Hey @bwm5150 my brother that was freakin' beautiful man , lol what's soooo ironic about this is I was just about to cover this today which I still am , and I came across your video here , You Totally Rock Brother , were definitely 80's kids man
Say what you will, Keyboards, drum machines, whatever, but 80s artists were talented, even pop songs featured good guitar work and REAL SINGERS. the 80's ruled, period!
Well , here's a blast from the past. This song came out when I was 12. Loved it then and still do. Great tone again and again from you. It's so refreshing to listen to these older songs in a different way.
bwm5150 Thank you Ben for this phenomenal cover of the song, Great job! and thank you for taking my request to cover this heartbreaking, but hauntingly beautiful song.
Welcome to 80s! Where greatest and smooth music were produced.... Toy soldier by Martika was one of my meditation music when i was a child. Thanks for uploading it man.. 👌
1989 represented! Great song at the time. Not overly keen on the Silversun Pickups remake despite being a huge fan of Silversun. SO happy to see and hear your guitar work on the original!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi. Another Patreon here. I play guitar over a decade, but the last few weeks I have learned so much from you just by watching....amazing. Thx for all the afford you put into your work!
Awesome cover, I first heard this song around 2000 and couldn't believe that I never heard it sooner being released in the late 80s, I don't know where the Hell I was then but I must have been in a coma or something for around 10-12 years? I had been thinking about this song a lot a month or 2 ago checking out all the other covers but as far as I'm concerned this one is definitely the best. I like listening to the drum playing covers as well and the slowed down with reverb edit versions too and like to tweak the speed + or - even more to pick up every drum hit or guitar note just as the song verse tempo speeds up.
Wow man you are pretty great I originally found you off of Def Leppard covers Def Leppard is one of my favorite groups from the '80s just have to say you are one talented guitarist
this is one of the most iconic masterpiece of the 80s.. u did it as always... stunning!!... you are right.. Legget did the guitar, Greg Smith on the keyboards and produced by Michael Jay, PD. you can always leppardize it...
I love all the covers you play but my gosh. This one. THIS ONE! Did it for me. (I subbed) Yes I'm a female and I lost touch with my guitar. I miss those days 😪. I still have it, since I was 15. I'm now 38. Maybe I should pick it up and start over again. It feels like I'm going to relearn how to walk. 🙏🏼
@@bwm5150 Everything is so new. What electronics do you use? I use to use just straight AUX cable to an Amp. There are so many options today. Wow, guitar has come a long way since I picked it up.
Another 80s pop masterpiece. I love the atmospheric vibe that songs like this have. Between the keyboards and the clean guitars I don’t know which one I love more. That’s more of a reason why I’m so addicted to 80s pop in general. Once again great playing as usual.
Superb clean rhythm guitar parts and lead solo you did a great job there... always enjoy your videos.. please have a look at the great 80s clean rhythm parts in 'Higher Love' (1986) by Steve winwood there cool... thanks:)
I am excited to see what You will do next in this serie of 80's pop classics. My suggestions would be: Cock Robin "Just Around the Corner" or Climie Fisher "Love Changes Everything" I think You could add and highlight some cool guitar details to these songs. No matter what You choose, I'll look forward to it.
Thanks for the suggestions. I’ve got a lot of personal tracks I want to get through, but I’m averaging one a week so hopefully will get time for others.

yep! often times even written by the singers themselves! BY themselves!
This has always been one of my favourites. Martika doesn't get the respect she deserves. This is stellar songwriting.
That Bb in the chorus is everything 😍
Indeed. One note to possess so much emotion is almost criminal.
First time I played this song was back in 2010 on my Jackson PC1 through a Rockman. The Rockman nails this song’s tone.
Really I would love to hear you play it through the Rockman, if you can make a video of you doing it.
This atmosphere is really unique. Love this song!
True
wound up listening to this all day long .. what a gem. cried alot. the frailty of humanity. good things coming. love conquers all
🙏🏼
you listened to it all day and cried a lot?
@@hyenaswine I cried all day, all night...........all year long.
Another pearl from '80. Great mood and performance, you're the guitarist of 80 90, thank you my friend... Please don't stop you now, never
Song is from 1988.
@@thefonzkiss he meant the 80'S (with an S) lol
I always thought she was a Brit until I looked her up a while back. Being 51 this was in the wheelhouse back in the day. Nice work as usual!
OMG Ben. You did it! At last. Thank you.
Amazing! 😮
Dude, are you like some secret LA session musician?? Seriously Man! Damn your Good!! You have it all!!
He definitely could have been, in the 1980s and even 90's, without a doubt. He has that level of playing.
Well , here's a blast from the past. This song came out when I was 12. Loved it then and still do. Great tone again and again from you. It's so refreshing to listen to these older songs in a different way.
Came out in 88, i was about the same age, 14 I think. :)
The single charted in July '89 and was #1 for two weeks in front of Madonna's "Like A Prayer".
Me too, so young back then!
Really good and tasteful. Playing for the song and no overplaying.
Thanks Damm Good guitarist, there are many out there but the attention to the notes played. Straight up your a DAM good MASTER GUITARIST
Very kind, thanks!
I'm old enough to rememberwhen it originall came out and it still a cracking song today. Excellent take well done
Yet another guilty pleasure, totally on point, great stuff.........
Great song choice. Never realized how much guitar is in the song. Great job
back when number one pop hits could still have heavy guitar in it. Good old days
bwm5150 Thank you Ben for this phenomenal cover of the song, Great job! and thank you for taking my request to cover this heartbreaking, but hauntingly beautiful song.
Good song. I remember from back in the day
You're just so good, capture the spirit of every cover you do, so amazing!

This song has the spirit of the 80's. Martika's entire instrumental and voice are a masterpiece! Congratulations on the transcript!
I swear you cover my totally random, but awesome, playlist. When I saw this song, I was freaking out… Very cool.

Beautiful song Ben!!! congratulations

Another epic cover...bravo
this is one of the most iconic masterpiece of the 80s.. u did it as always... stunning!!... you are right.. Legget did the guitar, Greg Smith on the keyboards and produced by Michael Jay, PD. you can always leppardize it...
I mention in the description that I felt it didn't need Leppardized as it has cool guitar already.
I love all the covers you play but my gosh. This one. THIS ONE! Did it for me. (I subbed) Yes I'm a female and I lost touch with my guitar. I miss those days 😪. I still have it, since I was 15.

Thanks! If I can make you pick it up again, then that’s great to hear. Give it go!

Very good choice ;) one of my favorite.

Another amazing week you are killing these covers Ben 😍 beautiful job🍻 by the way nice t-shirt keep them coming your journey fan always 🌹

"You have a beautiful soul.." 👌
You play so fluidly. A flowing stream of sound. Maybe you could do Key Largo or even
Escape by Rupert Holmes.
Beautiful
very nice, i love this song... great idea in making this video.
Everything is better with that Leppardized sound, nice one 👌
Thanks, although it wasn’t my intention to Leppardize this, but to try and cover the original parts and tone.
Great guitar!
Awesomeness.
Parabéns amigo vc toca muito
This is a fantastic guitar cover
Fabulous tone 👏👏
I would be very interested in a Pink Floyd cover. Harmonics and bends would be very interesting
Classical 1980's electric guitar tone. :)
This sounds fantastic! Nice job
