Man, that sweep picking tip is killer. Thank you!

[@bwm5150]

Pleased it can help! 👍

[@chris-thumper7205]

More tutorials! This was a MAJOR help and I actually figured it out in 5 minutes after trying to "learn" it by ear for the last 5 years or more. So embarrassing I was playing this totally wrong and so much harder. But not now!!! Thanks brotha, keep 'em coming!

[@damnfamo747]

I hear ya on that shit!!!!..... LMFAO..... Favorite song as a kid purely because of that solo.... Got first guitar because of it...

[@stx2715]

OMG I IMPROVED :))))))) ALL THANKS TO U. I never knew it was so ez, i practiced it for months, but dint inprove.... but now when i see ur video, i see my mistakes... Thanks you are underrated, and earned a like a sub

[@bwm5150]

That’s great! Well done, that’s your hard work, I just show the way.

[@lukascifuentesgriffiths9799]

Just in time!!! I just needed this, Thank youuuu!!!!

[@kenjiwalter5024]

Super video thanks for sharing your knowledge. I spent so long trying to play along with this solo and I was ‘rushing’. The tip to relax and slow it down works so well. 🤘🏼

[@bwm5150]

Glad it’s helped! Yes, the ‘rushing’ was where I was struggling with it.

[@damnfamo747]

Dude is one hell of a teacher.... Breaks down ALL fundamentals of both hands and their duties to work together.... Really Cool

[@bwm5150]

Aw thanks for the kind words! I'm very pleased if I can help people play in any way.

[@damnfamo747]

@@bwm5150 Never really wanted to be a star.... But when I hear something coming from a guitar that sticks in my head.... I MUST learn how to play it or I won't be able to live with myself...... LMFAO

[@thelmalynch7109]

Thanks for the lesson Ben you are too kind 🎧🎸👍 cheers your journey fan always 🌹

[@The7thEmergency]

Wow, what a breakdown! Never knew that about the different length notes in the main lick. Can't wait to apply this. 🤘🎸

[@RadmiloSaric]

You are right,he picks e6 twice,one down one up and that is the only wisdom

[@digbick4294]

Well Instructed👍🏻... I'm struggling mainly in the picking part ...

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

Fantastic. 👍

[@christophert7251]

That was a great tutorial, I can now play this! You should cover the beginning of the solo of I'll see the light tonight.

[@sjung66510]

More lessons like this!! Holy shit this is good stuff. Very relatable.

Great video 🔥👌

[@kacy2365]

Good explain

[@mowieboy]

I agree…great tutorial. Subscribed!

[@MrCarl5150]

I have zero musical talent but you make me want to learn 👍💪🎸🤘🤘🤘

[@hyutyub]

You are lifting your middle finger off the B string and yet able to make it stay so close to it . My middle finger opens up so big when i do the pinky pull off .. i'm hopeless😢

[@bwm5150]

Practice and muscle memory. Not easy but it should be achievable.

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

EXCELLENT.

[@bwm5150]

Hope it helps!

[@tritoneAsh]

Very helpful! 👏🏻👍🏻

[@PATRICKJLM]

Thanks!

[@luponl997]

Thanks a lot

[@zohandvir7606]

why do you move the middle finger, wouldn't it be easier to have it fixed in place?

[@bwm5150]

You don't want that note to sustain, so you need to mute it. I do that by lifting the finger off.

[@zohandvir7606]

[@stormtrigger5578]

Wooo, now i can finally do it lol, whats cool is that i sped it up to 2x at 4:21 and sounds exactly like it is on the song

[@annebrowne5868]

Norum alternate picks it. No hammer ons. Down up down up down up

[@bwm5150]

I’ve seen a live video where it shows him picking three and the pull off the last.

[@bwm5150]

Yeah that’s the one I saw.

[@AlanBideng]

Good

[@Leader17398]

Hey Ben what’s up I’ve been trying to get more into playing guitar and I’m getting better but I’m just getting stuck when I try to play faster, and I really wanted to learn this solo so any tips for alternate picking and how I can improve?

[@bwm5150]

I offered a few tips for that on my most recent stream and it was asked near the end by a Patreon member.

[@hichamarazi3417]

THANKS BRO FOT THIS TUTO, il will work on it

[@bwm5150]

you're welcome

[@ohmann238]

I always thought of it as a sweep appeggio😂

[@bwm5150]

Well, it kinda is.

[@ymelfilm]

4:21

[@krumplikus4346]

How do u isolate the background noise when ur doing the first lick? I have the problem that my string rings after i pull me finger and i have that dirty sound.

[@bwm5150]

Left hand muting techniques of lifting your finger but also using the tip of your first finger to mute the string above it as it plays the second note.

[@aprendiendoatocarlaguitarr7728]

Why put and remove the index finger of the left hand in the part of the fast slurs? Isn't it easier to leave the index finger fixed?

[@bwm5150]

My index finger is fixed, do you mean my middle finger?

[@aprendiendoatocarlaguitarr7728]

@@bwm5150 oh yes!!! Sorry!!! The Middle Finger

[@bwm5150]

I lift it off to stop the note. If you leave it held, and don't mute the string in any other way, then you create a chord sound instead of the individual notes. It's to make it sound cleaner.

[@aprendiendoatocarlaguitarr7728]

@@bwm5150 ok I understand

[@andyclark4557]

What equipment your using for this video, I'm really loving that guitar.

[@bwm5150]

I list my equipment in all my recent videos, but not this one since it's from 2019.

It's all stock

[@andyclark4557]

@@bwm5150 ok , thanks.

[@vegeta11]

Hey thanks for the Video. I wonder if it’s necessary to raise the second finger in the beginning lick. Can’t you just let it stay? Because you only get a sound of pulling of the pinky or am I wrong?

[@bwm5150]

I raise the second finger to mute the B string. Otherwise it would sound messy

[@hiroshi5386]

Ottimi consigli ma se guardi bene e rallenti l’assolo di Norum, la pennata è alternata…

[@bwm5150]

Not all picked. You can clearly hear the picked notes and legato ones.

[@hiroshi5386]

@@bwm5150 ok

[@vikotetseo2118]

Some of the notes you played was wrong😊😊

[@bwm5150]

I don’t think so 😅

[@dalec4906]

John Norum only picks twice for the first lick, I found it easier to pick every note lmao

[@bwm5150]

I think I do mention that about John

[@dalec4906]

@@bwm5150 Yeah you did I'm just saying lmao

[@bwm5150]

No worries, I think it helps to find your own way to play these things.

Thanks! It takes time but if you keep at it, you’ll get there.

[@pounderpolizzo7269]

5:09-5:12 sounds out of key

Norum goes outside of the key there yeah. If you listen to the record you will hear that.

[@rodneyposadas5852]

too much talk..

[@bwm5150]

Well it is a tutorial 😅

[@rodneyposadas5852]

you= tutorial is wrong..the lead is inverted...stop teaching when you dont know the real lead guitar technique.

[@bwm5150]

I think I’ve got it right and a lot of others think so too. There are two parts playing so maybe you are confused with that.
