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!

[@travissmith2092]

Agreed, my hand gets a cramp just watching it. Pretty incredible!

[@BigUriel]

@@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.

[@mariusholthhanssen712]

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!!!

[@stevet8833]

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).

[@TheoEclipse]

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.

[@user-ud7ko4cq1n]

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.

[@KimMoonbmwmoonie]

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.

One things I've noticed from watching a lot of her videos, is that she has what you can't teach - groove. She'll be learning or practicing something and it's kinda not there, and she gives it a second or two, let's the 'feel' come in, then she catches the groove and she's killing it from then on. She rocks the crap out of every style. I wish I was that badass at anything in life.....

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!

Wow! That song is such a beast and there's no stopping and Ellen nailed it! Great job, and nice tone!

My favorite cover, Ellen playing Muse Hysteria. I feel it every time I hear you play. I listen to it many times during the day. Four minutes of energy and joy for me. Thank you.

Wow, thank you!

Holy crap! So tight and driving! Great tone too! 🎸🔥

[@dazd5970]

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 🤘✊

Watching this with my mouth wide open and my jaw on the floor 😮 Stunning!!

[@chrislira3574]

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.

Hands down the best cover I've seen on this channel. Ellen's officially a rocker!

[@willo7734]

Really insanely great playing! It blows my mind how great of a musician you are.

[@TomBice]

Ellen, that was as professional as it gets. You did a fantastic job of playing the bass on that song.

Didn't miss a beat...Total pro...I love it...This is one of my favorite non heavy metal basslines, and she pulls it off flawlessly...

[@ConradSpoke]

I'm always flabbergasted by the sheer athleticism of handling an instrument like this. Awesome!

[@martinswedberg3532]

Absolute PERFECTION in my eyes and ears at least... Perfect timing, and note for note as I recall... and a cute smile of happiness at the end!!! AWESOME!!!!

[@JM-do6wc]
