    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
