There's a reason all are compared to Ying Yang Milkshake. His staccato brings all the boys to the yard.
Fantastic! I can feel my chops improving already, and I haven't even picked up my guitar yet!
...and have no intentions on doing so, but damn he's good.
0:54 "F**K yeah I just nailed that!"
Man even though we’ve never met, every time I watch one of your videos I feel like I’m visiting an old friend. My gortar thanks you from the bottom of it’s heart!
Yea I agree he like an old friend
Holy cow you’re right. ☯️ 🥛 DOES wear the Seinfeld puffy shirt 🤯
UNCLE BEN...makes me feel so good!
Absolutely LOVE and NEED stuff like this in my life. Thanks Uncle Ben!
right, uncle ben always brings greatness.
what a good lesson Ben! thank you. it was very helpful that you shared the chord progression before diving into the lick, it helped understanding what's underneath of these triplets. This is great stuff, hoping you'll do more of these again.
Appreciate ya brother Ben . This is the kinda stuff I need to work on to improve my lead playing.
Thankyou sir! As a beginner guitarist , these excercises are fun to practice!
Really dig that metronome trick. I have a really hard time with practicing with a metronome, but know that I need to do it in order to get better timing. Much appreciated!
I love when you post neoclassical stuff. Thank you!
I’ll be implementing this as of today when I get home! Thanks Unk
Thanks Uncle Ben. You're my favorite teacher, always excellent videos. I've followed your teachings and video learnings since hearing the Blood Mountain album. Lots of Mastodon, VH and little tricks learned from you. The recent video on anchoring your thumb for quick changes in a small area was simple but blew my mind (20 years playing and never noticed that!) Great explaining and clean/fun playing. You're the best teacher I've found (top 15 for sure! lol), and your patreon page is worth it as well. Support good music!
i'm so happy you found my channel! Cheers!
I got cramps in my left hand after first 50sec intro just by watching Ben. Looks so easy but it isn't.
I feel very cheery all of a sudden. Like this could be from any number of “metal” Christmas songs.
Joe Stump is one of the best for sure
Now I know what I have to do tomorrow! I’ll let my brain work on the lesson while sleeping first. 😅
Excellent stuff Ben
whats up Uncle Ben? Another great guitar lesson! its a bit challenging for me, but im following along and best part is that you show and explain the excercise slow so everybody understands whats going on... keep doing this stuff!
Sounds crispy and very halloween video game boss fighty
Gold! Pure gold ✨️
Up down, repeat as needed.
Both hands please follow along.
My pinky still curses your name daily uncle Ben
Uli ‘s stuff is so fun to attempt!
Can't thank you enough for providing so many different kinds of exercises. You've helped me in life more than my actual uncle at this point.
Definitely going to be adding this one to my practice sessions! Nice :)
Hi Ben, nice etude!. I lift my 1st finger for this kind of thing, for exactly the reasons you mention, cheers!
Awesome! Love the learnin while being musical approach.
You are a damn Christmas miracle! Thanks Uncle Ben.
Perfect timing on this WWS as I've been working on increasing my speed and stretch ability of my left hand. Now to get some leather pants and a pirate shirt...
Also more than a passing vibe of some Alter Bridge! Love it 👌
Just signed up to your Patreon dude, thanks heaps for these lessons and g’day from Australia 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks for this one Ben! Looking forward to a return to Sails of Charon - still yet to master that one and would love to hear your insight on the second half of that solo.
That's awesome brother
Great video. I love the notion of action matching action in both hands until tempo is too high. Trying to create the brain muscle/action synch and ingraining equal ability in both hands.
I love Ingysteen Malmateen !
Yo maan !!! regards from Poland
great as always . it feels like you know what I need without even me knowing :D thanks uncle Ben !
Love being a Patreon member!
Excellent advice. thanks
Awesome amazing incredible thanks sir
Love this. Thanks for the free lesson
Effortless picking hand motion. Pretty sweet. YingYang go brrrrrrrrr.
Keeping the first finger down at all times has helped me a lot to minimize unwanted noise, thats in my case anyways. Great stuff as always uncle Ben
In response to this video, Yngwie says, "How is less more?" "More is more!"
Thanks Uncle Ben !
Thanks for the sticky-picking tip and the relaxation tips.
I can't wait to get this down.
More of this please, I'm a big fan of Joe Stump and I absolutely love this style 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Joe stump is a beast since after his old stuff he was more of not serious but now in Alcatrazz he is great ..Fire of 1666
sweet lesson.🎸
Great lesson Ben. I will Especially benefit from the relaxation technique. Guilty. Thanks Ben

I swear i've watched the video just to hear you say Ying-Yang Milk-Shake!! 😂
Great video Ben! Can't wait to try this out so i can sound more like YingYang Morganstein!
I couldn't do this if it were at great, great, great grandpa speed. I'm always amazed at your playing Uncle Ben.
Hadn’t seen Uncle Ben in my feed. Glad he’s still at it w a shred lesson! Had to look you up, U.B.
So weird! Glad you’re back!
Secondary dominants are our friends!
Love it at stepdad as well; sounds like a Hungarian Rhapsody……just need a hurdy gurdy in there! 😆
Great video; thanks!
Uli Yes! I had tickets to see U.J.R. in Tampa, then the flu hit just a month before. I doubt I'll have a chance to see Him again.
Thx dude, been practicing it for 30 mins since last week already gain about 20-30 bpm on some other alternate patterns
Great stuff, Ben! I´m a big fan of Blackmore.
