    Your signature giggle, the infectious smile that will brighten anyone's day, and the fact you're growing...the reach up and down the fret board, your slender fingers able to catch even the most difficult progression....yeah, you're growing and getting better and better each day!! Thank you and thank you to dad for putting this all together and sharing with the world!!

  • @christopherweise438

    Watching Ellen playing this with 2 fingers makes you realize how insane it was for Jamerson to play this with his trademark single finger "hook".
    Great job Ellen.

  • @ItsTheGofa
    @ItsTheGofa Před 9 měsíci +20

    NEVER, ever, lose that smile and joy in your playing. It says more about you and your love for music than anything else could. Well played too Ellen 😊

    I have been watching Ellen for several years now and she has improved at the speed of light! She is going to rock the world for decades to come! Plus... Her smile is off the charts! I love it!!

  • @timothybruneau4173
    @timothybruneau4173 Před 9 měsíci +5

    Her exquisite playing is outdone only by her infectious smile and how clear it is that she's loving every minute of it. And I'm not going to qualify her playing by saying she's pretty good for an 11 yr old. She's REALLY good, period.

  • @skygunner777
    @skygunner777 Před 9 měsíci +8

    I can only echo the spirit of most of the comments: it isn't just the music, it is the joy in playing that Ellen communicates.

    • @thorbjrnhellehaven5766
      @thorbjrnhellehaven5766 Před 6 měsíci

      So true!!!
      Music without the joy, is almost like a music box.
      A music box can sound good, but there's no joy, no feelings, no soul ❤

  • @cgrimes72
    @cgrimes72 Před 9 měsíci +3

    Absolutely incredible! When I see Ellen playing lines like this from the great James Jamerson, I think about the no name person I had a debate with about whether or not Ellen plays on a pro level. The guy thinks because she is a kid she is not yet there. Well this is just ANOTHER EXAMPLE of her PRO level playing. I told this guy that if Ellen went to compete for the bassist job in HIS BAND, she would SMOKE HIM 7 ways to Sunday!

    • @ilbmlb51

      Amen brother.........she's wonderful and a ray of sunshine 🌞 she reminds me of myself when I was teaching myself to play bass guitar back in 1976 when I was 9 yrs old.........now at 56.......its wonderful to see the youth of today learning about music........this is soo nice to see❤😊

  • @maratb5291
    @maratb5291 Před 9 měsíci +2

    Before I started following Ellen, bass was something that was "just there, in the background". Now, as I watch her progress and play many different styles and genres, I have come to appreciate bass much more fully. Of course, that smile at the end of every video is great to wake up to (even better than coffee lol).

  • @humanrights7987

    @briarz101 Před měsícem

    Can't keep from saying "amazing" too many times...but this girl makes any bass player wish they could be this good. Tough riffs, but you can tell by the smiles she makes she has a passion for the unique, and has fun doing it. That's how it's done. Play on Ellen!

  • @craigblakes5499

    @davesetnik7121 Před 9 měsíci +10

    Ellen, you never cease to amaze me. To play at that level you have to love what you're playing. It's obvious by your smiles that you do. I know you work hard at it, but I can see it's becoming second nature to you. The flow in your playing is glass smooth and spot on. You are already a legend... And will carry on forever. You bring joy and happiness to us all.

    Your playing is so good young lady; and by the smile on your face, you're having a blast playing your bass. This' one of my favorite J5 songs growing up back in the '70's when I was really into the J5 music. I've always wanted to learn this song on bass. Your playing is so smooth with great timing. You bass skills are beyond your years. Truly a gift from God. A job real done young lady.
