Flawless pitch control. On a fretless. I'm amazed.

[@treeherder2201]

THIS!!!! ^^^^^^

[@mantisxxx3656]

No finger squeaking either!

[@Shasha8674]

String basses for orchestras have no frets also. She is great!

At 60 years of age… it’s fantastic that Ellen is an inspiration to me !… go girl!!

[@timtaylorguitarnut]

I concur, I am also 60 and I'm just in awe of her talent😊

[@frosty327]

@wesleymarquis7138 You're the little girls that head over heels with another little girl. There are probably thousands of young kids playing instruments well. You know why ? They're kids playing others' music. Do you know how many made it with original music ? ZERO !

[@MottiShneor]

She definitely GOT IT. Even the simplistic take on the piece is enough here. This girl has "Rhythm Section" deep in her. GO!!!

[@noneya3635]

Never ceases to make me smile seeing that bitty slip of a gal jamming to classic rock and Metal songs. And looking damned happy while she's doing it to.

[@lesalmin]

I'm quite sure many bands would be happy to get a bassist as talented as you.

[@sabrinawilliams4707]

What a talented beautiful child, mom and dad that's a blessing !

[@MarioBastosmusicproducer]

I love to watch her playing! The happiness on her face.

[@blueyedsweetie3019]

What a talented lady you are

[@marvinmosley5366]

Love it so much fun to watch. The tone of that fretless is amazing.

[@RayMelnik]

She blows away so many with so many years of experience, it's just amazing. What a talent.

[@therealcomment1811]

Not only is she totally adorable... but a genius at base playing... I have a feeling she is going to be very rich and famous in the near future...

She's brilliant 👏 Not only is she extremely talented for her age which is so very uplifting and motivational to see but she's also like a bundle of positivity and cuteness to go with it 👏😍

That's a really beautiful Bass, and you play It so well. Great job, thank you for that.

Nothing better than natural talent. Sounded absolutely perfect ❤

[@Babybugex]

Natural???? How do you know how much practice and time went in to her talent? You must not play music.

[@timwindsor03]

Yes ELLEN is an inspiration to all of us. Keep up the incredible work. We love you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have an incredible day.

Love Ellen what a talent, you are going to be snapped up by a world professional artist, to play on their album, join their band and go on tours, you have a bright future as a musician Ellen xx

[@billbaxter2914]

Super job Ellen. Really awesome.

[@skylark4901]

I bet Peter Gabriel would love that! You go girl! I was lucky enough to work a Peter Gabriel concert in Mansfield Massachusetts, small venue, was called Great Woods, now Xfinity Center, after the show we had just finished up packing all his stuff away and he came walking out thanked all of us and sat with us for a half an hour asking all of us where we were from and what we actually did for day jobs, he is the nicest guy so down to Earth, that was such a memorable night, I'll never forget!

[@philthymiller]

That's a great memory to have ! 👍

Great job! I loved Genesis when Peter Gabrel led the band.

[@linda_guitar8869]

That was great! This is the first video where I've seen you playing fretless (and a 5-string)! I was thinking, since you're playing a fretless bass now, you should listen to and possibly start learning songs from the "Graceland" album, by Paul Simon! I think you'd love it! Paul Simon's main bass player on that album, Bakithi Kumalo (from South Africa), played some very cool bass lines on many of the songs!

[@tech-eq5ob]

Simply incredible! Subscribed!

[@Exekutor2020]

At 43 just got my fist fretless bass and I'm struggling and you're playing like it's nothing. You rock!

WOW. Well done. You definitely got that groove.

[@JayStar-yj9pu]

I sat in this very house in 1988 and watched that video on VH1 with my grandmother who surprised me by nodding and tapping along cuz she felt that groove! Gracias for the positive nostalgia! 😎🤞

[@Don_Camillo]

Girl, you're a miracle. I'm over 50 years and i never played so good as yours. Go on, you are great 👍!

[@Funktastic_Ed]

Fretless bass is for advanced musicians, and you got it, bravo.

[@cuda426hemi]

No it isn't. Not any more than any string section instrument of which none have frets. What they do have unlike violin. cello etc. is grooves where frets would be, that makes it just as easy to find where you have to be and w/o frets it's physically EASIER TO PLAY. If you don't have perfect pitch frets won't help much anyway. 🎸

[@sarcasticguy4311]

@@cuda426hemi Not to mention that bass likely 99.99% has dots on the side of the neck.

[@cuda426hemi]

​@@sarcasticguy4311 It's actually much harder to switch from 4 string to 5 string Bass then from frets to no frets. Why? Because not only does the music scale options open up by having 5 extra low notes but it totally messes up your physical ergonomics and the way you formerly played Bass; You must reexamine the board to integrate this new option. But as I said on fretless you still have grooves where the frets were (you feel them) and NO ergonomics change so it's not hard at all. I switched in minutes. But when I added 5 string it took days to get used to the new ergonomics and way of visualizing the board. 🎸

[@theseventhsword874]

​@@cuda426hemiThere would only be "grooves" on a defretted bass. I don't feel anything on my fretless.

[@cuda426hemi]

@@theseventhsword874 That may be true, I misspoke. What brand? Does it have the markers on edge? My Ibanez has markers on edge so you don't "need" grooves on the neck but it has subtle grooves also, of course others may not be grooved so I shouldn't have assumed. 👀

[@effyleven]

Must be considered a privilege to share in the life of a young person like her. So talented. So fun... so happy.
