Look at that face! THAT, is a face of a happy camper :D. A one happy camper during a hard and heavy guitar season. A Guitar, an AMP, a Cab, an occasional pedal and a load of kickass fuckin riffs!
Great job. 80s metal had a feel to it, and a creativity, that has never been matched or even approached since. It was the Golden Age of electric guitar.
hi Ben. great exercise. suggestion: can you do a video on how to clean up noises with the right hand? I can tell you I always struggle with this, especially with high gain. Perhaps you can do a video, show few techniques, few exercises etc ? I'm not only talking about palm muting but just in general to clean all these noises with better control of the right hand. Thanks.
Hells yeah Unca Ben! Fantastic Eighties riffage. 🤘😎🤘. Its great to see you young whippersnappers enjoying the music of my youth. It was a golden age kids. 🤩👍
Great stuff. Felt like I was back in my college years. You really showcased a great selection of 80s rock guitar. Loved your solo on White Lion’s “Wait”. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!
Ben, your playing contributes considerably to the tone, but Dave makes and amp with a glorious tone. Takes me back to those songs from my pre teen and teenage years. There is something about music from that time of your life that just sticks with you and really grabs you. Just hearing a single riff can immediately put a smile on your face and bring you back to some formative experience in your life.
I like riffs that are nice. They’re more betterer than riffs that suck. And that’s a good thing. Uncle Ben, you’re the best uncle that’s younger than me that I never had!
Look at that joy. I was a lucky one. We could have been born a pianist in the 20’s. A drummer in the 40's, playing trumpet in the 1960’s. But no, I was raised as a guitarist with 1980’s hair metal guitar gods as our after school babysitters. We are the chosen ones. Party on Bill. Party on Ted. Excellent.
HBE master??? Is that on all the BE-100’s?? This was outstanding. I’m not a “subscribing” kind of guy…but, you got me the second you started playing. Very cool, Ben!
Cheers Uncle Ben, I just copied those settings into my Helix and it transformed it, been using a BE model for a while but that's a game changer, now if I could just play like you
Best Years of my life were the 80's , so many cool concerts, and some of the best guitar players in my opinion were from that era! Fantastic playing as usual Ben! I have a Friedman BE 100 Deluxe on order expected mid July, I can't wait to plug it in and play some of these cool riffs on it!
Amazing choice of licks as always👍🤙 a very underrated 80s band that gets no love but is so good sounding and pretty technical is Bang Tango. Love Injection is an amazing song 🎵 they have a great funk rock sound. Amazing bass and great sound production. 👌
I'm fairly new to this channel and always wanted to see Uncle Ben play. After watching him play, now I really know I suck at guitar. 🤣 As always, great video Ben! Dude you rock!!
Great video Ben! You could teach "It's showtime" (david lee roth/ jason becker) great song and musical lesson , also great riffs and solo , 🇨🇱 Cheers from Chile !
@DFV Louderilk I was just stating "the glam era" not classifying bands. And it was an awesome time. Biggest metal scene in America that almost completely died when that era died.
@DFV Louderilk Black Sabbath is actually my alltime favorite band. Floyd is second. The Wall is one of my alltime favorite albums. I'm old, so the 70s is my favorite music era. Everything didn't sound the same.... But I did love the 80s because the metal bands started incorporating classical influence in the guitar parts heavily.
@DFV Louderilk I felt like, towards the end, the Glam era did go overboard and made people dislike the genre, ushering in the Grunge era and the rock scene in America died at the same time. Was it glam that killed it or grunge? I always felt like it was grunge because the clubs were all jam packed and even nobodies got Rick status playing in a band...and when grunge came in, everybody stopped going to clubs and all the metal clubs closed.
Ben, your dedication to the craft is unprecedented!! I love watchin you rip out all my faves. I been working on mean street, and prob will the rest of my life!... lol.. But I have maybe a challenge for uncle ben..I would'nt mind seeing you tackle nuno's cupid's dead.......that is some sick playin right there..... when I first heard that, I was like...........F$%^ yes!!!!!!!!

I saw “80’s” and “Ben Eller” and couldn’t click fast enough
What a great example of when killer chops and killer tone come together. Nicely done Unc.
Love John Sykes. The riffs never disappoint.
Dude.... I had so much fun just sitting back and reminiscing the days screaming rock guitar ruled the waves! Thanks man!
I love how you couldn’t help but play the one solo… White Lion’s “Wait” Vito was a beast! As are you sir. 👍🏽
Top 3 Best Parts of this Video: 3) Song Selection, 2) Ben's Live Playing, 1) Ben's Facial Expressions.
Nuno stands out above the rest and is instantly recognizable, in my opinion. Great playing of Suzi!
You say Nuno, I say Vito!! Good stuff!
@@flatbaroque4049 I say both. Nuno's rhythm playing though is so amazing.
