Ellen's smile is pure. Her giggle just brightens your day, how could it not? What a talented, well rounded, sweet girl
Ellen's laugh is without a doubt one of the highlights of her videos, as is her smile and musical ability. Wonderful!!
This will someday become a "must see " video...it is HISTORY in the making!
someday? it already is! :D
Ellen laughs and the world grins.
VERY well put!
I agree Thomas when Ellen laughs it makes my day , she is the cutest.
When Ellen emerged from the back seat and covered Mr. Nordegg's eyes, it had to be the sweetest, most adorable thing I've witnessed in quite some time. A genuine act of playfulness and love.
We're all blessed to watch her journey evolve and before our eyes.
This old wise man speaks ever so true words. Ellen, please please never stop that smile. It helps so many to stay happy during all those nasty times. You are a great artist (music, performing, presence and now drawing too? WOW)!!!
Thomas is a great guy. And he's been a tech for some of the most iconic musicians, from Vai to Frank (and Dweezil) Zappa.
the only time in history, that tiny hands cupping eyes from the back seat are a welcomed surprise. Love everything about this.🥰 🐺
TN has worked and rubbed shoulders with many of the greatest names in rock music over the past 50 years. To see him so 'star-struck' is a wonderful thing.❤
I am on the other end of the spectrum, I am learning bass at 63... Ellen is my inspiration, I have yet to try this music system she is using. I am hesitant because I have only 3 working fingers on my fret hand, but watching her little hands do so much, it pushes me to try even harder.
Thanks to her Father for being such an amazing coach, mentor and Father. Thanks to Ellen for being Ellen, and thanks to her Mum, who is also a wonderful influence.
Ellen is living proof you don't need the hands of an NBA player to play bass ( tho it probably helps)
@@Krieghandt Absolutely!
Eu também, tenho 62 anos e comecei a tocar baixo...Qdo vejo o sorriso e as pequenas mãos de Helen um mundo novo se abre para mim!
DaSoulman...I'm 65 and I'm just starting to learn bass as well...I've been playing guitar since age 8 but I always wanted to learn the bass...Ellen is my inspiration also...good luck with the bass...
The great Django Reinhardt had only two working fingers on his left hand. So anything is possible - I salute you on your latest adventure!
High praise indeed. Just love this interaction between young and old musicians. Just wonderful.
Cutest doughter, best father, great guest, loveliest dog.
What a wonderful experience for everyone!! And, yes!! Ellen's smile and laugh are the BEST things ever!!
Miss Ellen,
I didn't know you were also an Artist on paper! They were beautiful.
This looked like fun was had by all, even your dog! 🤣
Ellen brings tears of joy to the world, and a wonderful world at that, of music.
I love this. They are in awe that someone of his caliber is in their home studio.
And he's in awe of Ellen's abilities, as he should be because she is amazing.
Thomas recognizes what he is seeing. and he is right Hovak is truly blessed.
She's even an artist, this lovely little girl has a lot of talent. Thank you for sharing your video.
I wish UA-cam had a LOVE button for this video. It was so heartwarming! You could see Thomas’s heart melt when Ellen put her little hands over his eyes. The whole thing was adorable. And, of course, Ellen kicked ass on the bass - but what’s new about that.
So many talents, Ellen. :)
Tears of joy
I just stop the video just to express my feelings while they're still alive: the pure and sincere smileing and joy between a child and a grown-up it's the hardest to achive in this dark world. This is the magic power of real art which brings back together in a single feeling and soul people from all times. This is what's called DIGNITY of Human Being. I love and hug you Ellen! You're an aramaic angel and a blessed child to your father who came from Paradise on this earth among people. Be blessed sweetheart! Wish you the best!💎💎❤❤🌹🌹👑👑🕊🕊
Mr. Nordegg is so right! Ellen’s laugh is so delightful!
Absolutely amazing meeting, well done Ellen and your lovely parents. May God bless you all.Best wishes, Bob M. South Wales
Adoro a esta niña...es un portento musical y me encanta su sonrisa.
Esta niña sin hablar y tan solo con su sonrisa ya desborda simpatía, me deja embelesado mirarla y escucharla, que orgullo debe sentir su papa😇😂
This is the very best dad ever.Thanks for the movies and have fun.
Wow, multi-talented! What a gift from God!
Ellen's smile and her joy . . . what can be said!!! Pay attention to all these mentors you meet!

