[@bluto212]

Her warm-up is full practice for me.😀

[@migorvortis]

Sadly that's true for me aswell mostly. But at least I'm putting that work in regularly

[@paperman876]

same but we got this!! lmao

[@Farencio]

you got to play scales across all modes and notes with pattern variation!!!! that is really good practice even if you don't get to do all the work.

[@rainvedu]

The smile of Julia warms me up instantly :)

Have not played consistently in almost a decade. Picked up and dusted the old bass today again. Thank you for the exercises!

[@JaketheCultist]

same, I wish it was like a bike where you remember everything you learned for life!

[@dumaflotchy13]

Man that bass has incredible lines ..... wow. The top of the fretboard looks like F. Jazz & the bottom of the fretboard is wide like a Fender P. 🙂

[@jeffreyeagen4896]

You make me want to play my bass more!

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

haha and you made me smile ;) // Cheers, Julia

[@boomerbassmeme]

One of the things I play for a warm up is Groove is in the Heart. Gets the old fingers ready to go and gets me in that funk state of mind too. :D

[@bryanhenderson8807]

Not many people would think of playing D flat scale as a warm up, but it is important to play in the flat keys and not just play follow the dots. Thanks for a very inpiring video, as are all your videos.

[@cosmikdebris4950]

ok, ok...

[@Karl-HenrikWiden]

You are a very good teacher, fine balance between talk and play/Kalle

[@dos_mas_805]

Playing broken thirds like you did at 5:42 is a part of my typical warm up as well. I usually start my warm up by playing major and minor arpeggios starting on C major (3rd fret of A string) and working up the fret board chromatically to the 12th fret. Then, run through a major and minor in broken thirds in all keys.

[@tombellas4942]

I gave up bass many many years ago but I recently got back into playing. I feel like I’m starting all over again literally. What a way to start though. Back to the basics but Julia’s videos like this one and others are helping me tremendously.

[@lariojoubert3877]

I'm a big fan of Ms.Julia!! Have u got an old bass laying that you want to throw away? If so please toss it out as i'm too poor to afford one but this vidoes keeps me motivated and reminds that one day i will also own a bass guitar that my so heart so desires!! Never ever stop making music Ms Julia it gives me hope and so many others hope!! Stay blessed!

[@iainmackenzieUK]

Your warm up is like a life time of work for me! I got as far as flexing my wrists :) Loving your lessons Julia - seriously. Always grateful x

[@LeeJoRo]

Came here for those ghost notes 3:58 yeeeeaaaaah there we are Thanks for the tips Julia

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Hey LeeR, hahah thanks a lot! // Cheers, Julia

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses keep it up

[@ronaldmillner6387]

I wish you were in NY. I would pay to learn from you. You are amazing! Your Bootsy video was on the ONE

[@Codename-B]

I have been doing this warm up every day for years, but I've seen this video a hundred times just because I love listening to Julia. I just love her accent.

[@perrysar5954]

Thanks Julia the ultimate is the SPIDER UP AND DOWN THE NECK it covers all fingers and strings back and forth

[@Krabadaque]

Thanks for nice warm-up exercises! Having taken lessons in classic guitar I would suggest to use three fingers on the right hand, though.

[@1Ratrod]

Thanks for the input, i too started physiotherapy after i hurt my nerves from using wrong posture and position of both hands. You are a cool instructor / teacher.

[@gernblenstein1541]

Fantastic! Just what I was looking for. Thank you, Julia! My daughter's and my grandmother's name.

[@grizelda4526]

Thank you for the lesson Julia! If it helps anyone: I spend some time each day rolling my hands and forearms with golf balls. It is a tremendous help to the soft tissue.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Hey Grizelda, thank you very much for your advice :) // Cheers, Julia

[@SUKOCONANUNGBOND]

"GOOD JOB JULIA.... GREAT PERFORMANCE" 🎸👍👍🇲🇨

[@TheDukeWayne88]

Thank you for the video. I gave up music almost 30 years ago. I got a bass recently and your videos inspire me to keep playing.

[@h.p.brownsaucecraft7966]

I’m obsessed with just hearing the tone of that bass during your warmups. Aside from that beautiful tone, this was very helpful, so thanks again Julia!

[@nicolasurteagabriceno3388]

I love Julia.

