I love watching Julia, she is a great bassist, her love for music is infectious. I have learned a lot from her.
Plus I love how she starts grooving while playing. Far to many musicians just stand there.. as if their backs were up on the wall.
@@blastmanutz7798 She was selected by Thomann, one of the, if not the, largest music instrument sales in the world, to basically represent them in the area of basses.
And you are... Who exactly?
@@SomeReallyUniqueName This is a great bassist ua-cam.com/users/shortspfO4mTd8Nsk?feature=share
@@blastmanutz7798 A pretty face goes a long way.
@@buckemptier Oh come on
I love how much fun she's having playing the bass line from jungle boogie
The meter says she is about 10 decibels louder than the previous song. Yeah, she was enjoying the trip. The era of Funk must be a bassist dream era.
I was like, "Aint it good to ya!". 🤤
They are truly amazing live. Saw them in 2022. Also very nice people to meet. There discography for dance floor power is second to none. Lady’s Night is next level as well.
You done it again girl,I know you can't be old enough to have grown up listening to this funk,but damm,you sure know how to rock them out,this is memory lane girl and I love it,oh the glasses,so cool but definitely chic,God bless you girl....
Simple, yet catchy and funky bass lines that go so well with the songs.
This sunburst Fender Precision Bass is really beautiful! And Julia is great musician! Looking very good too!
Slices through Jungle Boogie with ease! Julia has de funk!! ❤️
Julia grooving makes it impossible not to simp
I stumbled onto Julia by accident while searching for bass covers for my favorite music. She is the best of all of them! Great bassist, to the point explanations, and really gets you going! This is about Kool & the Gang (grew up with 'em and luv 'em) but like the EWF title, you are a "Shining Star" Keep it up!
As a percussionist from the 70's and still jamming today at age 61, thank you, I wish we could recruit you as our bassist 😉, nice work 👍🎸🥁
"Celebration" was inspired by Prince's " I wanna be your lover. " Ronald Bell was backstage at a Rick James concert and heard Prince who was supporting James singing that song. Ronald altered what he was hearing by reversing the groove and slowing down the speed and came up with the main hook for Celebration.
Awesomeness
@@bigkeezo Isn't it tho? Isn't it tho.
I always thought they sounded similar. No way!!!
Groovin to Jungle Boogie!
She's having so much fun and is so contagious. I love k&tg, and she gives so many good vibes
She’s FRESHH!! - has so many sweet subtle variations & fills
Are you considering making a video about Bernard Edwards Basslines?
Unfortunately we can't make a Chic - Bernard Edwards episode on youtube because of copyright reasons. But you can watch it on instagram 😊
instagram.com/tv/B96PmyWIyBB/?hl=de // Cheers, Julia
Bernard Edward was just one of the best Bass player in a generation
Kool jouera avec James après sur SOUL SYNDROME
Julia always has exquisite tone and technique..a true inspiration for us bass players
I found Julia by accident on the net. Fantastic!!
I don't play bass but I listen to you for hours. Excellent bass player, charismatic, very good musical selection and explanations. Eduardo by Brazil
Love "Celebration"🎶🎧🎸
_Get Down On It_ groovt wie Sau! Mit Julias Bassline doppelt.
Love it when Julia stands up on these episodes... you really get to see her in the zone, rockin' out
"Hollywood Swinging" was the first bass line I ever played, I only learned that song to play in a HS talent show (to get girls) with my friends having never played the bass before. It's very simple and it gave me the determination to play the bass.
I learned Jungle Boogie and Higher Plane
I recently watched an interview with Chic's Nile Rodgers in which he claimed he got inspired by the beginning of Hollywood Swinging bass line when he wrote Chic's Good Times, you know, the 3 quarter notes on E. He said his cousin played with Kool and the Gang.
Well, don't keep us in suspense: Did it get you laid?
@@frankfrank7921, 40+ years ago, I can't remember. LOL!!
You played the bass for girls? 😢
That's never worked before....the guitarist, frontman and drummer get all the chicks.
We bassists go home with the groove though 🔥
that T-shirt fits that jungle boogie perfectly!
This is a fantastic way to start my Friday morning, thank you. 😎❤👍
I recently picked up the bass after playing guitar for many years. "Get Down On It" was a song I learned a few months ago and glad to see it made your list. I love that groove. Thanks for playing it.
Summer Madness!!!
