The reason i put the Polyphia hashtags in there is because they are a band that released a cool Nylon String/Metal/video/song the same day as this. They didn't use Nylocasters but it still came out very cool and I would even say SIMILAR in Vibe to this new Flametal song of mine. Good show chaps!

Please let me know what you think in the comments! Thank you for your time. -Ben

[@fortissimoX]

Your technique is amazing! I would like to hear this composition without drums in the background. Personally, I believe it would sound so much better without them.

[@BenjaminWoods]

@@fortissimoX Thank you Bass man. I have hundreds of guitar videos without drums on this channel, but FLAMETAL is kinda my fusion baby, you know? Thanks again.

[@joshhellstorm184]

Amazing man

[@socalsalas2983]

Yo this is so spooky! Great pick for the fusion, also I love your sweep fingerpicking!

[@russianskunk7892]

Its amazing perfecto

[@ericgendell8874]

I have only recently become aware of Ben because I watched another video of Ben playing the "Nylocaster" and was immediately impressed with this great virtuoso. Ben plays beautiful melodic lines, has impeccable technique, his fingerpicking is glorious and his shreds are accents, rather than overwhelming juvenile displays of technical alpha dog dominance. Ben is a fine musician.

[@joeguitar9576]

Those runs 1:30 - 1:40! You're one of my favorite players Ben, thanks!

[@russianskunk7892]

Hi mister Ben. I dont leave you anyway. Thank you for you being. You are great. And thank you for lessons .

[@MiamiOutdoorSolution]

Awesome, would enjoy to see you in concert in Miami, FL. Having your Flametal 2 Ortega guitar shipping to me this week.

This one is lovely! I think could be one of my new favourites of yours. Might have to buy the tab if you have it!

[@Dedeseptul]

Insane! Is there a possibility that you tour Europe with a band and play on metal festivals? You would be a great addition to any such event. Cheers mate :)

[@ryanscott8770]

He started playing guitar at 22 I’m pretty sure so yeah he wasn’t “lucky”

[@mikaelpruttsson1818]

Amazing! 😎

[@digitalchris6681]

Great! I’d like to try some of those runs myself, but can’t figure them - any chance of tabs, even if only for the repeated descending run ?

[@stefanlaemme]

Great Song!🤘👍

[@780monster]

As always I love your playing, Ben, and this is a particularly wonderful arrangement but I hate the programed percussion. To my ear, it gets in the way of my hearing your playing. Also, I have never seen anyone else do your style of hybrid picking. Did you learn it from someone else or did you invent it. If your the originator of using your index finger nail as a plectrum while alternately traditional finger style, then we should name the technique after you; like naming an alternating thumb style - Travis Picking🙂.

[@BenjaminWoods]

1. I have played in Flametal band and for Flamenco percussionists and dancers - with this experience in my ears, these drums are a natural progression, without that experience - I can see where it would be hard to understand. 2. I have been talking about my techniques #alternail and #altzapua for a couple years now, that's what I call em.

[@mehmetkitikiXYZ]

it's beautiful. but I would like to hear otantic drums in it. maybe later, with another mix?

[@salkomujanovic6224]

What do I think? Well I don't think. I sigh.... I hope you are doing well Ben.

[@chrislanesr]

I always wondered what a great flamingo guitarist would sound like on electric. Question ANSWERED! Heard this on the #Metalheadhippie show.

[@insanetubegain]

I hear a little George lynch in there.

[@Factory_Muff]

RIP Ben. I just found out today .

[@pambresdoloksaribu873]

[@kelvinhopes8410]

Any chance of a tab? :D

[@virupandit7327]

You was awesome but , you doing wrong picado , you should play running peace by picado if you are flamenco player,

[@dingdong7440]

Very cool... next time try without the background drums. Only guitar.

[@BenjaminWoods]

Thanks! But then it wouldn't be Flametal would it? I have plenty of Guitar Only stuff, this is fusion.

[@dingdong7440]

@@BenjaminWoods It's just a matter of taste. Sounds amazing nevertheless. Wonderful composition. P.S. plenty of drumless metal around. It would sound just as heavy and metal without them. The song has that dark hunting sound metal needs and plenty of flamenco twists and technique. I love it just the same Ben!. Regards from Spain!.

[@BenjaminWoods]

@@dingdong7440 Thank you very much Ding Dong! I see what you are saying. Maybe you'd prefer this new one I just put out. No metal elements to it at all, and kinda Vicente Amigo vibe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpbPmIFno6qmp7c

[@dingdong7440]

@@BenjaminWoods Saw that one the day you posted it. Love it!. Great job. Keep the hard work going!.

[@navidsaeediafghanguitar]

I got the news today that he is dead 😢 RIP 🪦

[@iliatkachenco7444]

this is not flamenco! you have to play in COMPASS ! compass is necessary

[@BenjaminWoods]

It's a Flamenco Guitar, my signature model actually (sold worldwide). I guess you think you know a lot about Flamenco? Please tell me what Flamenco is, because after 25 years of playing it with cante y baile apparently in your opinion I still dont know. Also, I want to point out you spelled "COMPAS" wrong. I have hundreds of videos here playing Flamenco. Give me a break. You have no idea of what you're talking about, and you have no idea of what I'm doing here.