[@johannesmller4124]

Dear Julia Thank You so much for this valuable warmup-excercises! I have just picked up my bass after three months without tuching it at all, feeling helpless - until I found exactly the tools to get back on the track again. Best regards Johnny Voss Denmark

[@dirkboriskestel8499]

Great insight, thank you Julia! I am not a bass player but my warm up "gymnastics" without instrument are pretty much the same. I just add some strechings for thumbs, hands, arms, shoulders and neck before playing scales and after the scales before practising music. I can strongly recommend that to everybody who has muscle-tension issues....

[@PushSueAside]

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. More pros should do videos like this. Well done. Your lesson is appreciated. Thank you

[@Finiteintelligence]

Nice. I’ll usually add modal practice as well and work on the intervals inside of the modes. I try to switch up the fingers used a bit on my left and right hand conscientiously as well, exercising that fine motor control. Thanks.

[@Incredible_Mister_J]

After a long time, this is the video that helped me get back into bass playing

[@elrafa782]

Always a pleasure. Thanks Julia

[@michaelbecker5995]

The funk on that open string warm up.. just dayum

[@samasuncion]

I like your way. Thank you. I am a veteran guitar player and I am beginning to play the bass guitar for a week now. And I stumbled on your you tube lessons and its cool. Cheers !

[@brunobarcone8345]

Grazie Julia, ❤, buona giornata!

[@gilpin3202]

Thank You!! Practice the fundamentals. They never change. Really enjoy your playing!!

[@paulm.tedesco3039]

Yes, indeed, She is Amazing! Thank You, Jesus

[@rustknale3818]

Great insights Julia. Much appreciated.

[@boyonbass]

Im gunna follow this warm up regimen next time I doo a session. As u can see there isa session in session...Actually, Im 56yrs old and hav been playing 30+ yrs and our gal, Julia is playing circles around me. I think my goal will be to learn all this and sit outside the session and play this while ppl walk in/outta the studio? Thx as always Julia! Blessings, dUg-Montesano, WA/USA

[@jonhall3151]

Love your videos and your laid back style! Been playing for about 20 years and musicians like you help me to continue to stay involved and learn new techniques. Keep up the great work!

[@oldmanmerc]

Returning to music and wanted to try something new so bought a bass. Every time I see one of your videos I take something away from it. You and your style are so centered that I’m able to take it all in without any anxiety or confusion. I’ve learned more about muting from watching you play than from videos actually dedicated to muting. Thank you!

[@Azajndo]

I really really like your emmmm's :)))) stay awesome!

[@dancassidy7471]

Perfect..just what I need to start working on scales. Giging very much around Boston And New York

[@danieljones8398]

Great warmup lesson - TQ

[@waynephilbert]

Nice warm up, I add contrary motion to mine across the modes, 1357,8642,3579,10864.... up and down..

[@cirimaxg651]

Thank you, your videos are very positive and direct. Very effective.

[@danilobernaschina1842]

Grazie mille, warm up like in any sports it's important

[@angusmilne9827]

Great suggestions. I also stretch & rotate my neck & shoulders otherwise I can get a sore shoulder; also helps with relaxation. Plus, I have a basic jazz book. Good to do simple jazz exercises to warm up.

[@konstantinvinokurov6864]

Hello Julia! I really like your bass! Thanks for your lesson!

[@johnadair4979]

Fabulous! I enjoy all of your videos, but this was one of your absolute best.

[@untensil]

I always have cold hands and fingers, so this will be great for me. I can play so much faster and cleaner once warmed up!

[@jelloman80]

Thank you for that. I often cramp up during the third set or the encores. I used to do warm ups but just got lazy I guess. Time do do my warm ups new, chow

[@ChrrZ]

well said Josh

[@bionicmarsh]

I love Julia’s voice 😍

[@Jdecmusic]

Thanks Julia for reminding us how important it is to incorporate bass warm-ups every time. -Jim

[@joaoarielbf]

awesome video, you can really see the patterns her fingers are forming

[@lajeanette33]

Great tips! I had trouble understanding the scales exs because it went so fast. So i know what i have to do -> slow practice 😅

[@pmdinaz]

A nice reminder to warm up properly. Thanks!

