Hey kids! On episode 212 of Weekend Wankshop, Uncle Ben here is going to be giving you all a primer on all things country pickin': from scale concepts to hybrid picking secrets, all will be revealed! This is a fun lick in the key of A that will show you guys a lot of the concepts you need to make your licks a little more authentic. They're all pretty basic concepts, but they really make a difference! Guys like Brad Paisley, Brent Mason, John 5, Andy Wood, and Johnny Hiland all use these ideas in their playing, so you probably should too.
Playing my Ibanez Talman 1803M into my Kemper Profiler here. Such a cool guitar!
Thanks for watching! What do you want to see on my channel in 2019?!? Let me know in the comments!
This is the last weekend wankshop of the year so happy new year uncle Ben.
Thanks for most awesome channel on TH-cam.
I heard the lick and inmediatly felt the urge of rushing to my pickup truck, go to my house, pick a beer and love my sister..
Thx Uncle Ben
Nice instruction/explanation minor/major
Thank you for sharing Uncle Ben
Great lesson!!!! I'm getting unbelievable mileage from this!!!!! More, I need more!!!!!
Thanks B. Very helpful!! I’m a rock metal guy but always fascinated by the country chicken picking sound.
Dope beginner lesson 🙏🏽😇
Thanks, Ben!
Good way to start the day music in my bones
Thanks for this! I'm always looking to expand my country licks.
Hybrid picking will definitely make you respect the guys who have mastered this technique! Liking country Uncle Ben 😀 Have a Happy New Year brother, going to get over Tenn. way soon to see me some skankbanging!
Your channel is easily my overall favourite. Just keep up the good work in the new year. A dream scenario would be a Testament-oriented thrash rhythm course running a few episodes.
Thanks Uncle Ben!🤘😜🎸🎶
Wow , fantastic!!!
Hey Ben! Cheers from Russia! Thank you for this awesome year of cool shreds, I dig your lessons so much that I actually consider you one of my guitar mentors!
I would love to see more Megadeth stuff - they still have a whole bunch of hot riffs to decode.
Happy New Year!
First country scale I've seen in my whole life.
The actual country scale is the blues scale with a major root. Minor pent add b5/ major pent add b3. Same pattern different root. He was playing the blues scale but added 6 in the beginning. A lot of people look at major and minor as the same. In the same spot it becomes mixolydian. Hope this helps.
I would have given this video a thumbs up IF Brent Hinds played this, but he didn’t. If the best band comprised of the best musicians in the galaxy didn’t play it, then I shouldn’t either. I may go to my grave screaming Spectrelight before you make a video about it, but I’m willing to make that sacrifice. Happy New Year. I wish you were my Uncle.
Love it. Thanks man
Dude. You are such an inspiration. A rocker with insane music theory! 😉
I learned the lick. It would be good to hear it in the context of the beat and music as the rhythm is tricky. The demo at the start comes in right as the lick is being played. Would be nice to have an intro beat.
Since you do a lot of Mastodon lessons (Mastodon is one of my biggest musical inspirations) I would love to see you do a lesson on that hybrid pick country solo Brent does live before they play Aqua Dementia. The best look at it I've got is the live video of Mastodon playing live with Scott Kelly where they play all of the songs he does quest vocals on. Its mind blowing and I have GOT to learn how to play it. It would be so awesome because I have watched your Aqua Dementia lesson and it sounds spot on! PLEEEEEAAASSSE. YOU Mr. Ben Eller have the best Mastodon guitar lessons on the internet.
Thank you Uncle Ben. I have a request!
For you and your family to have a happy, shredtastic, New Year! Thanks to all your wankshops, I've convinced people that I can play guitar!
Thank you for the major 3rd /minor 3rd hillbilly trick
Thank You
specially beautiful that Ibanez "telecaster" !!! Great hybrid picking technique! I'm practicing it but not so easy as it seems when I see you playing! hahahha Like!
Hey Uncle Ben!
I love you vids man! Stay zesty!!!
Ben eller i really appreciate your work but i would love to watch metal improvisation lesson what do you think?
LOL We British knew what u meant Uncle Ben ;)
Hello. I like your teaching style. I have been playing for many years, and write my own stuff as well. what id like to know, is how to write the licks that comprise a solo..what is vexing me is, for instance, when i learn a solo by a great player ie dimebag, randy rhoads, guys that really told a story with their solos.. trying to learn some of these sections is a real bitch and id like to know how they composed them in the first place..do you think you would invent a run or pattern of notes at slow speed, then speed them up to see if they sound cool? or more likely hear something in their head and finger it out on the guitar...what has your experience been,..Ben? Thanks Steve
Hi uncle Ben
im so disappointed we didn't get Davey Stranger this year
James Smith me too man. He was on vocal rest through October, so he couldn’t make it into to studio :(
Sounds like Danny Gatton...🤙😎🤘
whats that cool background music from 0:27?
Slack thanks man! That’s just a background track I made :)
@@BenEller sounds good man Tarantino vibes !
How can I learn those rhythm licks in the A position at 1:29 (music). I think i have slowed it down and watched it 50 times and still can’t get it😂
Legend says if you are early Uncle of all guitar players will notice
Does the lick start on the 1 or the 4? (Asking for a friend...)
Where can I get that backing track to practice?
Paul Lue ya know, I’m starting a patreon soon, and all my backing tracks will be available on there!
Ben Eller cool 😎 I’ll be watching for the Patreon
Ben Eller !!!! Make video about " The tHing that should not be" true album tuning
Lukasz Lukas watch that 5 thing you never noticed in the thing that should not be video I put up a month or two ago.
@@BenEller heheh D standard , thanks.
👍👍👍
Where you from dude?
Roger Clough East Tennessee, my man!
You've been hanging with Andy Wood too much. ;)
Chicken picken, mang.
Can you do why you suck at guitar for powerchord slides??! I’m trying to cover domination but I can’t get past the intro for fucks sake I always fuck at least one slide up
Weekend wankshop but uploaded on a Thursday? 🤔🤔
ps: also sounds like someone's cooking bacon in the background haha
Jerry haha Friday in my time zone! And perhaps I was?!
more chicken picking please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0:07 0:57
nocturnal btw
When you've clicked on a video outside your skill level 😞
Nice! Not a single downvote. Maybe there's hope for the "metal dood" crowd after all. There is actually other GOOD music in the universe besides distorted power chords.
wtf is a Instagram?
Tab!!?? Really? Never look at that crap