Nice clean playing and very concise instruction. Yngwie Milkshake Lol I met him down here in South Florida at a vintage guitar shop and he was in his stage clothes. He was nice enough to me.
It seems like he only wears stage clothes, but why not, he's Yngwie!
Uncle Ben has invoked Ron Popiel. Hallowed be thy name.
Cool as hell!
Sweet shirt! I've loved Halloween III since I was a wee lad in the 90s.
Thnx Uncle B!
Thanks to you, I am a better practitioner now. Thank you sir.
That is a finger pretzeler for sure, Man. Impressive tempo you have there.👍
Great vid tìo Ben! My personal favorite neo classical player is Michael Romeo
I've played some stuff like this before, but I'm definitely going to snag the backing track for it and see how well I can crank this out at higher BPMs. If I'm being totally honest with myself, my hand synchronicity can use some work from time to time.
For the record, I've also really been enjoying your drone tracks as a cool way to warmup with some improv, which is also helping me learn the neck a bit better at the same time. That's a helluva lot of value for such a low price on your Patreon, so thanks for creating those!
As for the lift/latch point, I think I do it the same as you where I only latch at higher speeds. I'd have to sit down and analyze it to say for sure, but I'm fairly sure that's what I do as well.
Thanks Ben, I love neoclassical. Can you make a video of how to make a neoclassical song please
What's up Doc!
I can't really think of someone except for maybe the guitarists of King Diamond, Dragonforce, Dream Theater {Maybe} etc.
However, my favorite "Piece" on the other hand is Ralph's devil beating performance in crossroads. If you haven't seen it check it. You'll like it.
I know it's not what you asked for. So,
Later Bro
Killer dude!!!
Cool exercise! I'll have to see what I can do to test it out and get it up to tempo.
Also: I'd really want to try the exercise flipping some of the E minor to A minor transitions to E minor to E7 to A minor. That sort of secondary dominant transition (or at least going from E to A min to imply it) is such a cool flavor especially for a more neoclassical-style etude like this. Could probably just flip some of the Gs to G#s to get the effect too.
Holy shxx. That was great!
Hey Ben,
What tempo did you start at to get this up to 100bpm?
Great one! Makes me sound sophisticated! :-P
Like it a lot
Another banger
I like that!
Love the shirt, it's almost time kids.
Yingyang Milkshake nods his approval
Shred and you must make something together!!!
Great lesson! I need to know where you got the T-Shirt. Please & thank you.
Reminds me of Sinergy’s ‘I Spit on Your Grave’
Alexi Laiho is my favorite neoclassical shredder (probably obvious) with the early Bodom and Sinergy stuff. He was of course also influenced by Mr Milkshake himself.
TMNT/NES game music spotted at the beginning 💪
Yes, love it! Great details as always. Time to set the metronome at stepdad speed and progress towards the Yingyang Milkshake level (Blackmore will do:))
Glad to see Bad Cat getting some love, they make some killer stuff. The Lynx especially, all the Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson stuff has that all over it and it's sick
That actually sounds pretty cool at stepdad speed … I like it!!
yingyang will approve with donuts
ying yang milkshake ... made my day 😂
Ying Yang Milkshake! 🤣 Hadn't heard that one before. 😂 It might be my new favorite!
Yankweenie Palmstain has been my favorite since the 80's. :-D
The first half of this progression is also the Russian song "Black Eyes" - очи чёрные
Great lesson Ben. I feel like YingYang Milkshake already!
My milkshake brings all the triads to the yard
This doesn't really correlate to this video specifically, but I'm putting it here anyway. When I was in my early teens I picked up playing guitar, had a couple acoustics and played church music because that's all I was allowed to listen to, and I'd sneak in a lot of country. But I would play for hours every day. it's all I wanted to do. After moving out I got into electric guitar and watched a lot of your videos and other people like Marty Schwartz and stuff like that. I started to slowly taper off playing until I almost never played, going months sometimes without picking a guitar up, and then it would really get to me and I'd start to play but because I hadn't been playing I'd lost my edge, and that was depressing so I'd put it down and leave it at that. But for the last couple of years, I have really fallen in love with the guitar again. I don't know a lot of like music theory or actual proper techniques and stuff like that, but I do have over a decade of experience playing guitar and I am learning new things all the time and applying it to my noodling. All of that really is to say thanks for everything you do, and watching your videos is always inspiring to me to learn new things or refine my playing in general.
Happy to be a part of your journey, dude!
Dude u just have to be open to other music being even contemporary jazz Mezzoforte Scott Henderson Spyro Gyra
Jeff Lorber ,im.a metal head btw but i grew up with 70s folk but ..
I learn yngwie megadeth n lotsa shrapnel concept .u country then hear Jeff Watson n Steve Morse u b amazed dude
@@ShpookyMetal I play a lot of metal and punk/grunge these days. I'd say that at this point I have really taken all of the styles I know and mixed it into what my sound is. a grunge base with country and metal influences, and then punk that up.
Wing wank milkshake evil eye. The right way to play it!
Always hated malmsteen because of unclear notes... Michael Angelo Batio is the man for his clarity of notes... As he uses alternate picking... And you are playing superb🤘
Loved the ninja turtles nes music redone on the end. Nice!
any chance you can do a review of that Suhr digital interface that sit on that speaker in this video?
Another knockout lesson!
Are you also using an harmony pedal ? Trying to replicate this amazing sounds :) Thanks, love neoclassical and it's pretty easy and simple to play !
You sick man 😅
Gad now I know I really really suck at guitar but is fun to listen to your puns and wisecracks btw hows your stepfather and mother
As a stepdad. I love these videos.
