How long have you guys been playing for??

2006: Noob; 2024: Advanced Noob

Beanley has been shredding for longer than Ive been alive

2006 - Now? Mate, that’s my entire life💀

Been playing since 2019-2020 or so and I'm finally learning how to play a C chord 🔥

Nailing those solos 3 years in?! IM THE LAZIEST GUITARISR EVER

The last one though, just mind blowing. Godlike 🔥

I'm just shy of 20 years, and you were doing things in 2006 that I can't even do today. 😂

Lmao, that edgy pentagram pendant in the first clip

You are probably one of the best guitar players in the world! Amazing progression, commitment and technique!

I've only played bass guitar for 16 years and it's only until 4 years ago that I started making my own bass lines. (granted 90 percent of them were based on emotions like spite, depression and anger but we all gotta start somewhere.)

Bro was playing Marty Friedman solos note for note after playing for only a few years.

damn I feel like a noob now

Not gonna lie... Your talent has grown exponentially since day one. To boot, you've stayed humble. You have a loyal subscriber here, my friend.

Damn bro you’ve always been good 😅

man these videos are good going to shredding in no time

Man you've really blossomed into an amazing and creative, creator lol. Love your stuff, always

I've been playing since 2000 and 2006 you is better than 2024 me

This is so sweet! I'm glad that you have grown your passion so much over the years, I only hope I can do the same in my own way as a visual artist with only 6 or 7 years going so far.

4:28 Woa, a damascus steel fretboard!

Gosh.. You're incredible.

At august,it will be 1 year,your videos are really inspiring

Haha dude! I loved that Trivium solo back then. Also, great journey!

i was 2 years old when this guy was already shredding

That "Steamed Ham" sleeveless shirt... an old favorite!

Dude. We've been playing for exactly the same 20 years and we started at the same time. And I'm old as you. Respect. Cheers from Argentina.

Muito bom!!! Man!!

What a journey, Brad!! Didn't know Brainslug existed for more than one decade!

That Ibanez practice amp brought back some memories.

I’ve been playing for somewhere around 3 years I think. It was funny to see that the first clip was as old as I am lmao

1 and half year and I’m 16 years old. I love guitar 🎸

1:55 I had that exact BOSS Pedalboard too!

It's hard to find video like this if you're older than a certain stage, the technology to do record it and then edit it into something cohesive just didn't exist. I worked in skydiving as a camera flyer. I have housands of hours of free fall and base jumping videos, and hundreds of pictures…all on rolls 35mm film and video cassettes. I literally went out of the plane with a Nippon 35mm camera mounted at the top, and a Sony Handicam on the right side of my helmet. Looking back I don't know how I didn't break my neck on some of those hard openings 😳. I know I should get them digitized, but there are SO many of them, and 90% of the video cassettes have titles. Most of it is the idea of having to go through them to find which ones are worth it or not. But I digress. Anyway, finding some ancient one of the three or four videos I made playing in 1995 would be like looking for a needle in a needle stack. Little everything having to do with guitar is so much easier now.

Nailed that Hotel California

Oh do you have a full video of that take of the Esperanto solo? Great to see you play Shawn Lane and Allan Holdsworth! The only one I could find was in the Underrated Solos Part 2 video :)

Your playing in the first clip was better than I am now after 34 years! Get The Funk Out was what inspired me to start playing, and you nailed that years before me (I know the notes, but don't have the speed or accuracy). Awesome journey though dude, a real inspiration. On a side note (ish), was that an N2 I spied in there, around 2014?

Damn, shredding both Holdsworth and Lane!

I started learning on my dad's guitar in late 99, got a guitar of my own in early 2000

7 years. And I've accepted my fingers can't move faster than 16th notes at 150 bpm. So now I just sit around and jam a lot.

Mr Hall... Just you was a very big guitarrist since 2008... But now... Incredible!!!!

it's been five years since i got my first guitar and about three years since i got serious. i'm taking music classes next semester so that should really skyrocket my knowledge on music.

Cool ;) atmospheric

2015 was clean as fuck

Your playing in 2006 was really really good for 3-4 years of playing.

I bought my first guitar 11 months ago, a Jackson JDR Plus made in Japan in the late 90s. I get a little frustrated, I don't always study every day, I'm watching your video of Mr Crowley's solo and I'm almost able to play the first part of the solo, I feel like I need to dedicate myself more, train with a metronome... I think people today Nowadays there is less patience due to the dynamism of social networks and computers, where everything is fast and instantaneous, but I will have more patience. I'm 26 years old

Deep fried 2024 beanley has gotta be what I aspire to be like

OH MY GOD YOU'RE SWEEPMAN!!!111 The hero unmasked at last!

