Cyber-Jam Blues

[frohawk10123]

dude you need to let the guitar breathe and do what it does best. faster doesnt mean better

[XxANDY2047Xx]

You have a style of Carlos Santana in you. If you dont know who he is, look him up!

[zwickey125]

not that you play poorly, I just feel the lack of soul. That being said, I play bass and looking back on recorded tracks of mine, I need more soul as well.

[MrGuitarforyou]

@ r2hMisTaKeN because he sucks

[samgothigh]

the object of playing fast isnt just to play fast....and nobody wants to hear chromatic slop when you do, oh and sell everything your ego bought like the cameras and then take some lessons

[buiman99]

your bends are shitty. you dont have your scales down. your fast shit isnt articulate . go sell your guitar at gc and let someone else play it

[r2hMisTaKeN]

why are people saying he is bad lol.

[StevieHendrix92]

It's alright, in the right direction.. I'd drop the ego though, you're far from good enough to have it haha.

[watermelonman69]

This is fucking terrible.

[bepianoful]

dude your a great guitar player and you go even further, tell all these others to

stick it....nuf said

[dudeanator22]

Not to bad! =) if ur in a band i'd like to here that, if u have it, send me the url or name of vid? K? thanks

(P.S.- I'd like to here u do rock instead of blues though.=)

[wetwithlife]

Mabye if you put a couple more guitars in the back ground people would stop hateing on you? I dont care for the blues, you should have played "Crazy Train Solo" to redeem yourself, thats what I was expecting.

[bloodydogfang]

yea thats fuckin easy to play its just a blues riff and a solo from a metal song

[saxmanplaya]

you should learn the blues progression because you aren't really playing it

[Carlos89518]

Not bad

[RegisOwl]

fast fingers but no knowledge of scales.

[KH13JPLAZMA]

he suks

[colagice117]

@KH13JPLAZMA are you kidding me? Hes awesome, I bet you cant even play this good

[KH13JPLAZMA]

@colagice117 no im not kidding you, AND thaat comment was a year ago, im pretty sure i didnt know any sense. PLUS im way better, not to say im better than everyone, but yeah i am, look at my vids.

[colagice117]

@KH13JPLAZMA

[TheMX192]

@KH13JPLAZMA and you can play better?

[KH13JPLAZMA]

@TheMX192 actually i can....... so gtfo.

[TheMX192]

@KH13JPLAZMA if you had common sense you could appreciate this guy and see that he is actually good. just because you dont like something doesnt mean someone sucks. kind of like i think you suck donkey dick but i can still appreciate how bad you are at the guitar

[KH13JPLAZMA]

@TheMX192 and you can play better?

[musicfreak1693]

omg!!

how did you make it look like you filmed it in the 80's?!?

the song goes with it too

thats so cool!! :D

[MCMSFOOTBALLA17]

Rofl.

[oakfan3]

your collection of guitars is much nicer than your playing. how much did it cost for someone to come video you at your house? is this 80's

[xMatthew13]

shut up dude your not funny

[DaleyDerek]

sorry mane, just saying when i see a dude playin guitar4, i want him to be appealing the the EYEs and the Ears,

[BlankFire419]

the only reason your sayn he is not funny is cuz your probably fat u fatty

he is very funny

[xMatthew13]

um how about you watch one of my videos before you call me fat

[BlankFire419]

dude...your fat

im srry you will got over it

[xMatthew13]

hahahaha your so funny

[jr231231]

bro, so what hes fat and? im chubby and im good as hell, mick thomson is fat and hes great kerry king and zakk wydle are big and there awesome,

[BlankFire419]

i never said he wasnt good dumbass now did i

[tentummy]

definately pedifile, mostly through this video i was wating for chris hansen to come in and ask oldy why hes there

[GreenCowProductions]

that old guy is your friend?!?!?!

QUEER!!!!

[secoro60]

I won't join in the chorus of critics because it's plain to see they're incredibly jealous... of what I'm not sure, except that your high level of attenuation singles you out as a rare talent, mostly unequalled in that particular way. When you overcome your nervous habits you'll be the world's best guitar player. In the meantime you might be the most hilarious.

[lovetruck13]

try a new instrument

[edgirallenjoe29]

Oh my god my ears....ouch...

[Carlostileman]

Fast fingers does not equal good music. Check out vandal63 videos not as fast but twice as good.

[razorblade967]

That first kid is like he is playing in wrong key or something. Just horrible to listen

[dinomarcel3]

Ahhhhh my ears. make it stop!!!! that first kids solo was rubbish, dude. pure rubbish.

