TOP 10 METAL Bass Lines - (BILLY SHEEHAN Challenged Me)

[@EllenPlaysBass]

Obviously there are so many other great metal bass lines, so I couldn't include all of them in one video, but if you want to see another metal bass lines video, let me know in the comments and if many of you say yes, then we'll do Part 2 and maybe even Part 3.

Silly Billy challenged you? Damn Just need Stu Hamm to challenge you now.

Hello there, I'm Laurajane. I have played a bass guitar for over 62 years, and all I can do is marvel at your talent. I just cannot imagine what you will be like at my age ,may I suggest absolutely fantastic

[@bassjane1732]

Great tallent

[@guzzialfa]

Laurajane,I'll see your over 62 and raise you 1. I can do nothing but smile whenever I see this young lady play. I've trained a number of young bass players including young ladies in high school. The sheer talent of Ms. Ellen is a beautiful thing to witness.

[@lauramildon-clews7850]

@guzzialfa I might just take you up on that, lol. The base was the first time that I learned to play. Since then, I have taught myself to play both lap steel and pedal steel guitars. I am seventy now but I still play lead guitar in a band, make my own lap steel guitars, and do repairs on allsorts of other types of guitars. I now live in Lake Taupo in New Zealand, and I am supposed to be retired, lol. Thanks for replying, Laurajane

[@FMP177]

Awesome!!!

[@timothyfour8245]

I've been playing for 38 years. I'm in awe.

[@sydneyperitz3571]

The incredible ear and musical ability are unsurpassed but what gets me is how such tiny hands can execute so much strength as well as the span between frets to be able to play these difficult bass passages. The instruments are full scale basses that adults play which is no less than mind-boggling how she navigates the fretboard so easily. It's the equivalent of an adult bassist playing a fretboard that's 15' long and 6" wide. This amazing little girl is destined to be one of the best in the world and in a very short time. Dad is an incredible talent as well and a wonderful teacher. Focused and disciplined but fun and loving at the same time. The videos they make together are so entertaining and such good quality, I could watch them all day. Bravo Ellen & Dad!

[@carlyslecomfort7317]

I've played bass more off than on for close to 30 years. The last 4 years have seen me actually jump in and start seriously learning. I'm closing in on 60 in a couple months. I've met a lot of men and women in their late 50's on into their 70's that were new to playing instruments. I deal with arthritis pain some days but when I start really getting into it then the pain is quite minimal.

[@tigerscott2966]

I had my own band at 16, but I couldn't afford a bass... I didn't get my first bass until I was 60! I have arthritis everywhere... When I grab my bass and start playing, I feel nothing but the music... Keep playing... Wonderful things will happen.

[@GeteP]

That smile says it all. Also, you can tell she's loved and encouraged massively. That's so heart warming. She is having a good time and getting that huge buzz which is the payoff for mastering a difficult but super cool tune. Brilliant to see there's amazing dad's out there. Cool beyond words.

Hello Ellen, I am a Brazilian graphic artist who lives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I have been sharing your videos and your talented learning work. The first time I heard you playing the bass, I confess that I cried, I saw an angel of God touching my ears and heart. You are so beautiful, simple and charismatic, I am very grateful that you shared this with everyone, it is great to see young people taking an interest in such a difficult instrument to play, enjoying classic rock and being recognized by musicians from their favorite bands. I particularly like the basses on some of Jean Luc Ponty's albums, a very talented French progressive jazz musician, and of course Stanley Clark, who I saw playing in New York in 1983 with the musical group Return To Forever. I wish that God's blessings always reach you and your family who encourage and help you share your talent with all of us! Always keep smiling and happy! With all due respect, I love you! And I am sure that Brazil loves you too! I will be your number one fan here, you can be sure of that! A loving kiss to your heart! Thank you!

[@russtrautwein6293]

It really depends when you talk with him. I remember him from way back in Godforsaken Buffalo in his Talas days and hung out with him many times. Some days he's be totally chill as you mentioned, other days he was a complete jerk you just needed to avoid. I remember after gigs, he'd just throw his bass in the back of his van and close it up then head back inside. When I say throw, I mean it literally as in no case, just open the back and toss it in. His knowledge of the bass and his skills were and are amazing. I think what he's done for upcoming bassists needs to be celebrated for what he's given back to music.

I saw Billy Sheehan at a place called Stage One in Murrysville, Pennsylvania back in 1984 with his band Talas. It just blew my mind. I've been playing bass a long time, but can't quite play like that. You're a prodigy.

Hello. This KZbin channel is the best thing since sliced! Good luck dear Ellen! 🎉

[@dang7620]

as a guitarist, i am so impressed by the span of your fingers on a bass for such a young age, brilliant!

[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

I was amazed at your skill playing the baseline in Hysteria, even bass players in reaction videos were very impressed. Me, I was concerned your fingers didn't bleed after. After watching this video, I see many of the base lines exceed Hysteria. Your talent is amazing.

Your talent brought tears to my eyes. Magnificent!!!

[@briansellden6115]

Ellen! I haven't seen a video from you in about a year. You were amazing them... But I'm floored by how much you've improved! OMG - Your hands! The link between your brain and the bass is so stong! Just wow :)

Welcome back!

How she can play all of those songs is amazing. How she can remember them is astounding. I don't know if she is a musical genius or not, but she certainly is beyond adept.

Thank you! I'm enjoying and now very much appreciating metal as a genre for the first time in my life. Mind blown.

Metal isn't my thing but watching Ellen play bass is. Thanks Ellen! Very Cool.

Go to classic metal, and give it a try!! Metal is a very varied genre; not just some few extremes! Mostly Not like the stupid, clueless, ignorant and hateful prejudices!! It’s very varied! Give iron maiden try they are the best band for me, and one of the best musicians generally for me; not just metal! Pop mostly is hackneyed, boring and repetitive!! And it’s just a shitty one man show mostly!

@@osamaqtaitat I understand. I've been teaching guitar since 1982 so I'm very aware of what Metal is and how it has evolved over the years. My sons love Dream Theater. Is that Metal? I don't care for it much. Iron Maiden - just listened to Wasted Years, Run To The Hills, The Trooper, Stranger In A Strange Land, the vocals are awesome but the only thing I don't like is the wide vibrato of the singers. That turns me off for some reason, and the whole overall vibe is just not for me. I've studied voice for years, and even studied opera, which is not for me either, so I understand what a good voice sounds like. These guys in Iron Maiden have good voices no doubt. Sorry that I don't love it like you do. I started listening to music just after I was born but really started paying attention about 1964. 1969 was the first year that I picked up a guitar but still metal is not really my thing. I used to listen to Black Sabbath back in the 70's but after I while I realized that Ozzy is just too monotone for me. Also, the lyric subject matter of most metal doesn't usually appeal to me. The lyrics have to mean something to me. I don't care how awesome the music seems to be. My favorite composers are George Gershwin, Beethoven, and Bach. I play hymns on the organ in church. They are a good study into good voice leading. Guitar is simpler for me. Not much blues, a little classical, mostly folk music, a little jazz... stuff people like to listen and relate to. You can visit my channel and see what I teach there. I do have a little ACDC and Led Zeppelin on the channel. I can't remember for the moment what else I have posted there that is more heavy. When my students want to study metal I teach it to them, no problem. Hey, thanks for the comment on my comment. Hal Stead
