Sounds like the full band... but its just Ben solo (·_·)

[@krunoslavstaubringer2022]

ugh, the cringe is strong with this one!

[@WritersMoment]

"Cringe" lol

[@SuperAsdwa]

Your comment doesn't have nearly as many likes as it should.

[@Dekard911]

He needs two hands though as it would be hard to do Han(d) Solo

[@bigemoney31]

"He said he doesn't like you!"

[@hazbutler]

+bigemoney31 "I don't like you either!"

[@MrAmbalampz]

+hazbutler I'll be careful...

For the people who don't play guitar this is like trying to ride a unicycle whilst juggling and branding on a tight rope 1000 ft in the air

[@ewfmatthew]

Griffin Farming with a pulsating cross wind During a typhoon........

[@brunoalves3958]

And for the vast majority of the people who play guitar that just feels exactly the same!

[@LEXICON-DEVIL]

😪 As a guitar teacher I hate having to choose between melodies as one can only play so much. Try playing "One Winged Angel" on guitar without having 4 hands & 2 guitars.

[@hanoiscrambler]

And he didn’t even sit straight to play, just lying there and chilling

[@MarshalDoesStuff]

This guy shot first.

[@atomlib]

“First” is redundant. Han never even left Greedo an opportunity to shoot in the original. He simply fried him and walked away.

[@ICZorach]

Just saying Han shot is ambiguous, without the 'first' you aren't differentiating between versions of the film. and saying 'Han never even left Greedo an opportunity to shoot' is needlessly long when 'Han shot first' conveys all needed information.

[@R3STRIKT3D]

The force is strong with this one..

[@captaingallifrey4274]

R3STRIKT3D you deserve top comment

[@holidaygames]

So rare to see virtuosity serve only the music, rather than just showing off. In the end, it's just fun to hear.

[@DustinFurlow]

Ralph Axel agreed...this dude only cares bout groove and melody :D

[@onlyrick]

Note how he uses the metronome on the off-beat. Masterful.

[@danparish1344]

That’s how most jazz pieces are counted, emphasis is on beats 2 and 4

[@jonisalmanan1441]

yea, it makes it sounds like snare

[@samuraiguitarist]

Dayyyyum

[@WonderPantsiiVI]

Slow Clap! And the knock at 1:02?! Its one thing to chord melody on barn burner like this but to knock triplets while descending a bassline in 4? That's impressive as all hell man!

[@DusanAcimovic]

I played it 5 times just to accept that there is no background music. Very well done!

[@LpDevilork]

A close friend of mine sent me this. When this started i thought :"How can this song have so many likes if it's so easy?" Then 00:18 came and... Damn i just can't stop listening to how perfect this thing is. I guess 0.1% of world's guitarist can come close to this level. Congrats.

[@MikeCGuitar]

This is God guitar playing!

[@CamKnoppMusic]

The bass line is perfectly done. Unbelievable playing.

[@JeffBlazer74]

The chord/melody playing method typically doesn't "trick my ears" as multi-player but because of your syncopation and style... this did. Fantastic.

[@TonyStewartKY]

Beyond Words!

[@cyrilcabansag3004]

You are a legend man, Darth Vader said "The Force is strong with this one!"...

[@MikeCGuitar]

This is simply beautiful! Thank you

[@Smordor_Stormcrow]

Honestly, I have never seen a guitarist better than Ben Lacy!

[@RIPLinkTTV]

This video needs to be more widespread

[@-cosmicrogue-]

Simply wonderful :)

[@Celari]

This should be your go-to-tune for restaurant and bar shows Ben. I'd stay in that restaurant for hours to listen to this on repeat :p Literally the perfect background music. Proven by star wars.

[@mikezait]

Madness. Absolute fucking madness.

[@adamrulesworld]

The picture in the background is a nice touch...

[@DavidePepi]

You are the best Ben!!

[@JerryNixon]

This is a treat.

Wow isn't a worthy description of seeing this guy live! Its like being in a different universe seeing this guy. I go from 😃to 🤔 to 😂every time. Its amazing! 🤘I'll see ya soon brother and I'm already snickering thinking about it.

[@pedrodemello3666]

Bravo. Well done.

[@taliesinmusic]

honestly one of the best out there. So ahead of his time that know one knows him :)

[@andybaldman]

*All of your vids should have twice this many views. You're the most naturally talented guitarist I've ever seen. Bravo.*

[@Yrian2k]

Blown away. This is incredible!! Do you have any exercises for guitarists who are looking to get into slap/travis picking?

[@GummBo3]

[@Cd5ssmffan]

Right click on the video and press loop

[@ProfaneEquinox]

right click on the video, then press loop!

[@ProfaneEquinox]

best thing right now, is right click the video and then click 'loop'

[@אלעדחיבה-ב9ג]

I desperately need a lesson on this.

[@SPMOTO-cb2ex]

Oh GOD.

[@jamesha175]

sounds like a full band... but here the bass is obviously a backing track. that being said; Ben Lacy is outstanding.

[@DaveDurango]

hes playing the bass line

[@jamesha175]

@@DaveDurango i see it now

[@IrvOnly]

Ill buy this tab from you if you have it. Kick ass song and playing man

[@0o0__Toni__0o0]

La cotxeas muy bien

[@dogbertlacroix]

Any chance this guy has put out TABs for this rendition? If so hook it up. I don't want to watch this a million more times in order to get every note. Dude is too good.

[@IanLacy]

We have the same last name, and I wish we were actually related.
