I used to play bass in High School but I kinda fell out of it because of depression and other things. But after discovering your channel recently, I've decided to start taking bass lessons again and when I met with my teacher, and he asked me what my goals as a bass player are and what style(s) of playing I wanted to learn I just showed him this video and said: "I want to be able to play like Julia someday". So, in other words, you've inspired me to get back into one of the few things that have brought me joy in this world, and I thank you for that.

Louis Johnson is smiling up in heaven .. He was one of the best ever and you do his bassline justice, which is not an easy one..

It might be too obvious to mention, but aside from heaps of super tight technique and deep groove, Julia's basslines are her own compositions, inspired by the songs' original basslines but unique pieces of music in their own right - written, practised, memorised. Beautiful.

[raykusko]

Her expansion of the original bass lines and her on the fly improvisation are beyond her young years. She is a gifted artist, a real artist.

All you gear heads take note - this (and the majority of her vids) are recorded on a $300 Sterling SUB bass, with no other effects, and she sounds absolutely unbelievable! I don’t even know where to start but she’s a very special player and is truly inspirational. It’s a word that gets chucked around a lot to the point it ends up feeling meaninglessness, but I truly get goosebumps hearing her play and makes reminds me why I love this instrument. Thank you 👏

Michael Jackson + Julia's bass cover = perfection!

[YurpNationReactions]

I've literally been waiting for her to play this specific song!!! SHE SMOKED THIS Julia, you are one of the BEST bass players I have ever seen/heard IN MY

[kbluesfleisher]

She plays in the pocket, and feels the groove. This is more than just playing an instrument.

[Andluth]

Just when I think there is nothing good left in the The Hair tie Samurai drops a funk nugget. Thanks Julia.

[kdm]

Phenomenal. I love when she’s plays extra notes between the groove. And the expression on her face when she knows she’s knows yeah that was funky. Simply lovely.

[dionnemoffatt]

Louis Thunder Thumb Johnson would be praising this young lady. She never ceases to amaze me.. goosebumps every time ..

[elderkenya]

Wow!I'm blown away !I've listened to this album since its release, I've never heard someone play the bass for this song to be so spot on, wow you're truly amazing.MJ would be so proud of you, you definitely have a unique gift for music.

[CassiusClam]

One of the reasons why I pay for YouTube Premium. No interruptions! Just pure skill and funk! Thank you Julia for this! Such a jam!

[michaelsedayao]

Wow! I think Louis Johnson (and MJ) would approve... amazing slap technique! 🙂

[MacReady]

Julia, you have done the master Louis Johnson VERY proud. He was a genius. You’re there with him. Superb stuff.

[Gahhan]

Julia, you're really presenting the divinity by your playing all the way`round your videos. I'm used to play some exceptionally musical and groovy passages all over again to let myself understand what the heck this chunky stuff is. Your tone and groove is just genius! THANK YOU FOR THAT!

[philippemarne]

Wow! 0:52 and 1:54 You always find a way to make the longest fills fit in! You keep driving this track all along, even at 3:54 - where do you find all this energy? 4:02 asserting your proverbial melodic fiber with style... Wow, Julia! Wow!

[t.millimill]

Just when I thought she couldn’t get any better, Julia lays this down! Genius Funk.

I'm 73 and have started to learn the bass guitar. I need to listen to lots of bass playing and you are my inspiration that anything is possible! I know, it requires plenty of practice, practice, practice. I hope you realise the effect you have on other people who love music, particularly the bass guitar! You are not alone in a room with a bass guitar, you have lots of admirers around the world who enjoy your bass playing.

[russellhowardjr.]

No doubt. This young lady shreds it. Mr. Johnson himself would be proud. Respect and a hearty Salute!
