Julia is such a great bass player and seems so genuine. Love the content.
Thank you - that's the best tutorial I've watched for learning how to begin playing slap.

Thank you! :) // Cheers, Julia
What an incredible way to teach and communicate do you have, Julia. You bring your own energy and at the same time it shows you know how to teach technique but you also transmit peace, security and conviction, in that way you remind me of someone we both admire so much, the master Victor Wooten.
Best bass teacher I never had.

She made me aware of a bass was even needed
Thank you Julia for showing so many of us in a tutorial that you did without belittling us and yet you have that energy spark that we wish to achieve.
You’re a great teacher Julia! I bought my first bass from Thomann a month ago and then I discovered your videos. Very helpful indeed!
Out of all the beginner slap and pop tutorials this has gotta be my favorite, thanks Julia
Thank you Julia. You're THE BEST.
Finally a slap lesson that is clear!!! Thank you.
XD God i was carressing my dog's head while watching this, and it took me some time to notice i was slapping my thumb on her head ... She was like "ok, weird, but i take it !"

This is how you learn!!The secret is revealed!
Great lesson Julia! The Thomann hand drawn poster still cracks me up. Love you Julia
One of the best slap lessons I've seen! I'm just picking the bass back up after 40+ years. I've played guitar for 56 years, but only played bass in college. ('83), so this is great!
As everyone else must said, i think finally a proper tutorial on Slap. Thank you, please carry on, you are very likeable and that’s the spirit!
You are a terrific teacher Julia! Thank you for your insights
Finally, an easy guide to slapping and popping. Thanks needed this! Just picked up the Bass after years of playing the guitar. I'm hooked!
I'm now 62 and just started yesterday my my bass slap lessons after watching you! If I learned this I'll send you my video. Thank you Julia. Just give me 10 years to be exact! ( Joking )
Thank you for a solid technical video without all of the gimmicks and hyperbole. I like your natural approach to teaching and the way you break things down.
The best slap lesson I've seen lately.
Thanks Julia! Always love your videos!
Thanks Julia, for your teaching techniques. I hope to see more videos of you
Hi Julia, I've been playing bass for a long time and it's always good to go back to the basics. Thanks for your video.
Very nice teaching. I have tried hearing many lessons but this lesson the way you took to considerations the problem player faces and examples with notations. The best. Keep it up. God bless.
Julia, Du hast die Sache bisher am besten erklärt ! Chapeau 🥰
Thank you Julia !!! I do enjoy watching your vids, you're a really good player
Great video! I’ve watched several slap/pop technique tutorials and I didn’t get much from them. You have a great way of presenting your lesson that is clear and understandable for someone just learning slap pop. Thanks !!
Julia you are one of the best bassist on KZread!
Thanks for this video. I've been playing bass for a few years now but have never really gotten into slap. This video is one of the most helpful I've come across. Thanks again!
i am a bassist for a month now. I am not going to a teacher yet. I swear i learn how to slap bass the first time i saw this video. Congratulations Juliaa!
Thanks you for this. You covered off several key pieces in the technique that other online tutorials have missed.
Such a clear lesson - thanks!
Very cool and well explained . The rest is just practice ! Thanks Julia!
Das klingt so geil mit neue Seiten, ice over the cake 😁
Very good explanation and demonstration. This is very helpful for all beginners. A pleasure to watch you do your thing Julia👍👍
Have been looking for a video like this for some time. Thank you!
I'm self taught (Hal Leonard). One thing I e noticed about "fixed points" as you pointed out, I do all those things you mentioned. I practice daily both sitting and standing (you must practice in both positions). I've noticed that when standing I tend to use the inside of my upper forearm as my point of contact. I still put my thumb on the pickup out of habit. But with the forearm you get an awareness of the entire instrument. A slight conter pressure against the body of the bass affects everything from fretting notes to awareness of where the strings are and accuracy in striking them. Good point!
Very helpful, thanks!!
Thanks Julia, this was very helpful 👍
Older experienced keyboard player here who is now a bass player wanna be, lol. Bought an Ibanez SR1345B recently and have been watching Julia's vids as she is easy to understand and follow (and she is REALLY REALLY good!). What an excellent job of teaching. Can't thank Julia and Thomann's enough for speeding up this endeavor and keeping it pro. Thx all!
Wow. What a great slap/pluck lesson and exercises for beginners..thanks!
Thank you for this video! I loved how you took time to explain the process. Excellent instruction for a beginner like myself
this is by far the best video on teaching how to slap. If you aren't a teacher, you should be. You are fantastic, I can hear your encouragement in your voice. I definitely need to subscribe. Ciao for now.

This lesson is very good/ excellent musical pedagogy. There is no rambling or unnecessary verbal diversion: Talk is strictly limited to business of the lesson. Well done. Technicalities well described and demonstrated, even relevant anatomical con
Thank you for the lesson I’ll be practicing this later ☺️
Thank you, girl, excellent playing and a wonderful explanation
Very good explaining. Thanxs.
Great tutorial I enjoyed it. Thank you.
So helpful the way you explained things. Thank you!
Excellent lesson...off to practice!
You're the first one who actually thaught me, thank you so much
Thank you. I love the way you teaching.
Best tutorial period🔥✌️
Fantastic lesson. So easy to follow especially as I am a complete beginner. I have a 5 string bass. All of the bassist you mentioned are very good. My favourite is Reginald Arvisu aka Fieldy from the band Korn.
„Das klingt so geil mit neuen Saiten!“ Eben! Neue Saiten sind wichtig. Danke sehr fürs tolle Video!
Thank you for the helpful lesson.
THIS WAS REALLY GOOD!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!
Great detailed turorial many thx
I have this video a Thumps Up! She’s awesome.
Thanks so much!!!! That's the best slap bass lesson I've seen!!!! Peace up
Thank's for the lesson much apreciated
Julia Höfer is the greatest! Nice lesson.
I’ve seen a handful of other how to slap vids. This one has been the most clear and helpful. Great work!

It is good, just wish they went over more thumbing techniques. Bouncing off the string never worked for me, took ages to find someone who did a strike through tutorial because I did not know what I was looking for
So helpful, thanks Julia!
Great video. Thank You.
Awesome and very practical advice. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips!
Well done!
immer wieder toll deine videos 🙏
Great video! Thank you!!!
I LOVE that she says thump instead of thumb.

Realy great lesson. I Guess so many mistakes i did it, learning to Play slap technic. You are a great teacher.
Great video!
Thank you for this video. I’m a guitarist of 20 years almost (I’m 34) …I’m learning bass out of necessity because we have too many guitarists . I want to learn instantly and I know that isn’t realistic. Just the small encouragement to not get frustrated is actually nice. Thanks!
Thank you for the lesson, very easy to understand.
You’re making me want to go out and buy a Bass. I had one for years but sold it a few years ago. You are a great instructor
Great video Thanks Team Thomann
Thanks this is great.
Thanks Julia! Im improving my slaps and pops everyday cause of you
I have to agree, I was getting desperate in learning the slap( saw all sorts of videos), then Julia showed on my search. Boom 3 minutes into her tutorial and am slaping
Great BASS teacher Indeed. Thank you for teaching patiently.
