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!
Agreed, my hand gets a cramp just watching it. Pretty incredible!
@@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.
Jupp. This is a monster bass line. I have learned it, but it took a LOT of time! But dang! it is fun to play when you know it!!!
I was exhausted just watching. I played bass when I was young (not that young) and it IS exhausting. That girl has talent (and stamina).
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.
I like to check back every now and then and see the latest comments.. Ihave to admit i have probably listened to this 50 times... I have been a fan since she first started and your right, its not only relentless and impressive, but just learning it was a challenge.
16th notes, even.
@@Charlie_B.and you played that when you were 11?
@@Charlie_B. nice another one.... well sir, you seemed to think that this 11 years old accomplishment was MEH. And then offered up something you said is so much more difficult. Thats my point. I can use pictures next time if that would help.
I can feel my Arthritis acting up.
She is definitely a prodigy. A great talent. Well done.
Espetacular. A mão quase não cabe no braço do baixo. Parabéns. Gratidão
She has been defined a prodigy by the legendary Earth, Wind and Fire. That Is enough.
I've heard many upcoming bass players playing Hysteria on CZcams and they do it well. The difference with Ellen is that she does it with flawless timing. All the time! So tight!
Best part of her vids is when she gets close to the end of a song and realizes she has nailed it and breaks out into that big smile. Such a ray of light. 👍
You knew that smile was coming. Wait for it.....
Agreed !!
Absolutely agree
Always anticipating 🤓
She does have that “ nailed it “ grin. But dang, Ellen’s going be 12 , I think. So much talent and spirit in this one. 👍👍
I hope she has a brighter future as a bassist. She enjoys doing what she loves here. And I also hope Chris Wolstenholme (Muse bassist) watches this and realises he's also an inspiration. That guy is really underappreciated. Great technique, stamina and tone. He once jokingly said: "I hate playing Hysteria. It hurts"
I'm sure it hurts. This song is a lot.Epic
This girl is going to be a BEAST when she grows up. What awesome technique. You go, girl!
Already a beast!!
I don't see a young girl playing the bass, I simply see a good solid musician that absolutely rocks
Hello my friend
I want to introduce a talented boy who is trying to become a musician with his own efforts. This boy is a guitar player and does taekwondo.
If you follow this boy's channel, you have given great support.
We are human and we should treat each other well
The name of the CZcams channel is...mani-xra🙏🙏🙏
what? she isn't a girl?
Are you seriously asking that? Ofcourse she is. You must be a troll.
@@SHERIPOTH I thought you were misgendering her as solid, sorry.
@@iantrolington6594 wow you're so hilarious. Bro got the whole comments section laughing 😒
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!
Ditto.....Ellen is absolutely amazing even from day one I agree 💯💯💯👍👍
What a beautiful message to this lil star!!
Great playing, Ellen! You are sounding amazing!
@@etiennecfourie777 Yeah, it's going to help her growth to tell her that she is # 3 in the world on bass !.
@@dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465 she's an accomplished musician and not a number!
She must be a bass player reborn! and was probably already very capable in her past life! Absolutely incredible!
Getting older I'm sure there will be 1000 music bands begging her playing bass with them...! Just now at this point Ellens skills are unbelievable - wow!!! Why not trying to meet Leland Sklar - the old man with his experience of 50 years playing the bass live and in the studio? He was the "Bass Man" playing often concerts with Phil Collins and many other superstars! I believe this could be a great gig!!! Chapeau, little lady - I'm sure you'll make your way! 😍
It’s not just her playing- it’s also her spirit and energy that makes her so wonderful. That smile melts icebergs.
That's the point. She's talented no questions. But the smile the passion. I wish her to keep it.
Fun! When it stops so does that special sound. Hard to keep up that energy and level of just having fun with it!
First thing, her tone is massive and crystal clear. I love it. Second, her fingerpicking is impeccably clean. Third, she's making that look effortless although I've no doubt she practices for hours daily or almost daily. She really is incredibly good.
