We need more Julia on the channel. Her breakdown of Le Freak was awesome.
Agreed! Julia Rules!
Julia is awesome!

Apart from being a really good bassist, Julia is just lovely and her videos bring a smile to this old man.
Absolutely!! Thanks for sharing
Julia and Warren in one video? I mean… could it get any better? 🙌🤩 Cheers you two, I really enjoyed the video!
//Kris
Yay! Thanks ever so much! Yes, Julia is amazing
🍍🍍🍍
@@PooNinja marvellous!
Julia is awesome! Glad she was able to overcome adversity and be an inspiration for so many!
Julie is great! We're so glad too. For her to be involved with our videos is an honour.
Hi Warren what a talent Julia is, an absolute breath of fresh air always up beat. Great channel as always. Thanks 🙏
Thank you, Stevie!
I love her playing and analysis. I’m not surprised Julia is Thoman’s top star…however Julia, please do a review of Norman Watt-Roy
Injuries are important to talk about. I think musicians try to hide injuries for fear of losing work and being labeled "a horse with a broken leg". I have struggled since my teen years with soft tissue injuries and it has been quite a struggle. I just saw my neurologist today about my cubital tunnel ulnar nerve entrapment. Troublesome for a guitarist. A touch of carpal tunnel and golfers elbow thrown in. Alexander technique is helpful for finding a way to live with these things. My doctor has advised me against surgery if at all possible, so finding a way forward is the challenge. One thing that helps is warming up before getting the instrument out. The Biokinetix WOW is great for this.
Best of luck to both of you for your recovery. --- Aaron
She is my favorite bass player! Not only is she an accomplished bass player. I love her smile and enthusiasm when she plays! As a drummer, it would be amazing to get to play some music with her!
Absolutely!
Two people, I like a lot. Julia‘s videos for Thomann are great and people love them, because they show how deeply satisfying it is to play an instrument, not about selling gear.
Glad you like them! Thanks Dirk!
Two of my favorite YTers: each an ELK (Enthusiastic, Likeable, Knowledgeable).
Thanks ever so much Andrew! I really appreciate it! Yes, Julia Rules!!
Julia is amazing! One of several female bassists who have re-inspired my playing - especially the fluidity of their fretting. I am re-training myself to move my hand rather than relying on the span of my large hands.
Best wishes for your recovery. I'm very glad that after surgery for a crushed leg I was patient and followed doctor's and physio's orders rather than risking causing further harm.
I LOVE LOVE Julia!! Such a talent!! Beautiful in every way!!
I've always been a big fan of the bass guitar and for me it is much more than the instrument given to whoever was the worst guitar player in the group.
I've seen some of the videos Julia has done on great bass players, and the parts played by the likes of Verdine White and Louis Johnson for instance are not only integral to the songs but a major part of what makes them great.
One of the many qualities that made Earth Wind and Fire such a great band was the interplay between Verdine, his brother Fred on drums and Al McKay - surely one of the most dynamic Rhythm Guitar players ever.
I'm very glad people like Julia are publisizing this great instrument and what can be achieved through imagination, creativity and great playing.
Which is what it's all about - at the end of the day.
Just discovered Julia - and I’m glad I did!!
I'm a drummer. Right-handed. I tore the Scaphoid Lunate ligament in my left wrist, over a two-three week period. Initially had a repair done which, unfortunately, failed. Hence, in August of last year I underwent a partial Four Corner Arhrodesis with a Scaphoidectomy. I'm recovering. Well past Physical Therapy and performing home PT program they gave me. It takes one to one and one-half a year to fully recover from the surgery I had.
I'm fine. Working full time since early October. Was able to start on a practice pad about a month ago. Due to the surgery I can, primarily, only play traditional grip with my left hand.
I only share this since I emphatize with other musicians who are or have been injured. I've found patience, a plan, and persistence trumps everything else. As she mentioned, take it slowly, be patient with yourself, and believe you'll make it back... you will.
