@@AlanOnBass65 yes. Their are a few losers on the Yoyoka channel (the 13 year old Japanese girl who plays wonderful drums, many times with her family). I guess that these kind of animals either have nothing to do to get attention or on occasion bitter musicians who probably have little talent and criticize other musicians because it makes them not feel as bad about their lack of success.
@@bertjones3010 yes. I learned a long time ago as a musician that I would rather be criticized and hated than ignored. The late great jazz trumpeter/composer once said " I would rather be criticized for being the world's worst innovator, than their world's best imatator". Your critics will change as you get older, and find new things to criticize you about.
Hovak, i'll keep in touch in regards with Ellen's interview. I sent an email one month ago. Still in the vault but very soon. You and Ellen with me from France. Stay tuned. Love!
Sir, your daughter is absolutely precious. She's a talented gem who is destined for the stars. I am 47 and have played various other instruments but I've always wanted to play the bass. My first bass arrived today. I found the video of your daughter playing Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder and she has inspired me to learn it too. The duet you guys did together was awesome and I enjoyed both of you playing. Enjoy those moments because they grow up so fast. Her laugh is infectious and I hope she continues to enjoy playing her music. Take care!
My goodness you are more adult than an most adults. Love listening to you and all your goodness. Bless you sweetheart and you have a wonderful father for fullfilling your interests.🤩
Ellen is so cute, so filled with joy and so gifted. I don't know if anyone else picked up on it, she began her explanation on how she got started with the word "basically."
As far as female bassist go, if you don't know who Julie Slick is, she is amazing. She is my favorite bass player. She has toured with Adrian Blew, been a part of several other projects, and has her own band called Echo Test. Worth checking out. Love Ellen and her passion for learning and her spunky personality. Keep on being a great star, you will light up the sky... ;)
Love you and your awesome family!! Well done, Mom & Dad!!! Ellen is not only super talented but extremely well-rounded...simply joyful to listen to her play and speak about her playing.
When I get depressed, I watch your videos. Your energy and genuine happiness picks me up, makes my day. You make me cry, may you get all the blessings life has for you.
Ellen, you are a very large inspiration to me and a lot of people. i cant play drums anymore due to my health, but i am going to start playing bass guitar because of watching you. never give up, and never lose your smile.
@ 8:15 or so...I think i hear Ellen answer, "I am from Armenia'. ?? ... is that right?.... Wow! Guess Hovak moved the family at some very-early point in Ellen's life; So glad you guys got to the States! I'm from Las Vegas. Grew up there ( many decades ago) In Reno, NV now. Blessings and Cheers to you Both! Love this Channel!
One of the nicest channels on RUclips...The Father and Daughter thing...The talent...Ellen 's great but l enjoy watching her dad play as well...very smooth across the fret board...he makes it look easy...
I started piano two years ago, but Bass is a part of my destiny. I sing 2Bass, and I have admired many players, including Chris Squier. I love that Ricky sound.
Ellen, You are so Blessed. I'm 50 and have been playing Bass since I was 14, I used to play a lot Live, and in studios in LA, although I have not played professionally in a long time. But watching you is inspiring and I so look forward to watching your career explode as I know it will. You are also Blessed to have a father who is so Amazing and who is showing you the best life, and encouraging you to be the best that you can be. you are both so positive, I pray for you both and look forward to more videos.
What always amazed me about Tal was that she had only been playing bass for maybe 3.5 - 4 years, prior to doing that Crossroads concert with Jeff Beck. Same with Ellen...she plays so well for being so young and for not having been playing for very long. I can only imagine how much better she'll be in 4 years.
Your dad must be such a sweet soul, the delicate way he's carrying U on the world stage is inspiring, as your passion for BASS is! Great example of modern living getting the most out of today's technology without all the garbage of social networking, bravi! Much love from Italy!
