My step dad was trying to tell me that tapping is just flashy nonsense and I should stick to boxed pentatonic licks. My real dad shook his head and told me to see my uncle Ben. Thanks!
Home studio is looking great Uncle Ben! Commenting before I've watched all the way through, so apologies if this mentioned, but a compressor can be the secret sauce to making this technique sound the way you want it to.
super cool Ben! this sounds great, and probably much fun as an exercise, I'll totally give it a try. Thanks for this, also for talking about the soft capo, the muting, the tone, not let the notes bleed ... really all fantastic tips. Please make more videos like that, perhaps you can find a cool exercise on shredding and on sweeping too ? thanks again man.
I learned Scale the Summit’s “The Levitated” ages ago on my first 7 string, and what a masterclass in 2 hand tapping that was. I miss having a 7 string almost just to play that song
I always tought this is complicated. Now I'm convinced it is! 😂 Thank you for all the fantastic content you put out,it is always a pleasure to listen and watch ( although most of the time difficult to play😂)!
The last few etudes really made we want Yingyang Milkshake to be my stepdad :) No seriously, Thanks Uncle Ben, I have enjoyed the etudes alot and it helped me advance my playing!

Wow you can actually play the right hand notes cleanly with right amount of finger pressure. Usually when I see people trying it, their right hand hammers and pulls are severely lacking and muffled compared to the left hand
Glad you mentioned what kind of effects you were running. I was thinking with something like this, it would be nice to know how you're getting that sound. Like....what's your volume / tone at on the guitar along with which pick-ups, etc. Just those small details that really help folks starting off how to get those sustains when you're tapping as oppose to using a pick
This was dope I always wondered about this stuff...in extreme metal writings iv heard this stuff used it sounds bonkers like I needed to be able to but never had a breakdown like this one 😊so solid
I’m a shredder (see my videos) but I’ve never really been very good at tapping, I can do it but I’ve always preferred to keep my hands on the guitar and holding the pick
BEN ELLER, is this called Alberti Bass or broken figure? most classical broken figures in the left hand are 1-3-5 or 1-b3-5 the way your broken figure is the bass hand is 1 while the right hand is going the 5-8 octave and then the bass hand does the 3rd while the does right hand 5th to octave then the bass hand does the 5th while the right hand does the 5th to octave.
Wow....I'm right handed and didn't realized how uncoordinated my right fingers are! I can do kind of complicated, fast tapping with my left hand doing most of the work, but reversing that is so damn awkward. I'm having to just practice tapping on my desk with the pattern to try to speed things up!
Ok .. all that stuff just seems so easy ... as you put it .... but ... how about the fx you NEED in order to bring those notes to a decent volume level and what about your pickups ?? SC?,HB? ...
Is Uncle Ben a bad enough dude to make a full song (not just the intro) lesson of Seventeen, including the crazy solo and Reb Beach’s unique tapping? I think Uncle Ben is, but does Uncle Ben realize he is?
Great lesson, as always, but isn't the title perhaps a little bit off? It's kind of hard to do *any* sort of tapping without using both hands - this particular concept I would probably call something like 4-finger tapping or something ;)

he's not your real dad, he can't tell you what to do!
You wouldn't expect your step dad and your dad to agree on anything, would you? 😁
Your poor mom !😢
Your uncle is correct in one sense.. It is what you make it. Flash and substance are on opposite sides of the coin
Thanks Uncle Ben, we love you. Thank you, The Internet.
That sounds quite cool.
Ahhh."Bach"
This Style/Flavor is for sure.. too Cool,
Thanks Uncle Ben, You are appreciated.
Right on, Ben, thanks!
That guitar….. GOD, that’s gorgeous!
Thanks! I love it!
I love the tapsachord!
Color coded. Pretty smart.
My inner EVH is loving this!! You the man, Uncle Ben!
Tory Slusher
Bubble trousers is one sick tapper
St-Eller Mr eller
Cant wait to get home and give it a try... France Bubbletrousers is by far my all-time most favoritest tapper.
Nice etude DOOD! Castlevania vibes are strong!
You're a legend Uncle Ben!!! Thank you for this beast of tune!
Always upload right as I’m bout to sleep, always worth though.
Definitely gonna tap that, thanks step tap uncle
That Gypsy Hook 5:52 is brilliant, showed you can do this stuff in any style. Im gonna do some Gysy stuff with that, great ideas Ben.
Awesome! your new studio looks great too

Sounds awesome! Thank you again Ben!
Love that tone. Delicious thanks Uncle Ben
You are a great teacher.
So cool
thank you young man
I have been waiting for something like this for ages! Thanks Uncle Ben!
Moo
I look forward to this, Uncle Ben....
Time to use this technique to learn Atlas Novus by Scale the Summit!
Much kudos on the tapping and the muting. Most guitarists definitely don't want 'that sock' wrapped around the neck. Right teenagers?
Thanks Uncle Ben, keeping it real Harpsichord heaven, much luv
👍😍👍
Thanks uncle Ben! Midnight is so cool, really fun to play, this is super fun too! Excited to learn it!
@10:12 : Mind blowing tips !! awesome Maetro
Heh... my first two-hand tapping song that I learned with was also a Satch song: "Day at the Beach" (from "Flying In A Blue Dream").
That was so good! Helped me see tapping in a different way, I’ll definitely be watching this again with my guitar in hand! Thanks Uncle Ben 😉
Uncle Ben and dad Ben degros (old time skater)
This is super sweet and definitely something I want to learn. Thanks Uncle Ben.
This is so cool. I can't wait to get home, plug in my guitar and try this! TY
super cool Ben! this sounds great, and probably much fun as an exercise, I'll totally give it a try.

