No doubt. 'President'. You are sooo right when you say that 'you have to allow music to breathe'. Silence belongs to music too and many musicians/bands don't understand it.
I had the chance to see him perform live twice when I was growing up. I passed his bus one day on the south side of Atlanta but I couldn't see inside. I'm guessing he was on his way home. That last time I saw him perform I was in 8th or 9th grade and he was promoting the convenience store chain that bared his name. They made such a big deal out of it and he performed. This was in the late 1960's.
You're so right, it's so hard to pick a favorite, I could throw a dart at the list and be satisfied with what song in lands on, Haha, but for now, I'll pick the bass line from Static! One accessory you need when playing those funky bass lines, is a pair of cool sunglasses, Haha.
Ms. Julia's enthusiasm when playing these bass lines is so wholesome to watch. I agree with her when she said it's hard to pick a favorite James Brown bass line. My favorite would be *Get on the good foot* and *Get up offa that thing* since these two are my most listened to James Brown songs
You are super talented and did an excellent job and thanks for acknowledging the musical gift of James Brown and the JBs. You play your bass well. My favorite of your selections was give it up, turn it loose. It gets no funkier than that...
Very nice, as always. You mentioned Prince as someone influenced by JB. It would be nice to see the top 5 Prince bass lines. Also, I would like to see something from Victor Wooten and Doug Wimbish. Thanks!
Wow, I waited for this . That was the most accurate Sex Machine bass ever!! Loved your silver shirt, especially with the violet star bass (looks quiet heavy weighted?) Thanks and a nice superfunky weekend!
So lovely to see Julia play the star bass ! It sounds so good in Julias hands. They both fit together so well ♥ I have some perhaps unusual bass line favourites among Mr Browns songs, such as "body heat" and "the boss".
Young lady the version of "Give It Up Turn It Loose," you presented was a studio project with a audience overdubbed. When Mr. Brown, breaks down the band, he calls on Clyde Stubblefield for 4 bars, then he shouts out Bootsy. Check it out, this version of Give It Up Turn it Loose is on the double album Sex Machine. My favorite bass line is what transformed me in the Summer of 1965 into a James Brown fan, Papa's Got A Brand New Bag Part 2. Part 1 was slick, but I had never heard a bass player groove like that. My second favorites are tied, Cold Sweat, The Popcorn, The Chicken, and In The Middle.
It's hard to pick FAVORITE song by James Brown ❤ As you shared ALL OF HIS MUSIC was funky & lively. I remember dancing with my parents & brothers to his music. Whatever your choice, I'll enjoy! You ROCK girl! We can see the enjoyment you feel while playing those funky bass lines; we feel ya! Keep making videos ❤❤🎉 ... btw, you're invited to the cookout 😂😂❤
Get on the good foot, james brown and band plus dancers just brilliant infectious how can you not tap your feet , quality. Listen to a lot of modern club music which is repulsive rubbish to listen to let alone try and dance to. Well done julia for reminding people of what real music is.
You really got into Funky President😁You could have had a go at The Payback cos' Charles Sherrell initially said he struggled at first, claiming the bass line didn't fit the song.
Great work! Saw JB 12 times in his prime. I've played all of these but for some reason I had the toughest time picking up reggae. It finally clicked though!
Superbad......so good 😊 My favourite JB tune is a duet (with Lynn Collins?) ....Let it be me...a Latin version, when the melody kicks in at about 1.00, it's the best 👌 ❤
Love this! I'm glad you're venturing into James Brown. You should also look into doing the best of Leon Sylvers, who I think is such an underrated bassist.
Some recommendations: Cold Sweat, I Got The Feeling, There It Is, Get On The Good Foot, I Got A Bag Of My Own… I can name on and on, and of course Mr. Brown had different bassists and the basslines were not quantized or restricted as you refer in the video
I usually watch your left hand to see what notes you are hitting but WOW at around 2:00 I just was mesmerized by your right hand. I noticed when you hit the higher octave you are alternating fingers. First the middle and the next time your first finger. I guess it comes down to whatever is available in the moment. I'm a total beginner so I cannot understand how to do that yet.
Nothing like funk to squeeze the best bass faces out of Julia.
The Sex Machine bass line is perfecto! I've seen a lot of tutorials on that one and nobody plays with the same touch as Julia. Sounds so authentic.
Thank you so much! ☺️ // Cheers, Julia
Agree
I agree she sounds good but the first two songs are not played exactly like the original unless she learned them from some alternate track.