Ellen you have the magic that only the best can experience- the joy you express and ease of playing and amazing feel shine - you are a real player! Wishing you all the best! As a former child musician who did not have parental guidance- kudos to your Dad! Blessings on your musical journey.
It's great to see Ellen and her dad teaching her about all the quality of music but for the father do you like Scott Henderson the guitarist I got to meet him in Cleveland Ohio
They have a relationship that not every father/daughter share. Music connects you in a deeper-way. It's the universal language, and one of life greatest gifts. These 2 are so wonderful together, and Ellen is a really good bass player. oNe LovE from NYC
friendly, funny, she can explain it well and can play bass guitar well, and of course the daddy is also very friendly and musical and good relationship with his daughter greetz Luc from Belgium
por favor, un gran abrazo a tu padre! que es un gran ejemplo del apoyo para los futuros musicos! sos un angel y una bajista genial!!!!! abrazos desde Argentina!!!!!!!!
I have three daughters - who are now productive adult members of society - and I have a granddaugther too - Ellen reminds me of her and the relationship I now have with her as a granddad is similar to what Ellen has with her dad - love - trust - respect and joy :)
I love your family dynamic and your love for music as a family. God bless you always! Keep smiling and spreading love and happiness and positivity through your bass playing! You’re awesome!
I love you soooo much!!!! My dog is very sick and I was super sad tonight. I watched this video and it made me smile!! I always smile when I watch your videos :-)
For the dad that comes home everyday to see that happy little face to greet you... I know even without asking it "this the most magical thing is it not". I was a bassist many years ago, and played modern jazz. Perhaps at some stage listen to Ray Brown playing with Oscar Peterson. Great lessons in 4/4 timing and innovative bass lines. I only wish someone would have told me about jazz at a young age. And finally, for a little face and heart that light up other people, keep being this wonderful person. ==BOZE==
What I really like Ellen because she has so much fun in doing what she does. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I hope you will be on TV again. Have a great day 😀
Like I said before someone deleted my comment ,not to many kids get to be on the Steve Harvey show. Ellen whoever dislikes your music and they put it on here well, their either jealous or just dumb. I watch all of your music and I like the questions your Dad reads. You are going places and I hope you make the big time. Ellen you have a good weekend and the dog too. God bless you 🙏
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Ellen....the dog too! :-) As an elementary teacher (grades 2 & 3) it is so good to see a child who is doing something she loves so much. Music is a fantastic thing to have in your life. It touches every other subject you have in school. Keep up the hard work and keep smiling!!
“It’s always the bass…” YES it is Ellen! That’s when you know it’s meant to be the passion you follow 💜 you found yours early and inspiring others! I found mine at 50 years old, I’m 64 now and I haven’t stopped playing since. Love your style and heart 💜 ✌️
Q: Have you ever heard Victor Wooten play? Ellen: _in all grown up voice, nodding gently_ we're friends. 🤣 You're so lucky to find your groove so early, Ellen. Best of luck!
Love me some Tal "the shaver" Wilkenfeld! I've also been recently introduced to daddy's videos and you sir are awesome! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! You guys Rock!!
Wow glad You know who Jaco is Ellen! If she hasn’t already let her listen to Havona by Weather Report from the CD Heavy Weather! Havona is Jaco’s masterpiece! It’s great that the kids these days have so much info at their fingertips. I think it makes it easier to learn things!
I was excited to hear that your favorite strings are DRs! I just recently discovered them and they are fantastic! I'm slowly switching over to them on all my acoustic guitars - like 13 of them. Thanks for the confirmation!
Another great Q&A Ellen and Dad. So happy that you are a fan of Tal like me. I am an Aussie just like her. The videos and music that you and your Dad make, always leave me smiling A LOT. Thank you.
Ellen my son started just like you... He learned to play "another bites the dust" on bass and it was on from there he's a music 🎶 🎵 producer now take it in stride your a GOAT at what you do, keep on keeping on... We live amongst haters it's like catching a cold 🥶
This is yet another video that makes me happy! You 2 are just an awesome father-daughter duo and I'm sure that your mom makes you all a fantastic trio. 🙂Cheers!