Man sieht ganz genau, wie sehr Du die Musik liebst, fühlst und mit Ihr mitgehst !!! Sehr geil ... eine Bassistin mit Leidenschaft !!!
\m/
Celebration!!! my favorite
Kool send the Gang great bass lines. Love the Life You Live, Hollywood Swinging Soul Vibrations, Mother Earth, Superband, Surrender. To mashed a few. I'm the original Kool and the Gang fan. Ever since their 1st 1969 release, Kool and the Gang, an instrumental.........
Absolutely love this episode. You show how the use of octaves in funk are so cool. Tausendmal Dank so viel von diesem Bass-Anfänger!
Jungle Boogie, such a cool song. Love that Fender 75th Commemorative P-bass, I picked one up earlier this year.
Hi, have yours the same colour? The top part between the Pickups and the Bridge is more Brown than orange. I mean my copy
@@stefanherbst9980 Similar, I think they're all a little different. The Bourbon Burst is gorgeous in person. I wasn't a fan of the gold hardware until mI saw it in person, it works, beautiful bass that plays better than it looks.
My favorite Kool & The Gang bass line is from their smooth instrumental Sumner Madness. I'd love to see you do that one!
I was going to ask to see Summer Madness also. I have the original album. Light of the worlds
This is absolutely my favorite Kool & the Gang song too!
Summer Madness 👍
Oh I like that thumb and pluck on the last one!
7:15 Great bass face, love it!
You've opened up a new way to look at bass playing Julia. I play the guitar (moderately) and therefor always listened more to that. But after watching a couple of videos, I don't think I an ignore this instrument anymore. You sound like a great and skilled player and your love for playing is very infectious! Thnx ❤
Lost in Music. Perfect. 💣💥🕺💃🎸🎼
Love the new backdrop! She is a tremendously talented and beautiful musician! Thanks for doin’ and sharing!
Super cool, proper funk!!
Imma need a whole cover of Good Time😍
Hollywood Swingin is a nice song too. Julia is awesome
Great ones, had to grab my bass right away.
They're also killing it on "Fresh" 😎
Much enjoyed, thanks Julia.
Best funk band eveeeeer!!
Kool and the gang... Open Saseme & Straight Ahead... ❤❤

Best version of Jungle Boogie I have heard.
"She's Fresh" is great bass
Julia, just continue to play what you enjoy playing... love your music selection!!
Julia, I just love how you get into it!
Another great video! One of the 1st bass lines I ever learned was Hollywood Swingin. Simple but effective.
Julia I truly love listening to you play on this channel
Julia, you got it and I love you
Get Down On It !
Seit jeher mein Lieblingssong!
Cool gegroovt, Julia!
Great playing as always!
My favorites besides "Celebration" are: "Joanna", "Cherish", "Ladies Night", "Fresh", and "Funky Granny".
Would have rather liked to hear 'Cherish' than that bass trolling on nr. 5 (forgot the title of the song)!
That is some wicked bass Julia! Nice work as always!
Julia ist die beste ❤️
dankeschön für deinem bass mit awesome funk!!.
Fantastic! Love it. Thank you.
Julia never disappoints. Great video!

That was AWESOME
Summer Madness
Fantastic advocate for the instrument. Great work Julia.
Great Video Julia ! Thanks . My kool favorites Big Fun and Open Sesame
Great bass playing, very well played!
I like the growl of this P-bass !
I really hope Julia is thinking about a part 2. Songs like Funky Stuff, Love the Life you Live, Ladie's Night...
Hell yeah!!
Quite amazing , Thanks U!
You are great, Julia! Straight Ahead and Too Hot are my favorite Kool and the Gang basslines.
As always, that is some sweet tunes!
🤙🤙
Awesome work Julia
They truly were COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
That's one Kool for each of the band members past and present, and one for luck!
I know you can only fit so many in, but "Hollywood Swinging" is an iconic line, and I'd also add "Ladies Night".
I was just about it suggest Hollywood Swinging. That whole song was basically bassline driven.
Awsome playing !!!
wow Julia love your playing !!!
Soulful playing! 🔥
I feeling so good bass sound 😊
Summer madness
Julia and the Bass Face are back! I can't get over how good she is at finger style funk--I wish I'd had a handle on that near as well as she does when I was playing the bass. Good show as always, Miss Julia! Me, I always liked the groove on "Joanna" because it's so relaxed and laid back, but confident, and the fills he does on the chorus between vocal lines are just so tasteful and perfectly timed. Deceptively simple, for sure.
