#EllenPlaysBass #Funk #BassGuitar - เพลง
Her father is an excellent musician and a fantastic teacher. They're so patient with each other. She never gets frustrated. I am so impressed with them.
Me too. I like when her father plays along with her because he’s excellent on guitar.
Cuteness overload so great that her dad is spending the time to teach her this craft, so happy to see her enjoy music and be able to laugh when learning and not get too frustrated and angry. You go girl!
This guy is the coolest dad with the coolest daughter!
She is incredible, such a fast learner. She has a great Dad and instructor who is a great musician. 👍
Very few dads get to spend this kind of quality time with their kids. It's heartwarming to watch you too.
She has such an infectious smile I just love it, I grin from ear to ear every time I see her play. Thanks Dad for noticing her gift and teaching her this.
Love how she used one string to start to find the note. Then worked back the fretboard to find the notes on the other strings. And a more efficient way to play it. Fantastic vid.
Love this. Learning by ear only. Such a good way to connect the note sound to the brain to the string.
What a daddy and daughter relationship! You are so lucky and happy! Wish you all the best from Hungary!
ELLEN RULES!
This practice session is incredible! Ellen learned in 22 minutes what it would have taken most advanced high school or college-age bassists at least several hours of concentrated practice to learn. And yes, I realize she has the benefit of a professional musician father and all of the advanced studio technology he has at his disposal. But even so, 10-year-old Ellen's learning curve is flatter (read: more accelerated and progressive) than almost any musician I've had the pleasure of witnessing. Friends, you're watching a born musician in the making! Thank you, Ellen and Hovak, and please post more of these uncut song-learning videos! 👍💯🤙
My 4 yr old daughter and I love watching Ellen together! She’s paving the way for next generation musicians
Much Fun
I love Ellen's joy at learning some thing new, especially as she figure's it out her self! I wonder what the future hold for her and hope she never looses that spark!! ROCK ON ELLEN!
She’s just so funny.
Just a joy to watch her learn and play.
My #1 favorite thing about her is that she doesn't seem to get frustrated about making mistakes. She giggles it away and tries again until she's mastered the part. I know that when I was learning music, I would have been angry with myself and maybe even walked away from it for an hour, a day, maybe even a week if I was really struggling with a piece. Watching her, I see that she's just having fun with it and correcting things as they happen. It's wonderful to see. I could be wrong, but it also seems like she's playing by ear, which is awesome, but makes it difficult to remember where the changes occur, like at the end of that drum solo. She's already awesome, imagine how incredible she's going to be as she grows in her skills and knowledge of music and her instrument. ❤️
Keep smiling, keep giggling, and keep loving your music! 🎶
One of the best ways to get better is to actually embrace your mistakes and move forward. I have been doing that since I started with Yousician. I don't mind making mistakes as I learn from them, and it helps me to improve my playing the next time I play the exercise.
In a way I can relate to her determination. I started playing trumpet when I was 9. My motivation (and I think hers) is to make my parents proud. Fast forward I now play every treble clef brass horn. From trumpet to E-flat Euphonium to Double French Horn. My claim to fame is I play in Jimmy Sturrs Polka. I think she'll far surpass that.
Her English is great, but also love to hear her speaking her mother tongue
In any event what a precious girl!!
I didn't have any idea what syncopation was when I was her age - I grew up on strictly straight rhythms, when people were hung up on "1 & 3" instead of "2 & 4." And then I heard for example "I Got the Feeling" by James Brown and "It's Only Love" by The Beatles with its great drum part, and everything changed. The light bulb suddenly went off over my head. But she's all over these syncopated grooves, and she picks them right up, and that's a lot of what her playing employs. Very impressive, and at her age - incredible. But you combine her musical skills with her beaming enthusiasm and infectious personality, and you're looking at a definite winner.
Best father daughter team. Love to watch the symbiosis flowing.
Her laugh is what its all about man - the talent is already there but without the joy - there is nothing - what a great kid and dad i
Where does all this joy and happiness in this girl come from ? I wish I had a fraction of it ! Even when she screws up she's laughing !
LOVE!
NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF BEING ABLE TO LAUGH AT YOURSELF THE KEY TO HUMILTY
What a great father!
I just love how Ellen is always smiling and how she looks up at her Dad as if to say.. Did I do that right ? Keep playing Ellen. You have a great dad to spend time with as you are learning to play.
Great job Ellen and Dad! So much talent and so much fun at the same time! Ellen you learn so fast!
So sweet, she is just a delightful young lady. Pay attention Dad's! This is a great dad, doesn't push her, but this interaction and sharing time with your daughters is SO important!! Find something you both love and ask to spend time with them..heart warming.
The best video on TH-cam. Father and daughter who love each other. Dad puts in the work and we all share in the joy.
OMG..... this takes me back. It's so wonderful seeing the joy she has playing music. Just wonderful!!!
That giggle... is the sign she is hooked.
Watching your dad teach and go over it with you is amazing and seeing you catch on to it, Very cool, Very well done Ellen, Your playing along with your laughter and smiles brightens the room and are contagious 😌👍thanks
I love this SO much .. the frustrations .. looks on her face .. all of it! As a bass player that plays by ear .. I can SO empathize here.