Thank you for taking time to answer the questions. It's great to hear so many exciting projects are in the works. I wish you and your family have a wonderful holiday season.
You are very talented Ellen with an amazing personality. Every time you post a new video it lights up my life. Keep going. and ignore any negative feedback............those kind of people are the losers in life. Follow your Dad's advice........he's so obviously very talented and a great guy..........so dedicated to ensuring your future success. Also, not forgetting your Mum who has a great talent in making you up to be so presentable. There's a lot of hard work and talent gone into producing such quality videos.
Well done you three. I would imagine your all aware of Sina Doering, of Sina Drums on YT. I have followed her from her YT beginning and am always impressed with she and her father n sister collaborating with other young musicians. It would totally incredible if Ellen do a cover with them. Hey..Mom and Dad. I love how you keep the ‘balance’ in life for Ellen snd help her explore via your musical introductions and advice as well as quality instructions. I have no idea how long ago you immigrated to the USA, but welcome and thank you for helping to make America the safe home for all nations people’s.
Ellen Listen to some early YES music, with Chris Squire on bass, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th albums , one of the best bass players ever, he was Getty Lee's favorite, i think you will like his creativity! Keep on playing, i have been for 50 years! God bless you, Stay safe! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Ellen I love your videos you are already a great bass player and I believe you will learn a lot. Congratulations continue this loving and talented girl.
I love you guys! Ellen, you are so fun to watch when you play! Happy Thanksgiving to your wonderful family! When you answered the question about your favorite food, I thought you were going to say "cake"!!!
I have the exact bass as Ellen only in white, the Sterling by MusicMan Stingray short scale bass. They are awesome! I am a mature adult and the Sterling is a good size for me.
Love this Journey! So glad to find out you're a fan of Tal. I'd never heard of her till I saw the Jeff Beck live at Ronnie Scott's dvd. Awesome player, just like you SisDVD. Love this channel, keep Rockin! #basslikeaGirl
Thanks so much Ellen & Hovak for another great, honest and happy video. That cake looks really great, by the way. 😋 A question for Ellen, maybe for the next Q&A: Have you heard (of) Tony Levin? He's the bass-player who inspired me. If you haven't yet, I recommend listening to Peter Gabriel's 'So' album, King Crimson's 'Discipline' album (Of course!!!) and 'Bruford-Levin Upper Extremities'. (also, Bill Bruford is one of the world's most amazing drummers. Ever... 👍🖖👋)
Hi Ellen, I'm 67 years old and I've just started learning bass. Hopefully I'll be at least a quarter as good as you. Greetings from Bad Homburg Germany
Hi Ellen I have been following you for a while, you are so fun to watch and such a sweatheart and a great bass player And you always make me smile.I'm looking forward to your next video. Greetings to you and you're dad from the Netherlands.👍💖
I'm sure Tal Wilkenfeld is a big fan of you too, Ellen! 😉 And Mr. Sklar would be laughing so hard right now hehehe! Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Greetings from Netherlands.
Ellen your dad is an awesome musician with an awesome attitude brings joy to my heart to see you two interact in such a positive way you both are a positive role more than people can realize your talent is a beautiful gift though your interactions together show a positive family show structure thank you Ellen for inspiring my daughter and your dad's positive interaction with you has that fueled my positive interaction my youngest child as well and I just wanted to say thank you
Your a amazing young lady💯👍wishing you continue success. You have an amazing father in contributing to your learning abilities in music appreciation & techniques. Continue 🙌 💛
Oh, and... Do you know the "Thunder" album that Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller & Victor Wooten recorded together? That's a really amazing album. And an interesting exercise for a talented young bass-player is to see if you can identify who of these three absolute legends is playing which part. Identifying each of them by their sound, style and feel. 😉 (Personally i always love it when Mr Miller plays the bass-clarinet. Which he also does on some of his solo-albums. Such a wonderful, deep and warm sound. ... But i digress ...) One aspect of learning music, (or learning anything, really), is that the more you learn, the more you become aware of how much _more_ there is to discover and learn. The trick is not to become overwhelmed or intimidated by this realisation. Instead just follow your heart and, especially, your curiosity. 🖖

To that one person who automatically dislikes my videos as soon as they are uploaded. I wish you all the success and happiness in your life.
