Makes me feel old. I was a teenager when that song came out. Just started learning to play guitar. This should be fun even though I’m 50 now. Not doing the spandex thing at 50 though.
Dig it. This is my generation of music. Between Poison and Warrant I would wear the tapes out. The very first CD I bought was a live Poison double disc. You should do a lesson on the acoustic stuff at the beginning of Uncle Tom's Cabin
Thanks for the lesson! I was having so much trouble with the Chuck Berry style lick and could not get it right. I had the strum pattern right but it never sounded right. Finally figured out that I was trying to play it way too fast. I slowed it down and, bam, it finally sound right. Sometimes we try too hard when we just need to slow down 😄
Thank you Ben! As for next videos: Steelheart "Can't stop loving you" has a killer solo. Its so fast in some parts, so might be pretty hard for intermediate players like myself, but may be worth a try? Or my be smth from Cinderella, like Nobody's fool has pretty good solo. It's may be not a shredder, but probably requires extra work for the tone. Cheers!
CC has said that he was highly influenced by 50's guitarists.. Les Paul, Chuck Berry etc. He said that's what he grew up listening to, cause his dad always played those records in the house when he was a kid. So a lot of his riffs in his solo's etc really reflect that to me.
I learned this solo from some tab in a guitar magazine back in the day and I never could figure out why it sounded so different from the record when I tried to play it. All these years later, this video answered the question for me….. It was because the tab in that guitar mag was COMPLETELY WRONG! 🤣
Great as usual, Ben. Have you considered doing the last ascending run in the Crazy Train solo? I don’t know how many different ways I’ve seen that one explained/tabbed out.
Brilliant tutorial mate. Cheers from Australia. Oh btw you officially have the best F'*king name for a metal band 😂 I remember those days well... hell, would any of us have been in a band at all if it wasn't for the Skanks 😂
I wish I'd found this series sooner. I'd LOVE to see a lesson on the solo for Bridge to Cross by Black Label Society; I've tried SUPER hard to figure it out myself (not that I can play it at all), and I think I've got the first fast bit down, but my WORD is it hard work. No accurate tabs anywhere, I'm going off a low quality, slowed down UA-cam video, one insta video of Wylde playing it (though the angle isn't overly clear). Would love to see someone as studious and talented as you are take a swing at it!
Great video. Saw SkankBanger a few years back at the Tin Roof in Lexington KY. Not sure if that was your band. Enjoyed the show. Great playing and band was obviously having fun and camping it up.
Except it kinda did die, around the early to mid 1990's. I used to have long hair like Ben and the androgynous hair-metal-gods like Poison... but that was decades ago. These days I have jazz fusion hair, which is more of a normal length, but slightly grayer. LOL
Love Poison...was looking forward to seeing them live, but i think the show got postponed. Hey Uncle Ben...are you the one that plays the pink guitar in Skankbanger? Man that is lovely guitar there. Way back in the mid 90's playing in my first band I would get weird looks from people. When i use to have my long hair and a Hot Pink Ibanez RG series guitar playing hard Thrash Metal. Got alot of people wanting to buy it from me. Even a couple of Touring bands we opened for. In the end, it got stolen and never saw it again. man i was bummed...didn't play music for a couple of years. Named it Gwen
How are you able to memorize a solo in this amount of great detail so that you can play it almost identically every time? Do you just practice it so many times that you eventually get it or do you have a technique to help you retain the details? Can you hum the solo in full before you start learning it? For me, memorizing it is sometimes harder than the playing techniques required. Thanks for the vids.
Well, the thing with CC is, I hardly want to play things like he plays them live. Most of the time a prefer the sound of the “refine” transcriptions you mention.
i liked the video but it made it 970 instead of 969 so i unliked it, that was a close one. second time learning this solo and it was a pleasure both times, thanks uncle ben!
i must say that was awesome! i wont argue with you on most of the solo, only 2 things. i hear 2 wrong notes on the decending pulloffs, the b string should go to the first fret not the second, and the run should end on the 3rd fret on the e string for the g note that the bass is holding. i may be wrong but that is what i hear.
nice lesson. The question is.. why is CC de Ville not playing now those great catchy solos as close of original recording... will be more successfull dan playing random crazy notes instead
This is a good beginner solo for sure but Holy Crap, I almost wish you hadn't awoken those neurons from high school that I though I'd pissed away during my beer career ..
Incredibly underrated player CC. Btw, I've found out that when playing live, he just changes and make up stuff, depends on his sobriety... or lack off.
@@josearalat before you judge you should actually know what you're talking about. CC is a super health nut now. His long distance running is his addiction. He's been clean for 20 years.
Getting into his mind by expertly knocking down his psychological walls and making him tingle with feelings of pleasure, means you're doing it right. There are many so called "canned phrases" to make it happen, for example go’ogling something like Celestine Dessike's Words of Desire was the perfect formula for me
Hey, great job this sounds like it’s all based on Celestine Dessike's Words of Desire. And yes, that’s the material you need to have him resonating with erotic electricity at your will. Sounds like too much IK, but just for the basics it's worth go'ogling her ;)
Really appreciate this. C.C. DeVille is the most under appreciated and misinterpreted guitar player. This is exactly how he plays it.
I concur
Makes me feel old. I was a teenager when that song came out. Just started learning to play guitar. This should be fun even though I’m 50 now. Not doing the spandex thing at 50 though.
If you do it with a spandex suit on, it sounds much better
Gold spandex comment 😂 me too
AGE IS JUST A NUMBER BRO!
Wtf not lol
This was the first solo I learned way back in the 1900's when this music was popular.
feels like it sometimes....
Just played this and now have all the chicks! 🐣🐣🐣
This song is C.C.’s gift to us guitar players. My favorite is Nothing But A Good Time, but playing that solo at full speed is a tall order.
Dig it. This is my generation of music. Between Poison and Warrant I would wear the tapes out. The very first CD I bought was a live Poison double disc. You should do a lesson on the acoustic stuff at the beginning of Uncle Tom's Cabin

