There is a level of skill that inspires you, and then theres a level that makes you want to never touch a guitar so that the instrument that this man wields shall never be tainted.
Quite the compliment, and I agree. But this has still inspired me to take up classical guitar for the first time. Ten years practice and I could be a master in my 50s ...
Absolutely great and stunning. Someone said that Metal and Flamenco are perfect combination and he was absolutely right. The best cover I have ever heard.
@@nchumtsanglao7696 a classical guitar guitar is an acoustic guitar because it doesn't imply any electrical device. Maybe you confused acoustic guitar with steel string guitar
This is fantastic. The skill of course but the creativity and playfulness in the actual rendition really elevates the relatively basic beauty of the original.
I never comment but i feel compelled. Ben woods if you happen to read this... awesome job. Ive been playing a long time and I'm pretty decent but this is inspiring. Fantastic guitar playing.
This is the most incredible cover which I have ever heard, it's better than actual song. You are fantastic guitarist and after this masterpiece you have one subscriber more 👏👏👏👏👏.
YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN. So glad to see someone play Flamenco that has a strong metal background, love it man. I found out about you because I took a couple lessons from the Great Ricardo Marlow when I lived In Virginia... Love this style and keep on doing your thing!
Great playing, love your mixing of Flamenco and Metal. If you land an acoustic endorsement deal you should have them build you an acoustic nylon string Rhoads offset V.
listening to this as I just got denied entry in med school and Ben Woods passed, rough days. to everyone reading this something good is coming but you can take the night off and get black out drunk in your kitchen, just don't do it tomorrow
You know what I like about this? Malmsteen couldn't touch this. I watch Ben and have to chuckle a bit with his surprising delicious guitar craziness here and there. That's flamenco for ya. Play to impress. Great job Mr Woods. Bravo!!
Bro this was radically good man so stupendous Mr. Woods. I live in Cali. But came to visit my family in India. For Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy new year. To you and your beloved family Sir. May the Lord Jesus bless you and your family.

EpixArtwork I thought I was doing ok until I heard this guy now I realise I'm shit lol

the only hard aprt i see here is the chord fingering speed i guess
I think it's time to stop fooling myself and sell my guitar... :P
LOL... username is appropriate! @@ThatGuy16697
Because playing that intro riff on open strings is for noobs.
JazzMan i dont think that someone like him is a noob!!!!!!!!!??? 😂
Mohamed Sherif hes saying this because most people play the first couple of measures using only open stings but this guy (ben woods) does not
I don't know my bad 😊
The skillz the skillz I wish I had those skillz
RIP Ben... ❤️❤️❤️ I'll listen & love your music till i meet you there...❤️❤️❤️❤️
What happened to him?
@@winstonsmith8236 cancer
Wait he passed away????
Gosh, really sucks !!
@@krasoos7501 yes he did unfortunately, pancreatic cancer if I can recall correctly
This guy must get invited to so many barbecues! ..... " oh and don't forget to bring your guitar".
he is not a barbecues player..com on
They have the guiatr already. He dont need to bring it.
I'd have him play at my BBQ!
Just when I thought I've seen this song played every way possible I run across this dude. Incredible dude!
I love flamenco and I love metal...this is heaven for me
Why the fuck are you not more famous?!
I've been listening to Flametal for years and have always asked myself this question.
Dean Whitehurst because the majoroty of people can't appreciate this or have thr patience to listen....maybe
Dean Whitehurst because simpleton people want simpleton mindless music. This is an experience to listen to and not many people appreciate real music
Glad I found Ben on UA-cam. I grew up in the 80s with the best music, Sorry he passed. He seems awesome. Definitely an awesome guitar player. RIP.
Such a sad loss of a huge talent ❤
Never fails to blow me away every time I watch it. I love Ben's technique and amazing musicianship.
Absolutely great and stunning. Someone said that Metal and Flamenco are perfect combination and he was absolutely right. The best cover I have ever heard.
This is ridiculously well put together, sticking to the true feel of the original, just filled in with Spanish intricacies...job well done!
sounds like there is 5 guitarists when you look away. this might be one of the greatest renditions of this song I have ever heard.
45k views only and gangam has billions ? this is how you know the world is retarded
BOOM. Top comment dude.
This world's FUBAR
6 years later and barely at half a million.
He looks like he's bored. Too easy for him.
Years of perfecting maybe
If song piece is learned we rare getting a feeling:(
Pewnie wymiotować mu się chce od grania tego gniota.Ale przebił oryginal milion razy
Fantastic, one of my favorite songs and one of my favorite playing styles together
This proved to me that acoustic practice is not a waste of my time. Thank you sir I have subscribed.
It never is a waste of time, it will pay its dividend with perseverance ,keep at it, besides ,its good for the soul.
Who even says that it's a waste of time?
Yokai Seishinkage why would you think playing acoustic is a waste of your time
Its not an acoustic guitar..
Its a classical guitar

This is probobly one of the best covers on youtube RN
This is the kind of video that should be in the trends of UA-cam
Beautiful tunes, beautiful performance
Love it. Great touch.
You are one of the world top guitarists as far as I know...wonderfully talented you are.
This is fantastic. The skill of course but the creativity and playfulness in the actual rendition really elevates the relatively basic beauty of the original.
Absolutely beautiful piece. So moving.
Wonderful !
flamenco passion

You're an astonishingly gifted player. Amazing stuff and very inspirational.
Has Metallica ever commented to your version? I thought it was very special and unique. Thank you. 🤘😎🤘
Thank you. That was beautiful !
Not only technically brilliant, but a very faithful and authentic arrangement as well, it sounded like Hatfield played it.
Holy shiiiiit. You are amazingly talented!
This is the most incredible cover which I have ever heard, it's better than actual song. You are fantastic guitarist and after this masterpiece you have one subscriber more 👏👏👏👏👏.

Farewell brother!!! Rest in peace...
Wow one of the most over played shittiest Metaillca songs and this guy made it sound like gold. This guy got some fucking skills
Awesome! It'd be nice to hear "The bard's song" on Flamenco Guitar also.
Again and again, amazing, cant stop hittin the repeat button
Great playing, love your mixing of Flamenco and Metal. If you land an acoustic endorsement deal you should have them build you an acoustic nylon string Rhoads offset V.
Scott Gallagher he is endorsed
Ben should be on top ! he deserves more
He doesn’t give a shit to be famous. So humble, I lovm
