Do us all a favour Ben and don't apologise for anything you're doing ...You're raw , real, genuine and a complete player !!...Please stay that way, the world of the Tube is going to see you and recognise you for the real player and the real deal that you are .
"Keep the passion alive"...Safe to say Ben you are one of the reasons my passion for my guitar is not only alive but KICKING at the moment. [playing for 30 years this year!] Great content, always look forward to seeing you shredding the hell out that tele...
Hey Ben, you should totally try the Jim Dunlop flow picks. They sound right up your street they are pretty much indestructible and I think the 1.5 is the perfect pick.
There’s no need for any other guy here since Ben came up. I love the point that he gained his experience from times where the stuff actually happened …. Every story from the past hits me so hard , because it’s similar to my learning experience from that time. Obviously his level is insane …. Could watch this all day … his sense of humour is great also
Awesome content dude the mighty Mr Rick Graham turned me on to your channel but it was my friend Q (the phenomenal luthier James from Agrajag Guitars) that informed he how good you are. You are inspiring sir if I can be half as good as you I’ll be happy 🤘🤘
I'm a cellist, but also former guitarist(and still play) but actually more of a country guitarist, love that chicken pickin, in the Jerry Donahue style. great content. and Thanks Rick Graham for showing us your channel. Tele's are awesome!
5001 subscribers now mate. Absolute beast of a player…I remember that groove or die video and I never forgot it. Would be cool to know how you met Rick Graham, did he reach out to you or something or did you just meet him somewhere? Looking forward to your 2025 ventures…All the best…Guitar Godz Unleashed 🎸🤘😎👍
9:06 Ah yes. The old “weight weenies.” I cycle with a few guys that are into saving every gram they can. I just take a big old dump before going for a ride. Toilet paper is a lot cheaper than most of those titanium and carbon fiber parts. 😂
Ben. You are single-handedly making me 1,000% more psyched than I’ve ever been about my instrument.
🙏🙏🙏
This 100%.
Wow, so true about gear. People really think way too much about it, even when they cant play at all. To have things is nice tho.
Thank you for replying!
Man, you have the sound we all want, such passion and attack on the guitar, just love the sound you create!!!
Man it's great to hear your insight on these things 🎸🙏 you are a ferocious player and I'm loving your videos, best to you man!
Thank you 🙏

I went from jazz picks to dunlop flow recently, and i'm very impressed with these. They last a long time too
I am amazed how you play SO extremely technically on that tele. Everyone’s different I guess, goes to show great players can play great on anything.
great, congrats! i am really looking forward to your lessons and advice concerning technique and speed next year!
Nice holidays and happy 2025!

Thank you so much! Very cool channel yourself!
Try out a dunlop sharp or ernie ball prodigy picks. Tend to be the two I use the most.
Same
Your defo inspiring me to want to up my game at almost 62 years old
How hard do you pick the notes??
Only issue with us over 50 guys, dialing in digital amps are a bit difficult and time consuming.
Mate I hope you can come down to Australia some day for a tour!
If looking for a new rig You should consider to come to the Guitar Summit in Mannhein/Germany. 😉
Wanna change tones completely..? Swap speakers!
Cheers!
You're like the Eric Johnson of guitar picks. 🤣 Also - you may want to check out a Tonex (full size).
Would you consider playing live in Dublin?
If the opportunity arises then definitely 👍
Do you pick as hard as it sounds on camera?🤘🎸🎶🎵
He's hitting it hard!
He briefly lightened up in this video.
How do you record your audio?
