![Moneybagg Yo - WHISKEY WHISKEY [feat. Morgan Wallen] (Official Audio)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kJamyq0WplE/mqdefault.jpg)
what non guitarists and bassists need to know about this, is just how EXHAUSTING playing such a bass line is. It's playing every note in perfect time at 92bpm in a finger style without your hand going into a spasm. It takes great technique and a relaxed hand and a LOT of practice. superb stuff Ellen!
Agreed, my hand gets a cramp just watching it. Pretty incredible!
@@TheJbenwaa It's not as difficult to learn as it seems, it's mostly the same sequence repeated over and over, the difficulty is not in doing it once, but doing it again and again and again for almost four minutes.
I think it may stump some bass players because it's more like a guitar riff than a bass riff.
Jupp. This is a monster bass line. I have learned it, but it took a LOT of time! But dang! it is fun to play when you know it!!!
I was exhausted just watching. I played bass when I was young (not that young) and it IS exhausting. That girl has talent (and stamina).
Yeah the hand cramps are the worst haha. Bass definitely wears out your hand and arm muscles more just due to the gauge of the strings and thicker neck.
This bassline is ABSOLUTELY RELENTLESS on the fingers. No breaks. Nonstop 8th notes and moving all over the neck the entire time. To do this flawlessly as an adult is high level bass playing. To do it as an 11 year old is stunning.
I like to check back every now and then and see the latest comments.. Ihave to admit i have probably listened to this 50 times... I have been a fan since she first started and your right, its not only relentless and impressive, but just learning it was a challenge.
16th notes, even.
@@Charlie_B.and you played that when you were 11?
@@Charlie_B. nice another one.... well sir, you seemed to think that this 11 years old accomplishment was MEH. And then offered up something you said is so much more difficult. Thats my point. I can use pictures next time if that would help.
I can feel my Arthritis acting up.
She is definitely a prodigy. A great talent. Well done.
Espetacular. A mão quase não cabe no braço do baixo. Parabéns. Gratidão
She has been defined a prodigy by the legendary Earth, Wind and Fire. That Is enough.
Holy crap, it's all of them! They are beasts! When will the CD be out?
One things I've noticed from watching a lot of her videos, is that she has what you can't teach - groove. She'll be learning or practicing something and it's kinda not there, and she gives it a second or two, let's the 'feel' come in, then she catches the groove and she's killing it from then on. She rocks the crap out of every style. I wish I was that badass at anything in life.....
Not only an artist she’s a accomplished performer, OMG she has the most awesomest parents a person can have!!!!
Best part of her vids is when she gets close to the end of a song and realizes she has nailed it and breaks out into that big smile. Such a ray of light. 👍
You knew that smile was coming. Wait for it.....
Agreed !!
Absolutely agree
Always anticipating 🤓
She does have that “ nailed it “ grin. But dang, Ellen’s going be 12 , I think. So much talent and spirit in this one. 👍👍
I've heard many upcoming bass players playing Hysteria on RUclips and they do it well. The difference with Ellen is that she does it with flawless timing. All the time! So tight!
And super clean, you can hear every note
I hope she has a brighter future as a bassist. She enjoys doing what she loves here. And I also hope Chris Wolstenholme (Muse bassist) watches this and realises he's also an inspiration. That guy is really underappreciated. Great technique, stamina and tone. He once jokingly said: "I hate playing Hysteria. It hurts"
I'm sure it hurts. This song is a lot.Epic
I don't see a young girl playing the bass, I simply see a good solid musician that absolutely rocks
Hello my friend
I want to introduce a talented boy who is trying to become a musician with his own efforts. This boy is a guitar player and does taekwondo.
If you follow this boy's channel, you have given great support.
We are human and we should treat each other well
The name of the RUclips channel is...mani-xra🙏🙏🙏
what? she isn't a girl?
Are you seriously asking that? Ofcourse she is. You must be a troll.
@@SHERIPOTH I thought you were misgendering her as solid, sorry.
@@iantrolington6594 wow you're so hilarious. Bro got the whole comments section laughing 😒
A lot of Muse bass lines are trials of endurance. This kid's stamina is epic
I’ve worked on this song and it’s a marathon!
@@wb1065 Many times a "kid comes on the scene"; head scratcher as to how. Glad I've seen a bit of Ellen's journey.
People would think Hysteria is Muse’s ‘boss level’ bassline but it isn’t. It’s actually New Born. Still, Hysteria is a close second and it hurts to play. Kudos to Ellen!