I wish both of you a full recovery.
I saw Julia on the Thumbnail and thought "oh, another Thomann vid, mkay". It was only when I started the video and the PLAP intro theme came on that I realised the collab! Keep on and get well, soon!
Thanks ever so much
Great chat, thank you, Julia and Warren. I really enjoyed. I like to watch Julia's videos a lot.
Julia, my favourite austrian female bass player! :)
Here a follower.
Loved the bass line in most of ABBA old songs, specially "One of us", but my all time favourite would be "Broken wings" from Mr.Mister not for the tech skills but for the sound.
Thanks for sharing
Sliced open my left (fretting hand) almost a year ago. Severed tendons to thumb, but doctor was able to reattach them. I can play again, thankfully, but there is tightness and stamina plays a larger factor. Hopefully this info can help!
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
This is good for people to learn and share about. As hard as things can be, we generally still try to do what we're naturally inclined to do, and work around what we have to work around to make things happen. There is extra joy and so many new ways that come into play of feeling like our old selves again with interesting different and new attributes we never guessed we could have. ❤️❤️✨☀️
great interview. keep up the good work Julia and Warren.
Another crossover of my TH-cam faves! ❤️❤️❤️
I walked through a glass door this past summer and severed all the tendons on my plucking hand, had to go through months of OT just to move my fingers again. I can relate to wanting to play immediately after, in fact my desire to play was never higher because I didn't know at the time if I would ever recover my dexterity. It is a huge mind game for musicians who injure their hands, going form playing hours every day to not plying at all while not knowing IF you will ever play again. THAT was the worst, the anxiety of not knowing if I would ever get back to my former abilities. I was lucky and 8 months later I can now play as if it never happened. You have to WORK to come back, I put so much effor tinto my OT with one burning desire...just to play my bass again.
Julia is the best!
This video about playing while injured brings back some memories, some good, some bad. The one that is most vivid is playing with my right arm and both legs in full casts. It was difficult to play sitting and balancing was difficult standing so the only thing that worked for me was leaning against the wall. I had to do this for so long, it became habit. When anyone asked what I was doing, my bandmates would say "he's doing what he does best, he's holding up the wall."
Awesome! Julia!! She's quickly becoming a bass It Girl.
She is!
Yes! Julia Rules!
Man all the you tubers I love end up on your show. Julia is soooo cool especially when she plays ABBA.
Warren still class as ever. Great stuff thanks again
Thanks ever so much!
Great video. What a wonderful person, Julia is. Man can Julia play the bass or what!!!!
Agreed! Julia is a wonderful bass player
I have had a tennis elbow and a tendon rupture in the fretting hand elbow since last April. In the first 9 months I wasn't able to play at all. I tried it couple of times but after few days it was impossible to do anything with the hand. Then one doctor suggested me to try doing careful exercices with NSD powerball and it has really helped (unlike the rubber band training that I was doing before). Now I'm able play multiple hours on most days. Although I still need to remind myself to take it easy and to do all vibratos and as many bends as possible with the whammy bar. I guess I need a guitar with Floyd Rose now...
We all need to remind ourselves to take it easy.
Awsome interview! Loved it.
Thanks for the interview with the great Julia and I hope your hand recovers soon. Javier from Madrid Spain
Thanks ever so much
I was in a car accident when I was 20 years old that crushed every bone in my face, among other injuries. That I even survived it was amazing. At the time I was a student in music school and playing saxophone and keys in a band. Obviously I couldn’t play my horns since my jaw was wired shut for over 2 months. When I was able to just even put the mouthpiece in my mouth again it felt totally different than before the injury. I had lost feeling in parts of my mouth from nerve damage and my teeth were actually in a different alignment due to all the reconstructive surgery in my face. It took me a year to get back to being comfortable with my embrasure and get the same tone as I had before the injuries. I couldn’t play keyboards since I had a cast from my left foot all the way up to my hip to stabilize it after the orthopedic reattachment of my foot so I wasn’t able to get to my keyboard that were in our rehearsal space and I was pretty much functionally immobile for a few months. My car had a standard transmission and I couldn’t use my “clutch foot”. (I later learned to use one of my crutches to work the clutch. I had to use crutches for nearly a year after the cast was completely removed). I practiced reading charts with my alto sax just fingering the notes, (I didn’t even bother putting the neck on). The band I was in had the interest of three A&R people from major labels but my band mates wouldn’t sign anything without me, as one of the A&R guys suggested. For one thing, they believed that my writing and arranging were integral to our sound secondly we had become great friends during the first two years that we had been working together. Score one for loyalty right? Warren, I hope you’re healing well and will soon be back to “original condition”!
