@@CreamAle I just want to say, as a fan, record some of your King Diamond-esque high vocals. In some capacity, even if it's not played live. You're way too good at it to not incorporate that in some tasteful way.
@actualturtle2421 getting the timing properly is the tricky part. It's kind of like master of puppets. The double down on the 6th before the turn around acting as a reset. A lot od begginers either do the double down but don't do the turn around in the right time, or they completely omit the double down and do the turn around riff spot on lol
i cant decide what part i like more... the deadpan delivery? the word "lowlier"? the various patrick swayze pics? the batman shower curtain? i lol'ed out loud.
This video is fantastic because it not only points how how many amazing riffs Mastodon has pulled off over the years, but it's hilarious and informative. Nice work.
I almost woke my wife up from laughing when I saw you on the toilet. This is a series I'll be watching religiously. You're right when you say Mastodon rocks
I'm not a guitarist but this is probably one of my favorite videos on all of UA-cam. Awsome band. Steller display of what they do. Great humor. Fucking nailed it brother!
First video I've watched of yours & I must say you won me over instantly. Mastodon does indeed rock, one of my favorite bands. The sense of humor in this vid is awesome as well.
another thing I've noticed is adding an acoustic track under even distorted parts. The percussive and other tonal qualities this adds have always stood out to me!
I find it literally impossible to watch this video and when he does drop A tuning and plays the intro to mother puncher to jump immediately to spotify and listen to the whole thing. That riff is a goddamn monster.
Been watching a while but this is my favorite so far. Educational and the flat delivery is hilarious. The flat delivery actually seems more you. And the pose with the trophy. Classic.
Don’t forget to SHARE this video if you liked it! I hope you all enjoyed learning about Stuff Mastodon Does! What other bands’ stuff do you want to know about? Ghost? Metallica? Megadeth? Maroon 5? Pantera? Avenged Sevenfold?
Freaking hilarious Uncle Ben,from the deadpan delivery ,the Swayze in the background to the Batman shower curtain. And of course your excellent breakdown of the music!!
hey I saw your or this video(s) for the first time and I am really amazed, that ppl like me and you still exist! keep up your good work and I am really looking forward to binge ur channel. cheerio my dude and keep rockin
I just saw Uncle Ben deconstruct a Mastodon riff whilst taking a poo. Life is all downhill from here. Might as well check out. **BANG** Sidenote: Michael Keaton is the best Batman of all time, ever, forever and ever, until the heat-death of the universe.
Loved the video! the humor is right up my alley, while I was chuckling at you on the toilet, I was sipping a 16oz yeungleung when you pulled yours out, intensifying the lulz. perfect dude
Lars Darrell Only on good channels! 😉👍 It's nice you noticed me. ☺️ I'm a guitar nerd starting my channel, don't hesitate to take a look and leave a comment if you wish bro! 🤓👍
Sometimes youtube feels devoid of channels to discover, which can actually entertain. Sometimes, the algorithm seemingly randomly spits out a pearl like this. Thank you for existing.
