Do you make up all these song pieces? or where do you learn them? you seem to have alot of music ideas. and if you make them up. how do you do it? cause it sounds great. and how much does a Wah Padel cost? thank you very much for the lessons. :)

[NoRestForTheWiked]

can u teach us some really cool little song like u played at end or at first ? please that would be amazing if ur still reading commends..

[Josh90456]

what does it matter man its a groovy hair style wether or where it belongs to doesnt matter.....thnx man this funk lesson was groovy keep it up

[88Xrist]

What difference does it make if you strum a single chord upwards or downwards?I mean it sounds the same to me.I'm talking about struming one single chord.

[MrPiouks]

It'is just to get the tempo and to strum faster... No difference about the noise...

[CezTec]

@88Xrist when you strum downwards the higher notes ring louder, when you strum upward the lower string ring louder ;P when your ear gets better youll hear it more

[FURRY1995]

It does sound different coz u here the high note first but it doesn't matter like u sed, strumming up and down keeps rhythm and u can make more interesting sounds from it

[charmedandnightwishl]

u definetly dont know anything about emo's

[tsitsilianos]

that's not emo hairstyle!!!! It's a punk hairstyle!! you're a total idiot!!!!

[grassvalleystudios]

My god man. Dont talk about shit you nothing of. Thats called a Mohawk. Mohawk is associated with Punk Rock styles. NOT emo. Goddamit.

[PAFJOE]

emo mohawk whatever it looks like a gayhomofag

[NoRestForTheWiked]

@PAFJOE in other words u say " i'm jealous"

[PelehAnDrIy]

emo????))))

[FURRY1995]

obviously not an emo

[frankixbox]

i have a fat neck guitar and its hard to play its like an epiphone lespaul and its fat neck will a strat be easier?

[kameloon]

Not only does he look, but he knows

[magu0117]

i have only one answer to all the haters who sais "He looks gay" and that is: "It takes one to know one"

[FURRY1995]

Yo man, I was being an ass, sorry about that comment, I was just having some troubles with a teacher at school, and I was pissed. Still doesn't give me the right to take it out on you (or anyone for that matter). If it is any consolation, you kick ass at playing that guitar.

[lollol1]

where to get a whahwhah-pedal?

[fleeepz]

You can find them on internet music-shops. Or in any local music store.. Not really that hard to find.. You could also try to find a EffectBoard. It has really got alot of cool effects. And you can find some including a wah-pedal also.

[DelSpaarky]

I like this guy's energy. He's very personable. The lesson is really basic, I'd like to see more advanced stuff, but overall the guy does a good job.

[abominable37]

Can someone tell me what guitar that is? It's so bad ass, I may start saving up for it, thanks in advance.

[haho01]

The electric was custom made for Ben for his 18th birthday by a man called Bob Gill.

but it was stolen in a house burglary, so if you ever see it around and recognise it please let us know as we would love to get it back! :-(

Now Benv plays an acoustic Yamaha, a PRS custom 24, and a Les Paul :-)

Kind Regards

Holly

[tegid699]

I am a pro keyboard player and have always wanted to improve my VERY basic guitar strumming, you my friend have shown me how! I will be visiting your website!

You have patience and style and I appreciate you beraking down the techniques into understandable chunks.

Good teacher!!!

[lovesdarthmaul]

delightful, makes me sad i have an acustic. *sigh* update update i must.

[famousmanbearpig]

this kind of stuff could sound good on acoustic too!

just pluck ur pick all the way to the right (if your right handed) where those bolts near your palm are and buy lighter strings for a better bend and it will sound just as good! =]

[sU313]

very cool work man you're not boring while teaching keep it up really!!!!!!!! and keep it coming:)
