and hence the saying "if its important to you, youll find a way. If its not youll find an excuse"

[4skyebird]

I have 2 arms, and I cant't play a lick. I'm going to show this to my hubby, who does play. He'll be awed!!! Way to go-

[KarmaKlLL]

[Dagonslayer2007o9]

[jokehim]

I had not seen this one but great yet again.

[mistalinkinparkfan87]

fucking rock and roll man \m/

[molkozero]

Pink Floyd is my favorite band, Gilmour is my biggest inspiration for my guitar technique (13 years). i think the boys from Floyd would like what you did, cheers!

[ionoeliam]

You kicked life in the fuckin' ass..

..see u down in the tube..

Hero!

[aussiesteveable]

Fantastic !

[bn0rz]

This worth more views than Justin Bieber, and every other singers that pretend to make music with fake instruments, autotune and no talent.

[ChaoticBrew]

one of the best videos i ever seen . what a performance !!

[TeezHidz]

Dream never die.

[DrewThaDruid]

Damn mann..Simply Amazing!!

[ChrisPaysCash]

WOW! :-O

[Thisismeisityou]

Take all of my money...Right now!

[epacitti10]

[msgreenbud3373]

[nwijesinghe]

[Hendrixspacemahine]

Man this made me cry, you are truly awsome

[kreep182]

shit you even nailed the pinch harmonics

[simon19942008]

Dude you're great, that was epic!

[Kanzeon87]

What you're doing is truly amazing!!! I've seen you a couple of times at Canary Wharf station when I was in London and I was so impressed! Thank you so much :-)

[rainis007]

Wow mate, this is incredibly good !

I was just lookin' for some music to listen while I study, and I typed "instrumental rock" to search, and on first page I saw this and thought to myself "oh, Comfortably Numb is a real piece of art, and listening 10 min improvisation of it would be great".So I clicked on it, turned out my computer screen, and started reading, after a while i realized, it is really good, and then I noticed, you are playing with elbow. Amazing ! You are my HERO now !!! Thank you

[Jaymel77]

I'm not going to comment on the fact that your playing with your elbow because I'm sure you have become able to do many things that you aren't showcasing on youtube. What I am gonna comment on is that this is simply flawless!!

If I listened only OR watched I'd be equally amazed.

BRAVO to you Sir!

Jay

[marcuchin96]

just when one starts to think youtube is corrupted with trolls, it is a great relief to read these kind of comments

[JackMCjacky]

I don't understand why there's no HUGE crowd standing around you!? You should be standing out there with the big ones not on the streets or at train stations! Really you're a huge talent! You're a real idol to never give up!

[MichaelDio]

i watch this video at least once a week, and always sit in awe at your talen. when someone tells me i can't or i'm not good enough, i think of you, and i know i can. and if i can't i'll still try

[Danaylesworth]

I love the great comments...how could you not agree fully! Question!

Sweet picking = magic?

[CarlosRex19]

Awesome man..your guitar solo is much better than anyone with both arms..Greetings from Perú.

[Kenon51]

the best man guitar!!! MUITO FÓDA, GRANDE EXEMPLO

[shefow]

Oh... congratulations!!

[andythrash]

wow man im amazed! I would definetly play horribly in public but you executed this flawlessly and in your own style!!!

[ericpeacock79]

how could this possibly get a single dislike?

that was f'n amazing!

the guitar playing is spectacular, regardless of hand count!

this is SO going on my mp3 player!

thanks for this song :)

[KelmerRocks]

Days ago I was saying I wouldn't stop playing guitar even if I lost my arms, with your videos I'm glad that would never be an obstacle to someone who has had an accident. Keep on playing, your videos are truly inspirational.

[xPopkins]

O.O Amazing...

I love you man !

[Narza85]

Take it a little slower, like Gilmour. Chill a little bit. Thats more like Van Halen, not Pink Floyd.

But still very impressive.

[laguero99]

i dont have words.... you are just too amazing. i love it, i really love it.

[masterOfmuppteZ]

Dude, did you just sweep pick? YOU'RE AMAZING!!!!! truly inspiring bro :)

[UltraVioletMan1984]

@masterOfmuppteZ Indeed I did. Thank you - Benjamin

[maratt123]

Truly inspiring!!! You kept playing through adversity when I nearly quit because of slight discouragement... Thank you for sharing this video, you have changed my mentality and inspired me to keep trying no matter what.

[elisdewaard1]

[jamescavallin]

@Kyd0x im starting to wonder myself now that i have seen this video if i could really play in the first place... amazing...

[professeurbeloeil]

[DeathtoAntarctica]

Love it but have you ever tried a bass? I know guitar is cooler and harder but a bass dose sound pretty cool and you could make it sound awesome

[light487]

Hehe.. get a fender for Floyd stuff.. or at least some single coil pickups.

