She is obviously a fan first, but does a stellar job on her interviews. A great combo, and perfect balance. Cheers to her.
But really! !! Beautiful. 😕
sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me

I've seen her star struck before. She comes prepared. Nobody's looking for a polished interview. We're all big fans and the candid vibe delivers in good form. I'm out.
The first time I saw Stu with Satriani back in the day, when Joe introduced Stu, the crowd went "Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" and it sounded like they were booing him. Then Joe said "They Stu him because they love him" and I got it, haha. Then I heard his solo and realized he's on another level. Awesome bassist.
Love Stu! I was the drumtech for Satriani for the G3 tours and got to hang with Stu a lot. He played Factor basses then!
Gavin Simmons That’s cool, they both seem like really nice guys. I saw the first tour with EJ.
I was mesmerized by both. Great interview!
I've been aware of Stu, but never looked into him. I watched this to kill time and I got sucked in. He was so generous with his knowledge and eager to share stories. Julia was wonderful as well, very excited and engaged. She wasn't just reading questions, but rather having a conversation
"I played piano for years and years" at 3:49 well that explains his depth of knowledge. His videos for TrueFire made me a better bassist, got me to know the modes and underlined the fundamentals. This was a casual, cool and excellent interview. Very in-depth. Thanks to all involved.
Stu Hamm is as much a teacher of all things on electric bass, as he is a master of all things electric bass. My first, true inspiration to play bass, some 30+ years ago. Many thanks Stu, for the lessons and all the advice..
Wow, excellent interview, Julia, with know-how and empathy
Who is Julia?
Petra Kann the women on the right
@@kimseniorb Thanks mate...do you have her phone number?
@@PetraKann 😂😂😂
Great interview. Stu’s a legend. I’ve nearly worn out my copy of his “Slap, Pop, Tap for the Bass” instructional video.
This girl is a great interviewer! She brought so much out of Stu and I learned a lot. Great job!
Great interview! i learned a lot, thanks. I first heard Stu at festival hall in Melbourne Australia. He was a support act for Stevie Ray Vaughn. Wow, Id never heard a bass played like a banjo. Never ever forgot that.
Most people do not understand how much a bassist can influence the music. Passion and warfare would be a radically different album without Stu involved. I saw him a few times with Satch, he practically stole the show. he would be my go to guy on the front line.
Stu was a HUGE influence on my playing. Stu played in Charlotte NC 2 years ago so I had to see him. I took my daughter so she could witness Stu's talent. He didn't disappoint. Thanks for the interview!!!!
Stu's the reason I play bass: 20 years ago couple friends in high school were fans of Satriani. They played his 2000 Live in San Francisco DVD to convince me of how cool and amazing he was. Stu's solo stole the show. I bought a bass a couple weeks later and the rest was (my) history.
Hi, Julia. Would you consider not only "interviewing" your guests. But also having them "plug in" and play a little something for us? Also, since you have Stu Hamm on here, I was wondering if you could invite Brian Bromberg on. I absolutely LOVE his music and his musicianship!!!!
Stu Hamm is one of the reasons I play bass. Great interview as always!
Always been a fan of stu...one of my favourite players and super cool
I saw Stu in NYC in the 1990's at a Bass Day show . Incredible musician . I wish they would alternate east and west coasts with that show . They did several in NYC and then stayed in California .
I saw Stu play a couple times & I was blown away every time he played! He's amazing!
Great interview with Stu Hamm much respect for his low end skills a master of the bass for sure fun time
I saw Stu In Finland Pori with Satriani 1998. He played himself bass solo. I remember Bonanza theme and country stuff? Maybe little Beethoven. 22 years ago hard to remember all.
Amazing bass player and nice humble man.
hallway of Bass masters who know what to do! just ask Stu... Julia too
woo hoo great interview \m/
..."and that's very 'rah' " 😂 spot on! couldn't have put it better myself.
Great interview, Julia rules!
She absolutely does!! // Guillaume
Such a monster player. Been listening to his stuff for over 30 years and never heard him interviewed before / nice job
He play for Caifanes, the mexican band, many years ago, he is one of the Best players
I LEARNED I CAN DEMO WITH A PRO! GREATEST! & EYE WATCHED JULIA!!!