@@flatbaroque4049 why not both?
So cool to see someone having so much fun just jamming!
That was such a purely awesome 10 minutes of 80’s riffage, by the end of it I felt like my hair grew back!!!!
Retitle this to 10 minutes of rockin' heaven.
80s metal - best music ever!
If a Freedman sounds that good, it's coming home.
Even better in person.
great sound, crunchee
I just pissed my neighbors off for 10 MINS straight!!! PLAY IT LOUD 🤘🏼🤘🏼Thanks @Ben Eller
U R da Man🤜🏼🤛🏼
Look at that face! THAT, is a face of a happy camper :D. A one happy camper during a hard and heavy guitar season. A Guitar, an AMP, a Cab, an occasional pedal and a load of kickass fuckin riffs!
Yes Ben, I'm glad you're enjoying my guitar 😉
Great job. 80s metal had a feel to it, and a creativity, that has never been matched or even approached since. It was the Golden Age of electric guitar.
Yes a little Britney Fox! I could name them all easy. Great playing as usual.
My favorite 80’s riff is High Wire by Badlands. It’s🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for taking the time to properly record audio.
This was really fun. Some of my fav riffs in there especially Loudness!
That was awesome Bro. Loved the more obscure riffs you threw in there. We need a part 2!!!!
Challenge accepted
@@BenEller oh man I can’t wait for part two 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
hi Ben. great exercise. suggestion: can you do a video on how to clean up noises with the right hand? I can tell you I always struggle with this, especially with high gain. Perhaps you can do a video, show few techniques, few exercises etc ? I'm not only talking about palm muting but just in general to clean all these noises with better control of the right hand. Thanks.
Yeah! There’s a video I put up early 2020 called “clean your hands”, sniff it out!
@@BenEller GREAT, I'll check it out. thanks Ben.
Less gain.
@@demokraatti This! I discovered this technique recently. It didn’t solve all my problems, but it was a great place to start.
I struggle with that myself.. i'll sniff out that video too.. you can hear it on the videos on my channel, and i hate it..
Excellent!
Thanks for the stroll through my teens and 20s. Great job man.
Still waiting 2 years later on the 5150 lesson. You're probably the only one that's ever going to be able to help me figure that one out uncle ben.
Dude that song gets me too??
Kick ass amp! Amazing playing!
thanks for making this 80s/friedman guitar video exactly for me!
Great playing there Ben, that takes me back.
That whole thing really illustrates how much a solid rhythm section adds to the mix.
Hells yeah Unca Ben! Fantastic Eighties riffage. 🤘😎🤘. Its great to see you young whippersnappers enjoying the music of my youth. It was a golden age kids. 🤩👍
When you did those white lion hammer ons. Just wow!!!
I'm so happy that you included some Loudness!
Crying in the rain!
Sat and listened to the sykes version yesterday, omg.
I got most of them. That solo on wait was awesome, that’s the best solo of the eighties tied with mr crowley. Nice work
That Suhr sure is a beauty, also your playing as always
@HeavyMetalGuy852 Ahhh... Clever. 🤙
Best ten minutes of your life right here folks 🤙🏼
So fun, frustrating and satisfying as my foggy brain slowly figures them out! 😜
NAILED the solo for Wait!
Great stuff. Felt like I was back in my college years. You really showcased a great selection of 80s rock guitar. Loved your solo on White Lion’s “Wait”. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!
Wait is a tune that damn near makes me tear up, a great song that nails such emotion! 🤘🤘🤘
Uncle Ben Eller makes this world a nicer place...
That tone is just perfect Uncle B
This is the greatest video of all time
What great tone man. The Vito Bratta solo from Wait around minute 4:20, lol, is just amazing. great job
Hell yeah! Kix from out of nowhere! Awesome riffage Uncle Ben! NAILED IT!
Ben, your playing contributes considerably to the tone, but Dave makes and amp with a glorious tone. Takes me back to those songs from my pre teen and teenage years. There is something about music from that time of your life that just sticks with you and really grabs you.

You said it Bro 🤘
These are my jams. love your song choices and your playing.
Nice! Classic JB and Jazz combo, can't go wrong with that. Fantastic tone and playing by the way.
I like riffs that are nice. They’re more betterer than riffs that suck. And that’s a good thing. Uncle Ben, you’re the best uncle that’s younger than me that I never had!
Wicked, Sleazy, Slinky. Superb playing. Covered a tremendous # of great players with authority. Rock On!
I love 80s metal !!!!! Awesome video Ben 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, this made my day! I only had the band and no song name for just 3 - reminded me of why I play guitar... to have fun! Rock on! 🤘
Hi uncle Ben ! Your playing is always perfectly clean. Watched the entire video but can't get out of my head Bark at the moon's riff : crazy AF
Akira Takasaki!!! So Glad you threw Crazy Nights in there. "We're gonna do our best!"