It's so great that you show her to listen for herself and try to figure it out. When I was young and learning to hear notes, I'd sit at the piano for hours on end and match melodies and harmonize chords until I got them correct. Now that I am older, all that work I did when I was young has made playing bass a lot easier and enjoyable. Being able to just pick up a bass line, the chord progression, or groove can help open up your playing a lot! Great job!
just watching her laugh and totally enjoy herself with her dad is priceless
EVERYONE LOVES LITTLE ELLEN ... SHE IS AWESOME !!!
The pure joy on her face when she’s playing says it all. You Sir, are a fantastic Father.
Ellen doesn't give up, keeps trying. Extraordinary patience for a young girl. Also her excitement when she's touched ground within her accomplished tract, is funny. This girl highly probable will be within arenas, in future.
She will be playing arenas. She has all of the qualities of a great musician; raw talent, loving help, and most importantly, Joy in playing and learning. Nothing can stop that.
Now that's what i love seeing kids do.. Learning how to play real instruments and learning songs. Now that's awesome good job Ellen. Very Good job.. 👌😃😎
I don’t know why I get so much satisfaction out of watching her try and succeed. It’s great.
A total joy 😁
We live vicariously through her natural talent.
Watching her figure it out.....using her ear......amazing. Great job Dad!!!
I love her facial expressions, she's so enthusiastic! That's the way it should be, love your craft and always have fun!
Omg so pretty 😁😁😁😁😁😁 amazing, that God bless this lovely family
Father & Daughter are such a great team. Puts a smile on my face. :) ....and her smile is infectious ;)
This is true. I'm 30, and my father and I still love to jam.
Oh yeah! An adorable experience watching Ellen coming to grips with a new piece. Ellen, Ellen, your joy is the medicine we all need. Thank you.
Bass Like A Girl!! Love it! 🤘
What a cool privilege to watch a musical genius learn... that was so easy for her if you are looking for a talent for the world to see ... Ellen is it .. she makes me want to play a bass and I'd be happy like her..I think my guitar is going out the window and I'll pick up a bass... Maybe that little next thru one ... That would be quite a collectors I thought and looked like it played like butter with that mini little neck scale even more like a guitar than a bass.. the perfect combination., Forever an Ellen fan
Ellen & her dad work great together, kool, she really enjoys it & learns fast for her age.... when she laughs it cracks me up....lol 😂
Some pretty tricky bass lines for Ellen. She’s picking it up like a boss. You go girl!
Dear Ellen, never had so much fun practicing a new song with you and your Dad. It was a nice Sunday morning, learning this funky song together with you. Never though of having a 12 year old as role model (since I am 44 years older than you). Stay as friendly, funny & funky as you are. All the best to you and your family from Germany
Incredibly delightful and talented girl. She's lucky to have such a patient dad letting her just learn on her own. Respect!!!
There needs to be a lot more Ellen's in the world. She is so adorable and naturally talented.
I was surprised at how many virtuoso kids are out there. I saw a Japanese boy on Ellen DeGeneres playing an Ozzy song perfectly. You could barely see him behind the guitar. Hahaha.
It is so cool to see someone of such prodigious talent going through exactly the same process and method of learning a new song by ear as I have since I was a kid. I'm literally an old man now but I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see her enjoying the process and her determination to get it right. A big difference between her and me is that when she messes it up she lets out a squeal and a giggle whereas I am more likely to cuss😂. It is such a pleasure to watch the two of you and appreciate the patience which you both exhibit and I hope you can keep at it for many years to come.
I can be having the worst day, in the worst mood and this kids laugh and smile shines a little ray of sunshine on my grumpy butt 👍♥️🎸
Such a good exercise and again greater to have daddy working with you.. Ellen's hear will get so sharp in a few months. Bravo...
Sooo love the patience you have with her. Makes Learning fun.
I think we're all witnessing the beginning of something incredible. Glad I found these vids!
She has the most delightful squeal when she finally gets a new phrase.
Hovak, you are a wonderful teacher! Ellen, you are an amazing student!! So much fun to watch!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
I learned bass, with my headphones on, and my bass plugged into the stereo. AC/DC were my first lessons. This is a beautiful way to learn.
What a great Dad - he pushes and encourages her progress. Little Ellen " Got the Funk " - she is my new favorite You Tube Bass-player. Imagine what she will eventually become? (if she is already this good) - Sky's the limit.
Watching her giggle when she makes a mistake says volumes about her frame of mind .It also speaks about her loving father's patience. I so look forward to watching this beautiful flower bloom as she progresses. Please keep us posted!
That was such a joy to watch, the look on her face when she gets it is priceless. She is amazing.
Ellen - as always I enjoy watching you learn and seeing your talent grow. You are so far ahead of the game in talent and skill... with your fun attitude toward learning - little screams of frustration and laughter. I am sure that you know this, but your father's talent and grace in his teaching style is a rare and wonderful gift from which you benefit. It is also the case that many years from now these videos will be wonderful memories of great times you spent together. Wishing you and yours happiness, health, joy, and success. Dad - you're pretty awesome! :)
Pink strings! I like it! That bass is bigger than she is. Reminds me of my younger brother who, after being given the opportunity of learning to play the instrument of his choice at school chose the tuba. He was only 12 at the time and the tuba was bigger than he was!
