@shezkrazi There is more where that came from!

I've been playing bass with him since last June. Sick guitarist. I think he needs to quit playing the Lagunas though. He has to tune so many times during a set. But I guess I don't have an endorsement deal with anyone yet, so I can't really say anything. :/

[benadmin]

@slcpunk1 Thanks.

One of my favorites of the bunch. Too bad about the pillowey tone.

[benadmin]

@roadtonever And no time to get it right..

[roadtonever]

@benadmin Sucks when that happens. Your playing style shined through despite the technical issues and thats what counts. Though IMHO it's due to high cable capacitance or overly hot pickups when tone gets pillowey like in this clip. No reason to blame the guitar as such.

[jazzermonk]

very good ... guitar is kinda below him in a very real way.

[benadmin]

@jazzermonk I still play a few of them, have a Les as well.

[jazzermonk]

@benadmin you make it sound great ... but when i checked you out in miami the upper register couldn't keep up with you IMHO

[roadhouse48]

awesome



[benadmin]

Ben has been featured in ALL the major Guitar publications, Guitar World, Guitar Player, Guitar Edge, the 2011 buyers guide and many more. This was a part of his endorsement of the Laguna Guitar line, who he brought to this party! to see the covers visit him at my space.c om/ the ben robinsonband. Or

[benadmin]

Interesting. Ben plays a real song off his album, sans lyrics, to hear how it really sounds go to his website.

[squid262]

Tone kinda sucked, but still awesome.

[jeremiahtaylor601]

he changed the bridge pickup and is playing through a mesa boogie which would make a cheap guitar sound good

[benadmin]

@jeremiahtaylor601 I play some stock, and I am not a Mesa fan...

[BrianStocking]

Man...that was a lot of fantastic!

Is that a Laguna guitar?

[jeremiahtaylor601]

yup he did a review type vid on it . i have and its really versatile

[benadmin]

@BrianStocking Yes.

[bioguy501]

Unbelievable live performer. Don't miss this guy in concert. Great album called "Best Played Loud" has this song with lyrics. Really good... rockin while driving to school every day with it. (Mr. G - TVHS)

[psjmovies]

this guy is awesome

[professorT44]

the thing i like about this guy is u can tell how much he loves to play. so much passion comes thru when he plays. i dig it. And i just ordered the guitar he has and i'm super excited to get that bad boy.

[benadmin]

@professorT44 Thanks!

[guitarmanfreakdude]

he needs to tune

[Band515]

@guitarmanfreakdude i agree but live performances dont always go perfectly perfect

hes so clean though you gotta say

[benadmin]

@Band515 It was a challenge...

[fenderstrat918]

[lifeisdeath203]