@@aqimjulayhi8798 Young & nimble.
@@aqimjulayhi8798 I developed carpal tunnel syndrome and sadly had to give up on the bass never finishing my last challenge which was limelight by Rush. But have absolute respect for anyone willing to put in the work! Back to my first love, the drums 👍.
She must be a bass player reborn! and was probably already very capable in her past life! Absolutely incredible!
This girl is going to be a BEAST when she grows up. What awesome technique. You go, girl!
Already a beast!!
It’s not just her playing- it’s also her spirit and energy that makes her so wonderful. That smile melts icebergs.
That's the point. She's talented no questions. But the smile the passion. I wish her to keep it.
Fun! When it stops so does that special sound. Hard to keep up that energy and level of just having fun with it!
Vote 10 for the choice of the song
Vote 10 for the perfect execution (and not easy for very young fingers)
Rated 10 for that hair, too cool
Rated 10 for that happy smile
Rock On Girl!!! 🤘🏼❤🤘🏼
From my eyes and my ears…. Flawless! I am more and more impressed with every video. As a bass player, I cannot commend you enough. The other day I was having a conversation about favorite players and when it came to bass I said Billy Sheehan, Dana Strun, Ellen Alaverdyan, Geddy Lee and that’s in no particular order. This Muse song isn’t easy to play and you just made it look like it was cake. Girl, keep it going. You are a phenom. And you are doing something very special. Mad love to dad, I think it is absolutely amazing what you do and your role in Miss Ellen’s growth. Keep the focus and keep playing, everything… pop to metal to jazz to Latino to east listening, everything… every song you learn, will teach you more and more. It could be something as simple as a Poison song banging on 3rd fret E string to something from Flea. I am very proud of and I am super excited to see where you go. Congrats kiddo, you are well in your way to greatness!
Ditto.....Ellen is absolutely amazing even from day one I agree 💯💯💯👍👍
What a beautiful message to this lil star!!
Great playing, Ellen! You are sounding amazing!
@@etiennecfourie777 Yeah, it's going to help her growth to tell her that she is # 3 in the world on bass !.
@@dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465 she's an accomplished musician and not a number!
Getting older I'm sure there will be 1000 music bands begging her playing bass with them...! Just now at this point Ellens skills are unbelievable - wow!!! Why not trying to meet Leland Sklar - the old man with his experience of 50 years playing the bass live and in the studio? He was the "Bass Man" playing often concerts with Phil Collins and many other superstars! I believe this could be a great gig!!! Chapeau, little lady - I'm sure you'll make your way! 😍
That stance. Those head turning, braid flinging moves. The absolute mastery of timing and touch. Even the smile at the end. Ellen, you are a star already. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Agree. and her earlier smile at 2:09 shows that she will nail it.
First thing, her tone is massive and crystal clear. I love it. Second, her fingerpicking is impeccably clean. Third, she's making that look effortless although I've no doubt she practices for hours daily or almost daily. She really is incredibly good.
I'll never forgive myself for not picking up bass when I was a kid because I was living in a rural area and being different was looked as something bad. this is insanely good.
Omg that endurance..that skill .. hysteria is not an easy song ..and she's flawless
I’m impressed.
Respect 👏
Bassist for almost 20 years, you absolutely nailed this
I'm 71 years old and play bass,...I hope to one day be as good as she is! WOW!!
It's very sad that you've been playing for 50+ years and can't play better than a little girl.
It's not a competition, is it?@@alexeypolevoybass
@@billstahlin1774 everything is a competition if you want to be at least half decent at your craft.
I guess we see things differently,...the bass guitar doesn't distinguish the age of the player. Check your ego!@@alexeypolevoybass
@@billstahlin1774 my ego is fine, just as my technique. But as for yours, they're both in very miserable state.
YEAH! All you bassists and guitar players out there, just count all the notes in this, I dare you. You'll have to slow it way down and listen fifty times. Now play 'em all this well and keep the groove this tight without any rest. This song is an endurance exercise as well as being fairly hard technically. The power in those little hands is amazing... and you can tell she's been practicing hard lately too. Ellen rocks. God bless you, girl, we love you. She's the next Tal, I said it a year ago.
