Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers: Tal Wilkenfeld Bass Cover by 13 Year Old Bassist
by Corey Brown | Monday, February 7th, 2011
A bassist who goes by the screen name BassGirl5809 started playing bass after hearing Tal Wilkenfeld. The 13 year old bassist has only played bass for about a year, and is already tackling some tough transcriptions.
For this video, BassGirl5809 shares, “I transcribed Tal Wilkenfeld’s entire bass part on Jeff Beck’s ‘Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers’, from the album Performing This Week.. Jeff Beck Live At Ronnie Scott’s. Tal’s solo on this is literally the reason why I decided to start playing the bass!”
Keep it up, BassGirl, and thanks to Annie who sent the video our way.

the world needs more bassists… i only wish i could’ve discovered jazz and bass at an early age like you.. keep it up girl.!
Amazing young talent! Wicked good skills.
Excellent! Keep it up!
Outstanding!! She played it with “Feeling!”
Stunning! Brilliant! I absolutely love it, hon! You are so talented and right on the money musically, I know your parents are so proud! I would be! Thank you so very much for sharing your bass talent. Good luck in all that you do in your lifetime!
I quit………………….!
Very cool!
Great job!!! This sounds amazing!
She’s got “it.” You can see it in her face. With some shaping and structure over time, she will be a monster player. Good for you, girl.
Too young to know how tough that solo is…
With that kind of skill at that age, she should learn to play lead guitar and make herself a living. Bass players are rarely front men. (Uh…….persons.) Make sure you check out the bassist for Dream Theater – intense – as good as they come.
With that kind of skill, she should keep on playing as much bass as she can. A good bass player will never be out a job where guitar players are a dime a dozen.
Actually..she should play whatever makes her the most fully alive! THAT’S WHAT MUSIC SHOULD BE ABOUT! Save your “commercial success” comments for American Idol…she’s 13… let her chase her dreams a bit before you go giving unrequested advice from your vast well of musical moneymaking chestnuts! :-)
I just love the way her face lights up as soon as the music starts. She’s hooked, her life will never be the same, and that’s a good thing.
Best thing about it, she’s having fun.
Sounds good, she evem kind of moves the same as Tal :00)
Craig in Tokyo
Even haha
Holy cow, she got some mad skills for someone who picked up the bass only a year ago! And that at the age of 13…
Wow! Only 13 and quite skilled, cute too.
Great stuff….Keep it up, you’ve got the goods ! it’s in the blood , it’s a gift…..use it!