I'll never forgive myself for not picking up bass when I was a kid because I was living in a rural area and being different was looked as something bad. this is insanely good.
A lot of Muse bass lines are trials of endurance. This kid's stamina is epic
I’ve worked on this song and it’s a marathon!
@@wb1065 Many times a "kid comes on the scene"; head scratcher as to how. Glad I've seen a bit of Ellen's journey.
People would think Hysteria is Muse’s ‘boss level’ bassline but it isn’t. It’s actually New Born. Still, Hysteria is a close second and it hurts to play. Kudos to Ellen!
@@aqimjulayhi8798 Young & nimble.
@@aqimjulayhi8798 I developed carpal tunnel syndrome and sadly had to give up on the bass never finishing my last challenge which was limelight by Rush. But have absolute respect for anyone willing to put in the work! Back to my first love, the drums 👍.
I'm 71 years old and play bass,...I hope to one day be as good as she is! WOW!!
It's very sad that you've been playing for 50+ years and can't play better than a little girl.
It's not a competition, is it?@@alexeypolevoybass
@@billstahlin1774 everything is a competition if you want to be at least half decent at your craft.
I guess we see things differently,...the bass guitar doesn't distinguish the age of the player. Check your ego!@@alexeypolevoybass
@@billstahlin1774 my ego is fine, just as my technique. But as for yours, they're both in very miserable state.
I'm sitting here watching this with tears in my eyes. You've restored a little of my faith in humanity. Seriously, mind blown! Your talent and dedication is like a breath of fresh air amidst the mind-numbing wasteland of social media dumbdumb 'influencers'. Forget the pointless trends and dance challenges, THIS is where the real magic happens! Kudos to you for reminding us what true talent looks like! You earned a subscriber today. Sometimes the CZcams algorithm gets it right.
Well said!
i agree completely tears in my eyes as well
With 456K subs I think it might be more of a blind squirrel finding a nut if it worked hard enough. Which brings us to why You Tube is so prideful to think their product has enough value to see subs for themselves too whilst never producing a paragon with consistency. Nope, she has that effect on everybody that watches and listens to her. She's not just good.
Kudos, kudos, kudos all around!!!! Unbelievable!
@@LiveToRidee me too! So cool!
The timing impresses me most. To have such precise timing at such a young age bodes very well for her musical endeavors.
Right in the middle of the note. Precision.
As a bass player that can play this song... she crushes it. The fatigue in the fingers is real on this and she makes it look easy. Very talented bass player right there.
Respect 👏
Bassist for almost 20 years, you absolutely nailed this
My God The talent and skill she has. Its incredible. This is one of the hardest base parts i've ever seen!
Omg that endurance..that skill .. hysteria is not an easy song ..and she's flawless
I’m impressed.
This looks so hard to play - but you are doing it like it was nothing. WOW ! I see very bright future for her
And then you watch some of her videos where she is practicing and you see how hard it really is. I guess she just puts tons of time and effort into it. I think that is what is unusual about her relative to most 11 year olds (and however old when she started).
@@NickRoman Yeah I know - I play the piano too - I spend 3 hours every day
@@NickRoman Agree. I can't get my 8 year old to spend 3 minutes a week to practice guitar...
@@nightmareTomek cause maybe guitar isn't the right instrument for the 8 years old
@@nightmareTomek maybe your kid doesn't like guitar? Why pushing it down their throat then?
i never once seeing 11 yr old girl was able to hit on bass and she did it seamlessly, hey Mom or Dad of Ellen, if you happen to seeing my comment, tell your daughter that she has done well and keep up the good work she did bro
As a drummer speaking kudos to you and would absolutely love to have a bass player as yourself young lady! Keep at it, you are already uber talented, the sky is not even the limit for you!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👊
This young lady has a lot of talent. I'm a bass player and I watch other young musicians in covers, but this girl really has a big difference in her way of playing the bass guitar. Incredible.
Yup, it’s this God given timing. It’s so perfectly balanced, it almost sounds ordinary, but it is not, her timing is incredible, it’s so musical.
