thanks for all you've shown us ben

[@ericm8333]

Am I allowed to play this if my name isn't Jonas?

[@sommersjagoe6941]

No

[@giulianovescio8763]

How dare you even question this

[@PotatoL001]

Yes, but you must say "my name is Eric" instead of Jonas

[@jcinq11]

I learned this a while ago but it's always nice to go back to it for more practice. I actually find the alternate picking style to be easier for me. Thanks!

[@BenEller]

alternate picking this is a gateway to becoming a beast mode crosspicker!

[@jas132wv]

One of my favorite records as well! Thanks for sharing.

[@MetalRob81]

the Blue Album is killer and so is this intro.

[@Bissrok]

Great video! But fuuuuuuck it's hard to get up to full speed.

[@adventureswithjeff6937]

Great lesson, thanks dude

[@dominikh.8148]

I love the intro to this song so much... And it is pretty tricky to play with a pick at full speed. Next to picking it your way, I also learned to play it with downstrokes only up to full speed just for fun... That is also hard as balls.

[@KaldDodeGitarist]

night and day difference between finger and plectrum. this inspired me to write something using both simultaneously!

[@KaldDodeGitarist]

to clarify, recording a track of each. I'm not a finger wizard lol

[@DelinquentDJ]

Omg Time to go revisit the blue album

[@0v3rgr0wn]

I love The Jonas Brothers. Do The Naked Brothers Band next.

Or Hybrid picking

[@BenEller]

totally!!!

[@lancegould]

I tap the entire song. Just like Sammy Davis Jr. would, ya dig?

[@sorinsoria]

So when you do skype lessons, how do you do them necessarily? do you figure out what skill they have and proceed from there or do you figure out what they know and teach new things? haha sorry! but ive been thinking about it!

[@platinumfetus1]

hey can you do some Necrophagist. Thanks for the great videos.

[@swetahproductions6175]

Nice.

[@jaykeel7309]

Beat teacher alive!

[@462rob]

One of the THOUSAND reasons this is such a great channel is that while Eller often has a unique take on the common (Still of the Night, and all of its interesting little things you never knew) he'll also take something a bit obscure like this one and share it. KICKASS work as always....

[@safaktahatufekci]

hey ben, can you teach us some chris poland? or paul masvidal?

[@aidanscovers]

oh shit I got an add before the video look at you go ben

[@joshcbrown97]

cool but how do you play the intro of Buried Monuments by Job for a Cowboy off their latest album?

[@Mattskito529]

you're awesome

[@rorygrignard9742]

Hey uncle Ben, mind sharing what strings you use on your grandpa guitar?

[@JandJandJandJandJ]

Biological Stepdad Eller, I realized I'm basically awful at pull offs and I'm pretty sure I've been playing them fundamentally wrong ever since I started playing guitar. I can get simple ones down like a basic fret five to fret seven pull, but things like triplets and chromatic pulls are impossible for me. Please help quickly, I tried to play the bridgey part to "A Song For The Deaf" and my neighbor scalped himself. Love, you're not my real dad but you're good at guitar so I accept you

[@austinbramer558]

Hey don't go around saying they're all 1/2 step down, no one else is standard tuning

[@1981SG]

Maybe a weird question Ben, but do you have something under your right foot to have your guitar a bit higher? I have trouble finding a good posture playing guitar (a Les Paul) whilst sitting. When I sit with my guitar i'm forward bend and get back and neckpain. I was adviced to use a foot stool but apparently this causes backpain on longterm too? Thanks alot for the help!

[@guitarhero01234]

Personally, I usually play guitar in the classical position, but on the odd occasion that I don't, I always just cross my right leg over my left leg and elevate my guitar that way

[@1981SG]

i tried crossing my legs but then i have less grip on my guitar. Also my right calves start to hurt then. I quess i'm a freak of nature then? :)

[@dogbiscuit1649]

I love your roasting of step dads, nice one mate :-)

[@wardkdouglas]

Uncle Ben, my dad's apparently still trying to find the store to get his cigarettes and my step-dad is being a total step-dad. Will you adopt me?

[@trDewy]

Hey Uncle Ben, just wanted to say a quick thank you! Thanks to your video on why I suck at pinch harmonics, I finally got em down earlier tonight. I had tried many a time before unsuccessfully but you really helped me out! So thanks! :]

[@rheidtech]

👍👍👍

[@wckdtrb]

oh snap... finger pick it... #curseYouRocksmith

[@jaysonc9690]

I actually use a pick to play this lol

[@B3Band]

Do Smells Like Teen Spirit. Think I'm joking? It's probably the most commonly fucked up "cover" on KZbin!
