Thank you. You’ve made me smile for the first time in 7 months. Been battling depression and this was instant relief. Your song / riff choice was bang on. Special thanks for the Sykes tribute at the end.
I know it's a Jake E Lee amp, and you did right by throwing in Bark at the Moon, but ending with John Sykes - Bad Boys, Cryin' in the Rain, was next level 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Love the JEL-50. Sounds amazing. Have an original BE-100 and never get rid of it. It does everything in spades. The Friedman stuff sounded great when bought. The original BE-100 was what made the choice. It is a great amp. A lot more kids in JEL.
18 and Life Riff. I watched the other your interview with Scotti Hill. Was great. Also I had asked you a few weeks ago on instagram a question about holding the pick with 3 fingers. Thanks for your answer. It gave me confidence about improving the way I play without trying to change the way I hold the pick. Cheers.
Uncle Ben, awesome showing of your chops and the awesome Friedman JEL-50 head!!! This is what I could figure out....but missed a few. My favs were the Sykes stuff at the end 👍🏽 1. Joe Satriani - Always With Me, Always With You 2. Skid Row - 18 and Life 3. ??? - ??? 4. Michael Jackson - Rock With You 5. Little River Band - Reminiscing 6. ??? - ??? 7. Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak 8. Guns n Roses - Mr Brownstone 9. Kansas - Carry On My Wayard Son 10. Van Halen - You Really Got Me 11. Britny Fox - Girls School 12. Cinderella - Gypsy Rose 13. Van Halen - I'm the One 14. Van Halen - Runnin' with the Devil 15. Jake E Lee - Bark at the Moon 16. Lourness - Crazy Nights 17. Steve Vai - Erotic Nightmares 18. Ratt - Round and Round 19. David Lee Roth - Just Like Paradise 20. ??? - ??? 21. Ratt - Lay It Down 22. Extreme - Lil' Jack Horny 23. King's X - Dogman 24. Whitesnake - Judgement Day 25. Whitesnake - Bad Boys 26. Whitesnake - Cryin' in the Rain
Uncle Ben can play more songs than I can name. I definitely heard Rock with You followed by Reminiscing played on the american strat. I caught about 10 seconds of Jail Break on the Les Paul, Carry on, Wayward Son into You Really Got Me on the white Jackson, I'm the One and Running with the Devil on the blue guitar on Channel 2. Bark at the Moon on the red Jackson, Round and Round on the Jem, Now here's Lay it Down on the Suhr.... and that's about all I know. I be a lot of those were 80s hair and in the Skank Banger repertoire.
I love that Loudness riff. I use to see them in Southern California. Like the Country Club in Reseda for example. I really like there older stuff before they got signed in United States. Go listen to the song "Esper". It is super bad ass
I have the JEL 20 and I got to say one of the best tones on that amp (and the one I look most forward to using when I gig) is the plexi channel with the gain knob dimed and the front end being boosted by a Buxom Boost or a Golden Pearl. Hearing you basically doing the same thing with the JEL 50 had me nodding my head and saying “he understands!” Plenty of gain for 80’s rock in that setting.
Was pretty cool hearing some Cinderella and Britney Foxx in there too! Growing up around them in the Philly/Jersey clubs. And some Loudess also! ←it's one of my ring tones 😂
@ you started with lower output, worked your way up to the Jackson’s and there is just way too much fur for me at the end. I’ve never liked it despite being the fan I am. Best tone I ever got was a cranked Full Shred into my Mesa rig. I hit hard, I don’t need the pickups and pedals to catch it up. It’s not a criticism of your choices etc. You just grok what the originals did 😂 I think the suhr black satin was the limit.
Really wasn't trying to hear and appraise the amp, just listening to a sh!t load of my favourite riffs!!! AND as I write this you break out the LP Custom and fire off into my favourite of all ' BAD BOYS'. Sykes writes some BAD ASS riffs
Sorry i cut to the high gain with bad monkey section, you didn't disappoint with your song selection, your face playing bad boys tells me where your heart really lies!
Funnily enough my strat knockoff is what I use to push my Ir -J. It has great cleans but its extremly hot. Its like 9 decibels more output than my EVH wolfgang. And while audibly that may not seem like much in terms of signal thats pretty wild.

