TOOL - Schism (Bass Line)

[@s0ulr3aper90]

12 years old and can play this?! This is a different world. The talent this girls has is amazing!!! Well done!

[@CMO69]

She is talented, sure, for a bass guitarist at her age.. but lets not forget there were literal 5-8 year olds playing classical piano pieces perfectly 100+ years ago (and still are in 2024) who were arguably much more talented, the instrument is much more complicated. Point is dont hype up and be so dramatic over a little 12 year old playing a TOOL song of all things.

[@jeffreyhiggason4004]

@@CMO69 Let's see you play it. I'm here for the hype around a 12year old playing what is clearly a difficult bass line. No need to be a naysayer.

[@alfredopereyra5033]

It s not talent, she practices her ass off...and has excelent music guidance

[@cbolton81]

Song is very easy to play. Calm down.

[@Xfacta12482]

@@CMO69 Are you actually discounting this girl's insane talent, and your argument is that she isn't Mozart? Like, what dude? Humans are evolving. Kids weren't doing this 20 years ago. Plain and simple. Any kid can hop online from birth and learn from the best teacher online for free. The baseline level of skill is rising for basically any hobby.

[@wYatt121509]

My favorite tiny bass player and my favorite band, who would not love that combo. Dad is doing a great job with this kid.

[@tacocin]

Incredible talent! And her personality feeds my soul. Blessings!

[@Rondo2ooo]

She will be a world-class player, and if all goes well, she will leave a trace as bass player like Jaco (please without the tragedy!). She has all the ingredients. Outstanding talent.

[@ianbarber311]

To grasp something so early in life. My oldest brother watched my father race, be a mechanic in the late 50s, early 60s. By the 70s he was working on Ferraris, Astons, Masers etc. Then went to drug town. Offered a job by Ferrari of NA. I hope to see this young lady flourish!! On the right track, shared with my sister. She loves her!

[@execatty]

She's amazing.. Hopefully the boys won't slow her down in a few years..

[@nishadprinja8710]

Jaco did it to himself

[@darrellcurry1783]

Yes!! And what a cool and awesome bass playing performance in San Francisco for Golden State Warriors, Ellen and i love it and you've sure nailed that performance like never before and i'm so proud of you!! Ellen, you rock!! 🤘🎸🎵🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

[@Leif-yv5ql]

Music is the universal language, and you speak it very well. Keep on keeping on!

[@Fujicator]

I really love watching you play bass because you play with talent and more important joy ! I love this smile of yours that remembers all of us musicians, that music is pleasure for the player and the audience. Keep growing find your own way and have a lot of fun !

[@garysnelson8119]

The first time I watched your videos was was when you made a statement, don't tell me me it's not a bass line cause it is. You were playing the theme song for Pink Panther. You said it with such authority and I haven't stopped watching since. Great job Ellen 💐🌹

[@EllenPlaysBass]

Thank you so much!

[@garysnelson8119]

@@EllenPlaysBass you are so welcome Ellen. I like watch prodigy's. It helps me see the progress God is making. Each generation just gets better. Someone times it's hard to see . I watched Karolina Protsenko, the Clark family, and Ben&zara

Thank YOU, miss Ellen!

Im amazed at this young lady,i hope she keeps these videos going.

I absolutely love the songs she plays! She definitely will become famous as a bass player! She has soo much potential I cannot wait to see where life takes her! Also props to her dad for showing her to appreciate the older music!

I can hardly believe it! I was in high school when "Killers" came out! It's just so strange to think I am older than both of your parents! You are a jewel. Keep playing bass!!

[@RadRan1969]

You Rock Ellen. So cool you played that. Thank you and your father for posting.

[@thomasgray7128]

Wow Ellen, great bass line selection!!! Tool is an awesome band!! Great job young lady!!😁❤️👍👍👍🤘🤘

[@darrellcurry1783]

Yes!! Amazing job, Ellen!! 🎸🎵🎶❤️❤️❤️😊

[@mr.martyr8573]

Im a 42 year old man thats been playing bass for quite sometime and cant come close to this level of accuracy with this song. Lol Great job!! This is incredibly humbling and shows me i got more work to do. Haha

[@WOLFAKKO2]

This my first time that I see you play with a pick. I usually thought that you should play bass with your fingers but I have realized that many metal songs need the pick. Little by little you are covering all the techniques that the bass can allow you. Great work!!

[@usa12watch]

Always a consummate professional! Thank you for sharing another great bass line. Your videos are a journal of your growth! Way to rock the world ❤

[@ant24197]

Yes! That is incredible. I'm gonna share this with all my friends that are tool fans

[@Stephen_M.]

That was great Ellen!

I would love to hear this without the backing tracks. This is amazing. Girly, you are awesome. I am happy this came across my path.

I almost did not recognize Ellen… it’s like just over night, she matured!!!

[@aliwantizu]

Band Idea: "EllenPlaysBass" on Bass, "Jake-kid guitarist" on Guitar, "Nandi Bushell" on Drums. Several good kid singers have appeared on AGT the past few years. Pick one, and go forth and ROCK!

[@zoeherriot]

Have you seen the video where she plays Led Zeppelin's The Ocean with Yoyoka? Highly recommend it. Yoyoka is a much better drummer than Nandi (although she's great too - it's just Yoyoka is on another level... to everyone).

[@dubwaxaudio]

That tone on that bass is pretty awesome

Good choice, 'Schism' has some of the best bass ever. The main riff past the intro still gives me chills. I know the pieces fit, 'cause I watched them fall away... 😢

[@benjaminrush6201]

Amazing, I love the 12th fret engraving. I noticed the pick ups are double poled offset and I have never seen that before. But is answers a question for my customization on a guitar build. My mind is blown in so many ways. Tool is also one of my favs and this is so clean!

Your comments were turned off for the Iron Miaden wrathchild cover so I'm posting here. Epic stuff, Steve Harris is one of the best an most under rated bass players ever. Covering maiden songs is tough as Steve goes full tilt every song. Loved it. Now try Rio by Duran Duran . Keep rocking!!
