Check out Andy Wood's brand new album "Junktown" on all streaming platforms now! I play all the dang bass guitar on it!
Hey kids! Its Uncle Ben, here with special guest, my main man Andy Wood! As you guys who follow us know, Andy just released a brand new instrumental record called "Junktown", which features some mighty fine playing across 10 tunes that range from fusion shred to hillbilly madness. "Forgotten Secrets" is the 2nd track on the record, and features a ton of interesting ideas that i thought would be perfect to tackle on Weekend Wankshop 218!
In this lesson, we are going to show you how to play that awesome percussive muted main riff, as well as something a little more challenging, the awesome arpeggio section that is featured later in the song! This is a great thing to learn to improve your cross picking and arpeggio playing concepts. To REALLY get your alternate picking chops in shape, don't forget to watch Andy Wood's contributions to Troy Grady's amazing Cracking the Code series!
We are both playing lovely Suhr guitars, Andy using his signature model, and me on my Modern Satin. Best guitars ever. He's using a Suhr Hedgehog, and i'm playing through the EVH 5150 III.
Thanks for watching! Be sure to let me know what you think about the album in the comments below!

Heard the album six times now... THAT was the arpeggio I wanted to figure out... now I am know two parts... the Hybrid part is fun and I got it down.... the arpeggio is more work, but fun.... I'll get it eventually! You two are great! Get over here already!

Great line Andy. Took me a few minutes to put those first three notes into their own note value group, but man, that line is cool. I can't speak to your Patreon, but if a person has trouble learning without tab, and you have tab on Patreon, that would be money well spent. I have 4 of your lessons from Truefire and Jamplay and they are worth every penny and more. Thanks to both of you for sharing and putting your skills out here for us to enjoy. Now to get this one up to half of your tempo to start with.

Hey Ben, the production on the album is great! Maybe you could do a quick video talking about how you put it together. what DAW, Plugins, samples (if any) bass recording techniques etc you used and where you had each instrument sit in the stereo field to get the mix. A slight departure from the traditional Uncle Ben material but I'm sure lots of viewers would be interested.

Ben/Andy, can you demonstrate the section of "Back to Austin" that's from 2:34 to 2:58? That's my favorite part of the whole album, I think. It's very melodic. The solo just after that is out of my league. I don't have the chops for that. Thanks in advance.

@clintn6677 5 жыл бұрын

You guys make a fantastic power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce should watch out! Seriously though you guys are a killer team and are putting out interesting music that shreds and is melodic and enjoyable. I played my wife some of the Live at the Bijou and she really liked it even though not being a fan of anything with actual instruments.

Question here Been practicing Andy's crosspicking and when I do it after a while it starts feeling smooth but I'll comeback the next day and it feels like all my practice from the previous day was completely erased. Have you (Uncle Ben or Andy) had this happen to you? It's really pissed me off. Do I just need to practice more?

@andywoodmusic 5 жыл бұрын

Mr. Metalhorse that’s the battle. So you are off to a great start if you can get it smooth in a session, stay on it and it will get more and more consistent. To me it’s the most difficult right hand picking stuff, so just stay on it!

@MrMetalhorse 5 жыл бұрын

@@andywoodmusic Huge thanks for the reply man. I actually have noticed how I can get it to work in less time each day on my practice every so it's great to hear confirmation that what I'm doing is on the right path. You're a huge influence in my playing. Again thanks a lot and rock on 🤘

@@MrMetalhorse, that was a really good question. I play since 20 years and there are constantly things that seem not to "survive" till the next day. But yes, it's always getting there over time. Like Andy said already: consistency is the battle. And he is so damn right...