Thanks! There’s a great sweep etude from like 2 weeks ago on my channel.
Killer lesson Ben as always, cheers from all the way across the continent, Vancouver, Canada. Ed
Thanks Uncle Ben! Great video ❤❤

Why'd you get rid of it? Rent? Or annoyance with the differences?
@@TheBfutgreg that particular guitar had always been a Struggle to play, in one way or another - i just wasn’t getting along with it
Great job!!! This is an awesome lesson!!
Sounds really good Ben
Nice I have been using this technique for some time now, yet a very cool and musical note choice/sequence! Will give it a try!
This reminds me of that two-hand tapping rendition of Tubular Bells you did way back! Never quite mastered that one haha
Very nice.
EXCELLENT.
So cool
Don Lappin is my favorite tapping guitarist! You should check him out!
Cheers Ben great lesson .
love the vids uncle ben!
This was awesome, sounds so good
Damn. That was dope.
Badass thanks bud ...
I always tought this is complicated. Now I'm convinced it is! 😂 Thank you for all the fantastic content you put out,it is always a pleasure to listen and watch ( although most of the time difficult to play😂)!
Joe Satch Day at the Beach and Midnight are awesome pieces of 2 handed tapping music
Nice lesson. Would love to see a lesson on how to play Midnight also. 🤘
Must say again, great teacher and player Ben is!
Ben is da man! 👍
The last few etudes really made we want Yingyang Milkshake to be my stepdad :)
No seriously, Thanks Uncle Ben, I have enjoyed the etudes alot and it helped me advance my playing!
Glad to hear! It makes learning a LOT more fun.
I thought of Synister Gates' Master Class.
Whoa a great pattern, you could play the harpsichord parts on In My Life, Love Is Blue, What’s New, Pussycat?
_Sign up today and you be tapping those assets in no time or your money back, guaranteed. You know what I meant._ You're a riot and your vids are legendarily hilarious.
Try playing Bach’s d minor Toccata and Fugue this way.
Thank You DUDE!
Nicely done uncle Ben. You should sell that to a medieval TV show lol.
Chris Broderick comes to mind when I think of two handed tapping but Jeff Watson was a pioneer.
Tap-dance speed? Thanks tap-dad!
Loudness - Rock'n'Roll Gypsy solo is a cool two handed tapping piece :p
Awesome as always! Thank you ❤
Is Ben like,...a kajillionare? Love your work Ben.
Wow you can actually play the right hand notes cleanly with right amount of finger pressure. Usually when I see people trying it, their right hand hammers and pulls are severely lacking and muffled compared to the left hand

Really really useful, thanks😊
I've only got acoustic guitars but wonderd if it's possible to tap an electric bass, I'l;l give it a go. Thanks for the video Unc!
It absolutely is. Look up Stu Hamm playing moonlight sonata or Linus and Lucy.
@@BenEller and John Ferrara from Consider the Source!
Thx! My whole upper body hurts now. Great stuff!
hey Ben just wondering what you think of the Luke 3. very hard to get in Ireland. great video thanks
Absolutely lovely guitars!!! I adore mine.
I have a full video about this guitar after I got it. Late 2021 I think?
I see for this little ditty, you invoked the Power of Petrucci! 😛
This sounds really cool! The best I can do is Return of the Giant Hogweed.
Very nice!
The coolest tapping riff I've ever heard is symphony x - sea of lies.
So good!!!
I don't like practicing tapping, but this stuff is 🔥
That was hilarious. Ben, tapping that ass! Or your money back. Thanks for this lesson, bro.
Amazing..🤘🖤
More neoclassical please
Thank you
Uncle Bach!
Before I watch the video, three words:
Buckethead
I’m a shredder (see my videos) but I’ve never really been very good at tapping, I can do it but I’ve always preferred to keep my hands on the guitar and holding the pick
Uncle Ben! Are you still doing Skype lessons?? I’d love to learn from the best
Man I do a veeeery limited number. Haven’t had openings since 2020!
@@BenEller dang :/ I would love to schedule a lesson someday, there’s a bunch of stuff I want to learn and I feel like your the right person man

Now I have to play Castlevania.
googled "How to Castelvania OST" and got sent here, thank you internet music man
Holyshit!!

Ben, I'm a beginner and don't know alot yet. How do you set the amp? So as to be able to do the tapping.
There’s some tone tips later in the video.

👍👍👍
Great lesson, as always, but isn't the title perhaps a little bit off? It's kind of hard to do *any* sort of tapping without using both hands - this particular concept I would probably call something like 4-finger tapping or something ;)
I usually just call it multi-finger tapping
Any tips. I used to love playing guitar. Played for 12 yrs but then lost interest. Havent played in 5yrs. How do i get back to it?
Play songs, as many as you can! I swear, it’s the one thing most guitar players don’t do enough of.
