Is he her father?

[@mtp4430]

I've been playing bass for 47 years now, and I enjoy Ellen and her Dad's videos so much. I started playing at 17 and Ellen already plays rings around anything I could do at 17. This beautiful little girl has a very bright musical future ahead of her. Her Dad, who is an excellent musician in his own right, is guiding her beautifully every step of the way.

[@robertakerman3570]

Hi Mike. Ms Ellen will always be a musician; though may become a Producer or work @ JPL. Time will tell; - Her greatness can not be stopped.

[@Glen.Black.]

And the great thing about him (Hovak) is that he only provides guidance in the direction that Ellen wants to go. He never forces her to play, or move in a direction of his choosing.

However, they have both recently hit the 200K mark and have their YT Awards to proudly Show, and deserve tremendously. There is no real contest. They are more like Sisters of the World. There is going to be a Snowball effect rolling down the mountain and going up exponentially as more and more people spread the joy these young can bring. KZbin has many other Young Stars. Todays technology allows them to virtually meet and Jam together and they have made incredible Videos.

That piece really shows off Ellen's skill level. It's been fun watching her hard work pay off. She's so comfortable playing she can even straighten her hair without missing a beat.

[@RustyKeys72]

What a great dad and what a great little legend you are, Ellen. There's no better team in music on KZbin at this point. For entertainment value, musicianship, and the feel-good vibe you guys bring, you own this thing! Respect.

[@klmcwhirter]

Amen! You can not teach "want to". Ellen, that is what drove me to learn, and is obviously what keeps you playing. I remember what those wows felt like when I was your age. I am super happy for you and your family. Music has added greatly to the quality of my life. And I am sure it will to yours. Great job! Keep it up.

I don't usually comment on youtube vids- even good ones!... But, Ellen, as a fellow musician I was hooked on your videos because of the JOY that shows on your face when you play.

Awesome playing! I'm a piano teacher and it's so hard to find people (children or adults) who can truly feel off beats. You feel the on beats underneath, making it two layers. Little Ellen nails it and never rushes! That's fantastic.

[@bethdeesb]

I just bought the Ibanez Mikro earlier this week. It was $199. I wanted either a Mini or a 5 String Bass. I've been playing 2 years on a beginner 4 string Squire. At 65 although I learn quickly my brain to hand coordination isn't as good as younger folks, but I love playing the bass in my church praise team. It's so much fun. Thanks to Ellen and this channel I'm learning so much more. As someone else said, watching Ellen's passion and joy is infectious and wonderful. Thank y'all for all you do!

[@texasorange285]

This is absolutely incredible!!! The journey has been absolutely beautiful!!! Please keep this going!!! Kudos to Dad!!! Kudos to Ellen!!!

[@maratb5291]

The bass sounds good, but Ellen makes it sound magical. I am totally entranced watching her fretwork and her picking. My fingers can't move that quickly just randomly drumming on my desk. Ellen, your playing has gotten so very good, but what makes you even more special is your smile while playing. Never lose that. Cheers from Wisconsin.

I didn’t know this bass was shorter than the Mikro. I love short scale basses so this one looks fun. Of course Ellen killed it with her playing.

Sweet groove right there Ellen. One thing that is so evident is that dad worked hard on your timing. You totally feel that groove and it's spot on! Keep rockin'! As for the bass, it sounds way better than the price would lead you to believe. Love that bass clef shirt on the doctor!! LOL! Dad almost caught a shot in the face at the end there! Funny story. I got my first guitar from a neighbor who gave it to me on Independence Day. I was holding it sitting next to his father when someone shot off a really loud firework in the back yard. I jumped and the guitar headstock hit the dad in the mouth and chipped his tooth!! That was probably around 1970 when I was around 10 years old! Thanks for popping that memory into my head. Have a great weekend!

[@genemoreland1660]

I have both a Glarry and Ibanez Mikro. They are the two basses I play most often. I upgraded the pickups and bridge on the Mikro, but only the bridge on the Glarry. The soldering on the pot wiring is a bit iffy on the Glarry and the frets could use a bit of work, but otherwise, it's a coin flip.

Ellen and Hovak will be coming back very soon for another, somewhat larger bass, and they're going to ask for something really special! Meanwhile, Ellen's playing just gets better and better.