Thanks ever so much for sharing your experience Jeff! I really appreciate it! My hand is much better thank you, only stretches seem to hurt.
This was awesome!
Love Julia.
Great video🤘 love her🎸
Julia is awesome!
Yes! Julia is wonderful
Julia is amazing, thank you for this great episode and tips! We hope to see more from her on the channel! 😎 My favorite Bass line will be forever the Intro of Ace Of Spades, what can I do? :D
Thanks for sharing Ady!
Cellist turned bassists raise your hands! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Nice!!
Thanks for sharing, it is so hard to hurt your hands when you play an instrument so I really hope you get well soon. A year or so back I started to develop a strange pain in my left hand (chord hand) thumb tendon and after searching the internet I believe it is De Quervains syndrom I have. Barre chords is a nono today but open G tuning works pretty ok if I take it easy and don´t overdo it/play to much. Not sure if it ever go away but I`m old so I´ve done my share of playing but it still sucks you can`t decide for your self when it is time to stop.
She's fantastic. A bit confused though, she keeps referring to her left hand, pointing to her left hand, but in all the photos, she's got a cast on her right hand.
Great interview! Just a quick note! Iron maiden's bass player Steve Harris uses only two fingers. His ring finger moves along with the middle one giving the impression of three-finger technique. He is an amazing player and songwriter.
Players I know actually use three-finger technique are Billy Sheehan, Steve Bailey and John Myung from Dream theater. Add more names, if you like, these are the first to cross my mind...
James Jameson from The Funk Brothers ( who played on the majority of all the hit recordings from Motown Records) played with one finger they called it " The Hook"!
Great interview, thanks Warren. I've become a big Julia fan, I love to watch her especially when she plays funk basslines - she's so on the note and in the pocket and you can see the passion and enjoyment in her face. The pics of her playing with her wrist in a cask baffled me though - it appears to be her right arm not her left?
*_JULIA!!_*
YES!!
Damn. Sorry about the accident. Bones and ligaments together is not good, hoping for a speedy and straightforward recovery.
Thanks Drew, I'm much better since we've filmed this!
Wow ! so sorry to hear this ....Really hope that you are not permanently get well soon ....!
Really enjoyable video Warren and Julia, thanks for making this. Julia is utterly charming and such a talented bassist, I've watched most of her thomann videos and her shear joy of playing is infectious. Thomann is always my first choice for gear as they always had what I wanted in stock and at great prices but Brexit has kinda messed that up with the import tax.
Love this collabo.:)
Thanks ever so much!
Love Julia!!! Wait, she's not 23 anymore? Wow!
Hahaha... wait, I'm not either? How did that happen?
Since he is back in vogue I am surprised Gary Numan doesn't get more credit for helping launch Palidino career. It was Music for Chameleons (1982) that was the reason Paul Young used him for Where Ever I Lay My Hat (1983)
Julia is great teacher - Her Earth Wind and Fire demos were great and showing Verdine White's simple lines really underpin the rhythm section.
She is a great teacher! 🍍🍍
There’s a great video of her playing bass while riding a unicycle.
Yes! Indeed!