As a bass player that can play this song... she crushes it. The fatigue in the fingers is real on this and she makes it look easy. Very talented bass player right there.
i never once seeing 11 yr old girl was able to hit on bass and she did it seamlessly, hey Mom or Dad of Ellen, if you happen to seeing my comment, tell your daughter that she has done well and keep up the good work she did bro
That looked really tricky yet you just performed it brilliantly. Way to go Ellen.
a m prom indonesia god job ellen
I'm hearing notes that I've never noticed before. Genius bassline cover. 11 years old!!!?? What a fantastic future she deserves 👏
This looks so hard to play - but you are doing it like it was nothing. WOW ! I see very bright future for her
And then you watch some of her videos where she is practicing and you see how hard it really is. I guess she just puts tons of time and effort into it. I think that is what is unusual about her relative to most 11 year olds (and however old when she started).
@@NickRoman Yeah I know - I play the piano too - I spend 3 hours every day
@@NickRoman Agree. I can't get my 8 year old to spend 3 minutes a week to practice guitar...
@@nightmareTomek cause maybe guitar isn't the right instrument for the 8 years old
@@nightmareTomek maybe your kid doesn't like guitar? Why pushing it down their throat then?
My God The talent and skill she has. Its incredible. This is one of the hardest base parts i've ever seen!
I'm sitting here watching this with tears in my eyes. You've restored a little of my faith in humanity. Seriously, mind blown! Your talent and dedication is like a breath of fresh air amidst the mind-numbing wasteland of social media dumbdumb 'influencers'. Forget the pointless trends and dance challenges, THIS is where the real magic happens! Kudos to you for reminding us what true talent looks like! You earned a subscriber today. Sometimes the RUclips algorithm gets it right.
Well said!
i agree completely tears in my eyes as well
With 456K subs I think it might be more of a blind squirrel finding a nut if it worked hard enough. Which brings us to why You Tube is so prideful to think their product has enough value to see subs for themselves too whilst never producing a paragon with consistency. Nope, she has that effect on everybody that watches and listens to her. She's not just good.
Kudos, kudos, kudos all around!!!! Unbelievable!
@@LiveToRidee me too! So cool!
You and your dad are an inspiration to so many people, I heard a guy say if he saw you when he was younger he’d quit his guitar. Not me watching you and your father work together push me to practice the piano more. Thank you both and don’t stop growing in your craft.
The timing impresses me most. To have such precise timing at such a young age bodes very well for her musical endeavors.
Right in the middle of the note. Precision.
As a drummer speaking kudos to you and would absolutely love to have a bass player as yourself young lady! Keep at it, you are already uber talented, the sky is not even the limit for you!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👊
As a bass player, and like so many others have already said, this bassline is a KILLER! My hands got tired watching you! Amazing job as always, Miss Ellen! I have loved watching you develop and grow in your musical journey! Keep it up, young lady! You are a STAR!
Happy Father's Day to the man behind such an amazing musician. It's your support and love that owes some credit to her abilities and confidence, but most importantly the love of music you share and the relationship you both have 👍
My father left :(
😢😢😢 she's pure class..!!! Naturally gifted❤❤❤
@@thatguy6468Is that why you're a bit crap?
@@thatguy6468 - My deepest condolences to you regarding your father. If you can't play WITH him, maybe you could play FOR him, in his memory. Use the music to keep him alive and present in your heart and mind.......
@@davelindstrom6005 well my dad did play acoustic guitar
This young lady has a lot of talent. I'm a bass player and I watch other young musicians in covers, but this girl really has a big difference in her way of playing the bass guitar. Incredible.
Yup, it’s this God given timing. It’s so perfectly balanced, it almost sounds ordinary, but it is not, her timing is incredible, it’s so musical.
Incredible talent - such a joy to watch and listen to. And the reward of her cute, cute smile at the end. Bravo, Ellen.
--- I feel we have just been introduced to a preteen young lady who doesn't spend 85% of her life glued to a cellphone
You are a Star. Ive spent 12 years in a band and I am blown away at your technique and finger stamina. Sweetheart, Im 65 and may not live long enough to see you fully shine...but when you do...WOW!!! YOU ARE AWESOME 😎
In my humble opinion that's probably one of the trickier arrangements to play. The fact that you went for 4 minutes at that pace brings only one word to my mind. OUTSTANDING!!!
Amazing ...the refined dexterity of decades long dedication to excellence condensed into such a young , young lady who can dazzle the accomplished all while the joy of her youth comes through in her expressions and mannerism .
Many comments made by many more senior than she bassists make obvious how difficult the passages are relative to tempo ..she is truly a gifted prodigy 👏👏👏👏👏...bravissima !