[dinomarcel3]

Never mind its just 1 kid, all suck!

[rhoadsfanz5150]

George Carlin: White people ought to understand it's their job to *give* people the blues, not to get them. And certainly not to sing or play them. I'll give you a little tip about the blues, folks: it's not enough to know which notes to play. You need to know why they need to be played.

[xbraddo07]

YOU FUCKING SUCK BALLLLLLS

[SayYesToPhish003]

dude...that kids solo was just straight shit lol...like...put some feeling into it or somthing and stop playing random shit lol...your technique is good, but thats about it.

[keymaker2112]

May I suggest some Stevie Ray Vaughn?

[metalhead637]

I'll give it 3 stars, it was decent. It was very sloppy, and blues isnt shredding.

[ssstnh1996]

music isn't all about sounding good it is about expressing feeling and dude you got the soun down but you have to put your heart in it no one cares what you look like as long as your having fun.

[pyroblz123]

your barely decent you just don't have the heart and soul for it man...sry but it's true

[beezlebossrocker]

dude, yo u need to put more soul into it, you have to feel the blues before you can play them. fast fingers arent as impressive as a heartfelt solo

[wwwspelenlsucks]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aah

my ears put it away put it away

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[harpsichord1]

Oh, not to mention it's sloppy as fuck.

[harpsichord1]

Needs more soul to it. This isn't the blues, this is just dampened down shredding.

[nickstur]

ur in the rong key retard

[jolocoloco]

lol yes he is, doesn t sound that bad thou

[VanHalen042]

nice catch... i didnt notice til u said that

[trimags]

Get the runs more clean then youll be rockin it

[smooch944]

oh my damn this was fuckin garbage. u have fast fingers ill give u that but u have absolutely no idea what to do with them. not one lick of that solo went with the song. u got potential though. im not gunna hate as much as everybody else lol. keep practicing and for now plz just stay away from the blues.

[TravuhsWree]

Jealous of what?

That's like saying I'm jealous of a man with twenty short 1 inch dicks.

It makes absolutely no sense.

[Bradj145]

Or like twenty short 1 inch dicks in his face, none of his shitty "shredding" (psshh not even that) even went with the freaking song BEN YOU LIKE DICK

[funsuka17]

jealous seriously dude this kid has been playing for about ten years and he still hasnt got any feel what so ever and prolly has some of the  biggest boobs on youtube....why the fuck would someone be jelous of that

[resq123]

awsome man maby u could be in my band i play the drums

[jolocoloco]

you play as shitty as him?

[Metallicaforever1025]

this was so gay!

iv been playin since April of this year nd im already way better!

[superbond2]

I think this sounds pretty great. good job.

[metalbladecanada]

idk but u suck balls lol

[TravuhsWree]

You'll never get a girlfriend without a dick that is less than how much you weigh fatass.

[personman48]

is that some kind of electric capo?

[broadcastmyself07]

i think this is good guitar playing. I mean maybe better musicians than I can tell where you went wrong, but I think this is well played maybe a few off tones here and there but practice makes perfect :P

P.S. even though I know you dont... still don't let douche bags bring you down lmao

[SebsVids]

what kind of amp do you use...and do u have any pedal things??/ and BTW great guitar playing

[samgc14]

Your tone was waaaaaaay out of place, and pretty terrible even if not being played with "blues"

[TooLongJohnny66]

Wow Ben, how did you attract so many fuckin dicks to your channel? I'ts always the ass clowns with no videos that talk shit!

Your vids are pretty good

[Jampipapa]

It is out of tune...some times playing slower worth more

[marvelious92]

lose some weight

[spawk1993]

thats really good, i love ur tone, good playin to :)

[BuckQue]

Some notes just don't sound right...

But nice playing overall though

[bmullecker]

I don't see how this got any awards. Sloppy as hell, aside from the gloating and over-usage of cameras. If this is what you "can really do" (based on your other video about that talent show), I'm not impressed.

[tytyyytyty]

Sorry, this is old. I didn't know it was in one of those annotations. No, this isn't the extent of my capabilities. However, it's not bad, and you know it. You didn't have to be such a frickin' douche about it. ...and do you see gloating anywhere? I don't; don't follow the crowd buddy, learn what you're saying BEFORE you say it.

BEN-jamin'

[bmullecker]

You clearly didn't read my post correctly. I said it was in reference to the other video. And, yes, it is bad.