Hi Ellen you are amazing 👏 💖
I can't wait to see what she does next!! So young and so talented. Her and Melodia Cristea have a lot in common. It would be fantastic to get those 2 to meet.
I just discovered Ellen a couple of days ago. and was very impressed with her playing. But to see Thomas Nordegg this taken with her. I know the feeling I had about her is right she is very special and I see great things ahead for her. hate to admit it she already plays bass better than I do. but then I am a guitarist filling in on Bass
Love it! A wonderful visit with Ellen!
So Ellen. How does it feel to have the whole world love you? Keep playing and smile at every hurdle that life will throw at you, you're the best matey
Endearing family video! Love it all!
I can't beat anyone's comments, but that is a great thing. Everyone loves Ellen. History in the making.
And Ellen, never stop smiling !!
I love ❤️ this girl! ❤❤❤
It was such a surprise to see a video with Thomas as I remember his work with many people in the music industry. I never saw a video of little Ellen so young. She was always so lovely. I guess she wil always be so great looking as she is like a doll that came to life one day instead of remaining on the store shelf, LOL. Penny Lane is one of my favorite Beatle's songs and I first saw her playing the bass and singing in that lovely video so I have been watching these videos since first seeing her. And you her Dad are an amazing gentleman as well how you work with her to promote her skills and abilities. I loved it to hear what country you were from as I ship language courses the world over and even have to a few customers in your homeland and what wonderful people I have spoken to there. May GOD Blessyou, your wife, and lovely Ellen always and may good fortune always follow her so she brings such pleasure to many others as well. Tell her I adore her and may she have a great life as she is wonderful person to see and hear as she is a true gift from GOD to all of us. Ray C. Florida
Ellen draws so well! I can play blues harp and some keys, but give me a pencil, a straight edge and an hour, and I cannot draw a straight line. Your kid never ceases to impress me!
Wow! Not only a musical talent, but the art she was showing Thomas looked pretty impressive too. A very enjoyable video. Dad has some pretty great chops as a video producer, beyond being a dynamite guitar player/music producer. You left me smiling AGAIN! Cheers!
What a gentleman. This is how the gift of music is passed down. One day Ellen will do the same for an up and coming musician.
Ellen's laugh and smile makes my morning everyday mike
This is absolutely fantastic!!! Music brings so many people together, and to see this is very good.
I love this legendary video!!!
Oh yes Ellen's smile brightens up the world!! Such a pure talented young lady, I knew it the first time I seen her jam!!! Her Dad and Mom must be very proud!! 😁👍✌️
LOVE Ellen and her Mom and Dad, what a Family, God is great!!
I LOVE YOU GUYS ELLEN IS SUCH A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING
Ellen is a special Light in this world. An amazing talent wrapped up in a little girl…
That's great! What a nice man Thomas is!
Very cool!!
How wonderful this is 🥰
Incredible video. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you and ELLEN have an awesome weekend. Much love
She is an amazing up and coming talent for sure!

So many people have commented on Ellen's smile and laughter. It should be acknowledged that being able to share and project that emotion is a gift into itself. For the soul shines thru a smile. Now add on her musical skills and see what a jewel she is to the world! The envy of SOOOO many musicians. Ellen, you are and will be a magnet. I speak blessing over you!!!
Great Video Hovak, as always. Thanks to you and Ellen for sharing this visit with her fans. from SW Washington

You are so talented Ellen and a joy to watch. ❤️ I think you have another grandfather 😉👍
Obviously some great parents here!
I hope a million subscribers, you are a star!
This man being starstruck by Ellen is the best I've seen in a long time, I would probably react the same 😀
Ellen's laugh is infectious no doubt.
Lol the amount of times he’s in awe. I’ve gotta say the feeling is mutual. Let’s just hope all this praise and attention doesn’t go to her head in a negative way.
Very excited for Ellen and fathers future....Sir you are really a great guitarist..I'm excited to see her future !!
And Ellen draws too?...Wow!...Awesome!!!
My like was PRECISELY the 333th one. 😁 I see precious Ellen shimmering in a very beautiful light reflecting like iridescence! ✨😄
That laugh is sweet. Kinda reminds me of my kiddo who will be 19 next month.
Hi Hovac and Ellen , thank doing this kind video, please make more about peoples who work behind the screen. chrees from Indonesia !
this is fannnnntastic :)
That art is more sophisticated than her age.
Your husky really loves Thomas. And can't take his/her eyes off of him. Trying to figure him out. I had a husky. Very friendly doggies. When it was time to pick a instrument to play in band. You were taken to a room with a lot of instruments in it. I wanted to learn the guitar 🎸. But there wasn't one. So I pointed to a trumpet. I wanted to learn the guitar so bad. But I never got around to it in life. I enjoy yahs videos. Keep up the good work. Thanks 🤓😎😛😝😋😜🎳🎺🎸🐕🐶
Thomaaaaassss ♥️
I agree with Thomas's sentence :"Your laugh is the most infectious and rewarding thing"... It is a refreshing and spontaneous laughter...
Hahaha, that was very cool, I changed the way I setup my Ibanez guitars because of this man Thomas Nordegg, he just simplified it and it felt no longer like a task to do.
Love the dog just chillin after the butt sniff greeting 😂
I hope she continues with the same innocence always, and that she is always surrounded by humble loving people, and that she never changes her way of being. even when you grow up be humble and simple
That would trip me out to be able to meet both of you
I'm thinking there should be another channel called "EllenDrawsArt".
For sure!
I didn't realize Ellen was an artist also! OMG what talent...
You could tell Thomas was very impressed with the studio! Even for being Vai's guitar tech he still had an appreciation for this girl's bass playing and her choice of gear.
Its true Hovak, you are the luckiest man. I mean she's 9? 10? and you can tottaly jamemusic together on a pro base, and still having a cheerful smiling kid at the same time, Ellen is a true miracle Angel
I have no workds for this video. I watch you guys every single day at work.
Thomas has a brain that's wired different to most! Am a huge Steve fan but must admit when i saw Mr Vai and the band live in London a few years ago was more of a Thomas fan!!!! Thank you.
Hello gritins for ustedes
The dog checking Thomas's vitals is hysterical!
😂😂😂
@@EllenPlaysBass lol, even I laughed when I saw that.
God. My god. I don't have any other words.
hasta el perro es artista en esa casa
saludos Ellen...eres increíble
I love Ellen she is a bass prodigy
Carlos Sao Paulo Brazil
What. a thrill that must have been
Hi I am a Filipino subscriber here and I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭
I was wandering which is Ellen's favorite bass guitar to play? And I was playing in my church for a while but, need more practice. I gave it up for a while then I hear Ellen playing it has given me reason to play again 😃 Thank you Ellen and God bless you.
Wow!!! How cool was that!!!? Ellen is amazingly talented girl!! Those drawings are professional looking!! Does she sell any of her drawings? That'd be a good source for a little extra equipment, cookies, little pink fluffy thingy-meh-jigs, you know, the important stuff!! ✌😂💞