Skankbanger lmao
Loved the name, I'm already a fan
Thanks, Ben. Our band just added that to the hair metal portion of our show, and this was a cool look at a fun and simple riff. Rock on!
Dammit every time I see that axe I want to make bad decisions
Man, I like your laid back approach.
Uncle Ben makes this shit look easy!

That's exactly how I play it. Well done.
Awesome thanks Mr B. Would be so awesome if you could one day do Nothin’ But A Good Time too! :)

morning coffee with the home schooled Tennessean. Must be Friday. YEAH!!

nice teachin! Agree that's CC style!
I’ve been practicing this solo every day now. The pull offs are kicking my ass hard
C.C is criminally underrated!
@Luke still people dismiss him as sane kind of useless piece of crap player. That's totally unfair to him. He's a great player!
Thank you!!!!!! I’ve needed this!!
Great Lesson Uncle Ben! "Climbing up the D...that's what she said!" Awesome!!!
Choice solo. I like Bodoms version as well. Alexis goes bananas on the solo.
Finally a solo that fits the sick tiger pattern of that guitar!
talk dirty to me uncle ben-- was a search term i never expected to use 😅
XD love you Ben 13:37
Great as usual, Ben. Have you considered doing the last ascending run in the Crazy Train solo? I don’t know how many different ways I’ve seen that one explained/tabbed out.
“it’s really stupid and fun to play” LMAO
Uncle Ben would you be able to do I won't forget you by Poison? Does SkankBanger do any NY shows?
Brilliant tutorial mate. Cheers from Australia. Oh btw you officially have the best F'*king name for a metal band 😂 I remember those days well... hell, would any of us have been in a band at all if it wasn't for the Skanks 😂

Nice and tidy! 😎
Rock n Roll will never die 🤘

Do the right way to play "still of the night" guitar solo
Easy to learn but its really clever

Just what I needed, to go with this midnight dip of snuff.
Love these vids man. \m/
MegaCrasherMusic How is it nasty? No nastier than drinking alcohol or eating mustard. or smoking. Just gotta brush them there teeth.
Most underrated video of an under-rated solo from an under-rated guitarist you deserve more views. By the way never heard it pronounced sub seequent
Would love a tutorial on the Fallen angel whole song by Poison. Nobody on UA-cam gets it right. Too hard 🤬
Hi Ben, came across this looking for CCDV tones - any chance you still have this Kemper profile? Cheers 🤘
hey pls make a video on strumming
Well, the thing with CC is, I hardly want to play things like he plays them live. Most of the time a prefer the sound of the “refine” transcriptions you mention.
I agree with the loose-ness... with as much cocaine and liquor flowing in his system I don't see him too worried on tightness.
Please go over a Brandon Ellis solo, that would be amazing!
1/2 between strings!
i liked the video but it made it 970 instead of 969 so i unliked it, that was a close one. second time learning this solo and it was a pleasure both times, thanks uncle ben!
What do I need to put my Bass,Middle and Treble to get closer to this tone?
i must say that was awesome! i wont argue with you on most of the solo, only 2 things. i hear 2 wrong notes on the decending pulloffs, the b string should go to the first fret not the second, and the run should end on the 3rd fret on the e string for the g note that the bass is holding. i may be wrong but that is what i hear.
twcazhd man, the 2nd fret b string C# note is WAY out of key, but it’s totally there. I wish it wasn’t, but it’s there haha
Oh no uncle ben forgot to insert funny jokes again
Good lesson as always
C.C. DeVille **IS** the joke.
Much love to CC DeVille
Wanna see a split screen synchronised version with Robert Baker!
I made this comment BEFORE seeing RB's "Dad Riff Showdown" vid 😎 Now it's even more fitting!
nice lesson. The question is.. why is CC de Ville not playing now those great catchy solos as close of original recording... will be more successfull dan playing random crazy notes instead
this is the easiest version around man thanks.
This is a good beginner solo for sure but Holy Crap, I almost wish you hadn't awoken those neurons from high school that I though I'd pissed away during my beer career ..
don't talk dirty to me
Who makes the guitar your playing on?
Suhr!
can i get that at Grand dad speed LOL
Spandex & Aqua Net not included 😊
Great stuff Uncle Ben, sub +1
Incredibly underrated player CC. Btw, I've found out that when playing live, he just changes and make up stuff, depends on his sobriety... or lack off.
Dude has been sober since the 90's..
@@ryant3600 Yeah right, so has Dave Mustaine.

@@ryant3600 Ok, random person. I'll take your word. You must be his sponsor or something.
Now I see why CC de Ville gets mocked by Satchel...

its a good tutorial but slow down
What do you mean YOU play in a band called Skankbanger??? Davey does not approve.

How dare you call talk dirty to me stupid
