Would also like a lesson on your delay and reverb settings for this lesson

2024-05-13 17:28:02 +0000 UTCExcellent delivery and so humble! Love your teaching and playing. I thought Eric Johnson was all fast pentatonic until I watched this. It gave me new respect for home. He should pay you for marketing!

2024-05-07 22:05:44 +0000 UTCThis riff makes most of your stepdad's dance with delight! Three thumbs up for this more better post

2024-05-01 19:37:21 +0000 UTCHi Ben, I really enjoyed this format. Mostly because we can all follow your approach / workflow to ‘learning’ something which we can also try / adopt / modify for ourselves. Thank you. Do another again soon please!

2024-05-01 14:50:42 +0000 UTCWow
Wonker
2024-05-01 05:03:50 +0000 UTCYes, Ben plays it correctly but the tab is wrong. Should be the G there instead of the F#.

2024-05-01 02:07:08 +0000 UTCThis is super fun and helpful! Feel free to do the rest of the song too :)

2024-04-30 04:19:57 +0000 UTCLove the video Uncle Ben. It's reassuring to see that even Shred Lords still struggle sometimes. This one has prompted me to go back and listen to the original G3 album.

2024-04-30 02:07:26 +0000 UTCWhat about the picking for the first notes? :) I hit first two notes with downstroke then start with a upstroke on the 15th fret and pick it all alternate which means the bend on 15th fret B string is also on an upstroke. That way I dont end up in a Snow (Hey Oh) picking pattern. But its still kind of awkward.

2024-04-29 12:17:19 +0000 UTCHey Ben!!! Great video!! Eric is a beast, but you’ve got this!!👍👍 Can you tell me the amp and effects you used for this video? Your tone was pretty damn sweet!! Rock On 🤘🤘
Dave Decker
2024-04-29 05:41:09 +0000 UTCBen, that was soooo good! Would love to see you continue along with this song so we can learn the whole thing. Pretty please??
Paul Davis
2024-04-29 00:49:18 +0000 UTCWould love to see more of these strataversary cold learn vids! Maybe SRV’s version little wing? Jimmy’s Machine Gun or Killing Floor? Songs that are still epic, but maybe not with a million different lesson vids on YT

2024-04-28 19:27:58 +0000 UTCCouldn't agree more, Pete. I had much the same experience
Matt Womack
2024-04-28 18:10:03 +0000 UTCBen, I dream to be a more better guitarer and I’m ashamed to admit that despite watching G3 Live in Denver some twenty years ago, big EJ has not really been on my radar until this year. Holy sh*t d*cks; he is the master. Lonely In The Night is on constant rotation in my house too. What a tune. Cheers from England 🏴
Chris Wright
2024-04-28 11:14:31 +0000 UTCHi Ben, thanks for the lesson. Such a great intro to get into things I normally wouldn't practice. Small thing I noticed on the TABs. Right before the last note you play 3 times 16-14-17-14-17, yet tab says 16-14-16-14-17. That Flat G was throwing me off. Not a big issue after you pay attention to the video. Cheers!
Camilo Arias
2024-04-28 05:10:13 +0000 UTCEric should be ashamed for crafting something so challenging.
Matt Martin
2024-04-28 02:15:28 +0000 UTCI've been working on this song my whole life, it feels, and your video was so helpful. Can you also do the outro lick? lol
Pete Mitchell
2024-04-28 02:03:10 +0000 UTCshowing up for me now! I was on the web. not sure what the deal was
Christopher Marion
2024-04-27 23:16:05 +0000 UTCIt’s the one song that says the pentatonic minor doesn’t have to be blues. He’s a wizard. And I’m glad you chose him.
Randy Craig
2024-04-27 22:20:36 +0000 UTCDo you have a preset for the FM3?
Ben
2024-04-27 21:09:29 +0000 UTCFor me some of the spread triads in the middle section are a lot easier if I use the G string instead of the D string for the root note.

2024-04-27 20:40:08 +0000 UTCGreat lesson and as always hilariously entertaining 🤩
Thom Marz
2024-04-27 20:16:49 +0000 UTCWoah! Phenomenal days work. I shall begin my EJ journey.

2024-04-27 20:16:26 +0000 UTCOLAF, METAL!
Ben Eller
2024-04-27 19:53:27 +0000 UTCso glad to hear that!
Ben Eller
2024-04-27 19:53:21 +0000 UTCi'm so glad to hear that! like i said in the video, this just was NOT possible when i wasn't aware of his technique set.
Ben Eller
2024-04-27 19:53:10 +0000 UTCBERSERKER ! YEAH 🤟🤟
JP
2024-04-27 19:12:56 +0000 UTCI'm glad you chose this over my Pink Floyd suggestion. I think most of the Floyd stuff is relatively easy to learn. Seeing you work through this was incerdibly informative. I love seeing how you work on some of the parts. In some cases it validates my own attempts and in others gives me new ideas. Thanks!
Todd Nichols
2024-04-27 18:59:15 +0000 UTCI hate those bendies....I dont know how he gets that specific phrasing so fluidly...but, that's why he's EJ and I'm living in your mom's basement I will say though: I learned this song from an "official" tab book way back when and it literally wasn't until this morning that I finally understood how he econ picks this stuff. your deconstruction and explanation makes a WORLD of difference. Thank you!!

2024-04-27 17:58:58 +0000 UTCdont see the tab? the outrage
Shawn T
2024-04-27 17:44:29 +0000 UTCAlways wanted to learn this. You da best Mr Dover, Ben.
Gregg Burns
2024-04-27 17:39:36 +0000 UTCI was driving across rural northern Idaho for work one time and I was pacing a Train next to the road, and someone had wiped onto the fuel tank "Men's Asses"... Glad to hear someone else say it!

MoSt BlEsSeD. tim
2024-04-27 16:49:01 +0000 UTCYeah, I learned it and played it on my channel and it took me forever to get it down and never sounded like him
Neil Goldberg
2024-04-27 16:42:32 +0000 UTCI haven't given up on many songs over the years, but this is one of them. Mostly because that first 1.5 step bend will make your ring finger feel like you've been playing a cheese grater with strings after a few billion attempts.
Festermooth
2024-04-27 16:37:01 +0000 UTCOh, and I totally neglected to vote for the Strat song... would still love to see Little Wing and Comfortably Numb.
Paul Webendorfer
2024-04-27 16:29:34 +0000 UTCLol, the 'Ben Dover' patch! Not sure I'm comfortable downloading this one. :)
Paul Webendorfer
2024-04-27 16:28:03 +0000 UTCYeah, I'll have to file this one under the "I wish, but not gonna happen..." category! At least I recently got myself an Axe3, so I guess I could download the preset and play around with some nice tonez ;) Maybe take a stab at that very first lick...
Kasper Beuse Fauerby
2024-04-27 16:24:27 +0000 UTCThanks so much Ben! I've been off my game for a bit and this is exactly what I needed to bring me back. Much appreciated!
brenda borgosano
2024-04-27 16:18:55 +0000 UTCHell yeah. The intro is a masterpiece, I've taken many swings at it over the years. Maybe this will be my hour
