Ellen is a very lucky girl to have a father who teaches, supports and encourages her music skills.

When she laughs at the end of those riffs, it reminds me of the pure joy that comes with really nailing a riff or line. The fact that she’s able to experience that feeling at such a young age will do wonders for her growth. Whether she sticks with bass or not, if she keeps having fun while learning, she will go so far!

Got my Hohner a few years later, self taught to Golden Earring, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, then later with the kids. I am SO in awe of Ellen's Dad doing it RIGHT, and when she was young and quick to learn.

[@Dombi6880]

I am 63 an practice bass playing since 20 years. But i am far away from Ellens

[@Alienkiwi730]

It's not about how hard you try, it's about how long you try. Over the 40 years you played bass, how much of that time as a percentage did you spend practicing? If you haven't mastered it, you either have A) bad technique habits, that are fixable with strict patience. Or 2) You just simply never practiced enough for your brain and muscle memory to be primed with each other to play the instrument. If you keep practicing every single day, and I mean every single day, there will be improvement. Good luck my friend

[@jvargas454]

I like the fact father and daughter do this together. What a wonderful gift to her, and wonderful example to the rest of us.

I am in shock each time I watch this kid. Her spirit is amazing and I love that her dad is teaching her respect for others. She has to know the other bassist name, album, and year. She will have an incredible music lexicon and history that will facilitate amazing growth. I am amazed by her skill but shocked those little hands can do that. Physically, it baffles me because as a guitarist, I know the reaches are hard for me as an adult, and a bass has even bigger frets. I am sitting here with large hands complaining, and this 9 year old has seemingly no limitations. She is playing it all with those tiny hands. Incredible!

[@davidsalo8397]

I can relate. My hands are large, but I still struggle with the bass.

[@magnificentmuttley154]

*@Lee Clements* Im no endocrinologist or biologist, not by a long shot. Just another someone who's read about how the difference in typing speed between men & women is _seratonin._ For men the average is 50-60 words per minute, whereas with women it is 70-90 wpm. I suspect that this "seratonin advantage" contributes significantly to Ellen's mind-blowing rapidity with those little fingers.... However, when I think for just a moment about the brute execution of veteran bassists Bernard Edwards, Nathan Watts & Louis Johnson (for example), it reminds me that there are people on both sides of the gender line who happen to be gifted with it. Incidentally, for this video Ellen matches the lightning speed of the masters, with Bernard's _Good Times_ bassline, & Nathan's _Sir Duke_ bassline In my 22 years of electric bass it has mystified me how that six string guitar has always required more of my stamina, & seems to also demand more energy for me to consistently hold those tiny strings against the frets, without mistakes. Its counter-intuitive that the thicker strings of a bass with their increased tension would take less energy from me, & enable me to play for longer sets before tiring. Rapidity has always been my neverending quest; a challenge only attained by continuous practice ever week, & quickly diminished by muscle atrophy if I put the instrument down for just a few days Best of Success to Ellen & her Dad. This world needs more fathers like him who are dedicated to their children's future, & willing to help them actualize their full potential, no matter what. God bless them both! 🎼🎶🎸❤❤

[@hectoraguilar3710]

It is great that Ellen gives information about the music, bass player, the year has been recorded, the band name, the tone, type music. Besides she plays it all the way through. Thank you! Greetings from Tijuana! Her dad is a great teacher. Congratulations both!

Her attitude and playing skills are awesome. I know she will go as far as she wants in the music industry. I hope i live long enough to see her play live somewhere. Keep on rockin' little mama !!! Dad and Mama y'all have many reasons to be proud.

Ellen thank you for sharing your talent and joy of playing.

She's absolutely adorable and a fine musician for her age. Heck, she's a fine musician for any age. Her parents must be very proud of her. And she should be very proud of herself as well. Her little legs don't even reach the floor on that stool, so she's not even tapping her foot to keep time. This Little Giant has a great internal clock and groove. Bless you little one, thank you for doing the bass proud, and for sharing your playing with all of us other bassists. You have a very bright future young lady.

Greatest daughter-father bass duo on KZbin! Thank you Ellen for the beautiful playing and the passion for great music, and thank you Dad for supporting Ellen's musical journey!

These days, too many parents put a cell phone into the hands of their children to keep them occupied. This is an example of a much much better choice.

Wow. Absolutely brilliant.

I’m truly amazed at her talent. Playing the bass with small hands and short arms is extremely difficult. Good for you Ellen

Ellen is an angel. There is no other explanation for her. She somehow escaped the kingdom and made her way to this Little Rock, so she could make people smile. Succeeded. I’m a fan for life.

She's so good and has such a great attitude and her soul shines through. She brings me so much joy. It brings tears to my eyes. God bless you!
