Talent is all over these two. No one can recreate their sound. Notes are held for just the right millisecond of time. Ellen has such unique syncopation that one must listen closely. It warms the heart to see such genuine love between father and daughter.
Hovak, you're a fantastic musician. I mean it. But as a father maybe you're even greater. Now, I am a 66 yo italian bassplayer and every time I watch Ellen playing, even the most complex lines with such nonchalance, my jaws drop and I don't know if it's because she is so confident at that age or for the pure technical skills she has... Bravo Hovak and bravissima Ellen... :)
There are no words for how much this touched me! It would be easy to say how beautiful the guitar was (just breathtaking), or the bass (equally stunning), or your playing (the synchronicity was spellbinding), but it was the love that floated between the two of you that took my breath away, the smiles, the sparkle in both of your eyes for each other, the magic that was just so apparent! It jumped right off the screen and into my heart...
i so much miss my dad we used to Jam all the time too but now hes Gone with GOD .. Love youo DAD and i Miss YOU so MUCH!!! hes my Guitarist and im his Drummer . I love your content guys please keep it up . i love you both\
First time watching this channel. When your daughter (i'm guessing) said "definitely not tuned" when you strummed the guitar after unboxing, I was kinda impressed. Like, hmh, good ear on such a young girl, must've picked up some stuff hearing her dad play. Then came the part of the video of her playing, and I was like "ooooooh". Also, goes without saying, the guitar is absolutely incredible.
I knew you guys rock but I was not expecting that heavy awesomeness at the end! You guys are as amazing a family as you are artists. Hovak, you and your wife are WINNING at the parenting thing and Ellen, you are a class act and all your guys’ videos brighten my day!
Very cute "bye" at the end. You two are awesome and inspiring. The instrumental was such so major. I know of Mayones Guitars as I want a mini bass, but Ono I don't know and is a very big beautiful surprise. I don't think I have seen such intricacies for guitar body art before. And all by hand. Amazing. Lots of love to you all.
What a touching story and beautiful guitars! IIt can be difficult to continue an art when you're depressed, but sometimes it takes a good person with a good heart to make you want to continue. Odo has a great talent and you're going to make great music with his art. I loved the jam session too, keep rockin'!
I finally connected the videos together! The story and the great musical piece. Just an awesome 3-year project. Ellen did a pretty good video shoot for dad while he opened his package. Cheers to you guys!
Such a cool story as well as your daughter's amazing looking bass (As a fan of short scale basses it has to be by far the nicest I've seen) You, Odo as well as Mayones knocked this build so far out of the atmosphere that I'm now currently looking into my first Mayones, Please keep the humble content going and hope all is well with you and the loved ones
Even if i'm a lazy dude who plays almost for 10 years but never took the time to practice on a purpose so my playing is nowhere near to your, i still want to be as cool as you in the future with my kids. When the demo part started my jaw dropped, you two are a great duo and your daughter plays really good. My heart melted.
Here's a little suggestion on ending. I teach to never say, "bye", because it sounds like the last time we'll see each other. Always say, "I'll see you later!". That sounds like a promise to see/meet again. Enjoyed the videos.
Every now and then you stumble upon a channel that completely blows you away, and this is one of them. That guitar is a piece of art and you both are amazing musicians. Subscribed !!!
Hovak, you continue to impress me with your true, honest and humble character. I have a real RESPECT for you. May great things befall you and all you Love. ✌️Peace......👋 bye!
Hello from San Antonio, Texas. Hovak, you're the first person I ever heard call it a "wommy" bar, instead of a "whammy" bar ha ha! The guitar, and your playing are amazing. And Ellen's mini-bass - what a cool idea. I say this as a guitarmaker & customizer who has done some unusual cool projects too. I've even had one or two Mayones instruments in my San Diego shop and worked with them via email in correcting a minor technical problem. Very nice instruments and you are right, they were great to work with.. Looking forward to anything you two do, especially together.
It took Mayones 3 years to make this great guitar. Good job. Hovak, it took you and your wife about a second to make this beautiful gifted young woman. Super job☺♥.
Incredible.. this Japan guy is so much talented..it is really a pice of art ! My favorite is the first one you showed.. it look "Mystic" and "Surnatural"
Bonjour à vous deux, cette vidéo est magnifique. Ces instruments sont vraiment superbes (autant la mini-basse d'Ellen que votre guitare). Vous avez un grand talent pour désigner de telles merveilles. Ellen sera une très grande bassiste plus tard et vous êtes déjà un guitariste accompli. C'est un grand plaisir de vous regarder vivre et jouer ensemble avec tant de complicité. Que la Musique soit toujours avec vous, elle rapproche tous les Hommes du monde. Avec les amitiés sincères d'un "vieux guitariste" Français, et un gros bisou sur le front d'Ellen. GGR13 Hello to you both, this video is magnificent. These instruments are truly superb (both Ellen's mini-bass and your guitar). You have a great talent for designating such marvels. Ellen will be a great bassist later on and you're already an accomplished guitarist. It is a great pleasure to watch you live and play together with so much complicity. May Music always be with you, it brings people together in the world. With the sincere friendships of an "old guitarist" from France, and a big kiss on the forehead from Ellen. GGR13
