Holy shit man, you KILLED that Beyond This Life solo! Been waiting for this one, watching now as I type! JP and Guthrie are my personal holy guitar duo
Wow man! You are such an incredible guitar player. The precision and the pick attack are just out of thos world. I remember a video of yours from 15 years ago where you were demoing ebmm jp6 playing riffs and solos from DT. And I was particularly impressed with the beyond this life solo. You played a orange jp6 with non matching headstock and a jpx IIRC. Can't find it anywhere. Cheers from Italy.
John is definitely my biggest guitar influence and DT are my favourite band since I discovered I&W and (especially) SFAM. With this introduction you can easily understand why I really enjoyed this video 😁 Keep on rockin, Ben! You're an amazing player 🤟🏼💪🏼
You are a monster on guitar! and I like when such people talk about their "idols" that I also admire like John Petrucci. I also like your energetic behavior while playing, it looks as if everything is too easy for you but you still trynna make it look hard on purpose, it can sometimes be almost funny but it seems like you are just like emotional and having fun which is good and important. By the way I really like the song "Acid Rain" by Liquid Tension Experiment, and I wonder if you or anyone at all can replicate it's solo from 2:54 to 4:16 ? it might not be as technical as his other songs but there are also some crazy alien and cat sounds which feel impossible to replicate precisely in my opinion although I never really tried enough. do you play guitars with whammy bar? (cuz' it's needed there). Additionally I wonder if you listened and know the whole discography of Dream Theater and what are some of your opinions. if you don't know yet they are releasing a new album called "Parasomnia" on this Friday, I personally don't expect anything innovative or spectacular in special way but I still believe I'm gonna enjoy it in some way or another. Soon I'm planning to listen to the new album "AntiFragile" by All That Remains, I'm not really a fan of them but I'm curious of Jason Richardson's solos on it, there is some guy named: Diego luis Cassali cordoba R on UA-cam who already covered all the solos on the same day it released. he always learns by ear if I'm not mistaken, I guess you doing that too? do you have any tips except slowing things down? thanks for taking the time to read and reply if you do.
Petrucci Malmsteen etc...are the most USELESS guitar players of all times: boring souless crap. One minute of jazz....The Edge...Nile Rodgers....Andy Summers...David Gilmour etc...worth more than all the shred garbage.
Wow this comment accomplished more then petrucci did musicly for people all around the globe. Oooh wait. While you are an absolute nobody, petrucci is and will always be seen as a guitar god. Cry more kid.
51 years old. Same mindset here. Nice to meet you man! Love your playing.

Ahh the classic ascending chromatic to middle finger lick…took me years to get that one right!
