I am an 82 year old man who has fallen in love with Ellen and her bass. Protect her with every thing you have. She will be world famous, and will play with some of the greatest artist in the world someday. Can't wait to see her grow with her music.
In a world where children are struggling… Covid was devastating for young people, especially those without a very focused environment. This child knows exactly where she’s going, I would bet. This is what great parenting, and a father, who has taken the time to teach his daughter an incredible skill. What a great pair they make… No doubt they should start a band.
Little girl BIG guitar, BIG guy little guitar. LOL Props to you sir, Ellen is the focus here but you are clearly her hero. You are obviously an accomplished musician but your ability to step back and allow Ellen to shine on her own earns you "Father Of The Year". Watching you two play together is magical and so uplifting.
I think she'll be just about ready to do studio session work during her next school vacation! I don't really see her working a lemonade stand or biking a paper route.
@@thudor1 I just came back to see this after watching the latest thing she did with her dad.. It's quite obvious you were spot on in your assessment. It seems virtuosity is heritable.
I'm a 69 year old man..been listening to jazz all of my life.... and never thought I would ever see or hear a little girl BRING IT to us like that. Her and her dad are awesome.....!!!!!!
It’s not even that she’s physically good (which she is), but she 1000% feels and understands the timing of the groove. That’s something that comes from within - Ellen is an old soul!
Ellen is amazing to watch. Infectious smile and she can groove. Let's not overlook dad here. The man is making that Tele sing! You can see where Ellen inherited the groove from.
I honestly hope that this little girl gets to spend the rest of her life pursuing this passion. She is more free and joyful than 95% of the people I have ever met. I see her as a great role model for anybody at any age. Do what you love with passion and put your best effort in consistently and your life will be fulfilling.
Rsss por isso , cada minuto tem que ser aproveitado ao máximo!! Pois eles crescem tão rápido e oque acaba sobrando são registros e lembranças.... mas quando esses laços são fortes, eles não arrebentam jamais!!!
That bass is as big as she is and she plays it like a pro already! Watching those tiny fingers plucking those strings and moving up and down that fretboard brings such a smile to my face. Keep up the great work.
I can't help but to cry to see a very, very loving father playing with his adorable daughter and rocking the jam 100% So freaking beautiful and well played. Great, great sound from you both. I bow to you 🙏
What a great original piece. Great to see daddy’s amazing chops too. Beautiful playing - Ellen mastering the syncopation and so tight! Look out world - here comes Ellen!!!!
What a joy to watch this beautiful child perform. She is absolutely amazing and her smile is priceless! Great to see Dad teaching and investing the time that she will always cherish!
Hey Hovak, all these years of career, have you ever dreamed of recording with your daughter? You must be so proud. Congratulations Ellen, great talent!
We've been WAY overdue to see a musician who enjoys playing as much as Ellen does. No moodiness or "artistic drama", or just staring at the fretboard. Damn; it's just FUN to play music! I've been playing with my kids for years, but you guys have taken it to another level!
True the last time I saw it was Yvette Young when she played 'Sprout'. She smiles when playing and its joyful to watch just like Ellen, but in a different way.
Plenty of female forerunners - perhaps an A+++ female bass player - and knock off the female. Person is good - and has a long way to go, so do what you know Labrador-style, just live in the moment.
Like most people, I've been going through a lot of tough life stuff for a while. The unbridled joy on Ellen's countenance is so infectious, that I find myself shedding some of my self pity when I see/hear her play. My favorite part of each performance is her spontaneous laughter mid-stream. She can't help herself. How many of us are able to console a multitude of strangers with something so pure and beautiful? Her music is a comfort to the afflicted. I hope I live long enough to see her accept her first grammy. Kudos to her family for the obvious support and encouragement.
Much respect for the father teaching his daughter a worthy instrument, she has a very bright future if she is at this level at this age plus the father isn’t too bad himself, very clean and precise playing brother 👊👍💪👌🥰🥰🙏🙏
Hard to find words for this, you both TOTALLY ROCK!!! You are amazing guitar players! I'm so glad I found this, it's so heartwarming to see Dad and daughter doing this together! Congratulations Dad for sharing the gift of music with Ellen, it will last her a lifetime!! Please keep the music coming!!!
I just love the magic between Ellen and dad. You both rock. Apart from the fact that Ellen is is going to be one of the world's greatest, I love reading the supportive comments and we are beaming with pride for you. All the best Ellen and family from Australia.
Oh, I love seeing you playing together. I was introduced to you several years back in a lesson you were giving Ellen on certain riffs, improvising lines, and it totally caught my attention. I love her musicality, her love for playing, and the grooves she digs. It's some of the best fun I've found. Love seeing her growing into her own! Way to go, Ellen! Nice coaching, Dad! :)
Awesome, you go girl and that is such joy to play music with your daughter. I do the same with my 14 year old daughter. Great tune and playing from both of you.
Very very special, an absolute natural with a flair way beyond her years,will watch out for her in the years to come, her father must be a very proud man.
My GOD that was beautiful ! NOW is the time that dad is off his stool proud . I didn't see one sloppy note coming from either one of you . Go Ellen , that almost brought me to tears . Thanks you two . :)
To converse dad to daughter is cool, to play off eachother and speak music is just so special....awesome job by both, Ellen has inspired me to learn bass...62 yr old and drummer for 58 yrs...thanks!
I love watching your joy when you and your Father are doing these videos. You two have a great relationship. Every kid should have such a cool Dad. Good luck with your career, Ellen.
Wow Ellen!!..that was absolutely incredible!!.. You and your dad, Hovak, are an incredible team!!.. I can’t wait to see both of you out on tour someday!!.. And, I love this song!!..it’s very tight and very well played!!.. not to mention a really great exercise in technique!!... I can’t wait to hear more!!🤗
Ellen is amazing and dad too! I play guitar and bass. My son was not interested in either. Would love for him to follow me. Ellen is such a joy every time I see her. I love once she finishes a song with a big laugh! Love it! May God bless the entire family!
It sounds like you're getting ready to go on the road... That was awesome, 9 more gets you your first album. Ellen, you are quite the role model for kids to learn music and have fun playing it.
Thank you so much everyone, we see and read your comments AND they mean a lot to us. Happy New Year, we'll see you all in 2022.
Happy New Year ! France is in 2022 , just now. Thank you for the music !
Happy new year from New Caledonia. Here 12 hours ago it’s new year 2022 Thank you very much HOVAK AND ELLEN take care
Happy new year

