10:30 You just compressed the entire Ghost spirit (no pun intended) in two sentences. That sus4 resolution. It sounds bright, but at the same time epic and... diabolic. While thrash and black metal show the dark side of Satan by accenting on the diminished fourth (dat devil's triton, ya know), Ghost sort of goes the opposite. Tobias shows Satan's seductive, sexy side, his disguise as the good boi, bringer of light and stuff. Triton is Behemoth, sus4 is Lucifer. Damn I'm a f***ing poet here.
My wife's license plate is "Cirice" We took one off of the car and had the band sign it when we met them a few years ago. We told motor vehicle that one of the plates got stolen and we hung it on the wall in our music room.
Not only that, but he threw a quick “meow” in there just before “it’s a little tricky...” He must’ve loved Super Troopers, because he’s all about peppering his scripts with subliminal meows 😸
Similar here... I wanted to like them but couldn't get into them listening to the studio albums.. but I listen to their live recordings the sound is so much better... fatter.. dirtier.. and sexier IMO
@VeganGhost FanForLife Your bullshit. It s a f-ing pop album. All the original gouls have left the band and it shows big time. For me the next album gonna decided if I'm staying a Ghost fan, which i am of their first 3 albums. The last one sucks.
I love hearing your commentary on the riffs themselves. I’m not much of a theory guy, (I only really play for fun), so it’s nice to hear a more technical explanation on why things sound the way they do.
Ben, why in the heck do you not have 10M subs?! This is the best instructional channel on the interwebz, by far. Keep up the great work my man and i'll keep doing the hard part by watching and learning.
I can't stop hearing that fret buzz with the cleans due to the down tuning. I'm shocked that doesn't bother Ben. Keep up the awesome lessons Ben, you are one of the giants.
Dude... yes! I just recently learned this entire song and ever since I saw people asking for you to do this one, I've been dying to see you transcribe the keyboard solo. Do ittt!
Love the comments on major thirds not being “metal” but Ghost pulling it off. Dimebag used major thirds all over the place and always made it sound heavy as hell.
@fcamiola he's got more range than that, but I get what you mean. Lately he's fallen into the youtuber trap of clicks over value. He used to do What Makes this Song Great, and now it's "here's what sucks about __". He's got good guests in my opinion, but I was never there for interviews. Anyhow, stay cool Uncle Ben!
Thanks for highlighting Cirice. Ghost is underrated in my opinion. That said, I don't love Every song they have, but, the ones I like, I freaking love. I think Cirice is just beautiful, and Dance Macabre is just fun as all get out! They have at AC/DC mentality of 'if its us, it aint hard.' Very beautiful, yet easy to understand. Great band!
Oh my god that triplet run in the solo tripped me up to when I was learning it 3 years ago! I remember trying to slow down live footage to see what the exact notes were - Never occurred to me that it might be a happy accident. Thanks for this video even if it’s three years too late for me 😉
Yes for the keyboard solo. Anything Ghost is always interesting. They’ve become one of my favorite bands the last few years. Majesty would be a cool one to do a video on 🤘
Cool video Ben, not the normal note selections we here in our standard metal tunes. I actually like that solo section as well because it has melody to it. Great job and thanks!
At 11:06 - "awkward position shifts and weird fingerings". dude, why you gotta talk about my dating life. Oh wait - you were talking about the fretboard. Never mind...
Found out about Ghost only a few months ago. The songwriting is stellar! For me they (well, Tobias Forge) are in the realm of musical gods, in the same class as Black Sabbath and Zeppelin
Awesome jorb as always, Uncle Ben. And let's say yes, we wanna see that sweet keyboard solo broken down. A video like this that breaks down "Time" by Pink Floyd would be amazing. Get in on that Gilmour goodness.
Go in with an open mind and just enjoy. We have to be grateful that there's still bands / artists trying to pull something original to save rock and roll in general.
Wow, thank you. I have absolutely no clue how to play guitar but I really love to learn why I love a song so much. I was addicted to this song when it started and now you explained me why. Awesome!
Thanks for your video ! I was struggling with transcribing these pieces of triplet wizardry : you helped a ton ! (ps : the doubling of the solo killed a few of my brain cells too ). Cheers from France !
