Of all the awesome guitar players out there I have found a new favorite! This is it! Attitude, tone and technique. I love it! Here I am with a weird mix of envy and inspiration :) Every time I check a video I end up practicing! Thank you!
Awesome!! we lack that attitude, that aggressiveness in the guitar scene! putting your soul and heart into the playing which makes the technique pour with emotions! something which Yngwie really had! we need an Yngwie episode!!!!!
I have to start watching your videos at 25% playback speed as a default just to catch some of what you're doing. Listening to that vibrato after the first tap at 25% speed just shows how in you really are.... God damn..
It is wild to me how individual you sound as a guitar player. I reckon there are probably some very lazy listeners who have accused you of being a mindless shredder, but anyone who knows guitar knows that you have your own thing going on for sure! We all appreciate your humility, but I don't think you have to make excuses for just sounding like you, even when you play other people's music. I didn't think this traditional style of shredding could ever sound fresh to my ears ever again, and your hard commitment to just being you is the reason I'm able to take such a huge breath of fresh air! I can't be the only one who feels that way! Can't express how much I LOVE your playing mate, the idea that you feel in any way apologetic for it or whatever is absolutely preposterous 😂
Your channel is really going to take off Ben! Keep making this kind of content. EJ is one of my heros for sure. Many thanks to Rick for recommending you. Gonna be fun to watch you progress with this my friend.
These videos are so damn fun to watch! 🤘 I really related to the bit about 3-note-per-string shredders when they try and play 2-note-per-string things, because that is me 😂 I blame the 100s of hours I spent playing that Paul Gilbert exercise and then thinking I should try to learn the Eric Johnson rolling 5's... Brain melted!
Nah, @OfficialEricJohnson will be saying, look at this! Hannibal Lector’s playing my music! 🤣🤣🤣 Great video again, thoroughly enjoying the channel thanks! Amazing playing, bit of teaching and a bit of fun tucked in
I have been professionally doing tabs for 15 plus yrs with over 100 guitar books for various companies. and this is still bonkers, please reach out if you want tabs done for your videos! We can make this happen!
Can you perhaps show us more clearly and slowly that group of 5 notes that you're playing? I'd say I play at a decent standard, but I can't really work out what you're doing lol. You're an absolute phenomenon.
My type of guitarist... the tone, the attitude, the aggression...
The energy on this guy's playing is crazy
Jesus 😂 leave some notes for the rest of us ❤❤
Legend
Man, god bless Rick Graham for shouting you out so I can find your channel. Couple of monsters.

You have the same sort of aggressive playing as Mike Orlando. Great stuff!

To right , it's fantastic to see such monstrous playing , played with obvious joy and energy .
If I could subscribe to this channel twice, I would.

It's so cool that you can play all these famous licks but still hear your own style come through, keep on shredding!
That was Cliffs of Dover with Nuno's palm mutting!
Fantanstic!! Ramble on!
the brutallity of that playing
4:35 Reb Beach Black Magic
that is insane man. best picking I have seen in my life
These videos are very entertaining!
Awesome! Love you mentioning Shawn Lane - he doesn't seem to get the attention he deserved.
Shawn was an absolute alien, damn that guy was good.
One of my favorites. So much feeling
Some say he strings his guitars with cables he’s stolen from a pylon. Brutally excellent !
Incredible!
Damn, all that on a Tele, sheesh.
Teles don't have any leeway. You misfret a note, everybody knows 😅
This has got me inspired to get practicing hard again. Nice one Ben

holy crap brotha , this is insane, could you drop a lesson type video on how to alternate pick faster?

You're an absolute phenomenon.
Too fast too agressive that's why I'm here 😅 I love that sound.
“Something like that” get the fuck out of here 😂😂😂😂
Please play Van Halen's i'm the one!
WTF is that tap harmonic thing early on 😮
0:04-0:05 - needs to be gif'd.
Hannibal lecter 💀😂

I'm fast, but, not that fast 😂
HOSS