Beautiful story and amazing guitar! Of course, the jam at the end is epic! Ellen has this little head tilt thing she does on certain notes as she looks towards the head stock. She did it twice in your last duet jam and again near the end of this one. It's fun to watch her body language since you can see she's really feeling the music and it's not at all forced.
Amazing work on the guitars and to think it is all hand done. Wow. I get such joy watching your videos and especially when you and Ellen play together. It just makes my day. Thank you both so much for what you do.
Great story, great song & great playing. You are creating a great little musician to play with too. It was funny to see the relief on her face when she got thru the hard part.😄
Hey Ellen. Thanks for the ❤️ I'm 61 years old and started playing bass last November in large part because you looked like you were having SO much fun. Thanks for the inspiration 😎 Oh, and I haven't missed a day of practice yet 👍
Whenever I am assembling something and I tell people "those are spare parts everyone and myself get very nervous. I am speechless to even try to formulate superlatives to describe this guitar. I would like a drum set with artistic design by Odo. Hovac and Ellen's performance is the cherry on top of this video.
Such a wonderful story here!! Congrats dad and Ellen!! Cheers from Brazil! Keep Rocking!!
2 роки тому+6
I loved your hair style !!! Awesome guitars!!! Here in Brazil that guitars are so expensive that are a dream to me! Thanks for the amazing vídeo and song! Congratulations to Odo for the wonderful job! hugs to all.
Since the sixties America has been through some troubling times. Especially recently. And yet we have witnessed the amazing roll out of so much incredible technology and the art and music it has spawned. And now, here we are, trying to find our way forward into this new century and millenium. Truly, you two have already made the world a better place and our future look brighter. Hovak, you are an awesome musician, teacher, and father. Ellen, you are like true sunshine and joy, and it is amazing to see how well you have learned how to play in a few short years. None of us can imagine how excellent the music you play in the coming years will be. But we know it will be awesome. Thank you for sharing. Peave. Love.
What a wonderful story! Odo's artistic work is beautiful... on a great guitar crafted by Mayones! Good people meeting and making friendships - always awesome! :) And, the guitar, is a one of a kind... beauty! :) PS: I loved your jam session with Ellen :) great sound :)
I love Ellen's braids. My own daughter had these 'plaited in' a few years ago. Takes a long time, and you have to sit still for hours having your hair pulled. Brave girl!
That is one fine guitar!!! I can't believe it did all that traveling all over Europe and Japan, then to the USA in a GIGBAG!!!! I love the Bo Derrick hairstyle Ellen has gotten recently.
It’s a simply pleasure to watch the joy of unpacking your new instrument! Thank you for the experience a lot of rock and wildness on the strings ...👍🤝🙋
HI HOVAK i loved this video,i do not play guitar but i love all kinds of music but i also appreciate guitars as works of art especially the Fender Strat but i love the looks of your new guitar look forward to hearing it! Cheers
Could quality time between a father & his amazing 11-year old prodigy get any better ? Guess what ?? Daddy can really shred !!! And what a beautiful piece of art !! I can't imagine how much Hovak must have been chomping at the bit to get this guitar.
Awesome!! I kept getting the Vai and Ellen video recommended and finally decided to check it out. Very happy I did. The guitar(s) are works of art. The small scale bass is so cool and Ellen is amazing. Wonderful family. Thanks.
Watching this makes me think it looks a little like a music man but incredibly nicer... You both are playing your favs now and sounds and looks awesome.. you my friend are an excellent fusion rocker and we know Ellen is the best bassist...
Talent is all over these two. No one can recreate their sound. Notes are held for just the right millisecond of time. Ellen has such unique syncopation that one must listen closely. It warms the heart to see such genuine love between father and daughter.
AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!

Bravo Hovak and bravissima Ellen... :)
Your father daughter relationship is astounding! Enjoy!
What a fantastic story about a artist of guitars, Mayones and your family to play the end result! VERY heartwarming!!
Thank you Hovak for being such a positive human being and I wish you and your beautiful family, Love and prosperity.❤
I feel the same every time I open my R9 case. Oh my beautiful sunset fade.
What an absolutely incredible and beautiful story and then an incredible duo at the end. Bless you all.

I wish my daughter had taken up an instrument for moments like that. Truly blessed. Thanks for the upload.
I knew you guys rock but I was not expecting that heavy awesomeness at the end! You guys are as amazing a family as you are artists. Hovak, you and your wife are WINNING at the parenting thing and Ellen, you are a class act and all your guys’ videos brighten my day!
This is so beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes. I love when people do what they do with passion!
Ultimate father daughter duo👍🏼🥂

Three things:
1. That guitar is EPIC!

Amazing guitars! And the composition and performance at the end were awesome!

This is a great video H & E. I'm amazed at how fast Ellen is developing into a professional musician. Keep it up Ellen! 🎸🎸
