    what non guitarists and bassists need to know about this, is just how EXHAUSTING playing such a bass line is. It's playing every note in perfect time at 92bpm in a finger style without your hand going into a spasm. It takes great technique and a relaxed hand and a LOT of practice. superb stuff Ellen!

      @@TheJbenwaa It's not as difficult to learn as it seems, it's mostly the same sequence repeated over and over, the difficulty is not in doing it once, but doing it again and again and again for almost four minutes.
      I think it may stump some bass players because it's more like a guitar riff than a bass riff.

      Yeah the hand cramps are the worst haha. Bass definitely wears out your hand and arm muscles more just due to the gauge of the strings and thicker neck.

    This bassline is ABSOLUTELY RELENTLESS on the fingers. No breaks. Nonstop 8th notes and moving all over the neck the entire time. To do this flawlessly as an adult is high level bass playing. To do it as an 11 year old is stunning.

    From my eyes and my ears…. Flawless! I am more and more impressed with every video. As a bass player, I cannot commend you enough. The other day I was having a conversation about favorite players and when it came to bass I said Billy Sheehan, Dana Strun, Ellen Alaverdyan, Geddy Lee and that’s in no particular order. This Muse song isn’t easy to play and you just made it look like it was cake. Girl, keep it going. You are a phenom. And you are doing something very special. Mad love to dad, I think it is absolutely amazing what you do and your role in Miss Ellen’s growth. Keep the focus and keep playing, everything… pop to metal to jazz to Latino to east listening, everything… every song you learn, will teach you more and more. It could be something as simple as a Poison song banging on 3rd fret E string to something from Flea. I am very proud of and I am super excited to see where you go. Congrats kiddo, you are well in your way to greatness!