Glad to see this as I like Ghost and am learning some. I have been watching vids and comparing tab and was pretty sure every change of Ghoul resulted in each song being playing in different positions. It would be great to see what you find in Majesty. That one has a variety of inconsistencies.
Thank you so much for this video! I've been playing guitar for like 2.5 months now and the main riff is one of the first riffs I've tried to play, I'm trying to learn the rest of the riffs now, but in tabs and videos I've found always sounded kinda off. This is really cool, thanks again. Also Cirice is one of the best songs I've ever listens to ever in my opinion, and your analaysis just cemented this further haha. Edit: Yes please I'd love to see a video on the keyboard solo, I don't think I've ever seen it played "properly" not even on videos of them live, it always sounds off.
Thanks for learning Cirice with Uncle Ben Eller!!! What Ghost song do you want to learn about next?!?!
Spirit or He Is would be great picks
From the Pinnacle to the Pit or Year Zero would be cool. .
Spirit!! Especially that tasty guitar noodling in the solo.
Majesty !
He is please
Gotta say this song is a bit of a masterpiece.

Hello frrrrrriend
satan has a sexy seductive side?
Thanks buuuuddy!!!!
@@chriscullen6949 don't take it too close to your heart man ;-)
And the funny thing is....it's all Beatles
Ghost is one of the most creative bands in a long long time. You know a band is special when it pisses off the gatekeepers!
What's cool about Ghost to me is the music is never as heavily distorted as you remember but it still hits hard.
That’s because their sound and their production is pretty damn tight and I love them for it!
My wife's license plate is "Cirice" We took one off of the car and had the band sign it when we met them a few years ago. We told motor vehicle that one of the plates got stolen and we hung it on the wall in our music room.
Uncle ben during his ghost phase is the best uncle ben ever
gojira wasn't a phase so makes sense?
I also like Uncle Mastoben
“It’s a little tricky, but it’s a treat” did not expect that
Not only that, but he threw a quick “meow” in there just before “it’s a little tricky...” He must’ve loved Super Troopers, because he’s all about peppering his scripts with subliminal meows 😸
@@TestMeatDollSteak Was that a "yes, sir", or a "year, sure"?
Love Ghost. It took me a few try’s over a few years but DAMN Tobias is a genius, fantastic songwriter and one hell of an entertainer.
Similar here... I wanted to like them but couldn't get into them listening to the studio albums.. but I listen to their live recordings the sound is so much better... fatter.. dirtier.. and sexier IMO
Definitely my favourite band of the last 10 years. I don't know what it is but listening to Ghost gives me a feeling no other band can give me.
Agreed
Agreed, except maybe for their latest album, which don't mesure up to their previous records.
@@MrMickeycrazy In my opinion it's as equal of a masterpiece as Meliora, though I had to listen to it a few times to really get into it :).
@VeganGhost FanForLife Your bullshit. It s a f-ing pop album. All the original gouls have left the band and it shows big time. For me the next album gonna decided if I'm staying a Ghost fan, which i am of their first 3 albums. The last one sucks.
@@MrMickeycrazy when you like a band you don't stop liking them based on one album
Keyboard solo is a killer! Let us see it on guitar.
Boss SY-2?
yes sir, it would be rad to get tab for that
Met Uncle Ben at a Ghost show. Now I'm watching Uncle Ben breakdown Cirice. It doesn't get much better than this kiddos. You're the man Uncle Ben 😄.
yes please the keyboard solo would be sick dude, great lesson btw, love how you break everything down with both parts for quick lessons :D
I love hearing your commentary on the riffs themselves. I’m not much of a theory guy, (I only really play for fun), so it’s nice to hear a more technical explanation on why things sound the way they do.
Also. That guitar is AWESOME!
Ben, why in the heck do you not have 10M subs?! This is the best instructional channel on the interwebz, by far. Keep up the great work my man and i'll keep doing the hard part by watching and learning.
Thank you, Rick!
I can't stop hearing that fret buzz with the cleans due to the down tuning. I'm shocked that doesn't bother Ben.
Keep up the awesome lessons Ben, you are one of the giants.
One of my favorite current bands. I have seen them live twice already.
That intro gave me .....goosebumps ....looks at camera...raises a eyebrow ..smiles and nods ....
That's a yes from me for the keyboard/organ solo.
