Ellen is a very lucky girl to have a father who teaches, supports and encourages her music skills.
O Yhees !
she will probably quit so its kinda wasted
@@spaghettisauce445 why do you think she’ll quit?
@@ashlynonline usually kids quit things
@@spaghettisauce445 why will she probably quit? I didn't get your point. She cleary enjoy playing bass, she will no quit... and this is a knowledge that she will never forget. It's possible for her to change her main instrument. but quit music? No.
When she laughs at the end of those riffs, it reminds me of the pure joy that comes with really nailing a riff or line. The fact that she’s able to experience that feeling at such a young age will do wonders for her growth. Whether she sticks with bass or not, if she keeps having fun while learning, she will go so far!
Isn't that just the most INFECTIOUS giggle she has?!? What an adorable little cutie!🤗🥰
Got to love the youth playing actual real instruments. Keep funking out.
She gives new meaning to the phrase, “slap happy!” Peace be with you both.
👍
@@davelindstrom6005 - I totally agree! Her father must be so proud! She's just a wonderful talented little girl!
Love the joy on her face when she completes each jam 😊
The smiles, the laughter, the playing....Just imagine having a Dad like this!!!
I salute her Dad for bringing her up so well to be an absolutely AWESOME bass player who plays with FEELING. Am full of respect for her
@@GilbertdeClare0704 I 'knew' from the age of 6 that i wanted to play the low notes, it was in my bones, that sound... my parents, for whatever reason wouldn't let me follow my dreams, follow that 'sound'. Didn't start playing 'til I was 21, self taught, had no idea. I'm now 65 & just getting the hang of it....Just imagine having a Dad like Ellen does - Inspires me in a way I can't put into words 👍
@@ajadrew DITTO brother. We are only a few years different in age, but right from first hearing Bill Wyman, Geezer Butler, I HAD that feeling. Got my Hohner a few years later, self taught to Golden Earring, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, then later with the kids.
I am SO in awe of Ellen's Dad doing it RIGHT, and when she was young and quick to learn.
My Dad was against "any noise", but don't blame him as he'd come through the War and just wanted some peace and quiet.
But yeah, JUST IMAGINE ! Stay safe my friend and keep on grooving to that lovely "in your belly" sound :)
@@GilbertdeClare0704 I'm just getting my Chromatic Mediants together - when you 'flip' a major scale you get a Phrygian scale, (C Major + C Phrygian) C Phrygian is the 3rd degree of Ab major so try using the Ab harmonies along side the C major harmonies...creates such interesting music 👍😊
@@ajadrew 👍👍👍will definitely give that a go my friend. MANY thanks😊😊
🤯Not sure what blows me away more. Her skill, or how much fun she is having! What an amazing talent!
I Always Say., Catch A Child Talent Early In Life & It.will.last.with,em A life Time! She is A Joy To Watch, Thank Dad..TIME we'll Spend together😊
@@troywells5532 apparently yours wasn’t writing.
Very very very good!
They each factor into her ability
her jokes!
I'm 62 and I've been trying to play bass for over 40 years. I can't master it no matter how hard I try. This young lady is amazing.
Keep it up man practice practice practice 😊🤘
Comes a point, try a different instrument? J/K we can't all be the bass player for "The Who"--not taking anything away from Ellen or her fave lines
Eu tenho 57 anos sempre gostei mas só à três anos atrás comecei a estudar mas não chego nem perto desta garota.
I am 63 an practice bass playing since 20 years. But i am far away from Ellens
It's not about how hard you try, it's about how long you try. Over the 40 years you played bass, how much of that time as a percentage did you spend practicing? If you haven't mastered it, you either have A) bad technique habits, that are fixable with strict patience. Or 2) You just simply never practiced enough for your brain and muscle memory to be primed with each other to play the instrument. If you keep practicing every single day, and I mean every single day, there will be improvement. Good luck my friend
Dad - I love your sweet encouraging coaching. It is touching and lovely to see. So much fun to see your growth, Ellen!
What an amazing young musician. Her hands are incredibly strong and could only get that way through hours of practice every day. Cheers to her and supportive father. What a great way to bond with your child.
Her playing and her own reaction to nailing Sir Duke (and man did she NAIL IT) was an epic unto itself. Ellen you are a true Jammurai
Jammurai 😂😂😂
Like get down, for sure!!!