The light blue bass she plays is a short scale. The one she plays later in the video is a full scale bass.
@@susiemuirhead561 Yes, having looked again I can see the difference in size. The second one is definitely bigger than she is!
I enjoy watching her learn.
Her enthusiasm is awesome!!
Wonderful! ❤
I enjoy listening and watching Ellen to play as much as she does.
This is awesome watching Ellen play by ear with a little instruction from her father! Seeing her having fun while she’s learning is fantastic!
I love watching her play! She's having so much fun and that laugh & smile is priceless! So very talented!! "Keep playing music, you gotta keep playing music, man! If you don't, I'll come looking for ya!" A quote from Eddie Van Halen! A promise from me! Rock Hard!! Play Harder!!
✌😎🎸🎶🎶💕
Just beautiful, please don't stop playing.
gosh, I could watch her and pops play for hours. reminds me of when my girls were little. it's some of the most precious times a kid and a dad can have.
Working hard while having fun is the best way to learn. Ellen is talented, no doubt, but she was born into the right family. Her father is doing a great job helping and encouraging her.
Pink strings and blue body. The Best of both worlds put together. 🤘
Her laugh is the best part of every one of her videos. She has such fun playing bass!! I hope she never loses that feeling! :)
I was a drummer for 37 years...I wish I would have gotten to jam with you...a quality bass player is essential, and you are, at 9 years old , are high quality. Keep up the good work and keep having fun
I have been drummer (and bass player as also) for something 25 years and am curious to ask why you say "I was a drummer" - did something stop you for drumming or how?
@@mikakettunen7939 I have a disease that effects my bones and muscles. They deteriorated to the point it causes severe pain when I try to play
@@careystarr4641 Dang, thats rough. Sorry for your loss. No idea what I'd do with myself if I was to be unable to play :-(
@@sveinstmobekken2175 I continue to write songs. I met a guitar player who knows what I am hearing in my head and puts music to them...it keeps me going
Started playing bass at the age of 57 with a very good Tutor, but if i see how fast and easy you are learning i want to smash my bass against the wall .. No serious.. You are such an Inspiration! Thx for sharing your lessins with us.
This is more than Ellen just learning the bass. She clearly enjoys it, but you can see she loves spending time with her father. This will always be there and will carry over to other relationships she forges.
I love how she has patience with herself and the learning process. I used to teach hand drumming (darbuka) and very, very few students would have the patience to slowly work through a song like this. They seemed to want instant gratification with essentially no effort.
I find myself wondering where Mom is during these moments… is she hiding behind the door listening with her fingers crossed? Love this family!! The learning, the playing and the pure joy we all get watching and listening to this combo!!!
So wonderful to see her love of playing and joy when she succeeds. What an beautiful, uplifting video.
Oh my god that smile when she get's it right, priceless! If that doesn't make your day, nothing will.
This is my go-to channel for happy smiles, after reading about Ukraine. You TWO are wonderful-awesome !
This is incredible. I love the energy she has, so happy and joyful. Im in awe at the amount of musical talent she has. I always wanted to be able to listen to a riff and be able to play it back without trying find tabs
It's great to see a father spending some quality time with his daughter.
She's simply AMAZING SUCH A HAPPY TALENTED YOUNG LADY JUST LOVE IT GREAT JOB DAD YOU SHOULD BE VERY PROUD
That is pure joy to watch. More and more please.
Music is the great unifier and love is the great teacher. Talent and determination reaps rewards and a Fathers love is invaluable in the process.
Hehe....she learns quickly and has a lot of fun doing it. Just nice to watch you
having fun here is a key. She;s great and props for dad of course
Teaching her to play by ear. That is awesome. I have learned many songs this way on guitar without tab or sheet music. When I did get the tabs or sheet music I ended up being one note off of the entire song. As long as she is having fun that is all that matters. She is definitely an inspiration to us all.
Such a joy to see her so excited and so talented. I’m working with my granddaughter on the bass. The world needs more Ellens on bass.
Ah yes, developing that ear..We've all done it .Keep it up, Ellen!!!
This girl is great ! She is going places.
Самая очаровательная бас гитаристка и большой талант!
LOVE how you speak Armenian with each other
I learned along with you! Keep that cute giggle and smile!
This is the 2nd hour I found you and Ellen, and thrilled to watch, listen, and share with my friends list.
Ellen is so determined and happy to learn with you.
A super bright future for life...
Nicely well done.
Its a joy to see that smile on this kids face ....priceless 😇 💯
Pure JOY!!!
It's a beautiful thing to see a child learning. Thank you for sharing.
40 Years younger than me and 40 times more talented. Ellen Your Awesome
I love Ellen's happy personality. She obviously enjoys playing, and she enjoys working with her Dad.
And I love the hat with ears.
😄
