    Hey kids! Its your good buddy Uncle Ben here, and on today's Weekend Wankshop, i'm spilling the beans on my favorite secret cheater technique that you can use to play scalding hot licks TODAY! This trick is perfect to use for Eddie Van Halen or Nuno Bettencourt-style repeating licks, and it doesn't require any kind of high speed alternate, sweep, or economy picking! There's barely any picking at all, actually.
    In this lesson, i'll show you the trick to making this work, an original lick utilizing, then we will talk a bunch of tips and variations you can use with this technique to make it your own! Adding a little palm muted legato is perfect for getting those Nuno/Rick Graham sounds out of this, and its easy to do!

    Thanks for watching! Let me know in the comments what else you'd like to see on future WW lessons!

    And uncle nephew Ben Eller is one of THE best teachers. I would never have the patience to STEP BY STEP DISECT AND EXPLAIN a legato lick in CLOSE DETAIL! Id tell the kid its one of those things ya have to figure out lol.

    The "divide and conquer" approach is, generally, a great way to tackle/fix issues and learn things. On this one in particular, separating the picking movement from the rest of the riff, is one of the best things I've ever seen. Kudos Ben, you're a magnificent teacher!!!

    @AchillesWrath1 Před 3 lety

    Thanks for the lesson. This is exactly the kind of video i was looking for. Im trying to learn a similar style pentatonic lick but instead of starting on the 5 fret it starts on the 8th with a pull off to 5e. Then it goes 8b back to 5e then 8-5 pull off on the b string. I was really having trouble going back and forth with my first finger. But i think covering both strings and rocking back and forth like you're showing is the ticket.

      Isn't it funny how things all link together? I was just watching a video of Ritchie Blackmore earlier, where he's talking (junk) about Joe Satriani replacing him in Deep Purple. I've never really thought of Ritchie Blackmore as a shred God or anything like that. I saw Rainbow in 1980 at the first Monsters of Rock concert at Castle Donington in England. Considering that Judas Priest and Scorpions played, along with others, Blackmore was not the best guitarist on the ticket, you would think by his attitude that he was though.