Vote 10 for the choice of the song
Vote 10 for the perfect execution (and not easy for very young fingers)
Rated 10 for that hair, too cool
Rated 10 for that happy smile
Rock On Girl!!! 🤘🏼❤🤘🏼
That looked really tricky yet you just performed it brilliantly. Way to go Ellen.
a m prom indonesia god job ellen
Incredible talent - such a joy to watch and listen to. And the reward of her cute, cute smile at the end. Bravo, Ellen.
I'm hearing notes that I've never noticed before. Genius bassline cover. 11 years old!!!?? What a fantastic future she deserves 👏
In my humble opinion that's probably one of the trickier arrangements to play. The fact that you went for 4 minutes at that pace brings only one word to my mind. OUTSTANDING!!!
As a bass player, and like so many others have already said, this bassline is a KILLER! My hands got tired watching you! Amazing job as always, Miss Ellen! I have loved watching you develop and grow in your musical journey! Keep it up, young lady! You are a STAR!
STUNNING, just stunning. The stamina it takes to play a song like that, without a break whatsoever, is why Ellen will be a world class player. She actually already is....😁
I have no idea whether she can play this without a break, or how many times it took her to play this even _with_ breaks
You've clearly never tried to play “New Born”, that one is a real stamina exercise.
Happy Father's Day to the man behind such an amazing musician. It's your support and love that owes some credit to her abilities and confidence, but most importantly the love of music you share and the relationship you both have 👍
My father left :(
😢😢😢 she's pure class..!!! Naturally gifted❤❤❤
@@thatguy6468Is that why you're a bit crap?
@@thatguy6468 - My deepest condolences to you regarding your father. If you can't play WITH him, maybe you could play FOR him, in his memory. Use the music to keep him alive and present in your heart and mind.......
@@davelindstrom6005 well my dad did play acoustic guitar
You and your dad are an inspiration to so many people, I heard a guy say if he saw you when he was younger he’d quit his guitar. Not me watching you and your father work together push me to practice the piano more. Thank you both and don’t stop growing in your craft.
Yeah! It's a real pleasure to see and to hear you playing! Thanks for this moment of good energy 🤘🤩
Just incredible. So fun to watch! Superb work!
You are a Star. Ive spent 12 years in a band and I am blown away at your technique and finger stamina. Sweetheart, Im 65 and may not live long enough to see you fully shine...but when you do...WOW!!! YOU ARE AWESOME 😎
Wow!! The word "limits" just becomes less and less relevant for you, little Miss. You are blessed, not only with talent but with the desire to crash every barrier in your way. 👏👏👏👏👏
All I can say is WOW! I know she has tremendous amount but the amount of time in practicing that it takes just on that song is craze!!!
I listen to this now and again.. Its a joy and education of the importance of Bass guitar. Ellen is great and captures the mood of it.. Brilliant
YEAH! All you bassists and guitar players out there, just count all the notes in this, I dare you. You'll have to slow it way down and listen fifty times. Now play 'em all this well and keep the groove this tight without any rest. This song is an endurance exercise as well as being fairly hard technically. The power in those little hands is amazing... and you can tell she's been practicing hard lately too. Ellen rocks. God bless you, girl, we love you. She's the next Tal, I said it a year ago.
Lost for words: WOW.
Two weeks ago I saw Ale (The Warning) live.
One day I hope to see you Ellen live. Just turning 11 years old and making this bold statement.
Even the sky isn't the limit for you.
Great great job
So good, this warms the heart. You make my day! I so love this bass line. I just love her smile at the end.
I was going to request that you did this Ellen. I’m so glad you already have. Muse are unreal and Chris is amazing just like you
She's good. This is one of the hardest songs I've heard her play so far. This really proves that she's not just a young person playing so so difficulty songs, She's getting to the point where she's good really good
Every note is played with surgical precision. Extremely impressive 👏
This young woman is utterly fearless! That was so much fun to watch. Well played!!