[@Alpha_7227]

This is such a great teaching video, may I use it to teach my beginners group at school. I think you will inspire my students especially the girls because of your infectious positive attitude, as well as beaming smile.

[@giannibiancocircus]

Thank you Julia

[@DiegoAmedeo]

I’m doing the 2 octaves scales with different fingers, but these are very useful tips i think. Thank you so much

[@russelldougherty3054]

The exercise with the position shift looked like what they teach upright players. Very concise execution too.

[@kimhebert9905]

Good info… Thx Julia 🎶🎶

[@mv9787]

I like to stretch my forearms muscles. It makes my playing more relaxed. Playing should always be relaxed, just as any motion you do with your body.

[@tbull50]

Very nice exercise ideas. Thank you.

[@sammylee8662]

[@JimPoston1]

Very nice practice regimen Julia... thx for sharing!

[@dos_mas_805]

After stretching my hands and back, I like to play an ascending arpeggio exercise. start on C and play major arpeggio, then minor arpeggio and ascend up chromatically. I think i learned this from a Daric Bennett video. I also like to play major and minor scales in broken 3rds and 5ths. After the ascending arpeggios and broken 3rds and 5ths. I'm warmed up and ready to go! EDIT: i had commented before watching the entire video and see Julia does the broken 3rds as well. Nice!

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Hey dos_mas, sounds like a good warm up exercise for me! // Cheers, Julia

[@davesabo7474]

Been doing similar things for years, great for the hands

[@1Ratrod]

Stretching and flexing hands and fingers carefully is helping me lots.

[@annetee6567]

Nice mix for a warm-up! When I´m not holding cymbals I move my fingers one finger per fret from high to low going through all strings for warm-up 1234, next run 4321, or sometimes with a Beatles song slowly (Drive my Car e.g.) ;)

[@shiloheaston9839]

This is great! :) Just got my first bass yesterday! Thank-You for including the stretching as well! :)Thank-You!

[@dadgad1046]

Try this.. Finger tips touching of both hands out in front of you. Flex the pyramid it forms to stretch the muscles. No need to push hard just flex back and forth. Next while flexing rotate your hands pointing away from you and back towards your self. That motion builds the muscles in the arms that help move the hands. You will feel the difference right away. This has helped the arthritis in my hands greatly. I hope it helps you or others.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Hey Dad Gad, thanks a lot for sharing this exercise with us! :) // Cheers, Julia

[@dadgad1046]

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses You are welcome! Thanks to you and Thomann for what you do for us.

[@FeargusMc]

This is great. Thanks

[@mattlisa69]

Thanks Julia, since seeing the vids you make I'm playing a lot more bass (will I convert, hmm!) X

[@thefanceman]

very enlightening. can you go over your tuning, as in when you say you chose D flat major. as opposed to regular tuning? i pretend to play with a group that likes to play heavy metal so they like to play in drop D and drop B and such. and i understand the concept of these lower key tunings or whatever. i would like to know if you have any cool tricks for easily adjusting the bass tuning between different ways such as drop D, drop B, etc... great video!

[@johnpcourter4038]

Okay that answered the question of how I and so many of my friends got in trouble over the years. Don’t swirl drinks in a glass and change the weight by drinking what is in the glass.......as warm up. My second and third base are both older than you my first died when I dropped it down a flight of stairs. Its last notes light me on fire and let me go out like a Jimmy Hendrix guitar. It is simply a pleasure to see how much you enjoy playing. My passion is now working of sounds for video games.......

[@energizeyourlife4]

Loves it!!!!! How can i play faster and make the bass sound good? I suck! Need some advise on this. Plz🤗. When i move my fingers to another note my bass does like a rumble sound its horrible!

[@SEOTeamBerlin]

good exercises for ANY musician 8-) - I also play drums and keyboard (starting guitar now) and I use these warm ups for all my instruments :-D - greetings from the Lake of Constance ;-)

[@IgnacioDomínguez-v4r]

Muchas gracias Julia

[@figgybass]

Cool! I like to do 2 octave arpeggios, major chord then the relative minor. Then go up a 4th and do those 2 chords etc.. Love your channel!

I just started playing 2 months ago. Usually i play after I've been at work carrying heavy stuff. It never occurred to me to loosen up and stretch before playing. Maybe that will help my wrists a bit! Thank you!