[tytyyytyty]

you clearly expected me not to read it correctly. I knew that's what you said, and responded accordingly. and as for it being bad or not: whatever dude, I have like 220 subscribers and got plenty of honors on this(and it's rated very well even with all those views); wether you understand why or not, it's there and it means something. ...tell me, how many subscribers do you have?

BEN-jamin'

[ZahnGhor]

hey man dont worry, that was really good. bmullecker is probably a fat 40 year-old virgin who's best friends his hand, a magazine, and a paper towel

[spellsnamewrong]

No gloating? in your description its 'really cool' you just said then its not bad and he knows it..calling him a douche because he knows what good music sounds like.. u think ur good but ur really worse than avg

[tytyyytyty]

it isn't bad, really it isn't. ...anyone can tell that. He was being a douche in that he said everything like an insult and wanted no more than to talk down to me. ...and really: you really think I'm worse than average? Tell me, what is average? You mean average relative to my age, experience, what? Cause really dude, if you consider age and experience, I'm really not bad at all; age alone, I am quite good. THAT is gloating, but not close to an amount worth mention, at ALL.

BEN-jamin'

[spellsnamewrong]

average is the ability to play remotely well.. you lack that ability. I think i know alot of people who are younger than you and have more skill

[thatguitarkid171]

you suck, i can play that slapping my cock around the fretboard

[tytyyytyty]

I bet you could. You prolly have alot of experience playing with ur cock. =)

BEN-jamin'

[TravuhsWree]

So in your previous post you said: "He was being a douche in that he said everything like an insult and wanted no more than to talk down to me."

Not gloating, hah! Suck a dick!

"I'm BEN, from Ohio. I'm 16 years old. I've been playing guitar since I was 7(9 years) and am gettin' to be pretty awesome."

#25 - Most Discussed (4/16/08) - Music

People just love discussing about how bad this is.

#85 - Top Rated (4/16/08) - Music

I find this hard to believe, but hey, there are a lot of retards here.

[tytyyytyty]

.. yeah, everyone's a retard, and you're just a genius. ... I don't care. I satisfy the public, not individual retards that think they're better than everyone else. ..You go on being smarter than everyone, and I'll go on pleasing them. ... Let's see who gets further. =)

BEN-jamin'

[tytyyytyty]

I'm satisfied with that. ..you're not nearly as smart as you think. ... o and yea, ur such a better guitarist than me, that's why ur videos are so great.

BEN-jamin'

[TravuhsWree]

I will let you live with your self, I'm tired of talking to someone with such a poor nature as yourself. Maybe when you realize you are a loser, you will change the way you act. Highly unlikely.

Goodbye Benjamin, stop gloating for Christ sake, start actually practicing, don't ever sing again.

[TravuhsWree]

What a douche, you're not even that good, listen to how sloppy you play, not to mention you play everything with distortion, you don't play fucking blues with that much distortion, I bet you make Tim barf.

And what?! That sounds exactly like a standard fucking 12-bar blues, how did he write that?

Nevermind, someone who's played nine years, should be A LOT better than you. This does suck, take it personally by all means, you are a fat loser who plays with hi-gain distortion and is sloppy as fuck.

[ZahnGhor]

dont you are a fucking dumb ass

[subzero5620]

you only suck becauseu gloat. awesome playing but please be more modest

[dagameboyz]

if u cant preform infront of people, then what is the point of telling people your good???

[hankmacgregor]

Nice collaboration 5*****

[shdwsf]

music isn't about "who's better than Who" bullshit. Dude, your not very good, so STFU.

[tytyyytyty]

what the heck are you talking about!? I never said anything like that...

BEN-jamin'

[tannervivik]

lol

[drumlover39]

love how you possitioned your guitars in the picture to make youself look like a tool

[rafa7008]

Reminds of 5 minutes alone - pantera

[pimpdaddycaddy92]

u suck

[matthewformyvalentin]

ok this is so sweet ur kool dude

[prboyd]

Very cool jam Ben. I love doing these things, but only have about 5 licks that I play badly... Lol

Really enjoyed this :)

[JooZer]

Sloppy

[turtlenuttz]

Bluesy stuff is supposed to be sloppy, thats what it is, blues was made when somebody messed up playing jazz.

[petticoatjunkies]

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my goddamn life. Learn your fucking history.

[tytyyytyty]

wow, ..what a douche bag! Why do you wanna go and act like that! ...that was an interpretation of the essence of blues. Who are you to judge it right or wrong!?!?! I'll spare the time; it's niether right nor wrong, ...it is an interpretation.

