Nah, you can't say that. Different guitar, different mic/amp. You can't compare. Maybe it sounds better with Ben's gear (I agree with that), but you can't compare the skills.
@deltafan909 lol you obviously are saying that just because he's from your school, ben is good but justin is obviously better, i'm going to go out on a limb here and say you don't know much about guitar
Last night at my college, tried to show my teacher and some friends o mine this song right here. Said it was my style of guitar playing, surprisingly they started bashing it. I pulled up another one, Cold Arrival by Maneli Jamal, still bashed it. Did the same with Rylynn by Andy McKee. There a reason for this?
@StuartLikesMusic Said the "beating" sucks and only looks difficult to ppl who've never touched a guitar. I literally tried playing everything u could think of in the acoustic soloing genre. Down to igor's Sweet Child o Mine.
@Xxguitarkiller77xX lol thanks! Pretty much everyone is an ass about something least once in their life though. Just, ppl who don't play enough guitar to even come close to understanding the beauty of it.
Anyone know what strings would be best for this style? I'm using elixir lights right now on my taylor, but the sound is really thin, which I guess is expected. Would a medium or heavy gauge elixir be better for slapping/tapping guitar?
@ZeroALLEY Nah. He just played 128th notes while still changing what note/chord he was playing. Can't really tell, considering it was too damn epic for the human ears to register. In short, it was like WE were drunk or something.
@bayoubilt No no, thank you, I actually wasn't familiar with who he was actually, it wasn't till I looked up what you said and found the correct name. Probably one of the best discoveries of my life. You weren't exaggerating in the slightest.
@breakinknucklesruler it looks like a flamenco rasgueado, it's actually pretty doable after a bit of practice limbering up your fingers - there are a few vids around that show you how, it's definitely worth learning for fun
@cactustactics I saw Sibicus play in the late 80's. He was doing this and much more. He was the most amazing guitarist I've ever seen. Like I said I can do what he's doing. I fist saw this kind of playing at a party in San Antonio a long time ago. The guys name was Rich something. This isn't new.
@TheBlazeAG I saw him after one of my gigs in San Antonio in the mid 80's. Going to my car I saw a sign that said" Sabicas, World renowed guitarist".It was a small auditorium with mayber 20 people there. I have NEVER heard before or since anyone come close to playing what he performed that night. One guitar and no mic. AWESOME! I met him later at the meet and greet but he didn't speak English. He ha the biggest hands and longest fingers I have ever seen. Quite a genttleman.

The most amazing think about this, is that this is actually a song, i mean, is not a jam, is not just hitting on wood, he wrote this musically speaking, daaaamn man, he has some hell of a tallent right there.
justin king is a god-like player, but honestly i wish he would slow down and articulate each note a little. lots of the song kind of jumbles together.
@pitrik you left out an important detail. I dont think Justin King, Van Halen, Suncha Jung, etc gave up because they seen someone better. Keep practicing and youll get good
@dirtydupe disagreed.how are you gonna do the slap harmonics with a pick in your hand? and the super fast strumming? you could do it with a pick, but it would not sound as good. With just the hand, you have much more control. Also, the tone with a pick would be worse in my opinion.
@DJustice91 I agree full heartedly my buddys a pick play and I with the hand. Theres just more things that can be controlled more accurately with the hand and if you have finger nails forget about a pick!
@DJustice91 Well a pick is something i already know how to use. This technique will take a while to get used to. In the long run you're absolutely right, my point was that a pick can be used pretty easily. The super fast strumming and harmonics i think sound better with a pick, but that's my opinion, maybe i'm just pretty damn good with a pick. The Hand technique is WAY more impressive tho, cuz it's fucking hard
If you look at the covers the people can't play it near this good! Plus they play with no emotion just watch Justin he's raping the guitar! With feeling! Flawlessly!
