    I’ve been playing bass for 40 years … professionally for the past 5 years… I come to this channel to learn from Ellen… what a gift these two are to our bass player community

      @walterneilson8119 your comment intrigues me. What has your journey been like to have played bass for so long to just recently go pro? I'm in my early 40's with only a few years of bass playing under my belt. I've never gigged, done session work or play in a band but often wonder what a career in music would look like. What made you finally go pro after all those years?

      Great job Ellen. I totally get exited to watch someone learning more about something that love doing. Also special shout out to Hovac. I get as much fun hearing your instructions . I almost get as much fun from your instructions as Ellen's playing. Not that you care about those kind of things 🥴🥴

      It really depends on the music you play. Been playing guitars and bass for about thr same time. I play rock. I don't care for jazz, funk or country. Focus on the roots and play around that and fill in with whater sounds good and lay down 1/8ths.
      I have tried other genres on bass and it just dont feel right. I don't want the limelight and had that on guitar. I am more than happy to stand back and blast simple bass lines and let my guitarists shine.

    Ellen reminds me of my brother practicing the accordion when he was about 5. He and my mom would practice about 1 hour every day. He loved the accordion and was great. He won numerous festivals over the years. He was never as happy as when he was playing. Later in life, when he was in junior high, he could pick up his accordion, and after about 10 minutes play hits off the radio. Ellen really loves her music and is so fun to watch.

    • @wohlhabendermanager
      @wohlhabendermanager 4 месяца назад +9

      Never EVER let skilled musicians dampen your fun. Yes, Ellen is amazing, but talent alone isn't what makes her so great (it sure does help, of course). She puts in a lot of work to be this good.
      Obviously, not all of us can put in this amount of work she does, so obviously our own playing will sound bad compared to hers. But that doesn't mean you should quit playing. Instead, continue to play bass because I feel playing an instrument yourself it helps you to admire great talent even more. :)
      Also, I bet the last thing Ellen and her Dad want is for anyone to quit playing because of the videos.

    I like this because it shows that even a skilled individual like Ellen has to practice and face small challenges before achieving the perfect shot. So, everyone learning how to play bass, remember this is part of the process. Embrace your struggles and failures with a smile, continue practicing, and you will keep improving! Never let the struggle defeat you!

Best content on RUclips for sure 👍🏼

My favorite styles are Latin, bossa nova, and funk. Keep up the good work, you got the chops, stay in the pocket. Jam tracks help you think and play outside the box, and be creative.
