Just a big fan of Madonna here

[@gfgranja]

80's pop have so many great guitar parts.

[@malthus101]

yes, really technical and complex, unlike 99.99% of pop shit today.

[@AndyLGR]

Fantastic. Growing up in the 80s I’m a big fan of Madonna’s output in that era, arguably this is her best ballad.

[@dgcmusi]

The Producer of this album is one of the very best in the business….great articulated parts Ben….you and I really have the same taste in music…

[@psychopoison]

How someone can dislike any video of this guy, he nails everything he covers, tone, playing, etc just epic

[@pewterngold]

I know right?! His playing and videos are 100% on point. Incredible talent.

[@EphemeralProductions]

indeed he does. To me he is THE best guitar cover artist on YT.

[@juancarloscouture1518]

I gruw up with Madonna with my sister... bravo !!!

[@albertomaieli]

Sincere Congratulations @bwm5150 and happy Birthday, today, to the only one Queen of Pop @Madonna 🎉❤

[@ACCH-cm9ou]

nowadays songs are played way too basic or too complicated ...back in the 80s,starting from the new wave,to new romantic ,to pop ,musicians really showed how it s like ,to try different things on a guitar than only chords,arpeggio and solos...the edge is emblematic on this

[@sharpsconsultancy2342]

I found this rendition both beautiful and emotional. Thank you

[@bwm5150]

You're very welcome!

[@jsplinc2000]

@@bwm5150 Didnt know that this is also Madonna's

[@bwm5150]

@@jsplinc2000 not sure what you mean?

[@danielrodriguez8943]

This is just Madonna's, well.. Patrick leonard composición for Madonna to record and perform

[@Sonny_AA]

I love your tone here. I used to get made fun of for dialing in that "80's" tone when jamming with friends but I am a sucker for it. Clear, chorused, not too ice picky, just right. Thank you for the excellent cover!

[@vaughanband]

My favourite Madonna song. Nicely played

[@drkevindrush2112]

Next time I hear this song on the radio without your guitar accents I will be disappointed. HUGE improvement to the song, very well done!!

[@bwm5150]

Very kind Kevin, thanks!

[@pewterngold]

Wow…that was great playing. I’ve always like this song by Madonna but never paid to close attention to the guitar track. You really brought it out in this video. Awesome job 🤘

[@JIHillestad]

Great job adding some "schmoo" to this aazing tune.

[@nathansmith6365]

I love this one.....thanks for educating me onnit.

[@nathansmith6365]

And for helping me identify the guitar player or players for this tune. You're a great guitar player...the songs you play are songs I grew up listening to. I really enjoy your playing

[@aprilmitchell9012]

I'm running out of compliments to give you. I love that you take the classics and keep true to the original sound. You've got mad skills!

[@Chino196]

Same!

[@tommykeyfer2804]

Beautiful guitar for a great song from Madonna Live To Tell.... lots of applause for you Ben!!!

[@antoniodigiorgio187]

Grazie della tua versione: ispirante !

[@andiAOR]

Patrick Leonard! Favorite Madonna song, great riffs and licks!

[@Havanacuba1985]

Fantastic as always Ben

[@Lync1111]

I can't help but come back 2 this guitar performance. Its as if the guitar player is performing in concert. Guitar players color the song in such beautiful ways. In his voicing, the way he's playing 2 plus this amazing memory 4 millions that adored this song many years ago and still connected 2 it's delivery. Thank You ((The Guitarist))

[@bwm5150]

I’m very overwhelmed to receive such praise, thank you!

[@BubblegumCrash332]

80s Madonna was great

[@ferrreira]

The album this song comes from is one of the very best pop albums ever.

[@rockindadpodcast]

Not a huge fan of Madonna, but I have to say you did some amazing playing on this and really nailed it! Great Job!

[@m.hstudioproductions6642]

Believe me, I only go for classic Madonna only!🤟😎👩‍🎤🧑‍🎤🎸🎹🎶🎵📼📺🌇🌴🌈☮️✨💖💖💖💖💖🥰

[@kellysmith1144]

This is gold! I love this song already and your work adds even more depth. Stellar playing!

[@bwm5150]

Very kind Kelly, thanks!

[@rodmcdonough6111]

Very nice! You picked one of the most underated, but coolest background Strat-based guitar parts. Cheers!

[@bwm5150]

Ah thank you!

[@TrebleForTheBass]

That eight bar solo was absolutely perfect

[@jamesgavigan1728]

Stunningly beautiful

[@mangeshdeshmukh7633]

superb !

[@MrCarl5150]

Another awesome soundtrack tune...this fit well in At Close range.. good 80s flick. Moody song that you smashed once again...nice work 👍🤘🍻

[@jasonranalliheadshots6875]

I came here for the Def Leppard and now I'm hooked on this. As a child of the 80s you really made this faithful to the spirit of the song. Clean without being like an ice-pick and very nuanced playing that is 100% in line with the dynamics of the song. If I was going to hear this song live this is how I would want it to sound.

[@bwm5150]

Very kind Jason, thanks! I get most joy with these covers 😁

[@VideoVault2024]

Very nice video! I never paid attention to the guitar line on this song, really good.