--- I feel we have just been introduced to a preteen young lady who doesn't spend 85% of her life glued to a cellphone
Reminiscent of a young Ale with The Warning! You did an incredible job! Nice smile at the end 🎸🔥🤘
Yeah, Ale is great. It always makes me smile when she kind of kneels, then stands up and flips her head back. 🤘
@@heylad Yes! Plays bass with flair, hair flipper extraordinaire! 😁🤘
@@heylad i wonder if they're a fan of each other.
Sounds like Ale, ‘The Goddess of Thunder’, might have some competition coming up. She was about your age when she nailed this tune, also.
@@douglydooright4580 Yeah a coupla great young bass players! Boris and Natasha...way off base players 😁
How on earth do those tiny fingers maintain a consistent clean rhythm on the strings for a long time? Only bassists will understand what I mean by that!
Adorably clean rhythm
Adorable energy
Adorable focus
Adorable hairstyle
Adorable piece of act
An adorable gurl Ellen!
I also appreciate your parents in a special way, especially your dad..👏🙏🙏
Incredible! Such strength in those little fingers!
Can you imagine her playing ability when she is grown up, I can’t play this with my adult hands
AMAZING!!! You absolutely SMOKED that bassline!!! Don’t ever give up, you’re gonna be a HUGE star before you know it, and we all be enjoying your skills with massive smiles on our faces! 😃👍
Wow
Ellen...this made my day! Amazing stuff and ability. Never stop playing!
Holy cow, this insane flow of 16ths is so damn hard to pull off consistently, and she did it perfectly on time throughout the entire piece. Mad respect, there is no way in hell I could play this anywhere as well even after weeks of practising.
How can someone so young have such incredible mastery of an instrument??? That absolutely blows my mind! Also, she has more cool factor than I have ever had, or ever will have. Amazing!
I wish I knew how many attempts it took her to nail it. I am so proud of this little lady.
I'm always flabbergasted by the sheer athleticism of handling an instrument like this. Awesome!
The future is bright with young musicians like Ellen. Rock and Roll will never die.
ive been playing for many, many years and i rarely make it through this song without messing up. you got some serious talent. your technique is better than most musicians in their 40s. keep it up girl! I look forward to listening to you play for many years to come! I cant wait to see you on stage someday tearing that bass up!
Ellen, that was as professional as it gets. You did a fantastic job of playing the bass on that song.
Absolutely badass! I can't even express how much this rocks! Keep playing Ellen!!
Ellen, your playing is on another level! The songs you choose to cover are never basic. They're all advanced level bass lines and you NAIL THEM every time! Just awesome.... You are the poster child for up and coming musicians.
I'll never complain again about how small my hands are to play my bass. Amazing! Keep rocking!!
Wow! That song is such a beast and there's no stopping and Ellen nailed it! Great job, and nice tone!
Nothing short of amazing every time i listen to her videos. The range of styles, and work ethic are unreal. All with great energy and love of music. Don't get much better than that...
When I need a little mood lift I seek out one of Ellen's videos... they never fail to lift my spirits. It take real effort to nail these pieces and the reward for me is seeing the little smile after a particular passage and the smile at the end. Thank you!
Speechless!!! So Amazing!!! It has been so much fun watching you blossom...you go girl!!!
She’s going far with these awesome skills!! Well done girl!!
My favorite part of your videos is the smile and giggle at the end. Keep having fun. Playing music should be exactly that.
I've watched this countless times and I will keep coming back! Awesome musician!
Awesome. There's another base player called Alejandra Villarreal from the band called The Warning she's only 18 now but she first did it at 9 and at 14.
I'm 53 and just started playing bass. What an inspiration to see these videos. Keep up the great work. If I can get even a 1/4 as good I will be happy!
Absolutely incredible
This young lady is growing, thriving, evolving, A great future ahead of her!!
Aww, that smile at the end knowing you’re about to finish the song. You did it! That was amazing! Quite frankly this is one of the more accurate covers of this song that I’ve seen. Well done Ellen!