Hi Julia! I love your playing! (And Sandberg basses. :D)
Julia is a wonderful musician
I'm a bass player of 30years who plays jazz guitar possibly well, but I drive a truck for a living and I got carpultunnel syndrome from driving 10 to 11 hours per day. Guitar isn't an option for me anymore due to my injury from work, but playing fretless bass doesn't bother me because of the longer scale length of a bass and the deeper octave that rarely works well with chords makes bass my oy choice, but it's my first musical love. I'm thankful for that. I'm curious though, starting out as a cellist with a scale length petwween both guitar and bass scale lengths how one decides which direction to go, though I'd imagine that bass would seem more natural as they voice similarly and both aren't very chord oriented. I hope your hand healed well and that you're playing well again. I love Julia. Her playing is so very perfect, even of a bit robotic. She's lightyear beyond me at half my age.
Love the hair Warren😆
❤️
Thanks ever so much
6:00 - talk about versatile?!
first time I saw Pino Palladino he was in Depeche Mode’s band! Was a great gig… Manchester UK
Incredible player
Sensacional
Thanks very much!
This was very inspiring! I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand going on 3 years now.
Don't know if either of you have any tips for dealing with that? I've not been playing nearly as much as I'd like because I get tingling, numbness and pain. Would love to hear any thoughts on dealing with that if you have any suggestions.
Great episode Warren and Julia! Gives me hope that I can recover from injury.
So sorry to hear that Karen! Thanks for sharing your experience, I hope there is some info out there can properly help!
Pino played on Gary Newman's album "I Assassin" in '82 before Paul Young.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing
@@Producelikeapro No worries. Check it out. It's Pino unleashed in beast mode.
Julia is so beautifull and talented
Great to see you both in one video! Julia's videos on Thoman's channel are amazing, she is a wonderful bass player and I love her enthusiasm :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice interview with an inspiring bassist!
Some nitpicking though, regarding the Steve Harris comment at 16:27: Harris has stated in interviews that he actually plucks the strings using only two fingers and not three, even when doing his trademark galloping pattern.
So this explains the hair. You comb with your left hand! Sorry! It was there for the taking. Love all your videos and hope you get healed very soon and don't suffer any lingering after difficulties.
Very good episode; some very interesting content, especially about recovery from injury, having experienced it myself. Small world, eh.
Until you showed your splinted hand, I was about to say how the words Hedgerow, Dragged and Backwards came into mind.
It was quite debilitating, however I’ve come out stronger out the other side
Oh man, bummer about your hand. I play drums and I [permanently] sprained my left thumb a few years ago. It's not prefect but I can usually manage. Julia mentioned something very important and it has been my experience with numerous injuries/surgies over the years -- it takes at least a year to get to the point you can _start_ doing things again. That doesn't mean you'll be healed in a year, nor does it mean you can't do anything sooner than a year but be patient, only do what you can (maybe just a _teeny_ bit more 😉), don't rush it and calibrate your expectations accordingly.

the hairdo is looking particularly producerly today! 👍
Qhat model Sandberg..pic is confusing initially it showed a p style pick up then showed as a jazz pick up anyway if it is lighter im buying one asap my shoulder kills at the end and even sooner of a gig.
Julia points to left wrist injury, but the pics, show the cast is on the right hand?
Didn't know you played till now.
What do you think about short scale bass?
I love them!!
I'd love to ask Julia how many times a week she's been told "ops, sorry, I always reckoned it was Hofner".
love julia,s site. i wish she was more active
I’m confused. Did she break her left wrist (as she says) or right wrist (as in the photos)?
These things happen.
Unfortunately my music does not pay any of my bills. Right now my first nine song project has earned $2.66 according to CD baby
I'm a truck driver which is consistently one of the most dangerous jobs you can have believe it or not. Of course driving is dangerous but parts of my body are around dangerous things everyday. About 6 or 7 years ago I got the tip of my left index finger smashed flattened literally as thick as a quarter from the nail bed up. I thought for sure they were going to amputate the tip of my finger but by God eventually it healed up. Every now and then there's a little discomfort at the very tip of the finger but only if I'm playing the guitar
You've been through so much and have many stories to tell. Glad you healed up. Thanks for sharing.
