Happy New Year’s bro. I have a request for 2025 I like to practice my electric scales and speed without hooking to an amp. So with that said Can you make a video showing good set ups on amps to help get that proper tone for practicing? For instance, not too much reverb not too much distortion not too affects Not to laugh Setups to make your hands relax as you practice these scales to get fast. It would even be cool to see you play some fast scales without the amp on. Hope you can make this happen. Thanks bro.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thanks Ben. Here’s to 2025. 🥂🍾

Thanks Ben! You made me a better shredder last year and I’m looking forward to being even more better this year! The last lesson on the list changed my life last year. I can’t believe I’ve been playing for 40+ years and never figured that out. Worth every penny for just that one lesson!

Happy New Year Uncle Ben! Excellent video for getting me even more motivated for my guitar playing in 2025. Lot of goodies. As for learning whole songs I am working on a, according to my opinion at least, heavy metal masterpiece: Invincible Shield by Judas Priest. That song’s got everything in shredding. And when it comes to favourite solo parts that I would like to know how to play, I still want you to help me decipher what Kee Marcello does in the fast climb 2min44sec into the song Ready or Not by Europe. Thanks in advance! 😉 Cheers!

Happy New Year Uncle Ben !! I made some good progress last year thanks to your channel, (and thanks to Troy Grady's CTC channel/website). I plan to become an even more betterer shredderer this year! I have to say, I'm super jealous of that "Specific Ocean" Jackson that keeps showing up in your videos. I was all set to buy one back in November and then my car crapped out on me and the repairs ate into my gear budget. Anyway, thanks for all you do !

Thank you for your great lessons! When bending, I’ve gotten into the habit of using my index finger to cover or mute the two strings above, while also muting as usual with my picking hand. Is this a good technique, or could it become a problem for me in the long run?

Hey Uncle Ben! Newbie stepdad here. Resolved to undo all the guitar playing badness I’ve accumulated over many, many, many many years. Yup I’m old but undaunted to learn to shred before the good Lord takes me home to the big Studio in the sky. Thanks for the great lessons making me more better. Wish me luck. I’m gonna need it.