Look at that joy.
I was a lucky one.
We could have been born a pianist in the 20’s. A drummer in the 40's, playing trumpet in the 1960’s. But no, I was raised as a guitarist with 1980’s hair metal guitar gods as our after school babysitters. We are the chosen ones. Party on Bill. Party on Ted. Excellent.
This video reminded me how insanely good of a player Vito Bratta is. Kudos to Uncle Ben for going after the Wait solo!
Massive tone 🔥
If you mean raspy buzzy mess... yup
Can I have your brain when you are done with it? Just fantastic just fantastic!!!
Crying in the rain is so cool 😁🤘🏻
so tight, beautiful playing man, brought back some memories 🤘🤘🤘 oh and killer tone 👊
Outstanding! The tone with the JB and the BE100 is just insane.
I have the JB in three of my guitars. You can put the JB into any amp at any clean or gain setting and it sounds fantastic.
HBE master??? Is that on all the BE-100’s?? This was outstanding. I’m not a “subscribing” kind of guy…but, you got me the second you started playing. Very cool, Ben!
Can watch and listen to you playing Extreme licks all day, Suzi wants her all day what? One of the most underrated albums
Uncle Ben-You kicked some Ass-Excellent playing (and tone)! Thanks for posting
Really cool! Rifling, much luv👍
That Crying in the Rain riff is just too sick!!!!
That was oddly fun, watching someone else have that much fun.
I’m hitting like before the video even play’s so I’m definitely looking forward to the VH video come on back y’all 🤟🏻🤟🏻
You totally crack me up! 🤣🤣🤣 you are soooo good!! Awesome job Ben🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great Job Uncle Ben! Totally Makes me want to pick up the guitar again.
Amazing as always. My fave was youth gone wild right into cold blood. Absolutely amazing 👏 🤙
80’s rule Thanks Uncle Ben!!
Cheers Uncle Ben, I just copied those settings into my Helix and it transformed it, been using a BE model for a while but that's a game changer, now if I could just play like you
I know it's not "hair band" but I was sure you'd play "scuttlebuttin' by SRV, thanks for rocking my morning!
I was always mesmerized by that white lion solo...vito killed that...and you too...also Viva Mick Mars
This made me want to have a beer and throw on some 80s!! Love it
Dude you nailed Vito's incredible solo. That was amazing.
Sounds good! I have the BE-50DLX. It's my favorite amp out of the many I have. Lots of fun to play.
Best Years of my life were the 80's , so many cool concerts, and some of the best guitar players in my opinion were from that era! Fantastic playing as usual Ben! I have a Friedman BE 100 Deluxe on order expected mid July, I can't wait to plug it in and play some of these cool riffs on it!
Total inspiration to learn those Riffs!
Great playing Uncle Ben. I’d love to have a Suhr guitar. I think they’re the best..
Looks like u really enjoyed making that video. Awesome
Great to hear loudness and the crue.
Amazing choice of licks as always👍🤙 a very underrated 80s band that gets no love but is so good sounding and pretty technical is Bang Tango. Love Injection is an amazing song 🎵 they have a great funk rock sound. Amazing bass and great sound production. 👌
I'm fairly new to this channel and always wanted to see Uncle Ben play. After watching him play, now I really know I suck at guitar. 🤣 As always, great video Ben! Dude you rock!!
*10 Minutes of heaven. Nice to hear some Giant in there. Dan Huff was a beast!
what a glorious video
Thanks for the Nuno fix! Righteous cover.
Yeah! That was fun!
That All Day Sucker tho!!!
Great video Ben! You could teach "It's showtime" (david lee roth/ jason becker) great song and musical lesson , also great riffs and solo , 🇨🇱 Cheers from Chile !
You've made me a fan ...
Bark at the Moon . Saw the tour is was excellent.
Ah yes, the glam metal years. So many make fun of it, but it was a pretty awesome time to be a guitarist...
@DFV Louderilk I was just stating "the glam era" not classifying bands. And it was an awesome time. Biggest metal scene in America that almost completely died when that era died.

3 now, nine minutes in. Geez, I thought I would be better at this. And that's it.
Nice playing!
Sounds awesome brotha
Somebody must have a Skankbanger show coming up... Great the tone!!! Love the right hand peddling on Bark at the Moon.
We need a Skankbanger tour.
Uncle Ben on Fire!!!!!!!!!!
Such an awesome amp! Someday, oh yes, someday one will be mine 🤘
A 10 min guitar riff solo! Love it. Such killer riffs back in the 80s! 5150 has to be the most underrated VH riff ever…so sick!!
Oh man, everytime I hear that 5150 riff I feel so sad at the passing of Eddie. What a great riff from the greatest player of all time. 🤘😎🤘
