What a great lesson! I love the riffs from intro and in the background, are you planning to share something of it with us? Cheers!

This is great. Can you do the solo from Judas Priest Reckless and break it down, please

Uncle Ben, this exercise has really unlocked something for me in my accuracy! I’ve been doing it every day since you posted it and have for it up to 220 BPM. Thank you!!

Amazing lesson. It helped a lot for the bark at the moon solo. Thanks once again Uncle Ben.
P.s.
An idea for future videos. Metal riffing techniques and tips. Right and left hand mechanics for fast gallops or donwstrokes with string changes and string skipping, muting and many more. Drop the knowledge. \m/

Uncle Ben what kinda ofc pick are you using in this video? Ive kinda gotten myself in a "Pick Crisis" lol
For years i used the John Petrucci Jazz III's {the black ones} and then i swapped to the Dunlop XL jazz III's. After a few years i sapped those for the Dunlop Flows with the grip. Now i cant stand any of them. Ive tried to go back the ogs but i just cant get comfortable with either one of them!!! HELP!!!
Killer video btw !!

I guess my first question is... why aren't you using your pinky?