OMG , that Fender P-Bass is so beautiful......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No doubt. 'President'.
You are sooo right when you say that 'you have to allow music to breathe'. Silence belongs to music too and many musicians/bands don't understand it.
Julia playing is always a pleasure. What a tone and killing playing. And the bass face :P
It's always fun to watch how much fun Julie has doing these videos. My favorite James Brown song and bass line is probably "Mother Popcorn."
Julia, it is great to see you "Turn it a loose". Excellent video.
Yay! You did it-James Brown! Thanks Julia- my new favorite bass teacher! (man, was I missing alot on these riffs) Juan.
What a blast from the past for me, I remember when all these songs came out. Yep, I'm old, LOL!
Psssssst 🤭 ...no matter, she does a really great job 👍
She is so awesome.
Wow blows me away how good she really plays😊 Thanks❤.
"People Get Up And Drive Your Funky Soul" has got so much groove that I DARE YOU to sit still while it's playing!! 😄
I had the chance to see him perform live twice when I was growing up. I passed his bus one day on the south side of Atlanta but I couldn't see inside. I'm guessing he was on his way home.

ITs an awesome day when Ms Julia drops a video.
The killer playing and groove is almost surpassed by the bass stank face!😝🤟🤟🤟👌
Agree! Better than many you tubers who at times look like watchin a slug race. Funky shirt as well ! All in all: a like
You're so right, it's so hard to pick a favorite, I could throw a dart at the list and be satisfied with what song in lands on, Haha, but for now, I'll pick the bass line from Static! One accessory you need when playing those funky bass lines, is a pair of cool sunglasses, Haha.
love the 10-11-12 fret walk up on the g in funky president
feels uplifting
You're right - it's hard to pick just one favorite James Brown bass line. The Bootsy bass was a nice touch. Thanks!
Ms. Julia's enthusiasm when playing these bass lines is so wholesome to watch. I agree with her when she said it's hard to pick a favorite James Brown bass line. My favorite would be *Get on the good foot* and *Get up offa that thing* since these two are my most listened to James Brown songs
Love it. J B my favorite hero
Cold sweat
Funky good time!!
@@FredYoung-zv3nz Ah yes! That one is on my playlist too. We're gonna have a funkyyy good time 👏
Soul Power, Ralkin’ Loud & Sayin’ Nothin’ plus Sex Machine are my all time favourite bass-lines
I LOVE the bassline for "Get On The Good Foot"! Working my way to the point where I can play it myself.
Great video! Much love for Bootsy. My favorite James Brown tune is "Get up offa that thing".
Super groovy weekend start. Cheers Julia!
You are super talented and did an excellent job and thanks for acknowledging the musical gift of James Brown and the JBs. You play your bass well. My favorite of your selections was give it up, turn it loose. It gets no funkier than that...
Anything you are playing at the moment is my favorite! 🎶 🎵
Very nice, as always. You mentioned Prince as someone influenced by JB. It would be nice to see the top 5 Prince bass lines. Also, I would like to see something from Victor Wooten and Doug Wimbish. Thanks!
Loved this one! Love watching you enjoying your craft as well.
Julia keeping the funk alive.
Gotta love Julia diggin on James Brown 😉
Wow, I waited for this . That was the most accurate Sex Machine bass ever!! Loved your silver shirt, especially with the violet star bass (looks quiet heavy weighted?) Thanks and a nice superfunky weekend!
Your technique on "Funky President" is PERFECT! The staccato feel you employ here is almost indistinguishable from the original 👏
Funky President is great! Love that song!!
My favorite Thoman video producer😊❤
So lovely to see Julia play the star bass ! It sounds so good in Julias hands. They both fit together so well ♥
I have some perhaps unusual bass line favourites among Mr Browns songs, such as "body heat" and "the boss".
Yeaaaahhhhh !!!! Another vidéo of our loved Julia !!! Time to turn up the volume !
I'm always waiting for your videos ^^
Big thanks !!!
Awesome Julia 👍❤️🎶
Thanks Julia ! That's some really cool funky playing !
I Feel Good was my favorite - I love to play that one too!!
Finally Julia brings the JB jams!
Thanks, Julia. Well done! ❤

Nice dancing (and playing too!). It’s impossible not to dance with these grooves…so let’s dance with Mr James Brown! (Not dancin’? Not human 😂).
