Uncle Ben playing a lot of Paul lately! Love it!

[@Kriegter]

I remember watching this old video from Marty Friedman about mixing up the patterns a bit where you'd go from a pattern of 3 to a pattern of 5 to make it sound cooler

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

Come on good buddy, please do your version of the "BEAT IT" guitar solo - Eddie Van Halen!!! Give us what we all want the most.

[@APK-pn4qh]

I'd love to see Unca Ben do a full breakdown of the "Beat it" solo. Make it happen Unca. 🤘😎🤘

[@Aaronsadvice1]

Cool lick going to add it to my vocabulary, from Scotland here. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@HarlanHarvey76]

Omg.... It was like a nightmare! I just happened to look at the screen when I see Bald Ben!! Thank God the rest of his head came back in to screen...

[@BenEller]

hahahaha

[@silvertear87]

God, I needed this. Lol. I can sometimes jam and just go outside of my comfort zone, but I wish I could be more consistent with it. Thank you for this because it really is really easy to fall into the same licks over and over again

[@chucksaeger7500]

Another excellent lesson! Dude you’re amazing!

[@MiloshRistanovich]

Reminds me a bit of that Romeo lick in his video, where he groups 7s through the harmonic minor.

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Thanks uncle Ben. Another great video.... cheers mate.

[@sheriewart8100]

A music and math lesson all in 1 vid, thanks uncle

[@PawpawJamz]

Came here straight from insta. Great breakdown as usual. Cool riff🤘

[@eigengrau1]

Once aside from the learning aspect; The topic also encourages you to be a little more courageous in your interactions with other musicians and to grow out of yourself in the process.. Thank you so much (again) Uncle Ben..!

[@glennlysack5846]

As always multiple lil' pearls to pick up in one lesson Ben. Cool

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

Greetings, Uncle Ben. I’ve just signed up to your Patreon. Like any padawan, I look forward to venting deep frustration at your skill and realising that you do indeed have the higher ground. As to whether this ends in me turning to a life of annexing and the occasional purge is unknown. Here’s to the Alliance. Cheers.

[@BenEller]

Huzzah! Thanks for joining up!

[@user-es9ni8kr6h]

Dude PLEASE!! make more videos teaching the style of Slash, i love the way he plays and i love the way you teach!!!

[@randallhaney7909]

Yeah Daddy .. As your Pal here; The Right Reverend Randy says, Praise the Phrase, Cuz that's where it's at (full disclosure, I'm not a Reverend) LOL, Thanks Uncle Ben.. You and Your work here is appreciated. Keep on Praisin' the Phrasin' .. Can I get an Amen?

[@themetalghost]

you have so many sweet guitars!

[@Thijscube]

Uncle Ben, can you do a video on the best way to learn triads all over the neck? And how to use them.

[@christjerky2320]

Fuck…. I need to practice more.

[@erikfincher5011]

❤ thats amazing

[@keithwilson8235]

It’s Rocktober Zom-Ben! What are your “Rip And Tear” licks for Helloween?!

[@patandmacmusic]

I'm gonna peep the patreon but I'm gonna watch this video for the algorithm

*UNCLE BEN!*

[@BenEller]

HELLO!

[@nickgjenkins]

"Saying what wheird!?!?!" :D

[@JJohnson616]

Two odds make an even, and two wrongs make a right. Right?

[@sebastianmaw7365]

Hey Ben Is that picking sounds normal? It sounds like you pick the string really heavy, I've been accused of doing the same and it's made me really conscious of picking too hard when I play lead, what are your thoughts?

[@djsur2945]

Strategery... lololol

[@leohines4532]

Just watched your video you did on les pauls. Are you going to modify this paul with locking tuners and pickups or keep stock.

[@BenEller]

Nope!!! All the newer LP's I play now are seriously amazing straight from the factory. Stay in tune like CHAMPS, too, and sound amazing!

[@leohines4532]

Cool

[@danoguitar]

Noice!

[@robertk6546]

Could you take a look at the solo from OUT IN THE FIELDS by Gary Moore. It is quite challenging for me and I would love to see you play it your way. Maybe you have some tricks to make the playing a little easier. Anyway you are a master of your craft😀🔥Great teaching as always, keep it up unc🤘🏻

[@Forest_Fifer]

Been asking for that for ages

[@BenEller]

ooooooh ok! lets go!

[@robertk6546]

@@BenEllerthat would be so cool. I love Gary Moore so much ❤🤟🏻🔥One of the best guitarist’s ever and he was so versatile, true musician. May he forever rest in peace

patreon is not working

[@BenEller]

really? seems like its fine for everyone on there right now, wonder what the issue is?

[@GuitarJiuJitsuSkateboarding]

Very much like Chris Brooks’ video. ‘Great minds think alike…’ ? 🤔

[@guitardude1981]

Holy Arthritis! ;😜

[@omarpervaiz]

Uncle Ben making us more shredd-i-er. ✌🏼 60s necks weren't baseball bat inspired? Request permission to blame the 80s for that not so subtle change.

[@BenEller]

the neck on this thing is shockingly thin! So comfy.

[@omarpervaiz]

@@BenEller so it's a later mod? Never seen a thin neck Les Paul. Likely why I went the Strat and later Ibanez route. If it's got them Wizard neck feels I'm gonna hunt one down! Liam Neeson style..

[@slicknicdwyer]

Yes yes, this guitar playing is all fine and well, but tell me more about this... "maths". Two odd numbers always make an even number? Sounds like WITCHCRAFT 🤔🤔

[@jamesragsdale8202]

Your video is so obviously sped up.

[@BenEller]

Hahahaha no
