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.
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'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.
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 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.
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.
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!
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...
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.
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".
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 😂😂❤
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 👌 ❤
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.
Actually, the bass on the 1970 version of “Give It Up or Turnit Loose” (the version you’re playing in the video) was played by Bootsy Collins and originally released on the “Sex Machine” album. It was later re-released on a compilation called “Funk Power” which features Brown’s work with the Collins brothers…The bass on the original version of this song from 1969 was played by a different bassist - probably Sweet Charles Sherell.
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......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is so awesome.
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
Julia, it is great to see you "Turn it a loose". Excellent video.
Julia playing is always a pleasure. What a tone and killing playing. And the bass face :P
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.
ITs an awesome day when Ms Julia drops a 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 👍
"People Get Up And Drive Your Funky Soul" has got so much groove that I DARE YOU to sit still while it's playing!! 😄
Wow blows me away how good she really plays😊 Thanks❤.
My favorite Thoman video producer😊❤
Wow, groovy, groovy, groovy! ❤
Ah!!! Friday! And BassGoddess! Love it!
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."
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
Anything you are playing at the moment is my favorite! 🎶 🎵
Gotta love Julia diggin on James Brown 😉
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.
Awesome Julia 👍❤️🎶
LOVE THIS LOVE THIS LOVE THIS!!!!!
Julia keeping the funk alive.
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 😂).
Aint it funky! Keep it on the 1!
Super groovy weekend start. Cheers Julia!
Killer, absolut Killer !!!
love the 10-11-12 fret walk up on the g in funky president
feels uplifting
Best looking bass player julia
You're right - it's hard to pick just one favorite James Brown bass line. The Bootsy bass was a nice touch. Thanks!
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.
Thanks, Julia. Well done! ❤
Finally Julia brings the JB jams!

Well done julia for reminding people of what real music is.
Julia pings those notes like someone twanging a rubber band - boing and strut! Hard to find the words but that's she's got motherfunkyfingers!!!
Great video! Much love for Bootsy. My favorite James Brown tune is "Get up offa that thing".
I LOVE the bassline for "Get On The Good Foot"! Working my way to the point where I can play it myself.
Get it,girl!❤
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!
😍😍😍😍😍 FANTASTIC!!!!
Living in America 🇺🇸 is one of my fav bass lines 😊
I Feel Good was my favorite - I love to play that one too!!
Damn Girl ❤

Oh man I love those bass lines makes me move and dance
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!
Such joy in these videos! Lovely to see.
Loved this one! Love watching you enjoying your craft as well.
Thanks Julia ! That's some really cool funky playing !
Not JB, but one of my favorites is, A Taste of Honey`s Boogie Oogie Oogie bass.
"Funky President" was recorded by LA studio musicians including bassist Gordon Edwards (later known from Stuff).
Good work. Very nice Ms. Juila
Julia as usual your playing is impeccable... But you really make that outfit look just lovely!! Loving the top. Looking good girl.
Spot on…it’s not quantised…it breathes and lives…EDM ain’t go no soul 😎
Imagine showing up to a gig at an Oktoberfest in Tyrol playing ompa-fifths with that Bootsy "star" bass :)
Too Funky in Here... Great groove!
I've got my groove on tonight. Thanks you Rock!
Get Up Offa That Thing is one of my absolute favorites.
Good point about quantization, it is the enemy of funk and feel.
😂 das mag ich an James Brown, es ist wie ne busfahrt ...man steigt ein und es ist direkt abfahrt..Rooooaar
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!!
Yeaaaahhhhh !!!! Another vidéo of our loved Julia !!! Time to turn up the volume !
I'm always waiting for your videos ^^
Big thanks !!!
Another Amazing video! Thank you!
Awesome. Boogie sister!
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".
this video, made me think how dead alot of music would be with out bass riffs . awesome video thanks
Best Bass Face in the Business!!!!!
Awesome bass jamin’ all JB to choose- Funky president
There was a Time. Niice chops !
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
Funky president is may fav ❤
Julia, you forgot Cold Sweat … the First Killer Funk Tune. Grüße aus Berlin
I missed "Get Up Offa That Thing", but otherwise great video as always.
you are so talented it was a joy to hear you play.Keep it up!!!!
Thanks Julia 😊

Without a doubt! You’re invited to the cookout 👍🏿❤️😅❤
I just love hearing you play. Makes me want to put down my guitar and drumsticks and take up the bass. 😉
Some of my favorite lines. Definitely my favorite genre of music. That P-Bass is soundin' fantastic!
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!
Hi Julia ! Thanks for this very funky video. You're full energy and you'll make my week-end shine ! See U soon. François
Thank you
Superbad......so good 😊

Es ist lustig, wie riesig der P-Bass in Ihren Händen wirkt. Gut gespielt! It's funny how huge the P-Bass looks in your hands. Well played!
Klasse Julia!
Super travail !!!
She is so dang talented. And has the best funk face. Also really like the tone on that player p bass
Actually, the bass on the 1970 version of “Give It Up or Turnit Loose” (the version you’re playing in the video) was played by Bootsy Collins and originally released on the “Sex Machine” album.

Thanks for giving inspiration
Is it just me or is Julia coming up with a serious bass face here lately. I think she is still learning from the best bass face ever......Frank Itt
I think it's my orgasmic face 😉
Actually the same thing haha
Love your work Julia
Luv it‼️Keep it up ‼️
Always a treat, Julia. Thanks for your great energy and terrific playing( and beautiful smile).
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 😊
You're amazing!
Her accent is getting better and better.
