I CAN HAS BIRTHDAY! Uncle Ben Eller here, and I just turned 40!!!! Holy moly! Am I too old to shred now??? I sure hope not, cause here soon, I'm gonna be dropping a brand new solo album on you all, and its gonna be PACKED with sick riffs, hot licks, and all kinds of goodies. I'm so stoked to use this Schecter Jack Fowler signature model all over it, I just had to share a section of a song I'm working on called "Fathom". I hope you all enjoy it, I'm SO excited about this music!
Cheers, and thanks for all the support and birthday wishes. You all are the best!

This is the decade when you start to make involuntary noises when you bend down, not necessarily from your mouth. Have a fantastic birthday weekend.

I realized a while ago how difficult it is to slip on shoes while standing now.

@marks8437 Ай бұрын

You can absolutely never be too old to shred, I've been playing guitar since before you were born and my playing is still improving. And I owe some of that improvement to watching your videos. One of the best channels on KZfaq, thanks so much and happy birthday.

Uncle Ben, i’m forty too, still trying to catch up with you on my guitar skills, I already learned how to play Nothing Else Bores, Smoke in the Boredom and Sweet Death of Mine… thank you!!

@SonicVR12 Ай бұрын

HAPPY BIRTHAY TO YOU!! And we're the ones getting the present! Sounds fantastic!

@RoofsHobbyGuitar Ай бұрын

Yes there is a limit. I started at 46! 49 now. With 25 years of factory work behind me, affecting my joints, wrists, hands. And reflexes go down as you get older. I'm proof you can be too old to play like ur 20 with speed, sweep picking and crazy legato 😂

@tearzofthefallen6586 Ай бұрын

Happy Birthday Uncle Ben. If it wasnt for you, I probably wouldnt be were I am in my playing now and I appreciate that!

Happy birthday, Uncle Ben! That tune needs a vocal! It would be a hit! It's got a great riff and chord voicings... a strong, catchy chorus with some good harmonies and you're on your way!

Happy Birthday Ben! I lived my best life in my 40's! You will too. 🤘

Happy Birthday Ben!!! I have to give you the biggest Thank You of all time, because you have been such a massive part in improving my guitar playing, it's actually kind of insane... Just for some context, I've been a drummer for most of the 18 years of my life, and just started playing guitar a year ago... If it weren't for your channel, I wouldn't have fallen in love with practicing and playing the instrument the way I have right now!
