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.

[@corybeckmann8823]

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

[@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!

[@johnyevo6575]

aha! shredding! caught red-handed!

[@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 😂

[@1961jscofield]

My God, can that guy SHRED!

[@VirtualGhostCyRENRAK]

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

[@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!

[@TehDrunkenMonkey]

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

[@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.

[@fadejmg]

Finally Ben is back!

[@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.

[@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.

[@guitagious9464]

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

[@Karu520]

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

[@thelolguy007]

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

[@ipg616]

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

[@marcusjones882]

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

[@clayy000]

I need one of those!

[@jaggercontreras9270]

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

[@LiberTBo]

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

[@paramedicpete7502]

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

[@bonihthaean2317]

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

[@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

[@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

[@cesarcordoba1272]

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

[@LeeHoMusic]

lovely sound, great guitar and the player!

[@geemac7267]

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

[@MichaelOfRohan]

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

[@aslbled06]

Ben is a phenomenal player!

[@nightwing.3378]

This is sick even in 2017

[@christianboddum8783]

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

[@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....

[@joro353]

Mesmerizing!

[@cloudvsephiroth215]

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

[@Dosun424]

Wow... just wow!

[@HellaSooner]

Outstanding.

[@svartsjokolade]

Great playing!

[@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.

[@markrosenquist8259]

Just WOW!!!🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@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 !!!!

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

Ben's KZbin channel has got cobwebs on it.

[@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 ...

[@MrRchauvin052494]

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

[@silentwhisperstudios7808]

Great Guitar playing Ben 👍

[@hazzpolo]

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

[@MikaTarkela]

Ben is amazing!

[@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.

[@Messier31NGC224]

Ohhh my god he is amazing!!!

[@kernelxsanders]

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

[@DScythe888]

bloody hell. Master of the shred

[@Cring0r]

what an absolute beast !!

[@thedudeaars8527]

great player

[@tlawless001]

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

[@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!

[@ernesthooper5649]

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

[@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.

[@PunkOfficial]

Your guitars are amazing man!

[@unpollo93]

Watching hands shredding in 60fps is really weird

[@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!

[@bigguns1965]

One sick shredder!!! \m/

[@RNAMusic]

BEN!!!!

[@lyconxero457]

Wow...just...wow.

[@fromthenorth2]

Dat is some skill right there.

[@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.

[@BoyAditya]

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

[@MickyGsaysrah]

Are you guys planning on going for a baritone guitar at any time? Would be epic! Especially if you could do one with a semi-hollow body! Or even an Acoustic Baritone would be awesome as they're aren't many and they cost a bomb.

[@GunsnRosesfan2012]

Rabea has a sig. Ml3 baritone that should be coming out this week at Namm

[@MickyGsaysrah]

+GunsnRosesfan2012 sweet! Cheers man! :)

[@sonusworld666]

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

[@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!

[@raylloyd102]

Great playing! I wish I was half that good. 😳 Chapman guitars are the best guitars I have ever played. I've owned Gibson, Parker, Fender, PRS, Schecter, Ernie Ball, Ibanez, Jackson. I think my ML-2 is a better guitar. I love playing it in the studio & live. Great job Chapman guitars! 🎸😎

[@timothysmith9277]

that riff at 2:20 is awesome

[@LiberTBo]

This ML-1 guitar was $499 in 2015 a Korean made solid swamp ash body....the current closest made guitar is an Indonesian manufactured guitar which has an ash body heavily finished for $429....which is the better deal to you? I like this Korean made guitar better.

[@MeTuLHeD]

The only guitarist that I have ever seen with faster alternate picking and cleaner legato is Paul Gilbert.

[@AndyNyle]

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

[@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

[@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?

[@travismcgrew3129]

if y'all were paying attention, rob said they had to get ben away from fishing to try these guitars. his right hand is sunburnt.

[@s4tchowns]

Holy shit what a brutal shred attack :D

[@iamchxos]

give ben a sig model!!

[@jonasraab3534]

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

[@Noelfuga300]

this guy......

[@Hadrimole]

Nice Ghost Fret's on the wall there ;)

[@Bezimienny97]

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

[@chrisnaishguitar]

Wow! Great playing! What kind of picks is Ben using?

[@joTheBonas]

He has amazing hair

[@RigelSounds]

respect

[@StefanoArmestar]

Yesssssssssss

[@johnmanganaro8478]

You can clearly see the blood building up in his pick hand as this video goes on. that's some good pickin'

[@approachyourself]

Hi Rob!

[@jaradfraser8005]

Any tabs for the crazy licks that he did?

[@mattymurdo4134]

This guy is SICK

[@donalgodon]

Makes me Jones for an ML-1 even more.

[@EthanRom]

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

[@RevisedTV]

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

[@MezmurHD]

Robs reactions are hilarious

[@abdullahhashmi9126]

The riff at 5:20 is so much better than the constant 0000000000......nowadays

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

He seems to have some trouble with that 3 way toggle

[@TheOnlineBusker]

Do you need to be a shredder to buy one of these? I only play blues and chord bashing folk... (and pop covers, Oasis etc)

[@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

[@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?