I think track was on Sesame Street! 😊
I agree 100%. The only thing she needs to work on is her phrasing, but that'll definitely come with more experience.
Damn she put the smack down on Sir Duke. Awesome!!! I gotta get back to practice 🤦🏾
I am in shock each time I watch this kid. Her spirit is amazing and I love that her dad is teaching her respect for others. She has to know the other bassist name, album, and year. She will have an incredible music lexicon and history that will facilitate amazing growth. I am amazed by her skill but shocked those little hands can do that. Physically, it baffles me because as a guitarist, I know the reaches are hard for me as an adult, and a bass has even bigger frets. I am sitting here with large hands complaining, and this 9 year old has seemingly no limitations. She is playing it all with those tiny hands. Incredible!
I can relate. My hands are large, but I still struggle with the bass.
*@Lee Clements* Im no endocrinologist or biologist, not by a long shot. Just another someone who's read about how the difference in typing speed between men & women is _seratonin._ For men the average is 50-60 words per minute, whereas with women it is 70-90 wpm. I suspect that this "seratonin advantage" contributes significantly to Ellen's mind-blowing rapidity with those little fingers....
However, when I think for just a moment about the brute execution of veteran bassists Bernard Edwards, Nathan Watts & Louis Johnson (for example), it reminds me that there are people on both sides of the gender line who happen to be gifted with it. Incidentally, for this video Ellen matches the lightning speed of the masters, with Bernard's _Good Times_ bassline, & Nathan's _Sir Duke_ bassline
In my 22 years of electric bass it has mystified me how that six string guitar has always required more of my stamina, & seems to also demand more energy for me to consistently hold those tiny strings against the frets, without mistakes. Its counter-intuitive that the thicker strings of a bass with their increased tension would take less energy from me, & enable me to play for longer sets before tiring. Rapidity has always been my neverending quest; a challenge only attained by continuous practice ever week, & quickly diminished by muscle atrophy if I put the instrument down for just a few days
Best of Success to Ellen & her Dad. This world needs more fathers like him who are dedicated to their children's future, & willing to help them actualize their full potential, no matter what. God bless them both! 🎼🎶🎸❤❤
My daughter is 16 and has played flute for 10 years so I understand the commitment you make to become a great musician. You are beyond great and keep up the good work! Make sure you thank your parents for making it all possible, great job guys you have nurtured a very gifted young lady.
Flute is way more difficult then bass
I am totally blown away!!! Great playing. Please don't ever stop. You will bring joy to the world...
the sheer joy Ellen always shows in addition to her talent makes her absolutely my favorite young artist
Thats great my baby ellen my child lodi. . .haHA!🤘

Oh man!!, lovely, natural talent and full charisma!! wow!! Congratulations both of you!!
I LOVE How Ellen's Dad is not only Teaching her Music but also Teaching Her the HISTORY.
What A lucky Duck, Dad, Teacher, Band leader, Mentor. Already, adoring Fans. a little over whelming..
Yes - and teaching her respect for the musicians who went before and who were responsible for making these bass lines famous - all great values to learn.
I like the fact father and daughter do this together. What a wonderful gift to her, and wonderful example to the rest of us.
First time seeing one of your videos. Amazing skills! I'm an elementary school teacher, and love seeing kids excel in their craft! This was so heart warming!
One of the things I love most about this channel is the incredible relationship Ellen has with her father and the fact that she clearly LOVES playing!!
Lots of love here, and love bass, too
What a joy to see a young person who is so obviously having a blast. What talent!!!
Agreed
@@matwstuff 😄
Damn... take me back to the early 70's.... WAAAY too cool😎🎶💯✌️👍✔️
Does she still wear diapers ?
Oh sugar I’m in tears, God Bless You Little Angel! God Bless Your Precious Family!!!
🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
It is great that Ellen gives information about the music, bass player, the year has been recorded, the band name, the tone, type music. Besides she plays it all the way through. Thank you! Greetings from Tijuana! Her dad is a great teacher. Congratulations both!
I used to follow you because you were an impressive musician for your age… now I follow you because you’re a great bassist, period. It’s wonderful to watch your progression.
True. Me too. I can't even play Sir Duke so she's surpassed my abilities.
