[@michelexler4977]

its amazing that you can hear the pick s attack, i love guitar with that can of strength

[@NickyByloo]

Love it. I watched Crossroads in 1990 for the first time and to this day is one of my all time favourite movies.

[@Ritchie2324]

How can you not like this guy. Honest with insane skill. Bring on more shred sir ❤🙌🤟

[@AncientEvil80]

Beast. So refreshing to see a guitarist so abrasive, physical and fresh and who finally doesn't fall into the "Tim Henson" boring polished crap category.

[@Vestu]

Partly because he's not of that Tim Henson generation

[@ogoodall]

There's room for everyone friend.

[@RaptureReady2025]

Yeah it’s damn good!

[@erikmclennan3934]

Rick Graham, presumably this guy's good buddy, did a song with Polyphia called Envision, you should check it out, or Impassion, if you wanna get this side of Polyphia.

[@DeadGlassEyes]

I am so sick of that lifeless shit.

[@jakesquarejeans]

Bro right out of the gate your getting so much recognition it’s unbelievable love your playing but holy crap dude take advantage of this moment and keep posting more content dude your channel is gonna absolutely blow up!!!!

[@LucasCriminalLove]

That's a lot of energy, you can hear the guitar scream!!! Beast mode

[@dangerousness21]

Love the commentary. Playing is just as exceptional!! I especially love the live sound - although at some point I would love to hear the studio version too. Pure awesomeness!!!

[@Pattbonn47]

Satch at the end. Amazing man. Stop being so effortless. You make me wanna give up the axe!!

[@alfredvoncervera6594]

In that moment, Jack Butler decided to start playing bass. Love yor playing!

[@thierryvidal63]

Sid Vicious style, and never, never, ever, deviate from it😂😂😂..

[@alessandrolabasi6167]

Very good! U play the way u gotta play, no justification needed man Your awesome

[@juusoturkki]

You have a new fan here! Great playing, simply amazing!

[@leemason666]

Well played buddy. Loved the Satch Boogie part thrown in for good measure. Subscribed to your channel. Keep on rocking 🤘🏻

[@rudiyantohalim736]

We are about the same generation. But back then, I can only learn by rewinding my cassete again and again, no VHS like you have mate

[@patrickmckay6621]

like yout raw n intensiv playing! Greeting from Germany!

[@wyldechild7122]

I read/heard about Eugene’s trick bag back in the day on early music forums and went on a hunt for the VHS. I can’t tell you how many places tried to rent/sell me the Britney Spears movie. Had to take a special trip to a large media store at a mall and have them special order it for me, then another trip back to the store when it came in. The good old days! Awesome playing man.

[@danteonkhu1669]

I'm so grateful Rick brought me here, your playing is awesome! Will you make any lessons video in the future?

[@JokisenTontsa]

Came here from Rick Graham's channel.. Love that oneness with the instrument. You love to play, we love to hear it, stop that self doubt :D

[@pap1140]

Well I think it’s rather he’s just warming up I bet you his chops will be much cleaner soon, also his speed is just unbelievable lol.

[@JokisenTontsa]

@@pap1140 I mean he already plays so well and his chops are on point. No need to doubt himself when he already plays better than 99% of the guitarists out there.

[@pap1140]

@@JokisenTontsa ofcourse but with his speed he just needs to clean up a little bit to be one of the best players of all time.

[@riddarhyttan]

Speaking as someone who has knackered a lot of tape way back when, that was a great interpretation.

[@seanmiller7889]

Vai and Satch! I look forward to see more from you!

[@NBADVEnduro]

Followed from Ricks channel.. Rock on bro.. Can wait to here your collaborations.

[@kevinb.3244]

Sick AF, keep 'em coming dude this is straight fire 🔥

[@Nick-72]

Man You're Fockìng Amazing on Guitar...What The Bloody Hell😈🤟🤟🤟

[@Messmer_the_Impaler]

man give the guitar a chance to breathe you're killing it!!! great shit bro.

[@00_MyBestAdvice_00]

So true. It was so much harder learning guitar in the 80s and 90s. Phenomenal shredders but little information on how to play like them. The secret must be the CC DeVille coke-induced fret hand death grip! Squeeze that neck for more speed right! So many of us developed lifelong bad habits or plateaud for a decade unless we could afford and stumbled across a great guitar teacher. Then YT changed everything..

[@fkahs]

on top of that face melting shred... a tasteful vibrato... this is absolute fire OMG

[@Ivan-tw4cz]

A video regarding your influences in terms of technique (especially in regards to picking) would be really cool

[@ubatooba8467]

He said in other videos that Nuno was his main influence.

[@cervinho2189]

0:52 YOOOO THAT’S A NEW PICKING TECHNIQUE FOR SURE

[@LIKEFUNK]

Word has it the guitar had to immediately go into therapy afterwards

[@RaptureReady2025]

That’s right… back in the day with no KZbin… how were we supposed to figure out what was new innovation?? Awesome job bro !

[@DoveSimon]

Really enjoying the content. Got here from Rick's channel, but I'm stickin' around.

[@qwargy]

Insane. That's all.

[@derricksullivan4958]

Very nice picking. I used to be able to play all of this back in my mid 20's but I never learned the intimidation riff. The Intimidation Riff is a great one. I had learned Buttler's Bag and Eugene's Trickbag about 20 bpm above speed but this is even faster. Very nice. It is okay if it is faster than the original tune. This just shows that you have the ability to do that. Either way very awesome. Well done friend!

[@MrC12424]

did you have the gambale vhs on sweep picking? :)

[@Nedwin]

You are awesome man!! Subscribed! ❤

[@alwilliams1997]

Hey Ben, could you cover some music from the Late Great Shawn Lane and maybe a technique dive. Cheers

[@capability-snob]

This was wild! Could you do Arkadiy Starodoub's Hybrid Technics?

[@alexdoyleguitar]

Love the pick attack. Obviously it’s your playing but what’s the guitar, pickups, amp etc?? It’s a cool tone and nice not to be direct all the time

[@Sean____.]

Play it how ever you want to

[@bokistotel]

Can you talk on how to develop that pick attack ? Sounds amazing.. makes me want to pick up my guitar

What are your delay settings? It's not overwhelming or getting in the way of your playing. Just sweeting your tone. Which is awesome