Good work. Very nice Ms. Juila
Such joy in these videos! Lovely to see.
Wow, groovy, groovy, groovy! ❤
I've got my groove on tonight. Thanks you Rock!
Ah!!! Friday! And BassGoddess! Love it!
Spot on…it’s not quantised…it breathes and lives…EDM ain’t go no soul 😎
"Funky President" was recorded by LA studio musicians including bassist Gordon Edwards (later known from Stuff).
Always a treat, Julia. Thanks for your great energy and terrific playing( and beautiful smile).

Without a doubt! You’re invited to the cookout 👍🏿❤️😅❤
Another Amazing video! Thank you!
Living in America 🇺🇸 is one of my fav bass lines 😊
Get Up Offa That Thing is one of my absolute favorites.
Super travail !!!
LOVE THIS LOVE THIS LOVE THIS!!!!!
Some of my favorite lines. Definitely my favorite genre of music. That P-Bass is soundin' fantastic!
Get on the good foot, james brown and band plus dancers just brilliant infectious how can you not tap your feet , quality.
Listen to a lot of modern club music which is repulsive rubbish to listen to let alone try and dance to.
Well done julia for reminding people of what real music is.
You really got into Funky President😁You could have had a go at The Payback cos' Charles Sherrell initially said he struggled at first, claiming the bass line didn't fit the song.
😍😍😍😍😍 FANTASTIC!!!!
Aint it funky! Keep it on the 1!
Hi Julia ! Thanks for this very funky video. You're full energy and you'll make my week-end shine ! See U soon. François
Oh man I love those bass lines makes me move and dance
Great work! Saw JB 12 times in his prime. I've played all of these but for some reason I had the toughest time picking up reggae. It finally clicked though!
Excelente video para comenzar fin de semana, genial James Brown,... mas genial TU, interpretando angelicalmente cada uno de los temas. Gracias.
you are so talented it was a joy to hear you play.Keep it up!!!!
Superbad......so good 😊
My favourite JB tune is a duet (with Lynn Collins?) ....Let it be me...a Latin version, when the melody kicks in at about 1.00, it's the best 👌 ❤
Great video and playing! My favorite JB bassline is Cold Sweat, which is from 1967 and according to what I have read the first funk song ever!
I actually think Papa's Got A Brand New Bag (1965) is funky enough to qualify as funk!
I agree, but Cold Sweat was released in 1967, which is my year of birth and I like the idea that funk and I where born in the same year 😊
this video, made me think how dead alot of music would be with out bass riffs . awesome video thanks
Good point about quantization, it is the enemy of funk and feel.
There was a Time. Niice chops !
Get it,girl!❤
Julia as usual your playing is impeccable... But you really make that outfit look just lovely!! Loving the top. Looking good girl.
Thanks for giving inspiration
Awesome bass jamin’ all JB to choose- Funky president
The queen and the king... Julia and James!
Thanks Julia 😊
You got it!! Fantastic grooves, beautifully played. Thanks for the terrific demo on how it's done.
thank you
Awesome. Boogie sister!
She is so dang talented. And has the best funk face. Also really like the tone on that player p bass
Best looking bass player julia
Funky president is may fav ❤
Love your work Julia
Too Funky in Here... Great groove!
Fantastic!!!
I just love hearing you play. Makes me want to put down my guitar and drumsticks and take up the bass. 😉
Klasse Julia!
Killer, absolut Killer !!!
Love this! I'm glad you're venturing into James Brown. You should also look into doing the best of Leon Sylvers, who I think is such an underrated bassist.
Great! But I miss "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing", another masterpiece of Bootsy Collins.
Absolutely...a great example of what Bootsy brought to the art of the bass
Awesome work! I learned a lot !
I have exactly that bass in black and pau ferro fingerboard. Def recommend it!!
l was never a fan of James Brown but, Julia, as a true expert, you make these bass lines look easy.
Some recommendations: Cold Sweat, I Got The Feeling, There It Is, Get On The Good Foot, I Got A Bag Of My Own… I can name on and on, and of course Mr. Brown had different bassists and the basslines were not quantized or restricted as you refer in the video
Luv it‼️Keep it up ‼️
You're amazing!
Awww she got that bass bounce on the 1!! She got the funk in her!!
Hello Julia. I really like how you interpret the bass lines. I can't choose one, they are all pure funky. Bye
Terrific. ✌❤

Her accent is getting better and better.