Happy to help, man
@@BenEller The coolest uncle out there!
Uncle Ben has almost every USA guitar known to man but still refuses to upgrade his camera to 4k 😂 the mark of a real guitarist ❤️
Hahahaha
F-cking great guitar playing Ben! Loved all these amzing riffs perfectly executed!
Thanks a ton!
Even this old school metalhead recognizes and loves that Little River Band jam
This Friedman JEL 50 is the best sounding Friedman so far IMO.
Aint nothing making grumpy uncle Ben smirk like the swaggy groovy simplicity of She Is Beautiful. What a heartthrob
What a treat REMINISCING so many of my favorite riffs!
Uncle Ben has all sorts of chops!!!
Tastier than his microwaveable rice
🤘🏽⚡️Great demo Ben ⚡️🤘🏽
5:00 Carry on wayward son - Kansas, 5:35 You really got me - Van Halen / The Kinks, 8:25 Bark at the moon - Ozzy
I loved every minute of it ! I hope the neighbors did too !!
Awesome job! Man I love RATT Warren and Robin have so many awesome riffs. Anyway thanks for making feel like a kid again
Yes brought back some memories when Ben broke out into round and round. Might be time to do a RATT compilation, bahahahahaaaaa
12:01 “Lay it Down” Ratt
The sound was so perfect for this riff!
EPIC!! Great riffs and execution. The Skid Row 18 & Life part is my personal favorite part.
Dude that steely dan ❤
05:58 Brytny Fox riff yeah! 09:10 Loudness riff 10:40 Andrew W K "she is beautiful"
You like great stuff!
Great job!! Especially like that you played Loudness! Bonus points for She Is Beautiful!
You have great taste!!
Glad to hear some Loudness.
This was super fun, Uncle Ben!🎸⚡️🤘
This video is nice. Ben's playing is nice. Darla is very nice.
Sounds bad ass
4th time watching, just to see Darla...
I really think this would make a cool series to just run through all your cool amps and riff
Wow, wasn't expecting to hear some Loudness Riffs, Kudos man!
I’m stoked you caught it!
13:38. Exactly!!!
Oh yeah! Carry on Wayward Son!! Loved hearing that again!
I know it's a Jake E Lee amp, and you did right by throwing in Bark at the Moon, but ending with John Sykes - Bad Boys, Cryin' in the Rain, was next level 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
8:28 “Bark at the Moon” Ozzy
Reminiscing by Little River Band, You've out done yourself Uncle Ben !!
It has to be at least 25 yrs since I last heard it and I knew it right away. I wonder if that's in the yacht rock gig rotation?
You beg!!! A little LRB never hurt nobody!
You played great stuff I grew up with as an 80s kid. All the great hair metal. Thanks brother!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@ always a pleasure to hear you tear up my favorite players!
Oh lawd, them tones! Across the board (PUN INTENDED), every guitar sounded amazing!
Love the JEL-50. Sounds amazing. Have an original BE-100 and never get rid of it. It does everything in spades. The Friedman stuff sounded great when bought. The original BE-100 was what made the choice. It is a great amp. A lot more kids in JEL.

Thank you!!
1:18 - “18 & Life” by Skid Row
Winner!
Incredible demo Uncle Ben - always love the variety of styles to really showcase an amp.
Thanks man! When the amp is capable of so much totally, you gotta play stuff that shows it off!
Uncle Ben can play more songs than I can name.
I definitely heard Rock with You followed by Reminiscing played on the american strat.
I caught about 10 seconds of Jail Break on the Les Paul, Carry on, Wayward Son into You Really Got Me on the white Jackson, I'm the One and Running with the Devil on the blue guitar on Channel 2.

and that's about all I know. I be a lot of those were 80s hair and in the Skank Banger repertoire.
Little River Band - Reminishing.
Great playing and demo
:42 "Always with you always with me" Satriani
I like how you were playing crazy nights by Loudness that’s a pretty cool tune
hearing LRB makes be me think of a Prius...LOL
14:59 Watched all of it. ✅
Nice!
