Thanks a lot brother!!!

+Ben Eller I agree.. somehow you're an amazing teacher..

I think he's a good teacher as well even tho I don't see a lot of likes, but I bet people don't see the entire video and only here the jokes. by the way the jokes are funny

Before I even read this, I was going to send you the same message: You are an excellent teacher. I teach Language Arts to middle and high school, and I see you organizing your lesson the same way somebody with a master's in education would. Good-on-ya.

" setting this hand to frappe ". Hehe

Rockitout32 thanks a lot, man!!!

Yup...definitely great stuff.

Just keep practicing. It comes with time.soon you’ll be ripping with face crushing speed without thinking

Ben Eller did you ever have an alternate version of this lesson that put some time on playing descending? I'm going nuts trying to find it. Seems like you were using a triplet in the lesson, and it had a lot to do with chunking, but more to do with getting the muscle memory for playing descending runs with articulation.

Learn songs too. Learn other guitarists solo. It helps with breaking into shredding.

I dont understand, one day I can play perfectly, beautiful. And the next be completely out of sync. I don't know why. Going to try this and hope for the best! Glad it helped you!

@@adamx9987 I’m the same exact way! If I don’t have the metronome, I’m out of synch. However, if I make it a point to play to the metronome each day even for just 5 mins I’m ok. Makes me respect these guys even more. Hang in there brother!🤘👍🤘👍

@@fasteddievh2072 thanks for the encouragement! I'm going to keep practicing until I get it! You do the same! Stay safe and keep at it!

@@adamx9987 You got this brother!!! Failure is not an option. Just make sure that index finger is never “late” on the beat. The rest of the fingers will fall in line exactly like he said so. Trust me. Hang in there and rock on!!!🤘👍🤘👍

@@adamx9987 yeah this happens to me as well. Some days I play 10 times better it seems with more creativity on top of the better playing. I think that’s just how it goes. It depends on how much your enjoying it, sleep and just your mood in general. Just my thoughts

HAHAHAHA

Lol 😂 biological step nephew aunt frank

Just, like, all of that, makes no sense to me, but in a comedic sense, it's so fucking funny!

Shit was too funny!!!

Hilarious

Somebody please tell me that's all just photoshop.

Sipderman as well 12:32

For someone who can play so well he has terrible taste in guitars.

And he is playing the one he made it from batman

Gear Gods but I wasn’t talking about you!!!

Ben Eller yeah you were talking about me! I’m left handed and my left hand is always wide open and throws off my tempo.

lol imagine Trey thinking he sucks at guitar :FACEPALM: haha

This is gonna seem really, really dumb, but this made me realise the real reason I suck is that I wasn't even practicing with a metronome. Fuck my life.

Ah ha man...

LOL! 😂 The musical part fits to the spider's appearance so perfect. And it's like: "Hello there!". It looks like it was staged. 😂

I'd crash if I saw you at the lights

Jesus Christ you two are ridiculous lmao

LOL! Spidey's like, "wait... couldnt see what fret you were on..."

Totally. Skilled teachers who can also crack a joke make learning so much more fun.

Absolutely - I can't stand this type of playing in general (apart from Metallica) but I watched this to the end because he explained things really well. A very good teacher.

eh yeh the sexist humour gets old tho

@gheddi calm down mate

@@elzibabmorac3553 where the hell is the sexist humour?

didn't get this comment until i reached that part of the video... of course it does !!

Ikr, that was trippy man

@gheddi Or summons a cold brew by opening up the re-phrigean scale. 🙈

it was trying to let us know about the spider walk exercise... which has greatly improved my hand sync

How would you measure sex appeal? Metric system or Imperial?

By the amount of strange I'm not taming, I suppose

Vishal Bondwal you measure it by picking ability

Your premature ejaculation was caused by your unstable jerk hand which also caused you to become addicted to Warcraft since your other out of control hand caused you to lose all your battles and fuel your game addiction. If you had only synchronized your hands sooner you would have stayed married and been a pro gamer... And halted the decline of western civilization!

@@VishalBondwal You measure it by hand synchronization!.. Hand & tongue synchronization will give you an extremely high level of sex appeal!

Maybe this is your calling to play guitar

Jimmy Bare it's 100% a sign

I have to agree. The bug bit me HARD watching videos like this. Grab an axe and give it a try!

@@michaelolzyeah me too… I own a Epiphone Les Paul special ii and just bought a new Fender Player Plus Strat in the last 6/months. Found a co worker that plays bass and another that plays drums and bam 💥 we’re a 3/piece 🤘

My thoughts exactly lol

Oh, he knows it. You're probably not familiar with the "where's the p" joke. :)

Bobby, your playing on Death's Symbolic album is amazing!

*happy Italian noises*

Dude thanks a ton!!! Sounds like someone used an incorrectly sized Allen key to loosen and tighten those bolts, dude. Get a new set off of eBay or Ibanez Rules, and ALWAYS use the correct wrench!!!!