Kishan Nair it’s by adam02, probably easy to find using that name. “John petrucci psycho exercises” iirc I have no idea how I remembered all of those details after not seeing or thinking about it for 10 years lol
Mastodon being my favorite band, this instantly became my favorite YT video. Subbed! I love your approach to the video and your attitude. Pretty funny and informational stuff.
Haha! Well researched and funny as hell! When it got to you sitting on the pot I thought "what the hell is he going to do next??!!" I lol-ed many times. Thank you Uncle Ben;-))
This vid is farkn special man... something speaks to me, not even a Mastoden Fan though they do rock and my love grew after this vid... point is i love the amusements.. secret shame no shame i watched this great news multiple times just for smiles and good feels love it and like to see more ... much learnt good times fun for all **Multiple thumbs up** :) :) :)
Uncle Ben, I think I speak for everybody when I say we need more videos like this about more artists. Opeth, Devin Townsend, Death and Meshuggah are a few suggestions this humble viewer was able to conjure up for you xD
DragonCrestPC I met them on this current tour, it was awesome. Brent dropped his pick and I snatched it :p got a few LPs signed too, my 3rd press of remission, blood mountain and call of the Mastodon. Also got a dope holographic poster that's signed.
Came here expecting to put up with some bloke I would probably not like just to hear about Mastodon, I left having had a number of laughs and learned a little about the technical side of Mastodon and their lowlyer tuning. Good stuff.
Just discovered your videos. This was both super entertaining (you have great presence!) and also gave me a few solid ideas for my own playing. Thank you, Ben.
Ok, but like holy shit every single riff in this video is amazing. What a great band.
Would def like to see some mastodon on Dean attempts to learn!
@Dean Lamb would love to see an indirect request for some Mastodon. Much love to you, your band and your channel bro.
They're good riffs Brent
Love that people of your calibur still respect the awesomeness of mastodon. Stoked to hear your new record too man!
Call Brent to appear on your show. It would be more than amazing
"The gain turned up VERY high"
>broil/450
I almost spit water on my screen.
lol yeah I did a double take there 😅
“I recommend using an old school, British tube amp.”
**uses exact opposite**
the kemper is modeling one bro
@@broed731 He stopped listening after the word "Kemper"
What he means is that the Kemper is new school and it's solid state... it's obvious that he's using the profile but it's not an old school, British tube amp.
Can I get away with tube and virtual amp? Like a line 6 pod?
6S6Y6C6Z6 No. Never.
What tuning is this, Brent?
Lowlier A.
Lowlier than thou
@@NitroAuto77 lol
"Lowlier"
@Mike Hfuhruhurr a lot even more lowlier
This guy is talented and Hilarious.
Ben really plays comprehensively, always impressed by his range of abilities.
We LOVEEEEE Uncle Ben.
Way more than our creepy stepdad who only lets us play in e standard
You should make a "Stuff Mastodon't" as well! 🙂
Jens Larsen ha! I like it!
What is this, the late 80s? xD
Jens Larsen 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇲🇽🇲🇽
Memorable music?

