Uncle Ben! Awesome video! Question for you, do you prefer the Fishman Moderns over the Classics (or any of the signature sets, if you've tried those)?

Mike Wisgi

This was just the inspiration I needed for a song I was struggling to write a riff for 🤘🤘🤘

Joe McKenna

Sick vid once again unc

Michael Tuggey

I wish someone would have explained this too me years ago. The breaking it apart thing. Thanks Ben!

Samir A

I tried the AAAB routine with my stepmom last night. She liked it very nice

Snake

Maybe sprinkle a little bit of theory into your videos, the musical term for this is form.

Marty

This is exactly the explanation I needed to help tighten up my riffs. I will see what I can put together cause I've been wanting to learn to write better guitar parts. Hell I even went and bought a bass and learned to play that before I tried this ABAB stuff.

Thank you for proving my point re its fans

Anthony Reid

You always put out content that I didn't realize I needed. This is solid gold, Uncle Ben!

Hey now, I'd say Kirk is a couple of tiers above Satriani, at least on the first four Metallica records. Maybe not technically, but a lot of Kirk's playing on those records is so full of energy and passion and creativity and it really punches you in the face. Satriani is very skilled obviously, but he has never stirred a single emotion for me, not even made me nod along.

Looks like I need to break out my fish man, but will ignore the lo-pro 🤘🤘 Reminded me that I really need to play some more of the band that got me into metal in the first place. Thanks Uncle Ben 🤘

I can’t get into their stuff. It’s just boring and maybe I could deal with that if their fans weren’t the biggest tools in the world. Also Kirk hammet should’ve paid more attention learning from Satriani.

Sole Doubt

To me the band stops with the black album. Anything after that is a clone or something.

Sole Doubt

As much as I give modern Metallica a hard time they are responsible for me even picking up the guitar in the late 80s. I wanted to play killer riffs and the rest is history. Thanks for the upload Uncle Ben.

I learned that you don’t step in the pyro. I also learned that it is acceptable to have trash cans for a drum kit. I’m gonna refrain from comments about Lars before I get in trouble for being un-pc Sorry will never be a Metallica fan.