[@TrebleForTheBass]

God man I love this and what you’ve done…..I’ve always loved her 80s/early 90s stuff but your tone and playing (yes very Landau) are just sublime ….the tone is very Richard Marx era sounding to me

[@SteveBremner-n4y]

I love this faithful overlay to the original guitar track

[@GeoffSweet]

Top- notch brother. Great stuff as always.

[@korf79]

great as always, your music feel is incredible

[@Turboy65]

This is one of my favorite Madonna songs. I'm a hard rock/metal guy but I like some variety and this song has always been very relaxing for me. Nice to hear it with some tasteful guitar added to it!

[@JamieLynnMorris]

One of my favorites by Madonna, and you've made it a real pleasure to hear and see. Thanks Ben! 🌷🎸🎶🌷🎸🎶🌷🎸🎶🌷🎸🎶

[@grungebox]

great song/ one of my faves. Funny but two weeks ago I totally got into this song and learned on keyboards because I wanna play it in my band. I play guitar but I love the synthesizer this song. It’s the bomb.

[@hft45]

Extraordinaire ! 😮

[@777themusic]

Fantastic , no words !

[@slavetrade3315]

godspeed

[@knglerxst]

We have such similar taste in music. Love this song. I was just listening to it the other day.

[@foxylady3670]

Stunnig! More Madonna please!

[@bartoni79]

This is great! Some of the tones remind me of Martikas Toy Soldiers

[@bwm5150]

Thanks! I covered that track a couple of years ago.

[@Lync1111]

Nice addition to the amazing song. Very nice improv!!

[@andrewcrossman2165]

So clean and beautiful, I'm going to try to pick up one of those Boss pedals

[@alexZZGuitar6447]

Amazing guitar parts :)

[@mysteriousgamer]

Great song choice. Superbly played.

[@thelmalynch7109]

🤩 wow Ben that was amazing 🎸🎧 cheers🍻 your journey fan always. 🎶🎶🎶

[@MrSatanislav]

I like only 80s period of Madonna's career so this is really a good song and great cover!

[@DionisoBaco.]

Don’t you even like “Ray of Light” era?

[@EphemeralProductions]

me too. It was before she went all nutter, and risque (as an understatement word. LOL)

[@mikes4109]

Great job dude! I’ve just gone down a rabbit hole of a bunch of your guitar vids. All incredible. Thanks for sharing.

[@r.h.0101]

Haunting. Great job 👏🏻

[@zefolantar]

Your adaptation of this classic for guitar is truly phenomenal! I was mesmerized by your improvisational techniques on this one. Very tasteful and haunting at the same time! I truly enjoyed this! Bravo 👏 ❤

[@bwm5150]

Thank you very much! Pleased to hear!

[@Lee-rb9zb]

bro you're amazing bringing this kind of song to life again! hope to see more!

This has some of the best guitar work you've ever recorded. Awesome work!

Awesome !!!!!! My favorite Madonna song !!!!!!! Thanks, Ben !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gibinha102]

Grande percepção.Parabéns !

[@mikerogers8580]

I've seen a lot of your covers and you do an outstanding job on all of the ones I've seen. This cover though is amazing because it let's you hear the guitar and just how well it makes this song one of Madonna best Balled Songs. Because of your great guitar work I can hear the awesome impact it makes on this song. Great Cover Man!!!

[@bwm5150]

Very kind Mike, thanks! I’m very proud of this one. I like doing some of these odd songs to bring out the guitar work more.

[@lukasliakris2817]

Love this, great cover Ben, I love the solos that you added in as well, very creative and they spiced the song up more and made it sound better, sometimes I just listen to this without watching your hands to see what your doing or how your playing notes as I love hearing the guitar sound out more with this classic

[@uruboarder]

🤯🤯 incredible man!!

[@oscarjonas5507]

Brilliant playing and tasteful! Tone is absolutely stellar! Reminds a lot of a Swedish artist called John Holm and his song "Hon Säger Le Mot Mig".

[@bwm5150]

Thanks Oscar!

[@sarge9733]

Loved every second. Very moving, just masterful! You're one very talented man.

[@DepotGiant03]

[@barnpicks8884]

Well done! Love this particular Madonna song. Your Jackson guitar sings beautiful

[@HollowBeers]

Masterful taste.

[@ExplosionDestroyer]

Once again you totally nailed the huff/landau clean tone on this song. I’ve always loved this song but I think I love your version more since it features more of that lush clean tone that I’m addicted to. And I also love the short solo you added to the song. Very tasteful and melodic to my ears. Another 10/10 in my book.

[@kallehakkanen2189]

The best Madonna song, and a great rendition of it! Good job and do keep it up!

Amazing as always Ben!! Please do a cover of Flesh for fantasy by Billy Idol at some point!

Great work 🙏👌😎

[@daviddavies3637]

When I got my first hi-fi with CD Player (A Philips - still remember going to a local electrical store, seeing another identical model minus the CD player that I was going to buy and then noticed that the CD version was only about £50 more) in 1987, it was a few months before I got any CDs. So I got my mum to go and pick one up for me. Can't remember what my first choice was but she couldn't find it so I got Madonna True Blue instead. Despite not being a fan, I did give it a good play. Think CD #2 was U2 Joshua Tree. #3 was probably Hysteria. #4 may have been Vixen's Rev It Up. Good memories.

Along with papa don't preach your converting me Ben...never thought I'd see the day haha