The guitars can basically do whatever they want....we know we're all there for Brann.

Blood and thunder sound easy to play especially for beginners, when I first started I cried into my pillow for a month
It is actually a relatively easy song compared to literally any of their other songs. Still really hard though
Yeah it's definitely more tricky than it sounds because of the string hopping.

You laughed out louded out loud
@@Bogeyman19DidNotScareMyAss i stand by my comment lol
Stuff Opeth does pls!
I second that!
Fuck yer
One they do is write killer songs.
Still waiting
Please!
This video is fantastic because it not only points how how many amazing riffs Mastodon has pulled off over the years, but it's hilarious and informative. Nice work.
So much sass with the play button pose
Well, I know Gintoki would love Mastodon..
😂😂 I wasn't expecting that the first time he did it.
Draw him like one of your French gorls
“To make friends and influence others”; probably the best thing I’ve heard you say.
I almost woke my wife up from laughing when I saw you on the toilet. This is a series I'll be watching religiously. You're right when you say Mastodon rocks
I'm not a guitarist but this is probably one of my favorite videos on all of UA-cam. Awsome band. Steller display of what they do. Great humor. Fucking nailed it brother!
You should do the same for Gojira.
Second that!
Yea definitly
*pinch harmonic intensifies*
Open Chugs
*V* *I* *G* *O* *R* *O* *U* *S* *L* *Y*
Things Gojira does: never suck.
Damn dude, you really nailed their tone. It's inch-perfect.
Definitely
Mastodon is good at Mastodoning.
Trendkiller omg yesss
I would say that they’re the best at it
Mastodizing?
Mastodroning?
Mastobaiting
Your tone is so spot on it's insane. If I heard your track and the original I wouldn't be able to tell you which one is which. Excellent job!
The Patrick Swayze screen saver kept me watching.
Obsequie I literally scrolled down to the comments to see if anyone else noticed. Lol so fucking perfect.
Ditto
Yeah the swayz was real.
I did the same. Hysterical!
U Swayze bro?
"...even more lowlier".
You're awesome man!
First video I've watched of yours & I must say you won me over instantly. Mastodon does indeed rock, one of my favorite bands. The sense of humor in this vid is awesome as well.
another thing I've noticed is adding an acoustic track under even distorted parts. The percussive and other tonal qualities this adds have always stood out to me!
That moment in every kid's life where you accidentally run into your uncle on the crapper -- and he has life lessons for you.
Why the fuck did I decide to scroll thru the comments and see yours PRECISELY at 4:34
I find it literally impossible to watch this video and when he does drop A tuning and plays the intro to mother puncher to jump immediately to spotify and listen to the whole thing. That riff is a goddamn monster.
Thank you! Now I finally know the name of the Song!
This 5 minutes and 50 seconds were almost as good as the first time I heard Oblivion. (A song that's 5 minutes and 50 seconds)
I absolutely love Mastadon. I saw them first at Download and been a massive fan ever since. Awesome video as always Ben lad 😜👍🔥🎸
Been watching a while but this is my favorite so far. Educational and the flat delivery is hilarious. The flat delivery actually seems more you. And the pose with the trophy. Classic.
Captain Biggles Him and Ola Englund deadpan wars. Make it so!
Ben's guitar insight is only surpassed by his comedy genius!!
Whenever I saw you mention turning the gain up with a cut to a toaster oven knob I immediately cracked a chuckle and liked the video.
When people say whats up I say chillin like Ben Eller. It rolls off the tongue nicely and Ben is the best uncle around.
Don’t forget to SHARE this video if you liked it! I hope you all enjoyed learning about Stuff Mastodon Does! What other bands’ stuff do you want to know about? Ghost? Metallica? Megadeth? Maroon 5? Pantera? Avenged Sevenfold?
Ben Eller yes please!!!
Pantera definitely!
Stuff Opeth does ;)
Metallica & Pantera
Ghost, A7X and Pantera
Dude. This is so legit. Your tones are so legit. Your playing style is so legit. You are fantastic. Glad I stumbled upon this.
Freaking hilarious Uncle Ben,from the deadpan delivery ,the Swayze in the background to the Batman shower curtain. And of course your excellent breakdown of the music!!
Dude this is the best video of yours I’ve ever seen. You cracked me up constantly, and the information was super accurate and useful. Cheers.
Well done! Mastodon keeps us guitar nerds busy with every album. Best band in recent decades!
I love it man!! Your lucky I wish I could play these songs! Appreciate your life man
Mastodon Yuengling and Patrick Swayze. Finally somebody on UA-cam got it right
U Swayze bro?
hey I saw your or this video(s) for the first time and I am really amazed, that ppl like me and you still exist!
keep up your good work and I am really looking forward to binge ur channel.
cheerio my dude and keep rockin
I thing you've just made the perfect YT video on music :
- great and precise info
- great examples
- great editing and timing
- fun
You're good !
I just saw Uncle Ben deconstruct a Mastodon riff whilst taking a poo. Life is all downhill from here. Might as well check out.

Sidenote: Michael Keaton is the best Batman of all time, ever, forever and ever, until the heat-death of the universe.
About Keaton: words of truth and wisdom.
Death of universe is a cool name for a band
I'm rooting for The Big Crunch! Fuck you
ProgHead777 Adam West is best
You have to continue this series! IT ROCKS!
Hey! We're both on the can with a beer!
Nice.
Man I sincerely love your Batman themed bathroom 🤩 Great playing too!
This may have just become my favorite video
Loved the video! the humor is right up my alley, while I was chuckling at you on the toilet, I was sipping a 16oz yeungleung when you pulled yours out, intensifying the lulz. perfect dude
I listened to none of what you said while posing next to your trophy... This was too mesmerizing!
Nice vid and nice axe!!!!
Oilid you are everywhere damnit hahahhaha