Learn your freaking manners.

BEN-jamin'

[petticoatjunkies]

I meant to make that a reference to turtlenuttz quote: "thats what it is, blues was made when somebody messed up playing jazz." this is completely unbased and makes no sense. I wasn't referring to your performance or anything to do with playing blues sloppy.

[petticoatjunkies]

Again, I meant know criticism against the performance, only turtlenuttz' ahistorical, ignorant comment.

[turtlenuttz]

Ill pwn you at haloz soh shutz upz lulululululu, no but the off notes on the solo scales i mean sure you dont have to follow them or go by the text book or whatever but i do sounds better imo, but the notes that just dont seem to fit untill you use them to your advantage, this guy isnt to great of an example but whatever, i think im done with this pointless youtube argument? i take my internetz zeriouslz

[petticoatjunkies]

Huh!?!

[turtlenuttz]

shut up

[JustKickit85]

dude you fail at life this dude is pretty sic nasty i'd like to see you do somethin rather than sit on your ass and complain about others especially when its a talent you lack so dont be a dick

[turtlenuttz]

you said sic nasty, that makes him cool right guiz? amirite amirite oh and bhad garmmarz n splling make you kool

[tytyyytyty]

read my comment, I knew what you were talking about.

[turtlenuttz]

ohkay take the internet seriously why dont you, i was just stateing what i thought to be true, its what it seems, ever listened to stevi ray? maybe james brown, both very sloppy it makes to be more interesting and do you know the pentatonic scales, have you ever noticed the blues bassed notes, their sloppy =]

[petticoatjunkies]

Again I was referring to your comment not the video. Most Jazz originated out of blues and popular song forms that already existed, so a comment like: "thats what it is, blues was made when somebody messed up playing jazz." is incredibly ignorant and dumb.

[tytyyytyty]

jazz kinda came first I think dude

[petticoatjunkies]

It didn't

[kaiserwilhelm]

Blues came way before but not electric blues.

[taxidoimy]

weren't they happening at around the same time, just in different areas? like, jazz was happening in the bigger cities and blues was happening in the south?

[petticoatjunkies]

Also, what do you mean by the blues based notes are sloppy. That doesn't make any sense.  Are you referring to blue notes? If you are, they're only sloppy if you don't know how to bend a string.

[luvpurebs]

Pure billiance putting you two together! :)

[wizardeal]

I thought Ben did good on this but wait til you see what he did for for PEACE!!!

[tytyyytyty]

better you say?

[friendalways99]

awesome!

[bardc001]

Tim

[Joe0728]

hey ben.. you rock buddy..

[Pooter715]

Nice sound on the guitar, a little wah with a little of overdrive, right? Great picking, 5 stars, and im lookin forward to your newest every day... GREAT JOB, FELLAS

[tytyyytyty]

I'm not sure if you're talking specific on the overdrive comment, but I just turn my distortion a bit over half way and move the shape to a tube sound. And as far as the wah goes: Nope, no wah; that's the beautiful sound of an American Strat deluxe center pickup. I don't know why it cries like that, but I love it to death! Thank you for the comment

BEN-jamin'

[smirenger]

5☆5☆5☆5☆5☆tars from: smi-ren-ger!.

[catcow69]

awesome but the background is the real song and another solo in the song right?

[tytyyytyty]

... not sure what you mean by that. Wizardeal made a blues back track and I jammed to it. You can hear it without my lead at the link in the description. ...hope that answers your question

[Psychofunkapus]

[funsuka017]

[wizardeaI]

dude I'm 45 years old and been playing guitar for 32 years... thats twice as long as Ben's been alive, he plays WAY better than I did at 16 years of age

[tytyyytyty]

j.austin

[wizardeal]

[prboyd]

Nice collab fellas. Good skills!! 5*****

[wizardeal]

awesome

[JooZer]

What I really think ruins your vids is that they are all sloppy. Some parts are not, but most are sloppy... Work on it.

[wizardeal]

I'd have to agree, Ben is stepping into unfamiliar territory, just like Jimmy Page (the slop-meister himself) played for the greatest Rock n Roll band of all time....Ben hits some great riffs in here, but a few sloppy ones too, hey when I was 16 i couldn't play 1/2 this good.

[chainedtothegrave]

really awesome you rock at this technology stuff. 5 fucking stars bro all your fucking vids!!

[bandbsmom]

super cool and groovy:) hugs shelly

:o

)

[tytyyytyty]

[funsuka017]
