Nothing like funk to squeeze the best bass faces out of Julia.

OMG , that Fender P-Bass is so beautiful......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"People Get Up And Drive Your Funky Soul" has got so much groove that I DARE YOU to sit still while it's playing!! 😄

Julia keeping the funk alive.

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

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.

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.

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

Living in America 🇺🇸 is one of my fav bass lines 😊

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 😂).

ITs an awesome day when Ms Julia drops a video.

Spot on…it’s not quantised…it breathes and lives…EDM ain’t go no soul 😎

She is so awesome.

Gotta love Julia diggin on James Brown 😉

Get Up Offa That Thing is one of my absolute favorites.

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.

Yay! You did it-James Brown! Thanks Julia- my new favorite bass teacher! (man, was I missing alot on these riffs) Juan.

Awww she got that bass bounce on the 1!! She got the funk in her!!

Her accent is getting better and better.

My favorite Thoman video producer😊❤

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.

Awesome Julia 👍❤️🎶

The queen and the king... Julia and James!

Oh man I love those bass lines makes me move and dance

Best looking bass player julia

What a blast from the past for me, I remember when all these songs came out. Yep, I'm old, LOL!

Naah, you're Vintage 🕺

Anything you are playing at the moment is my favorite! 🎶 🎵

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.

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.

love the 10-11-12 fret walk up on the g in funky president feels uplifting

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."

Wow blows me away how good she really plays😊 Thanks❤.

Super groovy weekend start. Cheers Julia!

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.

Finally Julia brings the JB jams!

LOVE THIS LOVE THIS LOVE THIS!!!!!

"Funky President" was recorded by LA studio musicians including bassist Gordon Edwards (later known from Stuff).

Thanks, Julia. Well done! ❤

this video, made me think how dead alot of music would be with out bass riffs . awesome video thanks

Killer, absolut Killer !!!

You're right - it's hard to pick just one favorite James Brown bass line. The Bootsy bass was a nice touch. Thanks!

Julia gives such great BASS FACE!!

Growing up there was a lot of James Brown played in our home...thanks Pops for the gift of music🎸🎷🎶

I LOVE the bassline for "Get On The Good Foot"! Working my way to the point where I can play it myself.

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!

Great video! Much love for Bootsy. My favorite James Brown tune is "Get up offa that thing".

My playing days have long since passed and I have many regrets for not getting into James Brown's music . That just wasn't what I was into at the time.😥

Not JB, but one of my favorites is, A Taste of Honey`s Boogie Oogie Oogie bass.

Too Funky in Here... Great groove!

Good work. Very nice Ms. Juila

I Feel Good was my favorite - I love to play that one too!!

Thanks Julia ! That's some really cool funky playing !

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

Soul Power, Ralkin’ Loud & Sayin’ Nothin’ plus Sex Machine are my all time favourite bass-lines

Julia as usual your playing is impeccable... But you really make that outfit look just lovely!! Loving the top. Looking good girl.

My favorite James Brown base line is the one in Cold Sweat. That's the song that really defined funk conceptually, and that base line is the iconic example of being "on the one". Also, it drives the song and perfectly compliments the syncopated rhythm of the drums. This song established the essence of funk, and that base line was the groove that made it work.

The godfather of soul and the Architech of funk

Favorite: "Funky Precedent" @4:39

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!!!

I just love hearing you play. Makes me want to put down my guitar and drumsticks and take up the bass. 😉

Wow, groovy, groovy, groovy! ❤

Best Bass Face in the Business!!!!!

Such joy in these videos! Lovely to see.

Another Amazing video! Thank you!

The G bridge in "Soul Power" (1970)

She is so dang talented. And has the best funk face. Also really like the tone on that player p bass

That top 🔥🔥🔥

The only kind of top you should wear playing James Brown

Aint it funky! Keep it on the 1!

Fantastic!!!

Julia, you forgot Cold Sweat … the First Killer Funk Tune. Grüße aus Berlin

Loved this one! Love watching you enjoying your craft as well.

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!

You find that pocket and hold the mighty groove!! Julia you da BomB!

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...

you are so talented it was a joy to hear you play.Keep it up!!!!

That "orchestra" is actually known as the Famous Flames.

No, the band was the James Brown orchestra and the singing group was the Famous Flmaes

Make it funky!

The bass is the groove! Rythm and harmoni!

That star bass is out of this world

Yeaaaahhhhh !!!! Another vidéo of our loved Julia !!! Time to turn up the volume ! I'm always waiting for your videos ^^ Big thanks !!!

I've got my groove on tonight. Thanks you Rock!

Julia and her Funkiness on full display!

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!

Good point about quantization, it is the enemy of funk and feel.

Great! But I miss "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing", another masterpiece of Bootsy Collins.

@rwjoyner

Absolutely...a great example of what Bootsy brought to the art of the bass

Get it,girl!❤

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.

5:32 I agree 1000%. Quantized recordings sound like the soul of the musicians has died and been replaced by some robotic algorithm. Great playing Julia, IMHO

JUST SOOOOOOO FUNKY 🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸💯💯💯

I have exactly that bass in black and pau ferro fingerboard. Def recommend it!!

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!!

Julia has one of the best bass faces out there

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".

Great playing and examples. Please try out some ‚new‘ stuff from jb of the 1986 album gravity. The title track and dr feelgood are great, played by Tm Stevens

Great video - well played ! - i would add "Gravity" with T.M.Stevens !

Love your work Julia

Hi Julia ! Thanks for this very funky video. You're full energy and you'll make my week-end shine ! See U soon. François

Funky president is may fav ❤

I love all these pieces, of course, but like someone said below, Cold sweat, for me, is king for bass and the funky element.

Hi Julia, a song I think you should check out is Perfect Angel by Minnie Riperton