Ayyyy
There is if anyone reading this hasn't seen it.
@@mattkennedy9308 and it is so good I assumed it was the first one and this was made based on its awesomeness.
As one of the biggest fans of Mastodon, you've done a great job exposing Mastodong's secrets. Subscribed
Uncle Ben, never stop doing these xD
Your commentary is better than your playing and analysis.
Neither of those were derogatory. You seriously might be my new hero.
What about things that Dream Theater does, like slowing down the rotational speed of earth
Holy shit. Thank you for reminding me of that amazing video.
@@italianchewy can you link it bro?
@@kishannair3667 I think this is it ua-cam.com/video/CdE9OBqpKUA/v-deo.html
Yeah I’d love to see a lesson on how to activate Petrucci’s “World Domination” mode.
Kishan Nair it’s by adam02, probably easy to find using that name. “John petrucci psycho exercises” iirc
I have no idea how I remembered all of those details after not seeing or thinking about it for 10 years lol
Lol awesome! I love how the tone of the video also gives out a similar vibe to Mastodon's official apparitions.
Hi uncle. This is one of your best videos. Ciao.
Dude I think I won somekind of lottery or something today, cuz I've just discovered your channel AND Mastodon! THANK YOU!
Great new series Ben !!!!!!!!
Love the 2:50 part, you got my laughing out loud!

Now that's the best The Walking Dead "Eugene" impersonation I've seen so far.
Very informative and i love the schtick. Had me at beer on the terlit. Had to subscribe
And yes
Mastadon rocks
First time seeing this guy, I fucking love his kind of humor. Subbed!
I hope you've seen the Gojira one
In your almost 6 minutes of video I feel I learned a lot more in these minutes than I did in all the 10 years of music class weekly at school x)
'Mastotone' :D
This has the feel of an old instructional video with the best soundtrack choice ever.
This is pure gold!
you really nailed the tones so well. Greatier job my man!
Time to do a whole blood mountain cover!
Great info and entertaining. I agree, would love to see more of these.
This series is so great, shame it only had three episodes. More!
Coming back to watch them yet again.
I didn’t think I was going to enjoy this but I’m glad I clicked! Nice video man 🤘🏻
4:34 oh......oh my
This is love letter about one of my favorite bands. Thank you so much for this video ❤️
*takes notes furiously* ILL BE RICH! RICH!!
Coming back every week... its a MASTERPIECE!
4:44 ist a very good idea - I'll get a beer now too - Good health! (Btw.: Vid is VERY well done, respect!)
I feel so much more smarterer after watching this video. Thanks Uncle Ben!
Just saw mastodon in san diego a few nights ago, one of my favs!

Awesome show! Bill was really getting some on the last two songs!
Andrew Teller
Damn lucky. At least I caught Brann's drumstick at the end of the show that I saw lol.
every single example you played made me go and listen to those songs in full
The oven, the toilet... Classic Uncle Ben.
For this video alone, I am subscribing. Excellent stuff!
It's year 2020, these videos make my quarantine a whole lot better. Can you do Slayer please?
please continue this series!
Now we need a bladecatcher cover. Fucking incredible song
BEN! YOU REALLY NEED TO ADD TO THIS VIDEO SERIES!!! HILARIOUS!!!!!
All the !!!! I used them!!!!!
First time here! This is great!!!
Uncle Ben please tell me why you don't have at LEAST 1M subscribers? Your videos are the best!
I really enjoy the waynes world style monotone
Came here expecting to put up with some bloke I would probably not like just to hear about Mastodon, I left having had a number of laughs and learned a little about the technical side of Mastodon and their lowlyer tuning. Good stuff.
Holy shit! Do a lesson for the Pendulous Skin intro!
the part he plays is the one part almost every tab gets wrong, so it would be nice.
Zelicanth I know, right
Yes please.

Cool vid. I want to know about Nevermore or Queensryche next.
YESSSSSS Nevermore Please.
