This may not a virtuoso related. I have been a fan of bass guitar instrument. I look up to some famous bassist like RHCP's Flea, Victor Wooten, Mr.Big's Billy Sheehan, Vulf's Joe Dart, Incubus' Ben Kenney, even Nolly Getgood from a prog-metal band Periphery.

A long-time ago I discovered Juliaplaysgroove YT channel and she bass-covered some songs. I have seen her improvement. She went from a good bass player into a wonderful one. Any recent songs she covered almost like the better version to me because she fills extra notes if necessary but still not over-filled.

I think the dualipa cover is the famous one of her for everyone to look up:

I bought a bass guitar a long time ago but didn't have much time to learn it. So I just dreaming to become as cool & enjoyable as her. 😄 I choose bass because I just want to enjoy music. not building a serious music career and persona with promising instrument like guitar, drum, piano.
