Jam With STEVE VAI Ft. Nili Brosh (BTS, Soundcheck, Show) 

I'm not going to lie---this brought a tear(s) to my eye as Ellen nailed that solo when Steve introduced her. It was also very awesome to see how generous all the other musicians were toward her on stage and how receptive the audience was. Long may you run Ellen

Let's not forget how Ellen got there - the love, support, and training she gets from her amazing dad and mom!

When your idol cares about the next generation musicians, thats awesome, heart-warming, and thats what makes him immortal

Mom and Dad should be proud, not just of their amazing, talented little girl, but they should be proud of the memories they are helping her create for herself! Way to go, Mom, Dad & Ellen!

I'm getting old. She looked so small on that stage and for a split second I worried she wasn't ready. Outstanding performance and she has now felt the thrill of the lights and atmosphere and the adoration of many. She has arrived.

Steve is THE most down-to-earth musician ever! He invites people to jam with him and looks at them like "there is always something to learn from anyone". 🤣

Vai thrived under the generosity of mentors like Zappa when he was young, and so Vai understood that with that opportunity comes the responsibility to pay it forward.

Faith in Humanity RESTORED!! As a bassman, I’m humbled at the vibrancy of Ellen, and the sincerity of Mr Steve. Amazing.

Thanks you Steve for shining a spotlight on young talent!

Steve is such a good soul. Never " look at me! I'm a bad ass!" He's about the music! And he loves it, and he passes that love, how ever he can, to the younger generation. We need more people like him!

Love how the Bass guy was looking after Ellen when her solo was over.

she’s playing with Steve Vai. She’s a crazy good bass player with only the sky as her limit. God bless her and I’m not gonna lie she brought tears to my eyes. Her parents must be so proud, because as a dad myself I am pretty proud of her as well .

Well, I guess there's no stopping her now, The world has been introduced to ELLEN! Thank you Steve Vai! You are a class act!

Best part of the video is at 15:58. Eyes glued to the bandleader, following every cue and absolutely nailing it. Sign of a true professional, despite still being in grade school. Astonishing.

Who doesn’t love this little girl? If you love music, you will definitely love her. Can’t wait to see her years from now.

Ellen looked perfectly fine on that stage as if she were playing with the band the whole time. Mom and Dad must be proud.

My heart is always touched to see dad giving so much input to his daughter. Thanx for making this video... All the best!!

That bass is every bit as big as she is, yet she has it mastered. Her skill/talent, her smile, her innocence and the oh-so obvious bond she has with her dad. This girl has such a bright future ahead of her!

Ellen, you made this 62 year old bassman cry. Keep doing what you are doing - classic rock and funk are in good hands (and you owned the stage).

I have been following Ellen’s journey and I got goosebumps thinking back not too long ago when her dad was teaching her to play the bass. And look where she is now. Such a confident and competent musician. A testament to her amazing parents!!!

I think my favorite part of that was when Steve and especially Philip kept Ellen engaged when the show focused on the guitars. I imagine it would have been easy to feel left out or overshadowed in that circumstance, especially with that great of an age difference, so it was nice to see them keeping her involved throughout. Always encourage the youth in the arts; not to make our lives better, but to make their lives better.

Steve is a Monster guitar player and a Monster human being! What a great thing to do for Ellie!

I get this mental picture, many years from now, Steve is in the old rockers home and sees Ellen on tv (or holo or whatever we're watching then) and says, "I jammed with her when she was just a little girl." And all the other old rockers say "Jeeze Steve, you say that every time she's on ."

Not only can you play an amazing bass you got to play with a legend Mr.Steve Vai. You did something at a young age that us old guitar and bass players can only dream of. I can only imagine the future you have ahead. Rock on young lady.

I love how Vai is helping the new age of musicians along!

Woweee ✨💯 Steve is such a cool cool guy…..imagine how big of a star he is and how real and kind he is at the same time!! I hope you had a great time Ellen! So proud of you..!! ✨🏆✨

This is why Steve Vai is the best! How awesome of him to do this for fans of his and put them on stage and let them have there moment with him, amazing 🤩

Steve is passion with no warfare. It is so nice to see how he gives his little help to real talents to come forward. Ellen did phenomenal! Looking forward to the years to come, young prodigy!

She didn't seem at all nervous, totally a natural. Loved it!!

The effect this will have on these two girls will be incredible.

This was all super cute, but I think the cutest was just her and Phillip having their own little bass player sub-jam while the guitarists were all doing their thing.

She is so talented and adorable, and I love that thousand watt smile when she plays.

