This kid is just a joy to watch. I love her energy and smile.

Totally !

[@ScottyMcAlister-bf9bt]

I'm curious to know how many hours a day does she spend practicing her bass chops

[@dalepiwek]

And that laugh!!😂😂🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@stevefisher8323]

She has star power: articulate, outgoing, cute, great smile, great laugh, well developed style, and of course getting really good at bass.

[@drewmiller3462]

I sometimes forget how young this mature and talented young lady actually is. Then she stands up. She is beyond her years and I adore her, and her Pappa for being such a great and supportive father. Keep smiling Ellen. The whole world loves you and you will go far in this business. Watch out for those pitfalls.

I want that bass! I'm a 68 year old dude with small hands. I have an insatiable interest in bass, but when I tried to learn bass 30 years ago, my instructor told me my hands were to small and I'd never be a great bass player. Ellen, you have inspired me so much. God bless you and your dad!

Congratulations too to Mayones (Poland rocks!) for recognizing the new face of music and the changing way we consume music and value musicians; they are getting in on the ground floor of a rising star and the most adorable person on KZbin.

[@maciekprochniak9539]

To samo miałem.. świetny pomysł z tymi słuchawkami bez potrzeby użycia wzmacniacza..a potem dowiaduję się, że to polski maajonez..i kopara mi opadła..🤣🙂👏👏👍

[@vincentvegas9202]

Dostać tyle wartą gitarę za darmo itd. a inni muszą latami zbierać na instrument, a też mają talent i to tu w Polsce a nie w innym kraju. Taka firma niby polska, dała by kilka gitar dzieciakom z Polski, aby rozwijały talent, dzieciaków z talentem nawet nie stać na taką gitarę, dziwna polityka firmy. Dostać gitarę która kosztuje i jest zrobiona dobrze to marzenie... jej się udało, nie chcę Was dzieciaki smucić ale życie niestety nie jest tak piękne jak u niej że ma wszystko i od razu wiecie o co chodzi. To nie zazdrość tylko ocena sytuacji. Życzę dzieciakom w Polsce aby kiedyś komuś się takie coś przytrafiło jak jej.

[@jaceknowak4746]

@@vincentvegas9202 Elly dostała gitarę, bo ma potężne zasięgi- to ogromna reklama dla firmy, koszt kampanii reklamowej na pewno przewyższa koszt gitary, a dzięki współpracy z Elly firma zyskała reklamę na cały świat. To tak jak ze wzmacniaczami Labogii, świetne sprzęty, ale okropnie drogie, dlatego w Polsce gra na nich tylko czołówka, a reszta jedzie za granicę, bo tam ludzi stać na te wyroby. Cena nie bierze się z nikąd. Rozumiem twój żal na temat braku wsparcia dla dzieciaków, sam przez kupę czasu męczyłem się z gitarą za 600zł, która do oryginalnego stratocastera była podobna tylko z wyglądu.
