Fuck all [F#m] that.
Let's just use that third take, man.
You was doing great!
What happened?
That was the best take.
You're green.
[B] I'm green?
You're green.
You're great.
Fuck.
I feel green.
Alright, ready?
Yeah.

_ So everybody always asks how we met, right?
Yes.
So can I tell a little bit?
Go ahead, because I want to know your part of the story.
Well, I remember I was on tour in Brazil and I was playing a venue.
I was singing, had my eyes closed, singing one of my songs.
I opened my eyes and she's standing in [C] front with her friend,
singing one of my tunes along with me.
And I thought, holy fuck, that girl's pretty.
And then when I left, she was standing there and she went like that to me.
So then I go on the internet, I went back to the room and I went on Facebook
and I saw a friend request and she was holding a bass guitar.
Why not?
And then, right, what happened from there?
Well, he started chatting with me.
I did.
I had friends on Facebook, people that I like as well.
So he was like chatting with me and then he wanted to meet me.
Didn't I invite you somewhere?
You invited me to Costa Rica or whatever.
I'm like, no, I have a life.
What did I invite you there to do?
To do what?
To play bass with you.
To go jam.
Oh, to jam with me.
I said, why don't you come up to Costa Rica with me?
I didn't even know her.
Anyhow, then we met actually a year later and it was kind of like, oh.
Another thing I got to ask you because, now suddenly [F] I'm interviewing you, it's ridiculous.
But I want to ask you for real because I have the thing with Adrian and I was a huge Iron Maiden fan.
I'm aware of it.
I kind of play in the band.
Smartass.
Were you ever a Steve Harris fan?
Yes, absolutely.
Actually, when I was [A] 13, maybe 14, I started playing the bass.
When I was 13, I saw them [B] in concert for the first time.
I listened to Steve Harris.
It was in Atlanta.
Actually, in the radio in Brazil.
In Pennsylvania, I went to an Iron Maiden concert in Allentown Fairgrounds with my buddy.
We were like 13 or 12 or 13.
It was insane.
My friend thought he was going to go deaf because he left his ears ringing.
He said to my mom, is my hearing going to come back?
Am I ever going to hear it right again?
One of [F#m] the funniest moments, we're rocking up in the band and [N] everyone's smoking weed.
And the joint comes and my mother sticks her hand out, takes the joint right around me,
around my friend, and passes it down the line.
It was crazy.
Exactly.
Oh my God.
Demarzio was one of my very first endorsements.
And I remember driving up from Philadelphia to New York, doing one of my first major photo shoots.
And it's just been a great relationship.
But one night, we were at dinner fairly recently.
And I'm sitting there, I'm like, why isn't Julia playing Demarzio pickups?
So Larry sent a bunch of pickups down to the house and Julia made me swap them in and out.
A few of them.
Which is not fun.
Not a fun job for me.
But you're good at it.
I don't know.
You settled on that.
So what is it?
I settled on the 60s P because I think, I mean, I've been playing with a Precision bass now for,
I don't even know how long.
And I can do everything I kind of want with this bass, with the pickup.
It's super quiet.
And one thing that I noticed a lot, for me, depending on how fast I'm playing,
it's a little higher, closer to the strings.
And for me, my fingers are obviously always searching for [Am] the end, which is the pickup.
And it makes it faster for me.
It's helpful for me.
And I mean, I am Brazilian.
And I like to groove here and there, do a little ghost notes here and there and everything.
And not only this pickup is super quiet for that, and then you can actually hear those nuances.
And you know how it can get a little _ groovier.
Even though I'm playing rock a lot of times.
But, you know, the funk stuff, the groovy stuff, it just works for me.
And then for the P bass, look how sexy it looks [G] like.
I'm not even kidding.
It makes the bass look so much sexier.
It matches your frets.
[E] But what matters the most is that it actually works a lot for the purpose of this bass, the [Bm] precision.
For me, the warm sound, I can get groovy, I can get a little funkier.
And it just brings all these tones better, up, higher.
Brazilians don't have words, proper words.
Muito bom.
_ Recommend.
I'm going to tell you, we recorded some of the shows, and I was listening to the raw files.
And I isolated her bass, and I isolated my guitar.
And I was thinking to myself, well, she's playing songs that I wrote better than I'm playing.