@@Producelikeapro I'm a legend in my own mind
@@Producelikeapro someday I'll tell you about the time I ran a herd of cattle through the Vatican. Good times
@@don_ald1 pray tell!
@@don_ald1 haha legend in my own lunch time!
I once recorded an album with arthrosis in my ring finger. That sucked.
I was playing football and me head because separated from my shoulders. They said I would have dain bramage but beat the oddness.
There are situations where playing guitar is easier than playing bass what a shocker
Thank goodness for the internet but it's still unfortunate for us (in the western hemisphere) that she lives so far away.
The lesson I get from the first half here is that a setback is an opportunity to advance in another aspect of your journey.

oh sure blame it on the dog!!! actually thats what my ex wife would tell me after my back surgery...sorry for this I know the pain, its been 7 years in recovery for me and I honestly tripped over my dog. changed my gigging life forever.
Wolverine! LOL 🙂
Hahaha indeed!
Aha California TT4
If Julia heard my music she would become depressed, programmed baselines that rarely if ever change, ha ha ha. But she would love the lyrics in Famous & Smarter
Nice hair
Hahahaha thanks! If you Google haircuts I’m sure you can find more to talk about!
Next davie504
Julia is amazing, talented and super cute. But you Warren, when you are in Wolverine mode as now, you should recover in minutes 🤔😃 I obviously am joking. I hope you will get well very soon
Hahahaha Thanks for sharing!
Taking the wolverine look to the next level....attempting to put the metal in your arm is taking it too Far, man!
Haha indeed!
Hello Warren it has been a while .. Last time I saw you your'e Sideburns were still black .. But I have You Tube "Ad Free " & the algorithym (?) thingy .. will pop up with anything by people I follow .. & I have been watching Julia since she 1st started with Thomann .. because of Mary Spender .. & Like Mary & your good self & the wonderfully talented Ayla Tessler - Mabe who does for Guitareo what Julia does for Thomann .. But on that "fatefilled " (?) day ( was it 5 or 6 years ago ) when I 1st put in a google search How to Start your own You Tube Channel & What you need to Record ( that was you ) .. Yes & I am the Boring old Scot's / Irish Muso who is still a recluse in Ye Olde Forest of Deane in Englande ( I barely noticed the Lockdown ) & I bore Julia with long Comment's & stuff she does not want to know .. Lol as I used to Bore you .. oops My mistake .. over the years I have realised that even Rick Beato although he can talk for as long as me & like you he does not need a script .. But all anybody really want's is Nice Job well done .. Wow .. Wow Wow Wow Unbelievable .. Although I did get a message back from Kate Bush & i do not think it was from her team ... Since then I have collected more than the Five things you need to start recording .. although I am still searching for a chair that works in all situations .. But being the recluse I also bought a Yamaha Electronic drum kit & a drum machine & most recently the Multi 12 .. drum pad .. thing But I have yet to produce anything that I feel is good enough to put on on my You Tube Channel ... & I have P Bass & the Epiphone shortscale EBO style ... But as you now realise with your having injured your hand .. ( I fractured my spine ) it is not always easy to manage everything alone .. But I have never wanted to give up & I have got quite a nice system ( very poor wi - fi in the Forest ) But I have a 24 trk Tascam & so I am completely independent from Windows & Daw .. But my eyesight began to fail & reading the Manuals etc .. well of course I watch a lot of you tube guides & the Alessis SR18 I have is quite simple to use .. I still have to have everything at waist height even my Guitar Fx pedals ( I have an independent Volume & wah at my feet ) but the main Fx are all on the Tables .. I shall stop now But wishing you & your loved ones all the Best .. Stay safe & get well soon Bye from the old man in the woods ..
