Chapman ML-1 Natural Ash - New Gear Day For Ben Wilshire

[@corybeckmann8823]

i love his playing style, from malmsteen to classic rock in 3 seconds lol

[@GibsonAFD88]

But can he play smoke on the water?

[@bradoakley3450]

My pun senses have been fried out with that ine

[@yogengrg7690]

Well that's the millions dollar question isn't it? :D

[@ruscoelee]

+Owen Silker Can he play anything other than guitar wank?

[@GibsonAFD88]

ruscoe lee I understand where you are coming from regarding shred guitar, I've never been a huge fan however you cannot disregard the incredible technical ability this player has. The fluidity and right hand technique of his playing is fantastic but one thing shred guitar lacks is emotion. If you listen to Wes Montgomery, BB King or even players such as Robert Johnson, every note tells a story. With shred its more about showing off technical ability which Ben definitely has.

[@ruscoelee]

I agree Whole heartedly with what you say! All he needs to do now learn to use the technique to make sounds that are pleasing to the ear and not: "Look at what I can do!" We can hear pretty much everything he can do in one video and it sounds boring, like an over long drum solo.

[@johnyevo6575]

aha! shredding! caught red-handed!

[@VirtualGhostCyRENRAK]

Thanks for the tour, this young kid is Amazing at everything

[@1961jscofield]

My God, can that guy SHRED!

[@quibster]

His right hand is bright red after all that. What a player.

[@gingerrussell]

iNfx1 Probably sunburn from fishing ;)

[@corrado]

+iNfx1 someone quick, get him some moisturizer for that hand!

[@LiberTBo]

+RustyR Excessive "Jacking Off" out in the weather..???

[@sjb7183]

Warmed up!

[@CarrieLynnS]

It really does help to reveal the guitar's tone, resonance, etc when you have someone like this pick it up and play it. Awesome.

[@FuzzifyUK]

Bens playing has matured a lot in the last couple of years. Great technique and seems like such a humble guy, hopefully a star for the future.

[@Yesidoplaytheguitar]

I feel like such a shit guitar player now. great playing Ben! great choice 2

[@silentwhisperstudios7808]

Don't feel like that. Everyone is different , which is cool. People would say that after seeing Tina S. play. Just be you , because that's the best thing ever!!

[@hauntedchannel9163]

I feel pretty good about my skills actually 😂

[@guitagious9464]

Ben, you are one talented, Brit!!! Thanks for letting us be a part of your NGD!

[@The_Cadaver]

Every time I watch either of these dudes play, I get this big, shit-eating grin on my face. Such a treat to see that kind of technical prowess.

[@fadejmg]

Finally Ben is back!

[@TehDrunkenMonkey]

Still have my Chinese ML-1, Would love to get my hands on an ML-7S... The things I would do to it!

[@clayy000]

I need one of those!

[@thelolguy007]

Killer looking and sounding guitars. Kinda remind me a little of the Washburn N4 👍

[@winrar]

ben's a monster. used to watch a ton of vids from him a few years ago. good to see he's even BETTER now

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

Ben's KZbin channel has got cobwebs on it.

[@bonihthaean2317]

The great ben wilshire with the great guitars..grting frm indonesia..

[@simonrourke1978]

If I could play guitar like that I'd never leave the fucking house, as it is I'm shit so I'm always out!

[@paramedicpete7502]

Yes! Ben Wilshire is fuckin boss! It's about time you did a vid with him! Boom!

[@MichaelOfRohan]

Above everything, even the music, this just seems like a really sweet kid.

[@marcusjones882]

Amazing guitarist! Shame he doesnt upload anything new on his channel! Hungry for more!

[@jaggercontreras9270]

Awesome, Jagger from LA, California.. supper cool, guitar player

[@LiberTBo]

Check out his playing with Dhani Harrison....its awesome

[@cloudvsephiroth215]

I have that guitar I feel like I made a good choice now!!!

[@aslbled06]

Ben is a phenomenal player!

[@nightwing.3378]

This is sick even in 2017

[@dac088]

I’ve just purchased the ml3 mod here in Australia. Can’t wait to get it..... I’m in trouble with the wife though, but I know it will be worth it.... Ben is an amazing player....