One of the best performances I've ever watched and I was simply blown away and Ellen jamming with Steve Vai priceless

That was so amazing. Ellen is a natural on stage; no fear, just her trademark huge smile and some fantastic bass. Thanks to Steve Vai for giving her this opportunity and to Hovak for being the awesome and patient teacher he is. Ellen ROCKS!

Steve Vai is such a nice guy! So grounded and kind. I had no idea.

The memories that will last a lifetime.....not many can say, I was young and jammed with Vai on stage. Fuck yes.

Life gave so much to Steve and now he's giving it back. Beautiful 👏💙💜☮

I have been playing guitar for over 50 years and I have never seen a player pick up as fast as Ellen. Keep having fun!!

This was beautiful. Very talented young lady. What caught my eye was the respect she earned from Philip Bynoe. He kept his eye on her, keeping her engaged. He even seemed to adopt that "Dad" role while they shared the stage. Touching...

What a thrill this must have been for young Ellen. She will always remember those moments she spent jamming with the legendary Stevie Vai. I'm sure she will look back on this footage in years to come and remember exactly how she felt back then. Just a perfect gentleman and still a killer guitarist.

I’m so excited for Ellen, and all of you, that I’ve got happy tears! What a truly awesome experience. And so very deserving for Ellen. Memories for a lifetime. Love & hugs, sweetie!

It's a beautiful moment in a young musicians life when they get to perform with someone that they idolize. It's an even better moment when that idol is as genuine as Steve Vai. I love that he encouraged her to take her turn in the spot light instead of standing back on stage as most bass players do/are forced to do. Thank you Steve for encouraging and inspiring Ellen. Thank you Mom and Dad for doing the same. And, thank you most of all Ellen for being you! Keep rocking!

She shows ALL OF US how to carry ourselves. She's only a kid, but, she's wise beyond her years. How many people can say they've played with STEVE VAI??!!

Steve Vai is such a nice guy, I wish all famous people were like him, the world would be a better place.

Totally nailed it. Very professional stage presence. Congrats to Ellen, and huge thanks to Steve for helping usher in the next generation of artists. 😸

This is what music and musicianship is all about…good on you Steve Vai for making this happen for Ellen. She really is the future.

She's so little surrounded by all those big guys... and then she plays and all of those big guys seem to just fade away!! This is a prodigy for all to see and hear. Rock on lil one! You shine!

So sophisticated by nature. A true prodigy.

So cool when the seasoned musicians share the stage with the younger musicians ! They will never forget this awesome opportunity ! 🙂

I normally have a heart of stone but this nearly moved me to tears, 😊 great job by everyone involved 🥰

I'm shedding tears of joy watching this . This new generation of kids are a beacon of light and hope for the future of humanity . We need it .

I have been watching Ellen for a long time, She is awesome, always bringing a smile to my face and a tear to my eyes. She is on a path to a great future.

What a wonderful experience! As someone with paralyzing stage fright for >50 yrs, she seems so right at home in front of the audience. May she never lose her desire.

This will be something Ellen will remember for the rest on her life. Being up on stage with Steve Vai and all the others, getting out there playing a bass solo and nailed it. Great job Ellen and I know you must have had a great time on stage. 👍❤️🎸

This young Lady is going to be a star, such natural talent, watch out for her !!!!!!

What beautiful people doing everything with the only feeling that makes sense in this life... LOVE!!! Very emotional video!!!

She is a natural performer. and brings the best out in everyone she interacts with. this is the power of all children.

What a treat for you Ellen and for us too. Outstanding job

Not sure which is bigger, the adorable smile on her face and in her heart or the stunningly precocious talent well beyond her years. Absolutely unbelievable if I didn't see it with my own eyes. Big shout out to Steve for inviting Ellen to jam.

Steve Vai is doing fantastic job promoting other musicians. A real maestro and inspiration indeed!

"I'm stealing that" This was incredible on all counts!

I'm seeing Steve Vai in just a few short weeks, this completely melts my heart! Steve has been a mentor to so many young rock stars. Fantastic moment for an amazing family!

Steve Vai always exemplifies positivity. Him and his band mates passing it forward is priceless.

Way to go, Ellen! Can't believe you jammed (and were recognized) by Steve Vai! This is incredibly cool. I met Steve in Albuquerque not long ago. He truly is a magnificent player and nice guy.

Kudos to all these wonderful people on the stage. They are all very special, making Ellen feel so welcome.