Really? She struggled to play every riff
@@enterpassword3313 did you see the size of her arms and hands? She's struggling because she's playing with strings with 6x her bodyweight in tension. Her play is clean, and I'm sure as she gets older and more physically strong, she'll be playing like Davie504. I think you're just hating because she's a better bassist at a fraction of the age xD
@@Overgis4058 im not hating, you even agree shes struggling smh
@@enterpassword3313 nah...negativity in a happy place....only a hater would do that
She is so confident and proficient, great to see her perform her favorite bass lines
Major CONFIDENC!!!!! No Fear
I love your spirit SO MUCH. Just having fun while being an amazing talent at the same time. AND being able to just laugh about it all. Love this!!!
Excellent, Ellen! Way to go throwing down great grooves and playing right in the pocket. It's apparent that you practice a lot and that you enjoy playing bass. Keep it up!
OMG the amount of quality time this dad spent with his daughter to teach her all this stuff. Wow. This is just absolutely amazing. And this kid has got some serious skills!!! Props to the both of them.
This is the most awesome thing I’ve seen in a while. Great job, keep it up! And great job dad, supporting and encouraging her! Great taste in music by both of you. John Deacon is a legend
Ellen, you are truly an inspiration to us all! Love the string Tone and EQ setup on your Bass & Amp! Thanks
This young lady is amazing! She exudes a natural joy playing the bass that is infectious and I smile ear to ear when she is playing. Reminds me of Tal Wilkenfeld who played with Jeff Beck. Hat's off to her Dad who expertly encouraged her without pressuring her.
I was thinking the same thing. I couldn't think of Tal’s name. Thank you!
girl, not lady how old do you think she is
@@tbhc415they literally said *young* lady but ok. not rlly something to get upset over either
She is absolutely adorable. And she has Skills! But the best part is the joy and laughter she brings to her art. Her parents can be very proud.😊
Thanks for always showing that music is supposed to be fun. Keep smiling, girl. You always pick up my spirits.
this is just fantastic, what a great team, you must all be so proud ! congrats
Every time I see this girl I'm blown away by how much she feels the bass. She's amazing.
RIght? She's not good for kid. She's good, period.
Every time I've watched an Ellen video I leave with a smile because her smile is so infectious and her playing is so good!
She's so smart !
Yeah .
Yeah, she's lovely! But everytime I see her playing, I think how a bad player I am!!
I can’t help but smile when I watch her videos!
I think she got her future secured..great work!
You made my day... I could not stop smiling... just looking at you and the joy you have playing the bass guitar...
Thank you both so much for sharing her talent. The world so needs more people like you both.
She's really becoming a well rounded player! I love to see her concentrate so much and the joy she exudes playing and when she gets something challenging right.
I don't know what is more beautiful, the way of playing, the passion and love she has for what she does, the girl herself who is so tender and sweet, her father's guidance, the memory she is building or all of them. previous. You're great and very good, Ellen!! I take this opportunity to wish you Merry Christmas and a happy year 2023

💯
🥰
Nice words… true ✨🙏
You said exactly what I was thinking.
Impressive & I can see you REALLY enjoy playing and get excited after you do a great job on some of the tougher music pieces - fun to see you play!
I've been playing for thirty-three years and I'm proud that someone so young is doing so well. Keep it up.
This video blew my “my hands are too small” excuse right out of the water. HOW.DARE.YOU? 😂 Thanks for allowing us to share in your joy of playing - the most infectious groove on the whole video.
Pedophile.
Awesome! I love your choices and the way nailed them, especially Sir Duke! Utterly delightful!
Ellen, you have become my all-time favorite bass player! It is such a joy watching you play with such skill and finesse! Love watching you have fun doing what you do. There is none like you! And what a fantastic dad!
Not only an outrageously good player for her age, she seems like a sweetheart of a kid to boot! Great job dad!!!!
Who wouldn't want her as a daughter? She's precious 💞!
Greatest daughter-father bass duo on TH-cam! Thank you Ellen for the beautiful playing and the passion for great music, and thank you Dad for supporting Ellen's musical journey!
These days, too many parents put a cell phone into the hands of their children to keep them occupied. This is an example of a much much better choice.
definetely the only daughter-father bass duo on youtube
..., Realmente uma grande alegria ver uma jovem tão hábil com mãos divinas e memória idem !!! 👍👏👏👏👏👏💥💥💥🎼🎵🎶
Humor e sorriso 💓💥🔥😊
EXCELLENT! Keep up the good work and great bass playing little lady, you're going places! Your enthusiasm is contagious. You inspire me, and I'm 60 yo. God bless you.
