  • Here's some playing to this classic tune by Chaka Khan!
    I used Boss OC-5 octaver to get a little closer to the synth sound :)
    Hope you like it, thanks for watching!

    Anthony Jackson would be proud on how you interpreted his basslines and took it to an entirely different level 👏 👌

  • @ClaudioSantos-bx4bd
    @ClaudioSantos-bx4bd Před 2 lety +133

    in the beginning, the bass line is more traditional than usual - even considering the synthy tone - for the channel, but in the third minute of the song the bass playing gets wild. Congratulations to juliaplaysgroove for another outstanding post.

    • @modifiedcontent
      @modifiedcontent Před 2 lety +2

      The tone, timing, groove in the more "traditional" parts is awesome.

    • @ETTP.S
      @ETTP.S Před rokem +1

      Yeah he really allows himself to grow with the tune and not dump too much in the beginning and allows you to enjoy the other aspects of the song which is quite ingenious when you consider it. The anticipation must’ve been wild. It would’ve been hard for me I was playing this not to go full on thumpy. Such a groove.

  • @glennstermania
    @glennstermania Před rokem +12

    Ah Jules! Looks like someone has been doing some crate diggin' to access this gorgeous piece of old school R&B funk! Love that your ear is virtually uninhibited and you have a vast appeal. Anthony Jackson killed it when he laid the track and then they doubled it with a synth bass! You next levelled it! Simply put you slaaayyyed this old school , highly underrated R&B classic gem! Killed it! buried it! Nailed the coffin at about 3mins in. Looking forward to the inevitable day when we're listening to you on the world-music sound stage. DAMN!!!

  • @sebastianj3832

    This bass line was originally played by Anthony Jackson, and then later doubled with synth bass. Very nice work picking up Anthony's unique phrasing. Would love to see your cover of Chaka's "Clouds", which is an AJ tour de force.

    Hi Julia.
    What a great tune you made out of this classic funk sound!
    Chaka Khan would love you playing this live with her!
    You're outstanding! And your artistic playing with so much soul and passion is the only way to make it happen!
    Wish you would play more of the classic tunes of that kind and hope you would be recognised by Warner and Sony to dive into the hall of fame some day!
    Thanks for you fantastic work!

    I feel like one day, your creativity is going to really explode and your talent. There's a lot to think about as a bassist in this genre of music, like how the artists would do it. It takes a long time to fully mature as a bassist, like half a lifetime. As you change, so does your music. I see someone who is really good, but has no ceiling to their potential. I think you're just getting started, you seem to be a steady learner and those types usually learn a lot as life goes on.