+ TO PRACTICE AT A SET OF TEMPO TOO, YET I ONLY DON'T PRACTICE- JUST RECORD. CAN'T PLAY; JUST DO. IMPROV BY EAR. THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS VIDEO.
Stu is the man! Iconic bassist, my favorite bass player without question. Very cool guy, and seems to be very nice as well. I really like that he talks about warming up, that to me is the most important thing before even practice. Great video
Saw Stu with Satriani on the Flying in a Blue Dream tour. Blew my mind.
This is actually the first time I'm watching a Stu Hamm video, after having known his name and also his Urge bass for decades! :-O
Saw Stu years ago when he was touring for The Urge record. Stellar show!
I have Stu Hamm Urge Bass. Still love it!
Love me some Stu Hamm!
I admit i'm not a huge fan of his, but this was a great interview.
Stuuuuuuuuu!!!
So bummed I missed Stu when he was at Blue Note Hawaii. One of the greats! Always holding the groove!👍
I love the fact that Vikingur Olafsson got a mention! Adapting classical works to guitar/bass/electronics can be a touchy subject but many artists are doing it tastefully and wonderfully. Paul Galbraith has an incredible album of Debussy’s Children’s Corner on 8 string classical guitar (the Brahms guitar), which Stu Hamm also mentioned. Unexpected in this conversation but was happy to see it go this direction.
I think those things are important. I love history and I think history Is
Important because it's where we've come from, it's our roots , our heritage. Saying that classical music has an influence on his music's very cool. You'd never think such different music could/would influence each other. But that's the thing about art. Different ppl see the world differently. Obvious I know but it speaks to the character of a person when they take different sources and make a connection between them . 2 of my favorite music groups are hank William's (country star) and the temptations(motown greats) at first they seem very different. Both are distinct icons of their genre. Hank for country ,tempts for soul motown. But despite the cultural differences (and the obvious racial component) both speak of the trials of men and women in every day situations. The loves the loses the extreme joy of life and the misery and unmet expectations. Both have amazing melodies and rhythm. And what I hear in country music like hank William's, is real soul. The temptations and motown in general is described as "soul" music. What some ppl see in country is a lot of cornyness. A lot of hackey topics and ideas which is true in some cases, but with the best artists you see and hear the real talent come thru. Hank had real soul. It was a white person's version but it was undeniably there. Cheers ! I just felt the need to testify. Thanks. Have a great 2020 have fun! Be happy!
Another great interview Julia! I like your style.
such a shame it did not have his bass plugged but this is a great interview!
so rare to watch a Stu interview. Great work !
Julia is also a great interviewer.
But this isn't about her, right?
Stu was a huge influence on me, and is a genuinely good guy.
Great conversation! 👍
This is crazy! Stuart Hamm! Thabk you Julia and Thomann!
Met Stu way back on the BX3 tour with Sheehan and Berlin. Really cool and an astronomical bass ace!!
He's not lying I found him on CZcams 10 years ago. Moonlight sonata af
Stu is awesome
Lovely interview
AWESOME!!!!!
No Stu, YOU can't bring a 4x10 cab with a compact head to a rock gig, which for you is Satch and Vai. The rest of won't need anymore than that for playing bad Pink Floyd covers at the local pub.
But it's fun to pretend like we can relate.
So you've seen my band!?
@@dugnsuz Yep.. 4 ohms rocks better than 8!!.. But, then again, my back isn't as young as it used to be...
Yeah I’d routinely piss off sound guy’s in Buffalo where I’m from show up at a club gig with 2 ampeg svt 8x10s & 1 6x10 with a rack full of gear including svt 4 etc. lol oh & 5 basses
That was pretty good. I like the interviewer's questions and Stu man!
So a very very pretty man Stu, I met him twice great !
I absolutely love Julia!
Up to now, the only stuff I’ve heard Stu Ham do are the trio of live cuts from the Joe Satriani EP *Dreaming #11.* Hearing him mention his piano studies sheds an immediate light on how he fashioned his bass part on “Memories”.
I wasn't even aware of that he plays bass on that track; I guess I haven't really paid that much attention to any bassline in any Joe Satriani song.