God damn I love Ghost and Uncle Ben.
Pinnacle to the Pit is my fav. Some sick riffs in that one too.
Dude... yes! I just recently learned this entire song and ever since I saw people asking for you to do this one, I've been dying to see you transcribe the keyboard solo. Do ittt!
Goosebumps will always have a place in my heart
By far the most accurate break down of this song on TH-cam ! Absolution would be screaming 😱
Goosebumps theme in the intro.... nice.
Love the Goosebumps soundtrack
over the intro 🤘🏻
Love the comments on major thirds not being “metal” but Ghost pulling it off. Dimebag used major thirds all over the place and always made it sound heavy as hell.
You can't make a horror movie without those stupid, happy teenie boppers who walk right into the psycho killer.
Slayer too
Even Raining Blood is in a Major key.
a breakdown of majesty would be really cool, that song is thick with unexpected harmonies and the interaction between bass and guitar is killer.
So nice to get Beato-like wisdom and breakdown for this tune
Beato has never heard of this band....it's not Sting, Steely Dan, or Chick Corea
@fcamiola he's got more range than that, but I get what you mean. Lately he's fallen into the youtuber trap of clicks over value. He used to do What Makes this Song Great, and now it's "here's what sucks about __". He's got good guests in my opinion, but I was never there for interviews. Anyhow, stay cool Uncle Ben!
Sir, thank you. There's so much more to learn from you. I think we all appreciate what you do musically and you as a teacher.
I'm all for Uncle Ben's keyboard breakdowns of Ghost and other metal songs
Thanks for highlighting Cirice. Ghost is underrated in my opinion. That said, I don't love Every song they have, but, the ones I like, I freaking love. I think Cirice is just beautiful, and Dance Macabre is just fun as all get out! They have at AC/DC mentality of 'if its us, it aint hard.' Very beautiful, yet easy to understand. Great band!
One of my favorite modern metal tunes, thanks for the detailed breakdown!
Oh my god that triplet run in the solo tripped me up to when I was learning it 3 years ago! I remember trying to slow down live footage to see what the exact notes were - Never occurred to me that it might be a happy accident. Thanks for this video even if it’s three years too late for me 😉
Yes for the keyboard solo. Anything Ghost is always interesting. They’ve become one of my favorite bands the last few years. Majesty would be a cool one to do a video on 🤘
It is something else hearing them live, such an amazing band.
Those spooky harmonies, especially while slowed down, remind me of Crowbar!
I like the riff on Goosebumps in the intro!
Big ol' yes to the keyboard solo transcription. I would love more of that kind of thing. Transcription of keyboard shredding is no small feat.
Cool video Ben, not the normal note selections we here in our standard metal tunes. I actually like that solo section as well because it has melody to it. Great job and thanks!
That CLEAN tone is CRISPY
At 11:06 - "awkward position shifts and weird fingerings". dude, why you gotta talk about my dating life. Oh wait - you were talking about the fretboard. Never mind...
😂😂
Yesss Cirice Phrygian keyboard solo!
Soooo much CANDLEMASS in Ghost....So good to hear
Found out about Ghost only a few months ago. The songwriting is stellar! For me they (well, Tobias Forge) are in the realm of musical gods, in the same class as Black Sabbath and Zeppelin
I straight up deeply like you Uncle Ben !
One of my favourite bands ever
YES! Would love that keyboard solo on guitar!
Bruh that guitar and the company that made it is badass!
Goosebumps brother your killing it!!!awesome content love the amp and axe
Thank you sooo much, yes please for the breakdown lesson too.
Never heard of them until now
Now I'm digging them
Nothin’ for nothin’ but i absolutely love that painting behind you.
This song infatuated me for three days straight. I listened to nothing else and I can’t really explain why.
That's happening to me right now
Awesome jorb as always, Uncle Ben. And let's say yes, we wanna see that sweet keyboard solo broken down. A video like this that breaks down "Time" by Pink Floyd would be amazing. Get in on that Gilmour goodness.
Thank you, Uncle Ben. I love that you have a different take than other youtubers. I look forward to following your tab!
Yes! We want to see the keyboard transcribed !! Great stuff
Thanks, Ben. Best breakdown of a Ghost song I've seen.