That's sad that someone feels the need to automatically dislike your videos. They truly don't know what they are missing!

You don't really have a channel of any note until you pick up a serial disliker - like a badge of honor. And it's not me either ...

This dad must be happy as ever. Never seen a father laugh so much thanks to his daughter. Great connection. Tearful! ❤️.

Ellen is so cute, so filled with joy and so gifted. I don't know if anyone else picked up on it, she began her explanation on how she got started with the word "basically."
You 2 have an amazing relationship. It brings me joy.
You're my absolute favourite, Ellen! I can't wait to see more videos of you singing and playing bass. I know I'm watching a superstar in the making.

Twenty Five minutes with a big smile on my face 😂😍
That's funny because I found Tal on RUclips which led me to Ellen. I was amazed by both artists you are both fantastic.
I love you guys! Ellen, you are so fun to watch when you play! Happy Thanksgiving to your wonderful family! When you answered the question about your favorite food, I thought you were going to say "cake"!!!
Ellen your videos always make me smile.
I have the exact bass as Ellen only in white, the Sterling by MusicMan Stingray short scale bass. They are awesome! I am a mature adult and the Sterling is a good size for me.
thank you for giving us such joy in life that is so difficult
Thanks for reminding some of us why we learned to play in the first place.
Love this Journey!
So glad to find out you're a fan of Tal.
I'd never heard of her till I saw the Jeff Beck live at Ronnie Scott's dvd. Awesome player, just like you SisDVD.
Love this channel, keep Rockin!
#basslikeaGirl
All your videos are fun to watch. Enjoyed this very much.
Thanks so much Ellen & Hovak for another great, honest and happy video. That cake looks really great, by the way. 😋
A question for Ellen, maybe for the next Q&A: Have you heard (of) Tony Levin? He's the bass-player who inspired me. If you haven't yet, I recommend listening to Peter Gabriel's 'So' album, King Crimson's 'Discipline' album (Of course!!!) and 'Bruford-Levin Upper Extremities'. (also, Bill Bruford is one of the world's most amazing drummers. Ever... 👍🖖👋)
Hi Ellen, I'm 67 years old and I've just started learning bass. Hopefully I'll be at least a quarter as good as you. Greetings from Bad Homburg Germany
We love you too Dad
Hi Ellen I have been following you for a while, you are so fun to watch and such a sweatheart and a great bass player
And you always make me smile.I'm looking forward to your next video.
Greetings to you and you're dad from the Netherlands.👍💖
I'm sure Tal Wilkenfeld is a big fan of you too, Ellen! 😉
And Mr. Sklar would be laughing so hard right now hehehe!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
Greetings from Netherlands.
You guys are great. Thank you.
I definitely bought that there was something musical in that box! 📦
These are very wholesome, nice to see.
Ellen your dad is an awesome musician with an awesome attitude brings joy to my heart to see you two interact in such a positive way you both are a positive role more than people can realize your talent is a beautiful gift though your interactions together show a positive family show structure thank you Ellen for inspiring my daughter and your dad's positive interaction with you has that fueled my positive interaction my youngest child as well and I just wanted to say thank you
hahaha, 9 yrs old, and listen to all the bass players she knows. Ellen is awesome!
Your a amazing young lady💯👍wishing you continue success. You have an amazing father in contributing to your learning abilities in music appreciation & techniques. Continue 🙌 💛
