[the22op]

what's the name of the intro?



[MasslRockss]

this is a really nice shape! it creates quite a unique sound and goes very well with those mini-sweep arpeggios you got on the other lesson, since its also a d-shape ...

[Fingervogel]

You remind me on Stiffler :-D

[mrq0104]

[showeraintfun]

eeeeaaaaassssyyyyy SENDING YOU TU HELL IS EASIER! thats real pro!!!! \m/

[Rockyroopam]

you look like niel patrick harris

[GuitarMage69]

sweeping isn't easy, but as far as sweeping goes, that WAS easy...

[smaratelj]

This guy owns. xD

[zachrus55]

easy? wtf

[Guitartricks]

@zachrus55 haha..good point, we should re-name this one. I can do these either. -Neal

[thetranexoner]

@Guitartricks Could you make a tutorial of the song of the intro to your video?

[Pandaeattacos]

Nice mustache. It compliments your guitar skills. xD

Wish I could grow a real one already hahahahh

[Badik9999]

Hey what's the name of the song in the beginning that u were playing ? :D Oh yeah and YOU ROCK !!!

[BenLindholm]

@Badik9999 the song doesn't have a name (yet). just something I came up with for this video. Tabs are on the main site, glad you enjoyed it!

[CapoOfficial]

@BenLindholm Could you possibly do a lesson on that riff? I love it, but I can't really get the technique for the eight note triplets.

[jokerfangwolf]

@BenLindholm what main site??????!!!! IT IS FRIGGING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

[arvincaudor]

salamat..hehe.

[AJkingofmetal]

how about a lesson on some kool legato runs??..........

[itsTHEFIREDOG]

my sweeps usually sound ok but sometimes they blend together and everything sounds too muffled together ..... i use lots of gain could that be affecting it?

[BenLindholm]

@itsTHEFIREDOG Yeah, too much gain could make everything sound too muddy. But, what kind of gain you're using plays a big part! Some distortion pedals make everything sound muddy even when set on 3-4. Other (often more expensive) distortion pedals keep the clarity and separation of the notes even when set on 10.

Of course, playing technique is the most important thing, always start slow and build up your speed. But bad distortion can definately mess up the sound.

[Guitartricks]

@muahaha393 NOOOO, I don't wanna be pwned!!

[Charleylaf]

I don't know what feeling is stronger right now... Liking this insane riff, or hating you because you can play it... and I can't ;P

[abelsbravo]

I don't want to learn how to video game sweep wtf. just teach us some sic sweeping scales. please

[BenLindholm]

@Taz8324844 Arpeggiating Chords means that you take a chord, and instead of strumming all the strings at once, you play them one at a time. If you were referring to when I say "Triad based arpeggio sweeps" in the video, this means that we take the Root, the Third and the Fifth (i.e. the Triad) and play them one at a time, but very fast. The sweeps in this lesson are not triad based, since I only used the Root and the Fifth. I don't understand what you mean by "mark a key on the guitar"?

[nornc]

Love this it has paul Gilberts octave feel

[GhostauraYamil8]

@nornc it sounds more like Steve Vai

[MrBrandonHoltBatio]

Why don't you have oyur own lesson sets?! (free) :]

[mturquie]

Those are some insane sweeps!!!

[HaruUnite]

FUCKING EPIC!! I LOVEE YOU

[DimeForeverTexas]

It's Ben "The Guitar Master" Lindholm! Great fucking job, Bro! Thanks! I'm struggling with sweep picking and economy picking right now, so this lesson is much appreciated! :D

[chedwerks]

These dudes are all so cool and direct to the point. Love Guitar Tricks

[bleakAntiquity]

been having some serious trouble with a few of the sweep shapes especially on the decent. But this looks AWESOME!

[ilikemyrealname]

Great video. Thanks

[blackblood123456]

please make a video showing how to play that awsome intro!!!

[jlhyz2]

love the intro to this one

[mjguitar6132]

Great lesson! I am going to practice those sweeps for sure!

I do have a request, though. Do you think that Ben could do a lesson showing a handful of different sweep patterns, i.e. m7, maj7, different minor and major patterns, if that makes any sense, and if Neal could do a lesson showing a handful of licks we can use in solos? Thanks.

[MuratCandogan]

Merhaba..... Man there is no word to tell how i feel appreciated. :P i guess i started to like you more than Neil, Just kidding; I love your lessons equally

best regards

[BenLindholm]

@MuratCandogan did I get the pronounciation right?

[MuratCandogan]

@BenLindholm yes, you did it very well 

[R4mms3s]

@MuratCandogan Murat kardeş şu girişte çalınan parçayı biliyormusun acaba ?

[MuratCandogan]

@R4mms3s açıklama bölümünde tablarını vermiş. Muhtemelen kendi besteleridir. :)

[R4mms3s]

@MuratCandogan anladım steve ile Yngwie solo demiş steve'in öle şarkısı yoktu da acaba Yngwie'in olabilirmi dedim nese artık sağolasın.eyw.

[AnRTPgA]

Barney Stinson is back!

[NewMetallica]

Thanks Ben! You Rock! Next time, 5 string arpeggios ?

[BenLindholm]

@NewMetallica there's a good chance that will happen, yes ;)

[NewMetallica]

@BenLindholm Hi Ben, thanks for your reply. But since you are here on Youtube, can I ask you a question ? I've actually been looking for a backing track like you play on in the beginning of this video with a piano, for that extra slow and powerful emotional soloing. Can I get that backing track somewhere ? Thanks in advance, if you would reply :-)

[dcdeal001]

yehaw guitar tricks rocks!!! or in this case .. it' se meee Mario!!!

p.s. what picks do you use?? Sry likely this is asked to you a thousand times but youtube has no coment search (or i donnot know about it)

[BenLindholm]