I listen to this now and again.. Its a joy and education of the importance of Bass guitar. Ellen is great and captures the mood of it.. Brilliant
Wow!! The word "limits" just becomes less and less relevant for you, little Miss. You are blessed, not only with talent but with the desire to crash every barrier in your way. 👏👏👏👏👏
Every note is played with surgical precision. Extremely impressive 👏
STUNNING, just stunning. The stamina it takes to play a song like that, without a break whatsoever, is why Ellen will be a world class player. She actually already is....😁
I have no idea whether she can play this without a break, or how many times it took her to play this even _with_ breaks
You've clearly never tried to play “New Born”, that one is a real stamina exercise.
Yeah! It's a real pleasure to see and to hear you playing! Thanks for this moment of good energy 🤘🤩
Absolut perfekt❤ Sie wird einen großen Namen haben und in die Musikgeschichte eingehen. Unfassbar!!!
She's good. This is one of the hardest songs I've heard her play so far. This really proves that she's not just a young person playing so so difficulty songs, She's getting to the point where she's good really good
All I can say is WOW! I know she has tremendous amount but the amount of time in practicing that it takes just on that song is craze!!!
It's a very difficult bass part and Ellen just owns it. The focus and concentration, the groove, the sheer musicality. Wow, from a fellow musician. Great stuff, Ellen.
How can someone so young have such incredible mastery of an instrument??? That absolutely blows my mind! Also, she has more cool factor than I have ever had, or ever will have. Amazing!
The future is bright with young musicians like Ellen. Rock and Roll will never die.
Ellen...this made my day! Amazing stuff and ability. Never stop playing!
This young lady is just amazing....I must have watched this 10 times now in complete awe. Well done!!
I'll never complain again about how small my hands are to play my bass. Amazing! Keep rocking!!
How on earth do those tiny fingers maintain a consistent clean rhythm on the strings for a long time? Only bassists will understand what I mean by that!
Adorably clean rhythm
Adorable energy
Adorable focus
Adorable hairstyle
Adorable piece of act
An adorable gurl Ellen!
I also appreciate your parents in a special way, especially your dad..👏🙏🙏
Incredible! Such strength in those little fingers!
Can you imagine her playing ability when she is grown up, I can’t play this with my adult hands
AMAZING!!! You absolutely SMOKED that bassline!!! Don’t ever give up, you’re gonna be a HUGE star before you know it, and we all be enjoying your skills with massive smiles on our faces! 😃👍
Wow
Bin zu Tränen gerührt! Einfach erstklassig! Ich bin mir sicher, ich werde noch viel von Dir hören! Du bist eine "Kleine ganz groß"!!! Rockige Grüße aus Deutschland von Gaby,60Jahre alt, Bassgitarrenfan!!❤
Lost for words: WOW.
Two weeks ago I saw Ale (The Warning) live.
One day I hope to see you Ellen live. Just turning 11 years old and making this bold statement.
Even the sky isn't the limit for you.
Great great job
Holy cow, this insane flow of 16ths is so damn hard to pull off consistently, and she did it perfectly on time throughout the entire piece. Mad respect, there is no way in hell I could play this anywhere as well even after weeks of practising.
Nothing short of amazing every time i listen to her videos. The range of styles, and work ethic are unreal. All with great energy and love of music. Don't get much better than that...
Her tone is bang on but her finger work is a thing of beauty to watch. I also love the fact that her bass is almost the same size as she is. The smile on her face at the end 🥹Truly awesome work and a joy to the ears and soul 🤘✊
Speechless!!! So Amazing!!! It has been so much fun watching you blossom...you go girl!!!
Thank the Lord there are supremely musically talented kids still out there!!
"Actually ,I really love Bass guitar music, and I'm currently learning to play Bass guitar.I have been following your videos, Ellen, regularly.You truly inspire me a lot, you are doing so well.Keep it up,God will take you far beyond what you expect.
I'm 53 and just started playing bass. What an inspiration to see these videos. Keep up the great work. If I can get even a 1/4 as good I will be happy!
This young lady is growing, thriving, evolving, A great future ahead of her!!
ive been playing for many, many years and i rarely make it through this song without messing up. you got some serious talent. your technique is better than most musicians in their 40s. keep it up girl! I look forward to listening to you play for many years to come! I cant wait to see you on stage someday tearing that bass up!
Mesmerizing
This girl just made my day ❤.
And it's been one of those days. Watched this a couple of times.
You ROCK Ellen 👍
I was going to request that you did this Ellen. I’m so glad you already have. Muse are unreal and Chris is amazing just like you
Love Love Love Watching Her Play... So Damned Talented At Such a Young Age.. Just Blows Me Away..