I'm secure enough to use a small set up and not being bothered about what others might think it looks like. It is how it sounds that really matters.
Julia is an amazing interviewer
Thanks, interesting video
Saw Stu Hamm with Satch in 1996? in Sheffield on the Satriani self titled album tour. Tiny venue. Also the Crystal Planet tour Birmingham NEC when Schenker supported (and had black hair due to his dad's death), and also the Engines Of Creation tour in Birmingham NIA when Stu was using Hartke (sticks in my mind). Surprised the interviewer hadn't seen him before two years ago!
Stu's Washburn was a pretty bland looking bass and the bright sound of his Kubicki couldn't be replicated. Glad he is with Warwick these days, although his configuration is pretty nonstandard Warwick!
Really enjoy Stu's playing, hope to see him again one day and finally work out some of the tracks from Outbound as they're impossibly difficult. I think Crystal Planet has the most interesting bass lines on it, and albums since then by Satriani have very pedestrian boring supporting lines with no frills or flourishes.
Great interview
excellent interview for both ppl and camera crew and all!!
Thnx Stu
my fav bass players... the most talented and the best looking one (how handsome you are Stu!)
Great interview thanks
One of my first heroes!
That was a really nice interview, Stu is so lucky to be interviewed by Julia! Pity he didn't have his bass plugged in so we could hear the examples he was playing.
11:56 great insight . Thank you Stu & Julia
My bad Cheers
Ok u Hamm can you play Willie dixon's Spoonful and put your magic touch to it...And this little lady is asking some good questions...fun video.Stu ur the best...
I love Julia. 💕
I'm in love. And Stu is cool too.
Fantastic
That was a great interview. Thanks
good job, Julia . . . changing strings - great question :)
STUUUUUUUUUUUUU! Love you Dude!
Sorry I missed you at NAMM!!! Hipness!!!
Julia is a great interviewer.
Amazing interview!
Amazing player.
Great interview :)
Stuart Hamm...one of the best bass players in the world..
Il a fait le freeway jam tribute to Jeff beck Wicht Chad wackerman et Michael lee firkins fabuleux excellent
i fell asleep a few times but when i would wake up i would say it was a good interview and i have been play bass 20 years But really don't practice like when i started cause i have good hand memory and i use mostly a Rickenbacker 4 string lefthanded with Rickenbacker strings... So everyone gets where they want to go just with there on shoe or boot and speed;)
Still remember my reaction when I heard slapping country music almost 20 years ago.
Stu cracks me up Lol!
STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! :D
Wow Stu looks really good here. Must have been right before he went all in with the tattoos.
Awesome bassist!
Stu suggests playing music instead of muscle memory. Wow, that just eliminated 90% of the world's bass players from being taken serious for a second as actual musicians.
Guitarists like me as well. Just need to incorporate more music that has hopefully become muscle memory ...
Great interview. Happy Birthday Stu!
👏👏👏
I wonder his opinion on 5 and 6 string bass guitars ?
He did have at least 1 5 string urge bass
The sound comes from your fingers..wisdom..he's right.
Stuart Hamm & the Hamm Hocks.
Talented bassist for sure. You should check out his Bass solo on "love thing" in Joe Satriani - Live in San Francisco. Freakin' amazing! I've just never understood the story of why Satriani fans would boo Stu..? Any idea or know the story?
I think they are saying "Stuuuuuuuu", not "boooooo" :-)
As Joe likes to say, "they Stuuuu him because they love him."
It's interesting that one sometimes say that a person is "talented"... That may be the case. That they were born initally somewhat born with a certain skill. But man... Some of these guys must have put it a ton of quality practice hours as well.
Great interview! You guys should've let him play something though.
Julia...because Thomann knows best!
You gotta have the players plug in and do a demonstration!!! Just a tip!
LOVE stu........wait......did he just say Greg Howe? =)
💙👊😎💙👊😎
New strings , like a new pair of sneakers. I miss Stu Hamm.
"2000, 20 years ago." 😢 Where did 20 years go?
You ever get that one little piece of advice right when you need to hear it most? :]
Julia.....we are going on a date.