This is a yes vote for conversion of the keyboard solo to ghoultar.
breaking down ghost is the best. they have plenty of great music that is appreciated by both metalheads as well as the general audience.
Yes,Ben, definitely hook up that keyboard solo! I was thinking it would be cool to learn before this video!
Doubled guitar solos are more especially a Black Sabbath thing. Great videos, Uncle Ben!
Randy Rhoads references make my musical heart swell 🤘 Excellent teaching Uncle Ben!
thank you uncle ben, i've been practicing this one for a long time, and the solo always gets me, lets see if i can finally do it
Another killer video. Uncle Ben will not miss.
Such a great song, thanks for the lesson! And yes we would love to hear the keyboard solo on guitar!
Ben: so there's the keyboard solo, but maybe just maybe you'll be interested in a breakdown...
Us: did you just asked if we want more Ghost?
This was awesome! And yes the keyboard solo is killer in this track
Thank you for doing this, I was one of the ones who wished you'd do this track on your Facebook. 🤘😊
I've never listened to Ghost -- but still enjoyed the lesson.
Go in with an open mind and just enjoy. We have to be grateful that there's still bands / artists trying to pull something original to save rock and roll in general.
sweet jebus that amp and guitar sound great together.
YES!!! Keyboard breakdown of Ghost!!! EVH would love it. He composed most of his stuff on keys. Why he was so Unorthodox!!!
Please please please Uncle Ben, can we have the keyboard solo and all the remaining Ghost tunes. U rock,man!!!
Hi, you're probably correct in saying that Tobias isn' t a mega shredder. But he sure is a mega genius :-)
I’ll take a great song over a great solo every time.
It's a happy day when our Uncle Ben uploads
Great tune and sounds huge live, they kill it on stage.
That verse riff is so good. If you can’t headband to that you’re crazy
You're the man Uncle Ben! Thanks for doing what you do.
Do you think there is life on earth
Wow, thank you. I have absolutely no clue how to play guitar but I really love to learn why I love a song so much. I was addicted to this song when it started and now you explained me why. Awesome!
I would like to see that keyboard solo for sure Uncle Ben!
Thanks for your video ! I was struggling with transcribing these pieces of triplet wizardry : you helped a ton ! (ps : the doubling of the solo killed a few of my brain cells too ). Cheers from France !
Love to see that keyboard solo transcribed, you the man Uncle Ben 🤘🤘
Yes, do the synthesizer please!! Was a great video
I play that on bass and it sounds sick by itself...add it all up...righteous
The sound is amazing
Yes. Keyboard solo!
Everytime you post I feel the NEED to play. We love you man. 🤘🏻 please never stop making content
Glad to see this as I like Ghost and am learning some. I have been watching vids and comparing tab and was pretty sure every change of Ghoul resulted in each song being playing in different positions. It would be great to see what you find in Majesty. That one has a variety of inconsistencies.
rocking the grunge pedal in the background lol !!! first pedal i ever played flashbacks.
having that keyboard solo transcribed for guitar would be super awesome! yes please!
Ghost sounds to me as if Yes had hired Dave Mustaine to write their guitar lines. And I am saying this as a positive.
Touching on your mom's second husband, and then pondering why your parents got divorced... You okay Ben? I feel like you need to talk.
the intro was a nice touch lol
Just saw you on Leos Jump video both of you guys did a great job man.
They've definitely nailed menacing and evil in this song. Pure groove in that main riff though.
Uncle Ben always delivers the goods.
awesome! pinicle to the pit, witch image, rats and faith
Thank you so much for this video! I've been playing guitar for like 2.5 months now and the main riff is one of the first riffs I've tried to play, I'm trying to learn the rest of the riffs now, but in tabs and videos I've found always sounded kinda off. This is really cool, thanks again.
Also Cirice is one of the best songs I've ever listens to ever in my opinion, and your analaysis just cemented this further haha.
Edit: Yes please I'd love to see a video on the keyboard solo, I don't think I've ever seen it played "properly" not even on videos of them live, it always sounds off.
Totally interested! I love playing this solo and would love to learn the keyboard part so I could just extend the guitar solo. Horns up!!
Would love to see the keyboard solo Ben, excellent job on this video🤘🤘
Amazing song, amazing video by the amazing uncle Ben! Great job man keep up the great work!🤘🏻