[@MrRchauvin052494]

home boy helped me truly determine that i'm GOING to buy one of these

[@jaharris1701]

wow !!! dude is SICK!!! what better dude to give a Chapman guitar too !!

[@cast390]

You Andertons guys have to have him on MORE videos. One of the better guitar players you've had on the show.

[@geemac7267]

Somebody's had lessons! lol Great guitars those Chapmans.

[@danbenkert]

Bens really evolved as a player. He used to do alot Malmsteen runs he's now doing incredible legato and blues. Nice playing Ben much improved sounds as if you have found yourself !!!!

[@Dosun424]

Wow... just wow!

[@cesarcordoba1272]

oh man!! very nice guitar and great sound!! I would like to taste it someday!! sound amazing!!

[@iliasxa360]

were is it from at 5:09

[@LeeHoMusic]

lovely sound, great guitar and the player!

[@DScythe888]

bloody hell. Master of the shred

[@ipg616]

Jesus fucking Christ on a bicycle, his technique is so on point

[@markrosenquist8259]

Just WOW!!!🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@joro353]

Mesmerizing!

[@HellaSooner]

Outstanding.

[@hazzpolo]

7:04 "He just won't stop"..lol you go Ben!

[@Messier31NGC224]

Ohhh my god he is amazing!!!

[@Cring0r]

what an absolute beast !!

[@Karu520]

2:40 where the fuck is the pickup selector? 2:41 oh these are chapmans

[@AndyK.23]

Oh crap! He's gotten BETTER!?

[@shreddiekrueger359]

+Andy K Yeah, he is starting to break away from all the Malmsteen stuff. The influence is still there but he's starting to put his own signature on it. He has clearly developed some good hybrid picking technique and is getting tastier with his phrasing. He is really becoming a monster, I hope to hear some good shit from him in the future.

[@MikaTarkela]

Ben is amazing!

[@svartsjokolade]

Great playing!

[@tlawless001]

He's playing so good his right hand is literally on fire it's so red

[@silentwhisperstudios7808]

Great Guitar playing Ben 👍

[@fromthenorth2]

Dat is some skill right there.

[@kernelxsanders]

I can totally hear his Paul Gilbert influence, nice player and nice guitars

[@jadipeperzak4034]

What i really like about the chapman guitars is That they have ebony fretboards , they are the only ones like , the other ebony fretboard guitars are like 3k relic fenders or super expensive jacksons

[@sweetstrawberry1995]

+Jadi Peperzak Nah man, there's plenty of guitars more affordable than that with ebony boards, just not in the ml-1 price range. Ltd deluxe guitars often have ebony, jackson pro series (700-1000 ish) have ebony, plenty of schecters have it,...

[@jadipeperzak4034]

+Peachy yeaah , but this chapman is 500 ...

[@TheBedelbaev]

What's the song at 5:17

[@RNAMusic]

BEN!!!!

[@lyconxero457]

Wow...just...wow.

[@victorramsey5575]

I have one of these natural ash ml1's, mine has Dimarzios. I bought the guitar used so I dont know if the pickups are stock are added. Either way I got a great deal on an awesome guitar!

[@thedudeaars8527]

great player

[@Pattamatt1998]

I felt pretty good about my guitar skills up until Ben started playing.

[@hauntedchannel9163]

Dont feel bad everyone plays different and that's his style like I feel good abt my skills after watching him so idm

[@sonusworld666]

Insanely Awesome - This is Mindfuckingblowing - Ben You RULE 🤘🤘

[@s4tchowns]

Holy shit what a brutal shred attack :D

[@bigguns1965]

One sick shredder!!! \m/

[@jaradfraser8005]

Any tabs for the crazy licks that he did?

[@PunkOfficial]

Your guitars are amazing man!

[@LuluswTV]

I know I'm really late to the party, but I'm currently looking into the ML1 traditional pro (satin natural ) and I was wondering if the sound is similar to this?

[@timothysmith9277]

that riff at 2:20 is awesome

[@Bezimienny97]

Does anybody know what happened to Ben? All his channels and social media are inactive since around 2020.

[@TenPester]

I just bought a Fender Mex Strat. An ML-1 is the same price. It sounds great, but is it better than a Mex strat?

[@Noelfuga300]

this guy......

[@AndyNyle]

was it a bit of Dime there that got Rob going at 4:02?

