One of my favorite bass lines of all time. And she nails it.

John Taylor isn't recognized enough as one of the great bassists of all time. And this cover is perfect.

Hi Julia, 4 years ago I suffered from clinical depression and anxiety. I was at very low point in my life and tried to do some really bad things to myself. Then I saw this video and I said to myself, im just gonna watch and listen to this first and then I'll just give up tomorrow. I did that almost everyday. Here i am now still listening to you and watch your videos. I think you saved me. Thank you for letting us listen and witness your talent. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love from the Philippines.

I like how she really loosens-up and gets with it as the song goes on! Sweet and savory tones.

I grew up listening to Duran Duran. I never fully appreciated how intricate this bass part was until now. Well done!

[seraphus]

That crazy fill towards the end is a stroke of genius.

WOW!!!!
That is some very impressive bass playing at such young age!!
To master John Taylor's style with all the ghost notes and quick fingerstyle going on in this song takes a lot of talent and skill!!
You really nailed it!!!
Also the first time I heard this song played on a Sterling by MM SUB 4, and it really sounds fantastic!
Never thought Rio could sound so good with the Stingray sound(I think these SUB Ray4 basses sound more like the vintage Stingrays than todays modern MM Stingray bass guitars anyway)!
I can imagine that you are pretty proud of yourself, and you should be!!
I bow to you young lady!
Keep up the great work!!
Big thumbs up!!!

Regards from Holland

This is after she started learning only three years previously ! Self taught to this level in such a short space of time is astonishing.

Just stumbled over this... DD was one of my favourite bands when I was young. Amazing how you managed to tame that beast of a bassline.... respect!

[BedlamAndBones]

Congratulations for mastering one of the sickest basslines of all time. Respect!

John Taylor is one of my favorite bassists . Well done Julia !

[rbilleaud]

I don't think I really got it until I saw this video, I never was a huge Duran Duran fan, but John really had a funk feel to his playing. She nails this song too.

[osvaldoumana]

wow.... I love Duran Duran and specially this song.... awesome bass line and, Julia has done a great job... makes it look very easy... great job Julai!!!!

[waitomo]

Your bass covers are the best and you have great taste in music. Rio is one of the most difficult yet impressive songs for the bass and you did it like it was no big deal. Super!

[RichBshine]

I have been playing bass 27 years and I think you are very gifted and talented very nice playing.

[jefffrohwein]

John Taylor is a highly underrated bass player. Most people thought he was part of a fake band. Bless you for sharing his skills. I couldn't detect a flaw in your playing. (Try attempting: Duran Duran - The Shadows are on your side) If you can pull that off, Pastorius would be jealous...

[fubar]

Man, how did I miss this one in your list of vids? One of my favorite bass lines and you nailed it with the ghost notes!

[speedyjefferson]

I feel that's a difficult bass line. You made it so effortless fantastic job . God has given you a beautiful gift of music.

[mrbigbosskojak]

Brilliant, so glad I found this, great work!

Не знаю ни одной девушки, которая играла бы лучше. Я Ваш поклонник навсегда.
