My Birthday Gift to YOU! New Song Preview!!!
Added 2024-06-29 19:52:09 +0000 UTCHey y'all!!!
It's your good buddy Uncle Ben here, reporting to you from my 4th decade (okay technically 5th decade as you all have let me know I WAS HOMESCHOOLED GIVE ME A BREAK)!!! I turned 40 the other day, and I've had myself a very chill weekend (hence the lack of a new lesson today!). I've been relaxing, watching some flicks, walking the dogs with Tante Kate, and working on some music for my upcoming debut solo album. I am so pumped on how these songs are sounding, I had to give you all a little snippet! This is a segment of my song "Fathom", and I hope you all enjoy it.
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes, and for being along for the ride! Let me know if you all want more album previews as I'm fleshing these songs out and I'll get them to you!

Dude. That time signature (what is that, 10/8?) is killer and totally grooves! What a rad blend of styles and moods, too. And yes please - any and all vids re: songwriting, recording process is quite valuable to many of us, I’m sure.

Fred Raimondi
2024-06-29 21:31:18 +0000 UTCHappy Birthday to my favorite YouTuber! You’ve taught me, my brother and several of my friends a ton of techniques, music theory and sick licks. Keep rocking and teaching for 40 more years!
Brian Newman

2024-06-29 20:25:16 +0000 UTCOh, and not to put too fine of a point on it, but when you hit your 40s you actually “enter” your fifth decade…you’ve done four, you start number 5…