Everything is great with this video.....Ellen's skills, the bass itself, the song and the production.
16 years ago...all in memories..thanks..i give u 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
She never fails to amaze me with her talent. I smile with her every time she finishes a song. Great work Ellen!!!
I love this kid. Absolutely fabulous and flawless with this groove. One of my favorites from Muse. I wish she could inspire my son. Bravo to her dad who's done such a great job as her teacher.
Amazing ...the refined dexterity of decades long dedication to excellence condensed into such a young , young lady who can dazzle the accomplished all while the joy of her youth comes through in her expressions and mannerism .
Many comments made by many more senior than she bassists make obvious how difficult the passages are relative to tempo ..she is truly a gifted prodigy 👏👏👏👏👏...bravissima !
That was great. I first saw Ale from The Warning playing it, now you rocked it. I want to learn that song now. I guess I should listen to the original Muse version too.
Hysteria Muse Cover Practice Dany, Pau & Ale almost as great as ellen, and only 8 years old.
Alejandra Villareal now 18 and her band The Warning love Muse and they have done a live cover of this when Ale was 10 and Ale did a short Instagram cover a few years later. I have been dreaming of a colab between these 2, as they have very similar life journeys, starting on bass very young. Ale then went on to play in a band with her 2 sisters, getting signed in 2020, opening for Muse in their home country of Mexico earlier this year and now muse liking them so much, that they invited them to tour Europe with them as we speak.
Alejandra... 😁👍🏻
Her tone is bang on but her finger work is a thing of beauty to watch. I also love the fact that her bass is almost the same size as she is. The smile on her face at the end 🥹Truly awesome work and a joy to the ears and soul 🤘✊
You go Ellen!!! Just love that groove!
Absolut perfekt❤ Sie wird einen großen Namen haben und in die Musikgeschichte eingehen. Unfassbar!!!
Holy smokes, this was epic to watch as a string-slinger of all kinds! Just getting a great look at those fingers would be worth the watch but the PRECISION of the playing keeps drawing me back in. This girl's future is bright in the low end!
Dude, the way you started timing your fingers in the beginning is such a cool idea!
You have really progressed big time in your playing. It’s always a joy to watch your videos. You are amazing!
Dang kid!!! Been a minute since I've caught one of your videos and I'm absolutely blown away by your progress and evolving skill set!!!!! CRUSHING IT!!!!!!🔥
Ellen, I absolutely adore you and you inspire me. I'm a 50 year old man who picked up guitar a year ago. This video inspired me to learn this bass line on guitar. Its so much fun to play. Never underestimate the positive impact you make on other people of all ages. You are a rare gem indeed
I've watched this wonderful girl play this at least 50 times. Blown away every time!!!
Goodness, I don’t even know what to say. This is just a fantastic performance, Ellen! You absolutely nail it and it’s a pretty aggressive bass part. As others have noted, the best part is your smile and obvious love for the music. Keep it up.
Thank the Lord there are supremely musically talented kids still out there!!
Epic!!! 🔥 This kid’s playing is superb!!! 👌🏼🎸
Really fantastic stuff, Ellen. Bravo!
I’ve been watching her vids since she was 8 years old and it never ceases to amaze me how an 8 year old now 11 can play bass like a seasoned professional!!!
Simply amazing!!
This young lady has no limits! Fun watching her progress.
WOWZERS !! Outstanding !! You GO GIRL !! Keep it up !!
With that age playing that bassline with consistency is such a great job... keep it up 🎉
Holy moly, that was absolutely TERRIFIC! I don't know how many other people requested that song, but as for me, I thank you. I'm very picky about my music -- I can't even watch some bands live -- and that was, as far as I can tell, absolutely perfect!
That must have taken a lot of work, but you NAILED that, my friend. I hope you enjoy doing it as much as we enjoy hearing it. Bravo!
I think I'll be re-watching this over and over. That's one of my favorite songs, and you very much did it justice.
Awesome!! And that signature big smile at the end! Looks like you have so much fun, great job putting in all that work!
