    I think this is my favourite one you've made so far. Although its definitely your most traditional solo of the series.

    cool solo and breakdown, i'm enjoying this series so far.
    it's barely related but for years i felt like guitar solos were not very inspiring to me anymore, and i focused mostly on riffs in practice. when i discovered fire-toolz because of your "absence of god" video, her solos were so tasteful and good it really made me want to work on lead playing again. thanks for what you do.

    Nice! Makes me wish you'd peppered a few more of the Bent Knee tunes with some licks and phrasing like this. Very cool running through an analysis and description of what you played as well.

    I think you played it fairly safe in the first half, but got more creative in the second part of the song. You got more spontaneous & creative and honestly; that's where your technique really shines

    I find a lot of value in learning how you frame and listen to your playing. Gives me new ways to think critically about my own playing.
    Hey can you do another one of these but it's critiquing a phone call with your wife or mom?
    A little trade video of you analyzing Elliott's solo and him talking about one of yours would be very fun.

  • @willgo7898

    ... this is cool. Your comments are very informative. I would love to hear versions with a gentler touch (less heavy pick attack) and w/o pick (fingers only).

  • @David-gu6ln
    @David-gu6ln Před 11 měsíci

    Ben! These videos are unbelievably helpful as someone who's learning to solo more good. Do you have these backing tracks available anywhere so we can try soloing on top of them too? I love this one.

    instantly reminded me of Chris Christodoulou's works on stuff like Deadbolt and Risk of Rain.

    The bend with then a pinky stretch m3 higher is golden. Hard as shit for me to do with my stubbier fingers thoughh. A variant is bend up a whole with first or second finger and then the pinky isn't so much of a stretch (at least for me).

  • @itsjuno4467

    that first lil melodic phrase is the same as the phrase that starts the song My Simple Humble Neighborhood by carole king, music is silly stuff :) loved this solo enjoying this series plenty

    This is the kind of solo that would be great on stage. Pure crowd work with this solo. Lots of opportunity to engage an audience, which I really think is the point. Show off a bit, get the people cheering.

  • @djuengst2000
    @djuengst2000 Před 11 měsíci

    Hi Ben, I thought it sounded great. So in one of your Bent Knee songs you used what looks like a cut up zip lock bag. Any explanation of why would be appreciated, of course I could just try it😊

    childern of bodom live keyboard solos are so unique .. maybe you could do the Ben Levin thing and do a video on the style. (mess with eq a bit for this ruff live vod) czcams.com/video/kceGRU6GEHM/video.html so many crazy solos in these old bodom videos. I saw them live as a teen 3x times.

    I just want to say I think your solo was pretty OK. It sounded hard to play, I could listen to it any day. Anyways, I'm all about that whammy bar today.
