80s Hard Rock Jam Track - Call and Response guitar jam. Trade Licks with me. Ratt, Dokken, Motley Crue, Poison, White Lion inspired rock / metal backing track
Follow me on Spotify: spoti.fi/3ws65LB
80's classic hard rock solos and 80's hair metal guitar solos are probably the best examples of melody and flash technique both together!
You have the speed picking, string bending, vibrato, catchy melodies, legato, arpeggios.... you have it all
If you want to play guitar solos like this from Dokken, Ratt, Whitesnake, Motley Crue, Warrant, White Lion, Winger, Bon Jovi etc then you need to have the right techniques.

I'm trying to figure out why you don't have over a million subscribers.

[@robertolsen9721]

Great! That will be my Friday night joy.

[@Ogrelord5150]

Awesome video, and best quote ever! 9:08. Trust me, I try :)

[@robertoverbeek9193]

Absolutely awesome!!! This helps in so many areas for me...it gives me the opportunity to explore ideas with exercises you teach with actual implementation and context., Helps with my timing in on things, but for myself the most important thing it helps is getting my creative juices flowing by building off your part and keeps my attention on what the music I'm playing with is doing instead of mindless long licks that don't represent the actual music being played.....I call that focus...Thank you VERY MUCH!!!

[@BenHigginsOfficial]

Awesome, glad you're getting a lot out of it Robert! Get those #GUITARGAINS!

[@z1g]

That tone and playing instantly makes me think Warren DeMartini and George Lynch. Just love it. Now for some special alone time.

Thanks Just what the doctor ordered !!!

[@goldenorchid833]

hey mr. higgins, I was watched your contents since you're long haired. keep it going, god bless you peace from Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@robertoverbeek9193]

Well Mr. Ben. Your 80s got me lol. After playing over this quite a few times I found my "norm" style of playing sounded good. But did Not line up with your riffs so great....so a bit of exploration into that 80s sound and now I'm off and running lol. I haven't played pentatonic in a long time....and what I'm hearing is alot of that kind of style.....once again thank you!!!

[@anthonyjohnson4734]

Wow what a great idea bro. I’ll give this a spin in the morning for sure. I got a Charvel Satchel slime green with tiger stripes that I will use. When you are soloing I’m gonna hop over and play the rhythm. Absolutely brilliant video.

[@BenHigginsOfficial]

Now that is what you call a Super Strat!

[@Jonton5986]

I’m having great fun with this! F**k grime and dub long live the 80’s Thanks Lord Higgy! 🤟

[@damon9201]

Love the track Glad to see you’re still grinding king!

[@terencebearpark4875]

Hi Ben I’m a Complete Guitarist member and came across this video by accident. It’s excellent you need to make the members aware of this material. Put an email out about it. It would be great to see a series of these jam alongs how about one a month? Your courses are excellent 👍

[@BenHigginsOfficial]

Hi Terry, these jams were the inspiration behind Effortless Improv. So we ended up creating these as part of The Complete Guitarist. We do have one of these every month in each new episode that comes out as part of TCG. You can find them in the Effortless Improv section in each episode 🤘🎸🎸

[@terencebearpark4875]

Hi Ben thanks for the reply awesome. I have to admit to not looking much at the membership material yet as I’ve been having so much fun with some of your courses. I started the Legato gym thinking as I already play some Blues and Rock riffs that I’d quickly work through the course and move on. Wow! How wrong I was. I couldn’t even complete exercise 1. So I started Badass alternative picking and badass hand synchronisation with the same humbling experience. So at the moment my practice regime starts with your free warm up exercises, Legato gym, alternative picking, hand synchronising and some of the free Iron Maiden rhythm course. I can literally see and feel my guitar playing improve every single time I practice using these courses. Thanks a lot man and keep on Rocking!

[@BenHigginsOfficial]

@@terencebearpark4875 That's awesome to hear, Terry... keep going as you are and you are going to LOVE what's in The Complete Guitarist too!

[@jeffgarrison7056]

I would love the tablature included with this.

[@88deeas]

👍 Awesome

[@z1g]

I jammed with higgins

[@BenHigginsOfficial]

Awesome. Love your tone!

[@um3899]

I recently subscribed, this is so awesome, thanks for this!... what is your tuning on this jam?

[@blakegilliam8223]

Yeah good one thank you Ben. I've just seen this one,I'm going to go home and try it out! I did like your comments near the end about combining legato and alternate picking and going with your strengths. My alt picking has improved dramatically due to your courses and ideas concerning playing, but I'm no Yngwie. (Personally i find his playing one-dimensional, and much prefer, Satch, Vai, and some British dude named Lord Higgy, lol)

[@BenHigginsOfficial]

Enjoy!

[@robertoverbeek9193]

Higgys legato gym is great....helped me a lot. Hard part is sticking to the process and not rushing it...

[@bernardrenooij4028]

Love it! Any chance you'll be making a lesson/course on eighties riffing? I like the Iron Maiden lesson a lot. Songwriting in eighties style would be an awesome tool for me

[@PORRADAinPortugal]