You Go Girl... Thank You For Sharing........
Holy crap! So tight and driving! Great tone too! 🎸🔥
Wow! That song is such a beast and there's no stopping and Ellen nailed it! Great job, and nice tone!
Everything is great with this video.....Ellen's skills, the bass itself, the song and the production.
Reminiscent of a young Ale with The Warning! You did an incredible job! Nice smile at the end 🎸🔥🤘
Yeah, Ale is great. It always makes me smile when she kind of kneels, then stands up and flips her head back. 🤘
@@heylad Yes! Plays bass with flair, hair flipper extraordinaire! 😁🤘
@@heylad i wonder if they're a fan of each other.
Sounds like Ale, ‘The Goddess of Thunder’, might have some competition coming up. She was about your age when she nailed this tune, also.
@@douglydooright4580 Yeah a coupla great young bass players! Boris and Natasha...way off base players 😁
Didn't miss a beat...Total pro...I love it...This is one of my favorite non heavy metal basslines, and she pulls it off flawlessly...
Absolutely badass! I can't even express how much this rocks! Keep playing Ellen!!
So cool! You can see how happy and dedicated she is bravo!!
Ellen, your playing is on another level! The songs you choose to cover are never basic. They're all advanced level bass lines and you NAIL THEM every time! Just awesome.... You are the poster child for up and coming musicians.
When I need a little mood lift I seek out one of Ellen's videos... they never fail to lift my spirits. It take real effort to nail these pieces and the reward for me is seeing the little smile after a particular passage and the smile at the end. Thank you!
Watching this with my mouth wide open and my jaw on the floor 😮 Stunning!!
Ellen, that was as professional as it gets. You did a fantastic job of playing the bass on that song.
Simply put, AMAZING! You tore it up, loved it, Elen thank you for the video I look so forward to seeing them.
You have really progressed big time in your playing. It’s always a joy to watch your videos. You are amazing!
My favorite part of your videos is the smile and giggle at the end. Keep having fun. Playing music should be exactly that.
Absolute PERFECTION in my eyes and ears at least... Perfect timing, and note for note as I recall... and a cute smile of happiness at the end!!! AWESOME!!!!
Aww, that smile at the end knowing you’re about to finish the song. You did it! That was amazing! Quite frankly this is one of the more accurate covers of this song that I’ve seen. Well done Ellen!
That is totally phenomenal!! You are amazing Ellen!!
Really insanely great playing! It blows my mind how great of a musician you are.
I've watched this countless times and I will keep coming back! Awesome musician!
Holy moly, that was absolutely TERRIFIC! I don't know how many other people requested that song, but as for me, I thank you. I'm very picky about my music -- I can't even watch some bands live -- and that was, as far as I can tell, absolutely perfect!
That must have taken a lot of work, but you NAILED that, my friend. I hope you enjoy doing it as much as we enjoy hearing it. Bravo!
I think I'll be re-watching this over and over. That's one of my favorite songs, and you very much did it justice.
I'm always flabbergasted by the sheer athleticism of handling an instrument like this. Awesome!
Epic!!! 🔥 This kid’s playing is superb!!! 👌🏼🎸
Dang kid!!! Been a minute since I've caught one of your videos and I'm absolutely blown away by your progress and evolving skill set!!!!! CRUSHING IT!!!!!!🔥
Goodness, I don’t even know what to say. This is just a fantastic performance, Ellen! You absolutely nail it and it’s a pretty aggressive bass part. As others have noted, the best part is your smile and obvious love for the music. Keep it up.
I love watching youth who are spot on with timing and proficiency. What an amazing talent and I am sure TONS of hard work. Great Job... Keep it up!!
Ellen, I absolutely adore you and you inspire me. I'm a 50 year old man who picked up guitar a year ago. This video inspired me to learn this bass line on guitar. Its so much fun to play. Never underestimate the positive impact you make on other people of all ages. You are a rare gem indeed
GO ELLEN! So much endurance needed for this one…amazing ❤😮!
wow, i just am such an admirer of your talent, dedication, and the love of playing. I never heard of this band or song; it may tell that I'm a much older audience. lol, but this choice not only shows how amazing you can play, but how you touch others with your continued performances. I truly have a very hard time figuring out how anyone's fingers can move that fast, thanks for sharing every video you make as it makes me smile, be in awe, and brightens my day.
You go Ellen!!! Just love that groove!
I wish I knew how many attempts it took her to nail it. I am so proud of this little lady.
Hands down the best cover I've seen on this channel. Ellen's officially a rocker!
