Billie Eilish - Therefore I Am (Bass Cover)

Always.... If I hear one of the original songs on my Spotify favorites I have to jump over to KZbin Music and listen to her version because I always like them better.

[@EvaJK]

I wasn't even that much into Dua Lipa's latest album until I heard her covers.. now I want to listen to songs like Don't start now but I either can't stand it and immediately search Julia's cover on yt or just have to live with the fact that I play the bass line in my head lol!!!

Wtf now I've something to worry about Julia.

[@jas_bataille]

@@jesse_0607 Being an accompanying musician is just not the same "famous" as being a star front stage. She'll likely become famous among musicians, but even the greatest names in bass aren't *that* famous.

Short scales sound sooooo round and full! In Julia's hands, more so.

[@simonschmitz6719]

Be careful with your Subscription. If you go down this path, all the originial songs will feel so empty without Julia playing the groove. She always adds a new touch and notion to the songs she covers. You can't go back to the originals once you are into her videos. Keep on doing what you do, Julia - your feeling for the music is very special and your bassplaying is beyond insanity. Your videos energize me to keep playing and improving the bass although I'm suffering from a decay in my technique because of multiple sclerosis. Don't you ever stop with your covers! I'm addicted to them!

[@bffteacher7530]

You and Davie have helped me pick up the bass again after years of getting away from it. Your channel is so dang refreshing. It was the first time where I wanted to be a Patreon to a support a creator. Before you released tabs, I would spend hours slowing down your vids, trying to puck on every subtle detail. You've really helped me improve. Really, thank you so much Julia! Wishing you and your fam the best

[@tommysalty5864]

I play the bass, but I'm not even nearly as talented as you are. What I like about your vids is that you're always so much into the song you're playin, the groove sits tightly. And you are very creative and smart about your bass lines, adding titbits here and there, but not overdoing it. Just never stop playing, you got it and it's very inspiring to see someone become that good through hard work and commitment. Respect!

[@bernardhossmoto]

Seriously, when you go to your music acadamy, how many teachers are there who can actually teach you something?

[@bari1348]

Yes, but someone as skilled as Julia can benefit from learning music theory. I am convinced that as creative as she is, as she drills down into music theory and its complexities, she can only improve, to be able to play with anyone in any genre. Plus music school will teach her how to play in a group, which I suspect she has not had a lot of. Any long time band member can tell you that playing in the band or orchestra is a whole different thing. And when she gets hired as a session musician, she has to read those notes, that chart, and try to get it right the first time, because studio time is money. I have no doubt that she will become one of the world's great session musicians when she's out of school. If she is lucky enough to become a famous musician, well Amen Sister! If not, she will have all the work she can handle by knowing all the fundamentals of music.

[@devanmuse7300]

@@bari1348 @Bari I think you're a little dazed about the modern recording music industry. It only costs money in the studio if you're a hiphop kid, and then thats the business model in itself. Most professional recordings can be done with a laptop, mixer, preamp. Especially for a bass input. Studio time being charged for became obsolete with the invention of digital music, you aren't throwing away tape for bad takes. Studios upcharge because you can do it in your bedroom, as you've noticed by amateur Julia, or now-professional Finneas brother of Billie Eilish, how impactful that can actually be.

[@bari1348]

I tend to agree as I have a whole studio at home. However, I predict that Julia will be playing with top pros at some point and then she has a good chance of seeing those fancy big recording studios. @@devanmuse7300

[@trashbaby9000]

@@devanmuse7300 idk man what he said is pretty spot on. Going to school for it-or at least taking theory and professional lessons, makes a huge difference! I started out college as a voice major and I learned soooooo much just from a semester.

The possibility of learning off others is endless, going to school will give Julia the possibility of making connections with other musicians that she can later practice, jam, perform, and tour with. As well as meeting many other great people!