[@christianboddum8783]

I'm keeping an eye out for when Chapmans come "Guthrified", meaning non-finetuner Floyd and locking machineheads (no locking nut) ;-)

[@dlees8432]

hi i brought one of these guitars, its so great i luv it. do you sell pickguards for them? id like to buy one. but i cant find any

[@BoyAditya]

where is ben ... almost half year he's not update his channel

[@iamchxos]

give ben a sig model!!

[@MezmurHD]

Robs reactions are hilarious

[@RigelSounds]

respect

[@mattymurdo4134]

This guy is SICK

[@Hadrimole]

Nice Ghost Fret's on the wall there ;)

[@donalgodon]

Makes me Jones for an ML-1 even more.

[@RevisedTV]

Did anyone else notice the tuning pegs are black and the bridge os chrome? my symmetry related ocd is kicking in lol

[@joTheBonas]

He has amazing hair

[@jamesk.2195]

I'm in the market shopping for a new guitar and I've been watching a lot of Chapman demos and I'm very interested in this guitar company's products. I looked online and found a dealer here in Texas called RNA Music in Canton, so I am planning a trip there to check out some Chapman axes.

[@jamesk.2195]

I need to add that I'm no slouch on the guitar by any means, but the guy in this video is a MONSTER player!

[@jonasraab3534]

Is that Satriani's "two sides to every story" in the background?

[@arisl2370]

Do you know how to play any chords ben??

[@creamfalcon]

Seriously, this dude is insane.. I'm no guitar expert but he has to rank up there with some of the best in the world.. No?

[@martinbohl8732]

+Anthony LaMantia uhm, pls understand me right, he is a really good player - but "best in the world" no - otherwise there must be 10.000 at the top 10 of guitar players. Its "just" soulless scale playing, it also depends on the feeling, song writing, live performance, and so on and so on. this guy is a awesome player absolutly but thousands of other players too

[@sebaileyus8043]

Does one detect 3 ghost frets in that room?

[@viperBSG]

great player! guitar sound's BIG! I Love it. Question Is Chapman Guitars still working on a Bass? I'd love to see one.

[@bogdanstanev9608]

In which program you create the guitars

[@darklibra2488]

what's the name of the pedal beside the amp ?

[@hanomag251]

yeah

[@StefanoArmestar]

Yesssssssssss

[@approachyourself]

Hi Rob!

[@ernesthooper5649]

How much is one of these jemz??? Sounds absolutely killer & versatile as hell!!!!! I'm sold on it, $$$$$ ????

[@Amber57499]

How old is he? Holy shit...

[@Robstafarian]

You should see how close he was to this level years ago, in Rob Chapman's old videos. I think I remember that Ben featured in a video about the Marshall MA amps-I know he was in a comparison of two Marshalls which was not filmed at Andertons.

[@bev1034]

is that shreddicus maximus?

[@danbenkert]

Whats one of those ML-1 natural ash sell for here in the states?? I really like that guitar a lot.

[@utooberblooper]

+Dan Benkert $700+

[@DevinCLott]

+trillriff-axegrinder actually they are only 550 here in the states.

[@ryanharris2175]

Ive played a great fender mexican that can do van halen type of tone and ive have a ml1 mahogany body wood that doesn't cut it in that respect but will this one do it or should i go for the fender ?

[@ryanharris2175]

+Mike Hoelsgens trust me mate i would if i could i like the ml1 i got and the fender but if this one can do van halen id rather get that

[@MrBtechnology]

+Ryan Harris if you wanna go van halen, go get a guitar with a floyd rose.

[@ryanharris2175]

+Devil2Stronk i know floyd would be best but i like to use it for other stuff to

[@MrBtechnology]

+Ryan Harris yea so u can buy a floyd and just take the term arm out when u don't need it lol. ibanez guitars would be best for that, personally I would recommend the jem. very versatile, can do alot of tones.

[@ryanharris2175]

+Devil2Stronk fair enough ill have a look

[@EthanRom]

I mean he was already good to begin with, but when he played on the second guitar. wow.

[@tommyb1378]

Is this in book 2? :D Great player! Good work Ben. I would love to know if Chapman guitars would make another swamp ash like that setup just like that? I just can't seem to find them on Andertons :( also how much? how much you laik? you baaaaiii you baiii twenty dolla!

[@louistyson4305]

so like wow