I am 74 and I totally agree!
Yeah,she has got it all.What a talent.
@@johnmartinussen1911
Yeah, talent indeed.
Unbelievable!
I am 63 and I love her too.
She is just indescribable. There is no words to describe her TALENT. Very impressive.
And very cute too. 😊
Amen!!
Her laugh at the end of each song she plays is priceless!

BASS
Very nice!! Love to see you play together. Great groove!!
Agree. Watching Dad and Ellen is magical.
What an AWESOME little Bass player. I don't EVER see her miss a note as she is just IN the groove and FEELING it. TOTALLY amazing ! You ROCK Ellen !
I am a Buddhist monk from Thailand .Every time I see this kid playing bass my heart fill with proudness that her parent must have.
aren't you break the 8th Sila? 😂😂😂
She is going to be even more amazing by the time she weighs more than her bass. I can tell y'all are having so much fun. Great music.
I think she'll be just about ready to do studio session work during her next school vacation! I don't really see her working a lemonade stand or biking a paper route.
@@thudor1 not a chance

I'm in awe. Not just of Ellen but dad too. What a great guitarist.
Father and daughter playing together is just so great.
LOL My daughter started to play guitar with me, then she found boys! Oh well! :)
Rsss por isso , cada minuto tem que ser aproveitado ao máximo!! Pois eles crescem tão rápido e oque acaba sobrando são registros e lembranças.... mas quando esses laços são fortes, eles não arrebentam jamais!!!
Her timing and sence of groove is impecable
My thoughts exactly.
Yeap! I noticed that also. Many people don't understand that music is timing!
And this added with very, very good bass sound! Mucho bueno, indeed!
Her timing is exquisite... hard to wrap my head around that she was just 9 years old when this video was made.
That bass is as big as she is and she plays it like a pro already! Watching those tiny fingers plucking those strings and moving up and down that fretboard brings such a smile to my face. Keep up the great work.

Same! 🥹🥰
Your happiness and attitude will carry you through life and make you successful in whatever you do. You're a beautiful soul!
What a great original piece. Great to see daddy’s amazing chops too. Beautiful playing - Ellen mastering the syncopation and so tight! Look out world - here comes Ellen!!!!
Yep, just a matter of time before she's rubbing elbows w/ppl like Paul Maccartney and the likes. She's astoundingly talented and so is her Father.
@@dennisfrederick751 and Steve Vai
What a joy to watch this beautiful child perform. She is absolutely amazing and her smile is priceless! Great to see Dad teaching and investing the time that she will always cherish!
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. This melts my heart.
watch her do penny lane, adoreable
She is amazing. And so dang cute!!
Que talentosa con el bajo, increible, se paso, y muy simpática

Absolutely loved it both class players, and Ellen's joy is lovely to watch.
I predict she's going to be the worlds best female bass player one day. 🎉
I believe it's more important she will for sure make a lot of people fall in love with bass (all over again?)
She already is 😎
Female? Try bassist!
@@edwardlangdon9256Thinking the same thing. Why stop at female?! 🤘🍻

Infectious... Hit the nail on the head... she has fun doing this.
So much joy - so awesome to see a father and daughter playing together. Absolutely priceless.
This girl and Dad duet is amazing.
9 years old and she's got that groove? Simply amazing. I'm in awe! She's got the gift and there's no stopping her!
The joy of being able to make music is evident in Ellen's face, her smile is infectious and her laughter is pure music indeed.
Ellen you are very good! 💯👏👏👏💫

I first saw Ellen with Kids rock cover Muse. I never saw any of them before but right away I knew Ellen was someone special. ❤
Please don't stop the future. This was a very tight groove. Got me air drumming all over the room lol. Thanks for sharing!!
Extremely hard for young and small hands. She’s pretty amazing. Imagine in 10 more years….
This is what life is about. Love you two!💙

I am with you. I love watching Ellen
You just put a smile to my face, Dad and Daughter..have a happy New Year (Honolulu 6:19pm, Dec 31)//