0:42 joe satriani- always with me, always with you. Severly underrated
That tone from the LP Custom was dripping with awesome sauce ❤🤘🤩🎸🧨🧨🧨🚀💰
Great to finish with some Whitesnake, they rock. I would love to see you break down some Boston stuff also.
5:38 “You Really Got Me” Van Halen (also the Kinks)
aaahhh the soothing sounds of yacht rock!
The Gibson custom both Jackson’s all Ibanez and the Shur modern’s were my favorites! This video was fukn awesome 🤟🏻
"Up to my neck in you"
I love that Loudness riff. I use to see them in Southern California. Like the Country Club in Reseda for example. I really like there older stuff before they got signed in United States. Go listen to the song "Esper". It is super bad ass
9:07 Loudness!
Tasty, especially the John Sykes.
Thumbs up for the look at 13:38.
I would love to see a guitar collection video plz!
Little River Band! Classic!
Very nice work Uncle Ben! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Uncle Ben knows best!
Well worth listening to, cheers Ben 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
LOUDNESS
I have the JEL 20 and I got to say one of the best tones on that amp (and the one I look most forward to using when I gig) is the plexi channel with the gain knob dimed and the front end being boosted by a Buxom Boost or a Golden Pearl. Hearing you basically doing the same thing with the JEL 50 had me nodding my head and saying “he understands!” Plenty of gain for 80’s rock in that setting.
Isn’t it sick?!
@ BTW, your vid on the JEL 20 was the main reason I bought it. Great job on it.
Fantastic playing,Mr Eller.
Hitting all the right spots there fella. Still waiting for your John Sykes solo🤨.😆👍🏻
I geeked out when you played Girlschool!!
Was pretty cool hearing some Cinderella and Britney Foxx in there too! Growing up around them in the Philly/Jersey clubs. And some Loudess also! ←it's one of my ring tones 😂
The last 2 Whitesnake sections were killah. Would love a video just about those and how you setup the amp for that sound etc etc.
The lead tone with the ibanez jem77 was the best in the whole video imo, i should have one haha
You should have one!
Great job, man!
My stepmom can’t shut up about your finger technique!
Friedman- sounds just like paradise 😎👍🇺🇸
Holy cow. I will forever be on team medium output pickups… this video just proves they sound better.
Which ones in particular did you like?
@ you started with lower output, worked your way up to the Jackson’s and there is just way too much fur for me at the end. I’ve never liked it despite being the fan I am. Best tone I ever got was a cranked Full Shred into my Mesa rig. I hit hard, I don’t need the pickups and pedals to catch it up.
It’s not a criticism of your choices etc. You just grok what the originals did 😂 I think the suhr black satin was the limit.
1:34 is that Pixies - Where is my mind?
Dam, loved the Vai/Whitesnake Judgement Day riff!
Thanks for playing some sophisticated clean chords/songs. I hate it when guitarists play GCD all day in the first position; it's a ton of crap.
Really wasn't trying to hear and appraise the amp, just listening to a sh!t load of my favourite riffs!!! AND as I write this you break out the LP Custom and fire off into my favourite of all ' BAD BOYS'. Sykes writes some BAD ASS riffs
Sounds amazing and looks cool
Moar like these please! Much appreciation for playing BAtM like JEL does, kudos
Sorry i cut to the high gain with bad monkey section, you didn't disappoint with your song selection, your face playing bad boys tells me where your heart really lies!
Funnily enough my strat knockoff is what I use to push my Ir -J. It has great cleans but its extremly hot. Its like 9 decibels more output than my EVH wolfgang. And while audibly that may not seem like much in terms of signal thats pretty wild.
Jake E Lee would approve 🤘🏼
Monsterous sound!
Wow! Nice demo.
Thank you! Cheers!
I waited for that bad boys riff and that face!
Sounds gr8 b!
All of them sound amazing with your skill uncle ben nothing but the best 💯🤘🏻🏆🎸🔥💣💪
Always gotta end on some Sykes!!!!
Sounds like a plexi with overhaul and upgraded balls
8:20 “Running with the Devil” Van Halen
I love this amp.
Your Eddie swing-fu has improved to an epic level.
Why thank you!
What is that opening track? Killer, and where can I buy it?
It’s from my Bogner Uberschall demo video I did a couple months back!