RockMedved Let's Vibrat together like GE.

Ben Eller I get my Allen Wrenches at Walmart for cheaper price.

How is your guitar playing now?

agree, i've accepted i will never be able to shred due to some deficiencies in dexterity. but precision can always be improved.

7:14 he fucked up the abc's

Hey thanks a ton!!! I'm really glad to help, I appreciate the kind words!

I was glad to give them. So many people feel the need to complain when they don't like something, but I like to go the other way too and tell someone if they've made an impact or said something that influenced me. I really did like the chunking concept and I'm still thinking about it. Like, if I do a three-note-per-string run all the way across, from low to high, I now see it as three chunks, making the focal point the accent of low E, D, and B strings, and it doesn't seem like running up such a steep mountain anymore. Do you have any other advanced type concepts that are similar? A new or different perception can really make all the difference in the world. Can make a person "get it". I used to teach too. I just didn't have the patience. Maybe if I could yell at the little fuckers...Anyway, I'm sure you get a lot of messages so I won't expect to hear back from you or be offended if I don't. The mere fact that you responded was good enough for me.

@@BenEller What he said ^ I concur

Dude you can't just go around giving it up to just anyone, that's another way you get diseases.

That's how I learned to say it from my drum teacher.

shocked Pikachu face

lol

Dont forget "Your arm hands"

@@maddump5812 my fav

I can't believe my face eyes

This man has big groin pp

🤣 ...I needed that comment.

Me too. It's made a huge difference in my arm hand coordination. My head brain can actually make sense of playing leads and rythms that are designed for eachother now.

I was watching an old Stevie T video and he brought up metronome. The last time I played was like 4-5 years ago and I remember getting pretty good. For the past couple weeks, I'm dicking around and feeling pathetic. I suddenly remember, or rather rediscover, I used a metronome app back then. Started using it a few days ago and the upward progress over a few days has been surprising. Stupid, dumb brain forgot to keep the damn beat. Shit comes together with a MeNome.

@@NobodyCaresALot I've been playing drums for a few months now. I still play guitar and bass and I plan to make some actual music. Playing drums has really brought some things to light. I've been downloading drumless tracks from KZfaq. Some of them are from "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band" but some were uploaded by people who were cool enough to use an app to pull the drum frequencies out. Anyway... Pre-computer age metal is hard as hell to keep time with because many of them didn't use a metronome and parts of the songs are slower than others and not on purpose. Iron Maiden "Infinite Dreams" is a great example. I love the song and I love Niko, but damnit, coming out of the chorus back into the versus, I get lost because it's almost like he plays slower and slowly speeds back up. A couple of Boston songs are like that to, like "More than a Feeling" the slow break after the chorus, right before "I see my Maryanne walking away" the timing is of enough that I had to learn how to pause so I didn't get ahead of the guitars. Nowadays you don't have that because in the studio the manipulate the drums and line all the beats up electronically. In fact, I was very impressed with Def leppard's "Photograph", then I found out that was one of the first songs to use programmed drums. The drummer didn't even play the song in the studio version, the Producer was messing around with programmable drum machines and decided to use it in that song. Sorry I bored you with all this crap. It's just interesting stuff.

@@kschantz yeah man, I'm not bored by that all. That's a bunch really cool shit wrapped in advanced comprehension. For novice players though, a metronome is going to take them a long way. Probably only so far as they (I) can get to the point where down strokes lead into the second chorus. A metronome is not a crutch but a guideline for playing on time.

I was sure he would be going for some Megadeth riffing :D

VortechBand Dave’s spider technique approaching.

When he say ''I put a curfew on this one... '' I legit had a panic attack about of another curfew haha fuck this pandemic

Tyler Pratt know what I love about youtube comments on older videos? Y’all keep gettin older, I stay the same age. Alright alright alright!

@@BenEller MY MAN.

It think it happens to everyone all the time, some time we catch it but mostly we don't realize it. For me my best guitar is when i relax a bit and have fun, once i start to really focus its easy try to hard and stress.

This is how I learned it: A is for Apple B is for Banana C is for CDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ D is for DEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ E is for EFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ F is for FGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ G is for GHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ H is for HIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ I is for IJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ J is for JKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ K is for KLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ L is for LMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ M is for MNOPQRSTUVWXYZ N is for NOPQRSTUVWXYZ O is for OPQRSTUVWXYZ P is for PQRSTUVWXYZ Q is for QRSTUVWXYZ R is for RSTUVWXYZ S is for STUVWXYZ T is for TUVWXYZ U is for UVWXYZ V is for VWXYZ W is for WXYZ X is for XYZ Y is for YZ Z is for Z

I believe he left out the "P" letter. An old grade school joke. Where's the P? Running down your leg. I wonder if he did this on purpose? He is a sarcastic kind guy. I like the guys style.

lol thanks my man!!!
