi Julia, excuse me, how did you get the action of that Squier bass low, medium low or high?
Great ! More of that !
Danke!
Bruno's bass player lays down some thick, fat, juicy basslines. Your tone was just as wonderful. What were your pickup settings?
Thanks darling 💘
hello Julia I saw this video of 3 bass lines for beginners and I loved it since I am a beginner and I have a Squier of the same color (charcoal) but it is a Jazz Bass, that bass you are using was calibrated before you used it or did you use it as How did it come? Do you recommend I take it to a luthier?
What tuning key are you using?
how are these lessons? i can't figure out what you are doing with your left (screen right) hand
Hi, when will Thomann list the new Sire Bass model with roasted neck?
Thanks!
Great :-) Thanks. It would have been interesting to compare the slap version of the last one (because I'm a beginner who is wondering about branching out to try slap bass).
🤔 she did a vid on slap bass technique though
Very nice, and thank you so much. One critique though, the tabs are not running in line with the music, but are lagging behind. Perhaps a minor technical problem that could easily be fixed?
Thanks a lot for this and all of your work!
Awesome choices Julia. I highly recommend the song called Big News I by the band Clutch for anyone wanting to start learning bass - it's an awesome bass line and super fun to play!
Muito bom gostei 👍
Julia (or anyone in the comments), is the actual song playing through your IEMs while you play?
Girl on bass 😍😍😍😍😍
Good video makes me want a new Bass 🤣
Hey Julia... the 3rd song... hahaha... I don't think that's beginners stuff............
I am more into rock so I will start with the foo fighters baseline
Great!!
i love it how they use cheap basses for those beginner vids, they dont wanna make you buy some expensive gear cause cheap stuff has gotten way better nowadays
High and Dry by Radiohead is a good song if you're REALLY a beginner. I tought this song to a couple of people who didn't play an instrument at all.
Muito bom! Excelente trabalho! Sugiro a música "Confisco" do Charlie Brown Jr! Thanks!
Hello , is a acoustic bass good enough to learn bass play?
I'm just a beginner bassist, but I would say it's easier to learn on electric, because you need less finger strength with plucking and fretting and you can always use a headphone to practice, unlike the acoustic which is way louder than a classical guitar. You don't even need to buy an amp to practice, some headphones come with built-in amps, or you can use an amplug, and connect your own headphones.
Show more songs also show the frets you finger location and notes your are playing lowly
I like how you used a Squire so as not to intimidate us rookies. 😉
And is it me, people, or does she look a lot like Sheryl Crow? And a little Karen Carpenter? 👍👍
Is there anything you can show us
The kids aren't alright was my first song
Hi Julia, how are you? I hope well. I saw your video and I get excited that an expert like you will interpret with an economical low as that is a precision and is that I have an identical jazz and I would like a person from your level to give me your opinion of that a lot precise much health for you your admirer from 🇵🇦panama.
I'm legitimately surprised Another One Bites The Dust wasn't on the list
Yep up town funk
Noticed you were playing ghost notes on “My Girl” but they’re not on the sheet. Otherwise a good video.
