    🌹As Ellen plays this song, it's her bright smile eliminating her eyes , those Magic Fingers dancing across the strings . The way she moves and stands in her own style, will make you recognize, the joy that she brings 🌹

    Hey Ellen, I just started playing the bass at 68 years of age. You inspired me by your talent. I watch many of your videos to capture your fingering technique on the fret board. You are really a super player and you also have a wonderful dad/coach. I will always be one of your super fans. TTUL 😎

      Hello Peter, I want to talk about an other topic. Two weeks ago I stumbled on a girl band from Mexico, named the WARNING. And the youngest girl plays the bass guitar , just like this little girl doing. First seen in 2013 same size as her. But how I experienced music from all over the world, The Japanese started girl bands, and they are pretty good on drums. But they are not my taste, bass playing? Yes finally, don’t have to look for real talents. Just look at her, enjoying playing, and even smiling but I bet that guitar is taller than her. What a pleasure to watch it!

    • @randallmacdonald4851
      @randallmacdonald4851 Před 2 lety +4

      I don't think she is playing by written music. I believe, like most bassists, she plays by ear. Her fingers know where to go. Her feet keep time and what she hears lives in her head.

      She was born to it, with 24 hour inspiration. Most children find their inspiration outside of their homes, usually once in school and around other children. Ellen started at birth practically. She seems also to be surrounded by love and happiness. It's infectious.

    She just loves playing that bass, doesn't she? And it's almost as long as she is tall! Loved the walking bass line parts - she was doing it by feel, too, rather than watching her left hand. She's good now, but she'll be great when her hands get a little bigger! Fun to watch. Thanks, Ellen, you rock!

  • @Fayanora
    @Fayanora Před 5 dny +1

    Fantastic! Such enthusiasm and passion, truly remarkable! Great form and commitment, every time one of these videos comes up. No, really! Each video of yours I watch fills me with joy, like I'm a kid myself all over again. Love having my day brightened by such talent and fun. You have a great career ahead of you, I'm sure. Surely we will see you collaborating with the big names some day the way Nandi Bushell is. Can't wait to see it, either. Especially would love to see a collaboration between two talented kids like you and her, but that might be difficult as Nandi is British. So I'll just have to keep watching and hoping. For now, keep being awesome!

    When my daughter was 12 and playing the sax in the school jazz band, she said she had trouble with time signature.
    I found the problem. All the students were holding their instruments as if in a row of statues.
    I asked her if the instructor would let them move.
    "Move?" she said...
    Yeah, move to the groove. I showed her how I play guitar when playing with band mates.
    You gotta move...
    Next time at school concert, she was rocking her knees and swaying the hips and that girl was TIGHT with the rythym. She was the show that day and got through her solo with absolute SASS.
    Ellen has the sass too. Its in her giggle.

    You absolutely got that nailed, girl! It does my old heart good to see you having so much fun with the music! It reminds me of my younger days (daze?) when everything about music was exciting and fun to do. ALWAYS keep it fun and exciting, Ellen. Thank you and your family for sharing your gift--and with you it IS a gift--of music with the rest of us. I say "gift", because without the gift--the talent--all the practice in the world would only yield mediocre results. Your talent and the work that you've put into developing that gift are exceptional. One would even correctly say that your talent is phenomenal. You are an inspiration and a blessing for sure.
    Continued blessings to you and those you love.
