She's born to play the bass...the music she chooses let's you know just how well she hears and feels that bass

OMG… I’m a 65 year old lifelong musician, bass as primary instrument for the last 3 years, and she is teaching me and inspiring me as much as ANYONE ! Janek Gwizdala, Julia Hofer, Scott’s Bass Lessons, this lady is right on top ! Of course I’m subscribed !

Julia is certainly a true example of hard work, dedication and..... lots of talent.

there is nothing better than watching/listening someone who is that young kicking ass on a master level.

I truly can't stress how Pleased I am to see someone so young that not only appreciates these true R&B songs but Learns how to play them so well!! I can't help but wear a big smile as I watch your videos! I keep sayin "Go head, Girl!" Proud of you.

It’s not just the technical skill, which you obviously have. It’s also your musicality. You have the feel for the song, and it takes your playing to a new level. Amazing!

I’m 43 years old and I started learning how to play bass now and I wanted to learn that song. But after watching this talented and gifted girl, I noticed I’m not ready yet.

Hearing you play is literally bringing a tear to my eye. Good Music sees no color, race, or creed. It’s the universal language. Your musicianship is SPACEAGE, FUNKY, NEXT DIMENSIONAL Groove! 🙏🔥🔥🔥💯

The world is saved. I cry tears of joy...

Julia, I was listening to this without seeing the KZread video. Tucked away down in my office listening to KZread take me through some decent funk tracks. I play several instruments and out of necessity purchased myself a Fender Jazz six string several years ago as it was the position within my musical community that required a volunteer. I love Victor Wooten and Stanley Clark, but Bootsy Collins is my man... I was able to use my voice dictation software to rewind the track several times until I finally decided to have a look at who was playing. I was blown away. Your fretwork is accurate and you are a talented sniper. Your timing is amazing and to be able to pull that off with your tiny little hands and the accuracy you projected in your musicianship and command of your guitar was spectacular. I pray you never forget to include music as a daily piece of your journey through life. You have a rare talent and here is the most important thing..... Because of you..... I stopped everything and grabbed my bass.... cause of you. THANKYOU !!! :) :) :)

I've been listening to Jamiroquai the whole week and landed up on this video. It's amazing to see that Julia already played with impeccable technique 7 years ago. This execution is ridiculously perfect.

It was my first bass line with a group 1999 ... I love this Line 💓

This was brilliant back then, and to think Julia has only gotten better is mindblowing! I'm a Guitar player, but since watching this young lady I've got myself a bass too, and I'm enjoying playing so much, YOU did that Julia. 👍😊❤️

Killin it!!! Stuart Zender would be super proud

The timing and feel almost like you are slightly ahead of the count without speeding up anticipating the notes coming up shows how well you know the song.

All the ghost notes, the popping and everything in place => a grooving' playin' that could turn without drums (if it was necessary) ! Beautiful play and clean technique ! If you learned that alone Julia it means you have everything in you to trace the road ! Natural born bassist you are > Use the Force, Julia ! 🙂

after a dozen of your covers i say its not only that you play em good. your choice of tracks and therefor bass parts is excellent too.

Her choice of music is what I love. Ole school groove songs.

Props to you Julia!! I love it! Not only funky and talented but you choose excellent music!!!

Just randomly watched three covers of this song and yours is the best. So funky. Also makes me want to learn this song, great bass line 😊

Most promising young fingerstyle player I've seen in a long while. I've been playing since the mid 1980s but wouldnt have been able to play like this at the same stage of learning as she Julia was at the time this was shot. The combination of the trills, the little bits of vibrato and especially the ghost notes.... very very very very impressive for one so young.

My goodness! Your right hand is so strong and you play with such control in your fret hand, all while playing with a very mature groove with a great tone! Your have such wonderful command of the instrument! I listen to bass players everyday. Even at your age in 2015, you were THE cleanest young bass player I've seen. You are tremendously inspiring. I have to finish this message to go practice!

That chorus is tight..good job. All the bass on Return of the Space Cowboy is sick.

Just a pleasure watching you playing the bass. Awesome song to play the bass on. And the extended version as well. Thanx 4 honoring the classics! Luv this song by Jamiroquai! 😃👍

So that"s how they do it! TOTALY AWSOME!!!!!

Girl, you've got the funk and you're going places for sure! I love it!

beautiful done! Such deep and rich tones... gave me goose bumps!!!

Just came across this. Fabulous playing!!! It's so inspiring to see young musicians with this much talent and dedication to music.

God you played that beautifully...your fingers on the fretboard is just a joy to watch. Magical!

Music feeds the soul and I’m so full

SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. THE BASS IS MY FAVORITE INSTRUMENT !

Wow! Incredible. This is why the bass is such an amazing instrument and you play it with such ease.

Sometimes you pick up an instrument, and tho you can’t play the way want right then, you know this is the one. She found her voice, and we get to hear the badass sounds she plays for us. Play on, Play ON.

You've made me happy! Thank you Julia for your astonishing talent

Julia, this is nothing less than WONDERFUL!!!!! Thank you for posting this. Keep grooving!!!! Best regards from Rio de Janeiro / Brazil

Great tone, in the pocket, all the string bends to get the intonation just right. I know many musicians who never got that far in a lifetime. And at this point she's only been playing for just over two years. What a talent! (And I great taste in music I must add)

I played this as one of the pieces for my final high school music exam way back in 2010 and i did good but you’re so clean with it and the technique and tone is on point. Love it!

Listen to this album a lot on long cruises. This song is one of my favorites and this cover is just amazing

This gave me life!!! Amazing talent you are, Miss Julia!

hear frequently your old songs, just soooooo wonderful and well you play them. Especially the Jamiroquai songs I love. And all the others.

@@MartinKMusicProductions Alright, stop right there. This girl is good. Really good. And for her age, she's ridiculously good. What she is not, is *better* than Paul Turner. I get that you were pissed off when Stuart left the band in 1998, we all were! He was great but he obviously wasn't the heart and soul of Jamiroquai as they have been banging on without him for over 20 years and they are just as good as they've ever been. Also, in my opinion, Paul Turner is the best bass player they've had since Stuart left. He's freaking amazing. If you stopped listening to the band in 1998, I just feel sorry for you, man. They've released a ton of bangers since then and their live shows are still amazing.

this song or "never too much" will be my first song on the bass I have to study. so iconic that makes me wanted to play bass after playing guitar for many years now. Thanks Julia! for your inspiration.

She feels what she plays. Pure joy watch and listen to.

You got some serious skills. Absolutely perfect. That tone!