What a little precious sweetheart! She is going to go loooong and far! Her personality, her talent, and her memory is unmatched!
I pray a most wonderful life for this little gem!
❤☮
Holy cats!!!! What a ray of sunshine! Everyone is crediting her parents, which is perfectly appropriate, but the fact that she puts in the work, willingly, is inspiring. 🧡💛
A comment for the algorithm and a huge shout out to Hovak for not letting dust settle on great music from the past. Long will the music live and be passed along by Ellen to a new generation of musicians!!
What a joy you are to watch and listen to! Thanks for spreading positivity and sharing your talent.
She is charismatic and intelligent. Musical talent was born with her. Wonderful girl. Impressive. 12:00
Keep crushing it Ellen!felt your joy after nailing each one 🎉🎉
wow girl! You are incredible I love your music
Fantasic video, how someone with hands so small can play like that on a full scale bass is beyond me! All this talent & she is also just a lovely, grounded kid, real credit to her parents .
Love it Ellen, not only great playing, but also contagious joy!
You're killing it Ellen, Big thumbs up!
This video is proof u can play an instrument with small hands and short fingers. No bloody excuses 👍
yeh but, yeh but ...... i think most of those basses are not a full-length fretboard
This girl brightens my life. It amazes me that a 10-year-old girl has the same favorites as me, a 59-year-old. Music unites generations.
Such a good spirit ! Thanks 🙏 The last line was insane Ellen ! 🙌
Absolutely adorable, smashing playing Ellen. Let's hope you keep up this wonderful instrument.
So talented. Her parents must be so proud. Also kudos to said parents for allowing her to follow her dreams.
and also not money hungry abiut the channel..
What a blessing it is to have a father who encourages your talent and teaches you. Ellen you are such a wonderful bassist. And your personality is bigger than your bass! Keep playing sister!
Let's just say we have no information on that.
JESUS
Ellen you are awesome ! Your energy is amazing - keep having fun!
Even at my age you're such an inspiration for me Ellen. My hat is off for your Dad who is not just in his daughter's life, but a huge supporter. Yes of course I have subscribed with all the bells to be rang!
The title should be called “Ellen Jams Out of Her Mind”. She is such a joy to watch, the skill, the personality, everything. She’s AWESOME!!!!
This kid is INCREDIBLE!!! The most amazing thing to realize is that she will get exponentially better as the years go on.
Ellen, you are so gifted and talented, and love to hear and see you play. Love your killer attitude. Whatever you do, don't you ever stop.😊
Thank you for sharing your talent with us and I wish you the very best in your future! You brought back some of my old school memories...keep it up! 👍
I just love Ellen's Joy of Music! She doesn't just know the songs, she knows the history behind the songs, too! Thanks to Ellen and her great parents. Your videos always brighten up my day.

Thanks for the video. Very inspiring and great (and terrible) dad jokes!!!
Thanks. This is what I was looking for
metallica didnt sue the fans, they banned them from napster. shitty but different
@@xOzymandias Not from US but a lawyer. Since napster was a P2P program when you sue napster you sue the Peer to Peer under it. There is no file sharing without the file on the pc, the network acess and the user.
@@rodolfoboimarinho6504 names of people were used as evidence. Users were never taken to court, required lawyers or fined.
@@rodolfoboimarinho6504 Not true, if portal does shady practicse, you sue the portal. There is thousands of covers of Metallica songs, nobody gets sued here. Napster got profit off of it so...
Fantastic Ellen. Your skill is immense but even more so is your smile which makes the music you play even more beautiful.
What a delight!! I got excited watching you get excited! Be blessed. Be awesome.
Gosh it's just so fun to watch Ellen play and grow in music! Love her enthusiasm and positive energy.
So talented and adorable. I noticed that dad didn't make her say the name of the album for "Give It Away". I felt you on that dad 😊😊
I'm so happy TH-cam suggested one of your videos to me. (Not this one - I found this when I went looking for more!)
Obviously everyone can see her technical skills. I would add (hopefully others have before me) that her time is excellent - crucial for a bass player!
It's so amazing to witness this high-level playing from such an adorable young person. I just want to give her a high five, and a big hug!