I like the phrasing in this.. would like to hear this done in the studio though. :)

Good stuff.

[rottencranberry]

[jamefordlives]

[blockthisuser]

i like the way fat obeese people pass by dont giving a shit, on they way to the next hamburger, their rush for a stroke is what makes this world grey and unentertaining.

[chestermoc07]

THATS VERY MOTIVATIONAL

[chestermoc07]

FUCKING ONE ARMED GUITAR MASTER!!!!!!!!

[Alejandro1313sixx]

Play Technical Difficulties by Paul Gilbert! : D

[arming94]

me pregunto como lo aria sino tuviera la izquierda

[terotele]

@arming94 me pregunto como escribirias un comentario si tuvieras cerebro xD

[arming94]

@terotele la interrogativa q ise fue xq e visto muchisimos guitarristas sin la derecha pero no sin la izquierda, no lo dije x el echo de ofender xcierto tu chiste q no es gracioso es tan tonto q demuestras q tu eres el q no tiene cerebro pero me reire no de tu chiste sino de ti jajaja hai q tener buen sentido del humor y no ser amargado como tu =)

[hbunnyo]

How do you pinch harmonic? I can't even do that with fingers. Now not to bash on about you having a disability etc this is good playing without a doubt. It's not a disability because it doesn't affect the way you play guitar it seems. Bottom line. It's just good playing. I enjoyed it anyway.

[crawling211]

good job <3

[JosueAlba]

8 persons has ear illness . You are fking outstanding man!

[dimezakkrandy]

I can't even do that with both hands.

[guitarmastar]

I like your batman shirt :) good job by the way. You are extremely talented.

[tbear116]

its amazing how you can turn a disability into an ability

[irndeath]

this guy could take my guitar skills and beat me to death with them.....good job keep it up!

[FullDarkGear]

at first i thought it was a midget plyin when i clicked on the vid because of the pic but just out curiosity where you just born like that plz don't hate i just wanna know plus your fuckn good

[chazdaspazman]

very kewl Benjamin =) \mm chaz likes. How long have you Beenjamin man lol, you rock dude?

[SomeonePleaseShootMe]

no words....just awesome

[elok92]

FTW!

[fatsuperfly]

a lil bit more shreddy but still sounds badass

[therealpgdarthnick]

you NEVER cease to amaze me, man. and because it's FLOYD, i love you even more now :D.

[rhcpppP]

THANKS FOR SHOW EVERYBODY THAT ALL IS POSIBLE!

[killbilly069]

Awesome!



[bygota]

wow!!!!!!!!!!

[AndyRitchiesbestbud]

You are an inspiration. Full stop.

[guzziman96]

6:30 God....it is real? i love you !

[wickedslash009]

im speechless

[Outdorphin]

I'm actually so unbelivably impressed :o

[TasteForDisaster]

would of sounded cooler on a fender, but if it suits your needs/style, then good job!

[KrimeMater]

Ewww is that an Ibanez ;)

[Bassstringz]

Great stuff !

But please... buy a Fender

[Uberado]

That was amazing..... Dude you kick so much ass on so many levels...... Not only was that beautifully played, but it was VERY inspiring! One of my Grandma's best freinds is planning on giving up Piano because he's trying blind. He can still see to a degree, and is street legal, but he can't read music, and so plans to give up piano. In hopes that this will inspire him to never quit being a great musician no matter what,'m gonna show him it!

Never stop rockin man! You're absolutely amazing! \m/

[quincy90444]

I can't believe how people are just walking by as if your not even there. What the hell is wrong with them?

[FoundationsofPause]

@quincy90444 yeah i know if this was my subway I would be late for work and miss the train, and all my single dollar bills would disappear.

[racxrock]

Cool ! :)

[majorIP]

incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alessmacri]

u are an hero! go straight and teach!

regards

[anhkhoamario]

5 people think dislike button is "dis I like"

[madsere]

What can I saw? Wow!



[oliverandm]

@madsere

You can saw wood

[madsere]

@oliverandm

Funny, of course it was meant to read "what can I say" ;)

[Turdhut]

This guy is awesome!

[Charvel2Fender]

Not to sound demeaning but I'm proud of you for doing such shit with what you got going on.

[Charvel2Fender]

thats definitely cool. 

[WizArtemisos]

im really happy for you dude..

[JayGOS117]

This is as bad as f@*k, Ben.

Really, something awesome.

J

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII have become, comfortably numb...

[Hitchmeister]

Fuck.Me.

Awesome man!

[larryoduncan]

that was fantastic.... if I were blind i would still think its fantastic... way to show out, way to overcome your physical disability and absolutely blow us all away! Cheers to you!!!! keep on keeping on!

