Jamiroquai - Too Young To Die (Bass Cover)

[@michaelanthony9068]

OMG… I’m a 65 year old lifelong musician, bass as primary instrument for the last 3 years, and she is teaching me and inspiring me as much as ANYONE ! Janek Gwizdala, Julia Hofer, Scott’s Bass Lessons, this lady is right on top ! Of course I’m subscribed !

[@piastylback9410]

And Swedens Pride and joy Henrik Linder!

[@משהפריידין]

Yessssss

[@melissatroy2863]

She's born to play the bass...the music she chooses let's you know just how well she hears and feels that bass

[@SusanSingsSongs]

At this point Julia was only playing for 2 years and 5 months. Not 10 years or even 5...And self taught with no Maestro to guide her...This young lady was just born to play...

[@MrBillyboyroge]

Susie Qsie AKA SusueMikado very similar to Stuart in respect to being self taught, no maestro to guide him and had only been playing for a couple of years at the time this track was released. Uncanny similarities kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIKWqqlpgtGofsk

[@WaltherSuk]

Julia is certainly a true example of hard work, dedication and..... lots of talent.

[@dickrozing8462]

Due to your performance I started bass guitar lessons in Holland. You're never to old to learn to play on such a marvelous instrument. Thank you Julia!

[@evzzs]

YOU GOT THIS! BASS IS SO FUN!

On the contrary due to her performance I'm about to quit bass!

[@rirukk]

I've been listening to Jamiroquai the whole week and landed up on this video. It's amazing to see that Julia already played with impeccable technique 7 years ago. This execution is ridiculously perfect.

I thought she was only playing for about 2 and a half years?

I truly can't stress how Pleased I am to see someone so young that not only appreciates these true R&B songs but Learns how to play them so well!! I can't help but wear a big smile as I watch your videos! I keep sayin "Go head, Girl!" Proud of you.

[@egarrett02]

It’s not just the technical skill, which you obviously have. It’s also your musicality. You have the feel for the song, and it takes your playing to a new level. Amazing!

[@lumpyfishgravy]

Note-perfect technique but I'm blown away by the awesome TONE! Too few people appreciate a good bass buzz.

[@cameronfry2170]

Julia, I was listening to this without seeing the KZbin video. Tucked away down in my office listening to KZbin take me through some decent funk tracks. I play several instruments and out of necessity purchased myself a Fender Jazz six string several years ago as it was the position within my musical community that required a volunteer. I love Victor Wooten and Stanley Clark, but Bootsy Collins is my man... I was able to use my voice dictation software to rewind the track several times until I finally decided to have a look at who was playing. I was blown away. Your fretwork is accurate and you are a talented sniper. Your timing is amazing and to be able to pull that off with your tiny little hands and the accuracy you projected in your musicianship and command of your guitar was spectacular. I pray you never forget to include music as a daily piece of your journey through life. You have a rare talent and here is the most important thing..... Because of you..... I stopped everything and grabbed my bass.... cause of you. THANKYOU !!! :) :) :)

[@riggswineco]

Amen.

Hearing you play is literally bringing a tear to my eye. Good Music sees no color, race, or creed. It’s the universal language. Your musicianship is SPACEAGE, FUNKY, NEXT DIMENSIONAL Groove! 🙏🔥🔥🔥💯

[@stevem-h3562]

Most promising young fingerstyle player I've seen in a long while. I've been playing since the mid 1980s but wouldnt have been able to play like this at the same stage of learning as she Julia was at the time this was shot. The combination of the trills, the little bits of vibrato and especially the ghost notes.... very very very very impressive for one so young.

[@jackswift7103]

I'm loving Her Talent, She's the best Bass player By far on KZbin, can't get enough of her style, Everything about her is perfect.

[@lucioruffo9470]

she is always in time with every single beat amazing i guess she also dances pretty well ...such a rithm inside ...wonderful creature!

[@Sven_Guitar]

Unbelievable! It sounds so good that I couldn't believe my ears! Perfect timing, groove, vibrato, phrasing... just exactly like in the original!

[@chrisshaw6451]

This was brilliant back then, and to think Julia has only gotten better is mindblowing! I'm a Guitar player, but since watching this young lady I've got myself a bass too, and I'm enjoying playing so much, YOU did that Julia. 👍😊❤️

[@carldubcats3385]

I play guitar but I think I might buy a bass tomorrow and play this version of come down.