I hope she never loses the joy she obviously feels when playing music. Whether she becomes a professional or not is kind of beside the point - as long as she enjoys playing, she'll be on the right track.
You’re amazing, Kiddo!! Keep it up! Can’t wait to see you in stage one day! You’re such a little rocker!!
I’m learning bass now at 44 years old and am loving it!
I am speechless. All those great bass lines nailed perfectly and she's having so much fun!
Ellen is 100% talent, 100% joy, 100% charm. Never seen or heard anything like this before.
You go girl! 🤗
I'm impressed by how knowledgeable she is with her music. Well done kiddo! By the way Ellen, your stage presence is awesome! Your little smile can light up the darkest of rooms😊😀🥰
I really enjoyed your excellent playing of these classic bass lines!!!
She is progressing very quickly indeed but her unmistakable feature is the sheer joy she shows whilst playing!
well shes like 9
@@sooparticular True that but for some children learning music is a chore put upon them by their parents. In her case, it is a real pleasure, highlighted by the complicity between her and her father :)
@@MEGAMIGA of course!! im a teacher and I was just saying that 9 10 11 12 year olds I have all have a ton of joy!1 no kid I teach guitar and bass ...are forced into it
She has such a mature feel to her playing. Kudos to Dad for being such a force in her life!
thats that neuroplasticity that young people have. they are geniuses at learning if they are interested in something enough
It takes a lot of strength to play the bass. It is amazing how great her technique is.
Brilliant Ellen I enjoyed it all👏🏻👏🏻thank you for brightening my day xxx❤️
Seeing the joy in her face as she plays make me cry with happiness. So pure, so free.
I bet flea ihas a huge smile on his face seeing you play his slap bass riffs so well.
Don't make us picture Flea's smile.
I do and I have a nice smile
Sweet Ellen, you did absolutely great. Please give your dad a hug for being such a great musical teacher, coach and parent, and your mother for helping you and dad to do this.
Ellen is one of the most delightful souls ever, and her talent is way beyond all measure. Hugs & Cheers from Montana. XX
best bass top 10 EVER!! such joy and fun. love the playing :))!! and how much it reminds me of my youth when i nailed a bassline and the joy it brings! keep going !!!
Ellen, your bass playing is incredible! I love your enthusiasm for music; your emotion is so raw whether you have just powered through a difficult selection, or you have just correctly guessed the year of release of a song that is "old". I love that emotion that you share with us; your love of music is shining through and I believe that you are going to do very well in your future musical career, whether you are creating the music on paper, or creating the music with your fingers. Never lose your love for music and keep that joy and laughter flowing through you wherever you go; it's very contagious. You brighten my day, whenever I get to hear you play.
Ellen is an angel. There is no other explanation for her. She somehow escaped the kingdom and made her way to this Little Rock, so she could make people smile. Succeeded. I’m a fan for life.
She's so good and has such a great attitude and her soul shines through. She brings me so much joy. It brings tears to my eyes. God bless you!
I'm endlessly entertained by her joy and genius. Thank you.
Fabulous and great camera work (because it's so simple...no fancy angles, etc.!).
This girl is incredible. She has so much fun playing bass. I hope and wish, she will remain like this and nothing in the world will ever change her attitude to music in general. Good luck and great success little lady, I'm watching you. One day you will be one of the best.
So nice
I get as much joy from Ellen's happy attitude and smile as I do her playing. So young and yet so accomplished. I can't wait to hear her in 10 years. What a pro. Thanks dad!
I’m truly amazed at her talent. Playing the bass with small hands and short arms is extremely difficult. Good for you Ellen
its like a trip down memory lane she is fantastic keep up all your grate work
Every one I watch makes me smile and giggle, thank you.
I have been teaching fretted instruments for 20 years and you are so impressive!!! You are already at the level of most professional musician and to think how you will be in another 10 years, absolutely amazing!!! Keep practicing!!!
Just look at the joy in her face! The look you get when you feel what you play, and boy can she play! I had to subscribe. Amazing work , dad and daughter! My hat is off to you both!
Awesome! Great to see such a dedicated and talented musician starting early in life!
This is so adorable! I love how much fun she seems to be having.
You just don’t see the pure joy and sparkle in her eyes in young people much anymore. It’s such a pleasure listening to her play, she’s having a blast! 👏
