This was to bait in all those 80s shredders and crush their souls with pure mastery.

[@beneunson]

Haha thanks 😂

[@delusican1960]

I agree bro. Kinda like false advertisement.lol He didn't rain on my parade though,, I was not an 80's shredder 😜😜

[@robphillips8351]

Lol, no raining on the parade, guys talented, reminds me of Frank Gamblle, i know im not spelling that right, but yeah nice playing. Definitely fusion rock vibe 👍👍

[@tristanmccoppin5761]

Glorious. Ideas at 11 seconds I re-watched about 10 times

[@beneunson]

Thanks mate!

[@darksideofthebright4284]

Greg Howe influence here. Very nice passages.

[@AlexH4774]

Pure ear candy!

[@beneunson]

Thanks!

[@jace76ful]

Lovely playing ben. I like your note choices. It's a very lovely happy major sounding with a jazz touch. I'm not very deep in theory, so Idk if I know exactly. lol I played 30 some years so far, no theory learning, which I don't recommend anyone do! I've been slowly learning theory after 30 years. I feel like I wasted a lot of time.

[@beneunson]

Thank you so much for listening! That's fantastic you've been learning theory - there's never a bad time to do that. I'm always revising concepts myself 😀

[@anthem7777]

never to late to learn

[@kennyroebacara914]

[@andreasjonsson5823]

[@beneunson]

Thanks Andreas! 😂

[@tenorbanjoguy]

Stellar!!❤❤

[@beneunson]

Thanks!

[@bobjanetmart506]

This solo is so exhilarating. What even goes through your mind when you do this?

[@beneunson]

So glad you liked it! Not sure actually...

[@geneiti2177]

Free virtual big hugs here, love this Ben. listening to you play over the backing, nice backing I must add, after listening to you I went back to listening to a tune by Alex Argento called Embrace to the world, the tune gives me that same vibe Big hugs and free spirited vibe, Love your work.

[@beneunson]

Thank you so much, Gene! I really appreciate it. I'm not familiar with this song, I'll check it out! All the best to you and thanks again 😀

[@jazzercaster4749]

Sounds so good, have been watching your videos all week, so much inspiration in your clips Ben, what are you using for an amp in this? Also what camera are you using? Just looks fabulous.

[@beneunson]

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you've been enjoying my videos! This amp was the Laney LA-Studio, and the camera is the Sony A7iii. Thank you again!

[@brianbutterworth6107]

This is the most distortion I've ever heard you use. It reminds me of Vinnie Moore's tone on the "Time Odyssey" album...beautiful! Actually, Ben can we get a video of you playing "Pieces of a Picture" by the Vin man? Your style would really shine on that song.

[@beneunson]

Thanks so much Brian, I really appreciate it. Vinnie is brilliant - let me see what I can do! 😀

[@ColinWardMusic]

How/what amp head are you running to? Is there a cab you’re mic-ing or d i into daw with plugins etc? Fantastic work 👏

[@beneunson]

Thanks Colin! I'm running into the DAW in this video. I appreciate you listening!

[@cankutbayhan]

Ben its supercool once more, will you or do you think going for live streaming , actually im all about a way for chit chatting possibility wif my Tarzan dialect at best, in total like some discussion you might feel enticed, on the progressions you do the scoring underneath, like when you prefer sounding rather up top and when rather in-blend and how you define the main"alities" you save them as one...hazardous play for breakfast...

[@beneunson]

Are you thinking of a livestream where I talk a bit about playing "outside" of the harmony? If so, I could do that sometime soon! 😀

[@cankutbayhan]

@@beneunson yep in total, "outside of the known universe", if you also think that way, i mean seriously...it means i think

[@rickvonrockendale4300]

Sweeeegeeezus..............!

[@beneunson]

Thanks Rick!

[@Truthinshredding1]

Is this bait and switch? I was there in the 80's there was guitar like this, but in the fusion field. But who cares, when you love it!

[@beneunson]

😂 So glad you love it!

[@patrickhang5974]

Your playing reminds me of Frank Gambale. Well played though, came for some hard rock; stayed for the fusion 😂

[@beneunson]

Haha thank you so much for staying to listen! 😀

[@TivoliTJM]

[@beneunson]

So glad you liked it! Thanks for listening! 😀

[@jackcarrolton12]

Great solo and tone. You could play on some Phil Collins and give Daryl Stuermer a run for his money in 1985... 😂

[@beneunson]

Haha that's very kind. Love Daryl's playing

[@LozBlain]

Channeling Frank Gambale?

[@beneunson]

Now you mention it, I could hear a bit of Frank in there 😀 Thanks for listening!

[@shawn.m.schmidt]

Sorry no insult intended. But I am not sure you know what shredding is.

[@beneunson]

You might be taking the title a little too seriously! But thanks for watching! 😛

[@cankutbayhan]

yeaah there comes the intended meaning issue, that thing up above is more of an indented one, so to define rather generally, and instead getting into its specifics keeping on shredding is rather viable for the most part of a lifespan...no offense neither :D

[@cankutbayhan]

@@beneunson Ben there was a video you were "improvising" with an LP, a small stage like some velvet curtain, taken from your right hand side...it was epic period...Yens Larsen made me notice that things on real life situations go crazy obviously...as it did with yours as well. it was truly extraordinary on any criteria, a sunburst Gibson it was!!!
