Wonderful melody. Celebrating the phrasing of Larry Carleton and then some.

[@beneunson]

Thanks so much for listening!

[@jazzercaster4749]

This has strong 90s sitcom intro vibes, very nice!

[@beneunson]

Thanks for listening!

[@michelrigaud9552]

très impressionnant ! j'adore ce morceau de musique. Merci et bravo pour ce joli moment de guitare et de musique.

[@beneunson]

Thank you so much for listening!

[@Aerlioz]

The melody is beautiful. The solo is of highly intellectual choices and perfect in every way. To see that its a single… im blown away that it is ONE song only. I love it. It gives me peace, motivation and inspiration.
Coming from some one who played guitar for 15 years in a small music career of 3.5 years.
This song motivates me to begin where i left off due to work and life.

[@beneunson]

I really appreciate it, thank you!

[@ryanrepaianakjefri163]

I am currently obsessed with this 80's session type of sound. The electronic drums, electric piano, and your guitar playing are all amazing 🏖😎

[@beneunson]

Thanks!

Have you ever heard Reb Beach's fusion demos? This song and the lyrical theme really remind me of that.

[@OGokanian999]

Nice😮

[@beneunson]

Thanks!

[@anon8007]

Can someone recommend some 80s / 90s bands who made music like this? Been listening to this a lot, looking for more music like this. The synths, the jazz chord changes, the sitcom-y intro vibes.
EDIT: Oh, and great job Ben :) Already transcribed 1:40-2:20, my favorite section!

[@hanskorn]

Check out The Rippingtons, Spyro Gyra, Yellowjackets, Pieces of a Dream, T-Square, and Casiopea.

[@jasa4176]

Frank gambale ?

[@HumblyQuestioning]

Four Play is a bit like this but this is pretty unique

[@user-oy4oy4us8j]

Uzeb, trio from Montréal. Check out one of their last concert live 1991.

Thanks Ben for this great compo :)

[@jennastarar]

Daryl Stuermer has quite alot of albums like this, and some Norman Brown! :)

[@aelmorky]

Wow this is so mid 80s music! Totally dig this, plus the video is spot on 80s with that stop stop images. Amazing!

[@beneunson]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@aelmorky]

@@beneunson to be honest, after watching your vid last year. It helped me decide to go for the AZES. Thanks brother! You’re such and inspiration. Cheers!

[@beneunson]

@@aelmorky I'm so glad to hear it! Thanks for letting me know 😀

[@aelmorky]

@@beneunsonand until now if I need inspiration I go back and watch this vid of yours. ;) such an uplifting music. Looking forward to more of your music. Cheers!

[@beneunson]

@@aelmorky Thank you so much, that's fantastic! More new music on the way soon 😀

[@Shashli4ok]

Beautyful music! Your shirt reminds me John Petrucci Ibanez.😅👌👌👌

[@beneunson]

Thank you so much for listening!

[@legrompf]

Ben, so great ! can you tell what happened at 2:24 ? Pleaassse !!!

[@beneunson]

Thanks so much! It's a secret!! 😂

[@stevepittelli5911]

I want the backing track to this so bad

[@JerryT21]

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@beneunson]

😀

[@channelname7349]

Tab please, Also watching you play this made me jump on the purchase for the AZES31 in Ivory, just looks too dang good.

[@beneunson]

Thanks so much for checking this out!

[@babassealtidor8845]

Awesome your tone is incredible what pedal are you using

[@WickBeavers]

sounds like Smokey's in the house!

[@thestratman7903]

Great tune!
I've been interested in this guitar for economic reasons....Is the neck/middle humbucker(Series?usable as a humbucker tone?

[@beneunson]

Thanks so much! Yes that pickup setting works great, you can hear me using it here: ruclips.net/video/l4GniRxfQX0/видео.html

[@thestratman7903]

Thanks for that! It DOES sound like a pretty convincing humbucker tone. I like a nice semi chunky neck being a strat/jazzbox guy and it looks to be substantial enough? You've also got me interested in you AM-153 Artstar as I like the 335 type sound but not the HUGE flat body...Have you seen that new AMH90? Same shape as the AM-153 but totally hollow..If so, have you tried one?@@beneunson

[@tomminpiirtamo6366]

Great playing style😎🇫🇮👍🏻. And the Ibanez look really great and sound nice, but it may be so expensive??🤔

[@beneunson]

Thanks so much for watching! Yes, this is on the Ibanez AZES which is a more budget-friendly (but excellent) model

[@TheRealCharlieDays]

incredible theme! Ben, what camera do you use for your videos, a hug!!!

[@beneunson]

Thank you so much! I'll talk about cameras/gear in an upcoming video! 😀

[@chewoo69]

Great, superb ! Pedalboard , rig specs?

[@beneunson]

Thanks! Updated gear video coming soon!

[@oscarortegamusic]

80's Frank Gambale vibes 😅

[@beneunson]

Thanks for checking it out, Oscar!

[@Name-el9ps]

You’ve gotten more soulful. Miles Davis WOULD like this.

[@beneunson]

I appreciate it, thanks so much for listening!

[@DVDFRMN]

remind me of Guthrie

[@ahmedcaballero3383]

Tabs? :(

[@beneunson]

Coming soon! 😀

[@beneunson]

thanks Sean!

[@lipanmesh]

Beautiful! Wonderful tone!!

[@beneunson]

Thanks Ray!

[@lipanmesh]

Thank You!

[@ecastag]

At last! A little bit of overdrive and some bends!
Ben Genius!
I was expecting this, more dirty sound and other phrases. It would be tremendous if you upload some impros on common progressions.

[@beneunson]

Thank you so much! More videos to come!

[@ecastag]

@@beneunson It's really outstanding your playing.
