As a former guitar performance major at the Chicago Conservatory of Music, I completely applaud your kick ass and unique style. Keep on keepin on, my Brother!
You are sooooooo talented. What a gift. Love listening to you play.
As for the idiots in the background....... well, they are idiots. For real what does it take for them to shut up long enough to realize they are in the presence of exceptional and gifted musician???? Complete morons. Damn, find em stupid, leave em stupid.

Wow! Incredibly well done. Huge Rush fan. Thank you for playing so justly. Unbelievable how much chatter was in the background, hopefully this was just a happenstance jam and not a performance; if the latter, very disrespectful, and unappreciative unmusical people.
Ben that was amazing!!!!! The only thing worse than an indifferent crowd is a room full of musos with arms folded saying "yah.... he shoulda played in Mixo-LOWdian mode more. That's way I woulda done.... He sucks."
My favorite thing about this vid is that you clearly love to play and it doesn't matter who's listening! All the best brother!
@jonfinngroup So true! You've heard the old joke about how many guitarists it takes to change a light bulb? 10 - one to change the bulb and the other nine standing around saying "I could've done it better than that."
@jonfinngroup Thanks Jon! As you well know, you gotta really enjoy what you do because the crowd doesn't always share the same sentiments...of course, this particular performance was done at a winery for Valentine's day...not everybody was there for music. My fiance' was videoing it and I was just having fun trying to block out inane conversation and focus on how truly difficult this song is to play.
Hi Ben, you are truly an inspiration, and from what I hear a great teacher as well. I know you do private lessons in Lexington, do you ever consider teaching frequent online lessons like on You Tube, Jamplay, Guitar Tricks, or on your website? - Thanks!
ok I was TRYING to hear about Tammie's brother's dog at the dentist office, whether they went with fluoride or bleach, but THIS guy kept making all this noise with that thingy... (is that a guitar? my dad had one... whatever it is) and getting in the way... how rude of him... I mean, I know people USED to call it entertainment to have people play instruments, but that's for old people... THIS guy isn't rapping at all, how is THIS music? oh look! something shiny...
I have been friends with Ben since High School. He has always been a step ahead of us aspiring guitarists but now he is in another dimension. This is amazing!!!
that was awesome!