Great job, Ellen...You're on your way now...You just got a taste of being on stage with a legit star and an audience that loved you and your bass playing... I see you spending many years under those hot lights on stage thrilling the crowds...I don't know of any other 10 year olds that can say that they were on stage rocking out with Steve Vai...Let's not forget Ellen's dad Hovak...He taught her so well and was so patient with her and I never saw him get upset with her or raise his voice...Hovak is a loving father who is preparing his daughter for a lucrative career of her own...she will never have to work for anyone unless she wants to... That's the best gift any father can give to his child...Good job with her, Hovak...good luck in the future and keep being awesome...

Every time i watch Ellen she makes me cry. Such is the wonder, the beauty and the joy of her. Bless her. Awesome creature.

I'm in tears to see a young beautiful child doing what she loves is fantastic may all the power of the universe surround her always !!!!😁🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

This is freaking amazing. I just cant believe this, and what a humble and incredible person Steve Vai is for all this.

STEVE VAI has a great heart, thats made me almost cry. keep up the good work Ellen...

You are an amazing father. It's unbelievable that she got to jam with Steve Vai at such a young age, she is a fabulous musician and a real professional. 👊🏼

What a superb moment for the young lady, kudos to mum and dad for their support and love. Brilliant to see such talent at such a young age.

Oh my god, Ellen's dad: I think you are almost bursting with pride in your daughter !!!

Боже мой! Это было восхитительно! Если бы я в таком возрасте оказался на сцене с Стивом то от избытка чувств я бы ещё неделю лежал в реанимации😀 😍🥰 Елена У тебя самый лучший папа на свете💯

Fantastic memory for her, yes tears at the end. I just loved the way the band treated her. True musicians who just love playing no matter how famous they are. Loved it.

THANK YOU STEViE... and Ellen! And all the other spectacular players!

Made me tear up. So sweet of everyone involved. So much love.

This video made me so emotional that was impossible to retain the tears. God bless you Ellen and bless also this fantastic human being called Steve Vai. I loved how he treated Ellen with so much love and respect as a fellow musician, estabilishing eye contact with her when talking and it may seen normal but , you know, that are things that only the greats do. Thank you for this video! It´s hard to put in words all my feelings. Lots of love from Brazil.

I never get tired of watching it, I get emotional, thank you Dad for teaching your daughter the path of goodness, especially the fantastic path of music, thank you

Steve Vai showcasing young talents is awsome! Hes a legend.🎵🌟

What an absolutely proud moment Ellen's family must be feeling at this recording. What a great teacher Ellen has with great abilities. Always look forward to the next video!!! Thank you

Ellen is such a pro performer already. Amazing for one so young. PS - Love that Bad Boy motorcycle there Hovak

That was just awesome. Steve Van is like the ultimate music mentor. He’s got a heart of gold, a generous giving spirit and soul for days. I really love seeing him bringing other worthy musicians along in the best ways. Ellen and Nilli played tremendously throughout. A triumph for all!!!!!!

Your playing is great. Your joy in doing it is marvellous to see. And you're a natural on stage.

Omgosh! GOOOOOO ELLEN! U nailed it girl! Keep it up! We need u lil bass chick! ❤️🎶‼️💯😎

I was so excited for you as you took the stage. Wow - what a fantastic job you did. This was an amazing opportunity. You rock Ellen!!

Jamming with Steve Vai, live and in concert?Incredible. What an amazing accomplishment for such a young child.

What a wonderful experience you are having. Please enjoy all of this with all your heart and soul. You deserve!!

This makes me think of when Jeff Beck brought out Tal Wilkenfeld for the first time.

Wow Ellen, that was SO COOL!! You worked very hard to prepare for this moment and performed beautifully. Thanks to you and Hovak for letting us in on a backstage look on your experience. Keep up the good work. 👍

She just gives me chills! I am pretty sure I am witnessing one of the greats!

Hopefully this young lady will have a great career in music and become a very well known and admired musician. Great show and well done on the Folks that looked after her here and brilliant music all round! Thanks so much for this.

Hahaha, Ellen, you’ve got the BEST roadie already! 😂😂😂 And we could all see how you enjoyed the stage. Doesn’t get any better than live performing hey? You did perfectly well amongst those beasts! I think Hovak must’ve felt the proudest dad in the world!

What a day! What a fantastic opportunity to shine with one of rocks greatest. And shine you did like the star you are. I can only begin to imagine the pride your father has for you. I just watch a few of your vids, but I'm feeling really proud of how you handled yourself Ellen, and I hope this experience will be for ever remembered and treasured. BRAVO!!!

Steve Vai is such a gem of a human being

Two very talented young Ladies, bringing back the Era

and for Steve for being so nice, and giving her a big boost of fun, memories and confidence..👍🏻

Mom and Dad, that is so awesome that you can give her that kind of exposure. I know yall are so proud of her, As I tear up and grin from ear to ear.