2006: still playing better than I have in 12 years since I started

7 years, and I'm 14 rn! 🔥🤟🎸

Man those Guitar Pro tones.

The singer in Greece did NOT fw that solo lmao

I can proudly say, that Beanly in 2006 was better than I’m now after 2 years of self teaching

I'm not too far behind you regarding the years I've been playing guitar! 19 years and counting!

Been playing for 20 years as well. Never been a shredder, more of a blues/rock guy and a singer. You are impressive sir. I'll never play like you, but that's ok

From noob to old noob with cool hat and beans

Five years. It was 15 years ago... Damn! 18! 😢😢😢

I started playing about 18 years ago, but started to actually practise 4-5 years ago. So i would say 5 years then.

ahhhhh the GT10 ! I still use mine lmao

I can smell each of those rooms

There is a good chance that you are old enough to be my dad, Mr. Beanley Hallsworth

ive been playing for around 1 and a half year

2:46 😂 couple dancing in the room and then sudden WTF! Turning their head and staring at stage! 😳

Its really cool, i wish i could play a guitar...

Ahhh yes, Bradley Hall, or is it now Beanley Hallsworth? Getting older without growing up, to such a degree that he wears a monocle whilst getting mononucleosis

2024 goated

4 years. Best decision my teen ass old me ever made

Just seen vid in feed. Dust pan n brushes taped to you 😂😂😂 you always make me laugh. Very impressive bean boy! I first picked up a guitar in 96 im still struggeling w/ arthritis in my hands, im ok with it. Theres still need to pick it up though everytime I see one somewhere 😂

Hey bradley keep up with what you are doing it's really inspiring. I had a question for example you are playing a lead line, melody or solo 1) do you hear in ontervals 2) you hear and thenknow where are all the intervals 3 when playing solo do you prallely think that bend from b5 to 7 and then this lick then 4 and 5 hammer on If yes then what should I do to achieve same level

Post more Allan Holdsworth solos please

I really like your 2010 improvisation ... Keep at it and good luck what I like about it was the beautiful appregio approaches (tapping) along with the chromatic blues scale that you used and I think that would work great with then some major scale voicings and bends and you will have a very full solo that was very nice. Although just a troll you ... I think it would have been better if you had ended it with some Metallica

Bro has always been a shred machine.😅

That feel when someone plays circles around you with half the experience.😖

2013 when sweep man was born

How are those Sweepman videos 4 years old? Only feels like yesterday!

Peak.

Been playing G C D chords since 2001

Do you think you'll do a Mercyful Fate deepdive? Oh and also, are you planning to do another album with Brainslug, the first one was pretty fun

2020: shredding the most difficult solo 2024: *bEaT iT iN 27/32*

That's a really disgusting DVD collection, love it. Ask me the next time you're filming at my house though.

SWEEPMAAAAAAN!!!!

The 2024 Master of Puppets is still better than the one in Hellfest 😭😭😭😭

Mr Beanley this is an alien intervention, wanted to say hello mate, may the great, crafters shredd,and fuck the rest, lata!

You were WAY better then me in 2006 the. I am now 😭 life been playing for 3-4 years

You truly need to bring back the rapscallion looking goatee. It just ads that slightly dangerous and possibly mentally deranged edge to your playing.

2021 Bradley Hall with a goatee and mustache??? Homie should grow it out again; think about how many people it’ll confuse😂

2 years and already shredding concerts for hundreds

For a band I’ve never heard any songs from, the Misfits sure have a lot of merchandise.

I play for almost a year and I kill some thrash riffs. Megadeth, Metallica, Exodus. Hammerhead by Flotsam and Jetsam. The Sentinel by Judas. Some King Diamond and Mercyful Fate. And few others. And I know how to play Were Not Gonna Take It solo 😂😂😂 I wish I will get better at this. Cuz its a lot of fun

Greetings from Greece! Saw that clip of you playing and wanted to ask you how did all this happen! How did you manage to play in greece??

Your master of puppets is somehow still more listenable than kirk at hellfest

I’m 1 year in and even master of nuggets 2X Speed is easy to downpick

Was the last bit that a cover of the most recent live version?

At least the video quality got better over time.

Bradley, I recently asked Teemu if Tornado of Souls was a harder solo than Winter Madness. He said it was because of all the subtleties and how famous it is. Which one did you find harder to learn?

You could've included the Nik Nocturnal challenge video you did few years ago.

10 years and I’m 17 now👹👹👹

Are we all gonna ignore the armour he had in 2020 while playing sweet child o mine 💀 (no hate I just thought it was funny, ur really good btw)

I’ve been playing 1 year 4 months

I've been playing guitar for 17 years now. Started at 16. I'm still not good, but i try badly 😂

Waited for Godless Endeavor, and it never came 😢
