My Birthday Gift to YOU! New Song Preview!!!
🕑 Added 2024-06-29 19:52:09 +0000 UTCHey y'all!!!
It's your good buddy Uncle Ben here, reporting to you from my 4th decade (okay technically 5th decade as you all have let me know I WAS HOMESCHOOLED GIVE ME A BREAK)!!! I turned 40 the other day, and I've had myself a very chill weekend (hence the lack of a new lesson today!). I've been relaxing, watching some flicks, walking the dogs with Tante Kate, and working on some music for my upcoming debut solo album. I am so pumped on how these songs are sounding, I had to give you all a little snippet! This is a segment of my song "Fathom", and I hope you all enjoy it.
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes, and for being along for the ride! Let me know if you all want more album previews as I'm fleshing these songs out and I'll get them to you!

Dude. That time signature (what is that, 10/8?) is killer and totally grooves! What a rad blend of styles and moods, too. And yes please - any and all vids re: songwriting, recording process is quite valuable to many of us, I’m sure.
Tim Radle
Great song! And - welcome to your new decade. I can tell you the water’s nice here.

Happy birthday young sir! Sample sounds great so keep us posted and perhaps you could share a video on your song writing process. Enjoy the fourth decade!!
Nathan Potter
Wow, the rhythm sound is great! Happy 40th!

That should make you even better at math than the public school kids. Happy birthday too! And the song sounds really smooth to me. Gotta say that I like what you're doing with it. God bless!
Ben Eller
The leads are fractal! Rhythm tones are blend of Synergy Morgan AC (yes really) and my Dual Rec.
Ben
Sounds like the Fractal for your guitar sound.

HB Ben! Great tune, I love Heaviness of the C tuning but it's also very melodic, sick! :) 👌🏼

Happy birthday uncle more like cousin Ben! I'm also in the 40 club. Still feel like a young shredi knight as I'm sure you do too.
Fred Raimondi
Happy Birthday Uncle Ben. You are a complete badass. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING you've taught me. So grateful. Love the new tune! I'll be first in line to buy!
Brian Newman
Happy Birthday to my favorite YouTuber! You’ve taught me, my brother and several of my friends a ton of techniques, music theory and sick licks. Keep rocking and teaching for 40 more years!

That’s some good picking right there, Ben. Happy 40th! It’s a good age for buying a sports car
Fret Level Midnight
Happy Birthday my fellow 40 year-old Cock Rocksmith. I just turned 40 myself in March, hilarious seeing someone the same age into this same stuff as me and as avid. Cheers, to many more.

Oh, and not to put too fine of a point on it, but when you hit your 40s you actually “enter” your fifth decade…you’ve done four, you start number 5…

Tidy tune... whitesnake influence sprang to mind first, then my brain went to tremonti... that can't be a bad thing. Happy birthday.