[StoneMonkey1119]

I hope it's not offensive to say I am really amazed that you can pull off such perfect pinch harmonics.

[MyBalls1nUrMouth]

damn now i know i really suck! this guy is SICK :D

[darksidetechinc]

GOD BLESS YOU

[shuszzam]

suuuwwwweeeet!

[CHICKENSNIFFER17]

sounds like his guitar is slightly out of tune but a class performance all the same

[essa8abbas]

you fucking rock sir .

[UltraVioletMan1984]

FYI, the reason it's abit more aggressive/uptempo/shreddy/men­tal than PF/DG version is pretty much because I wanna make the song my own, sotospeak, as oppose to emulating Gilmour's sound/playing, although I at times do play it the traditionally epic blues way, this particular day just so happened to be a shredtastic day. - Benjamin.

P.S: Pink Floyd > Alot of bands.

[JDrockerDUDE]

@UltraVioletMan1984 hey man y our good. what do you pick wiht? im just curious.

[PortalRealm]

AMAZING MORE PINK FLOYD!!!!!!!

[moss1transcendant]

just passing by again. nice playing bud.

does that ibanez have the ZR trem? i cant quite make it out.

looks a bit like a s series 520, i have that guitar, the thing never goes out of tune but the trem does suck tone .

but they sustain forever !!

[LowStackTom]

you´re a great busker, mate!

just 2 things irritate me a bit:

1. you should get more drops

2. isn´t your version just a tiny bit uptempo? ... nevermind, maybe i´m just a bit drunk and nit-picking ;)

ps: if i´m ever lucky enough to hear u play live i´ll drop a big banknote with a big smile in your hat ... :))

[akiladehan]

shmexy 

[gludeklis]

huge respect, dude.

love the song choice.

[supermaniaguitarman]

god he has more talent in his half-arm than i do in my entire body. keep going man!

[LongHerewego]

OMG You Are Awesome!!

[micmoable]

Go for it, Ultra V man

[aGuy]

Man, that's some sweet playin'!!

[dreadly101]

Mate thats beautiful all the way from Australia! If id been walking past id had have and withdrawn $100 from an atm for ya! Put up a PAYPAL link :)

[swinewarrior]

way to go man

[Jmyster4]

i would be scared to arm wrestle you with your armputated arm, by the amount you must have to work that thing.

[THEk1nslayer]

if i saw this guy playing in a mall id have to see if he was actually playing... if seeing he was legit i'd prolly want to shake is good arm... people just walk by.. not even interested. =x people suck. but this guy could out suck them if he wanted to, 1 armed.

[mtpietron]

such a champion

[sup1345]

solo ruined it for me

[kammhron]

Way to go dude! very cool . 

[music87wch]

You wouls still be amazing even if you had both arms

[Xetronlol]

you are a genius

[anhkhoamario]

I love you so so much man :D

[madferny]

Wow this is great, just don't stop playing & u will soon be on the tonight show or something.

[wayno800]

That was awesome!!! great video..i'd like to see you do "Shine on you crazy diamond"..that would be cool..great video..loved it and sharing it with my friends

[valerieminerva]

Amazing Babe, can see why you're so tired when you come home <3

[SquierGuy2]

its takes balls to play by yourself, props man

[taccun]

The only thing that sucks about this is that even though is pretty good, if he ever got famous or anything, the arm would be the thing that people think about when thinking about him.

[yadrummer11]

@taccun but thats whats so great about him, that he can overcome his disability and SHRED

[noizyme]

Your technique is great, and you showed a lot of heart, especially in the middle of the Subway, but that tone is a bit harsh to continually listen to, and I feel it was played a little too aggressively for the song. Just my personal feelings on the performance, but keep doing what you do.

[mus3f0rliv3]

im drifting away with the music. awsome.

[JamMen1955]

Never ceases to amaze me...here this guy is playing his heart out and a lot of people are just walking by

[Seledin16]

I am a huge fan and guitarist influenced by Pink Floyd.

To play in David Gilmour's style, you must have a really great feel, especially to the left hand. Vibrato, bends, and the feel in long phrased notes.

But I have to say, you did it really great in your own way.

Keep rocking and never stop, remember.

Hope one day you will be an inspiration for many guitarists. Many luck!

[trav1333]

Awesome man an inspiration for sure.

[IgnizFury]

o.O

Awesome!

...and your guitar is beautifull! x3

[Nowimlaughingloud]

Never give up. Man, you're fantastic.

[Nowimlaughingloud]

Never give up. Man, you're fantastic.

[acdcfan300]

wow dude, no words can say how amazing you are...

[Veggie449]

This is the perfect example of never give up.

[c4662]

that is so amazing dude

i also did a guitar cover of the same song

check it out

[loch70]

Amazing!!!. Love this song.
