Hi Ben Please do something from TnT! A lesson on the opening riff, chorus and solo from Caught between the tigers, perhaps? Would be awesome, Ronni Le Tekrø is a legend 🤘🏻
Your absolutely correct sir!! LID is one of the great guitar riffs, and not just in the "hair metal" category, in all categories! Ratt was no joke buddy. Sean Black
Totally nailed it. Almost impossible for me to play correctly. That stretch is something else, I was front row in front of Warren and he played that exactly as you did. Thanks Ben.
It is hard at first. I've worked on it for a few days and I've got it down its just the tempo. I drag a little by myself. That solo is blues/metal bliss though.
I remember exactly where I was when I heard this song for the first time back in 1985... They were at the top of their game on Invasion of Your Privacy IMO!
Steven Hatfield me too! I remember being in my Oldsmobile, a hot summer day, just got my pioneer stereo installed, I cranked it all the way down the highway!
I saw them on Star Search and told my little brother the guitar players were amazing but they'll never go anywhere with a name like RATT :D Luckily I was wrong, they won Star Search and the rest is history :)
Zombie Machinery Glam and hair metal/rock had some of the most ridiculous guitar playing ever (including the obscure Pantera!). I hated the overall music, but holy cow, those guys could straight up shred!
Crazy Nights by Loundness. I played it wrong for years and then watched a lesson on YT a few years ago and it sounds a little better now. I still don't think I'm 100% album correct. Easy riff and sounds so cool!!!!
Dude! I’ve never seen anyone play this song at all. My old band used to cover it in the early 90’s because I love that riff so much. Other players were gob smacked by the stretches. 😆 I loved playing the solo too. When it was new in the 80’s and I was around 11 or so I had to figure it out before the Mtv video was over. I recorded it the next time it was on (VHS 😆) and loved cranking it up. Dimartini is 1 of my old favs. Round an round is also killer of course. *Thanks for this man.* It was fun playing this riff again after all these years. 🤘🏻😆🤟🏻
Great job on this one. I wasn't much of a glam/hair metal fan, was more of a thrash metal fun, but I always admired Warren Dimartini. He was a monster on the guitar along with George Lynch.
I’m late to the party but it’s good to finally see this song being played correctly. I learned this song way back when the album came out and you’re right, that stretched chord is a hand-killer. But Warren plays it like it’s “normal” 😂
RC32 oh it was well known and respected as “the riff” to learn back in the 80’s. Not really under rated as neither was Warren DeMartini. May be a lil more obscure for 20’s and younger folks
@@msw812 Exactly. Also every other guitar/rock/80s channel features this riff nowadays. And that whole RUclips buzz made me dig out my old Ratt albums and i gave'em a listen for the first time since the early 90s. Back then i was more into the more blunt Motley Crue or the glamorous Poison/Warrant thing but nowadays i really came to like the timeless streamlined elegance of Ratt. Great band!
BZA - The cool thing in Round And Round is that the opening chord in the riff is an Em [as the vi chord], and at the end of the riff it resolves to an E [as a major (I) chord]; ...such a cool riff.
Yeah, and find me another 80s rock song that has C#11 chord in it's main riff. It was probably meant to be an obvious Unchained ripoff, but changed into something totally jazzy in the process. The circular progression/riff really fits in with the lyrics.
Used to play this song in cover bands when it came out. Believe it or not, the "Guitar for the practicing musician" magazine had it right back then. Nice work my man.
INDEED!! Robbin would be getting high as hell with a few BITCHES!! and still know how to play. What a talent he was and the guys just walked away from him in the end of his life. He was the band called RATT. Not many really recall that.
Robbin had the most influence on the EP and Out of The Cellar album. But pretty much from Invasion of Your Privacy, and onward. It was basically all Warren. Robbin was getting less and less involved as his addictions worsened.
@@dante8227 Yep, Warren is one of the best guitarist I've ever heard...I still listen to all of the Ratt tunes today off and on. There was a ton of guitarists that were exceedingly good back then and Warren DeMartini, George Lynch, Jake E Lee were the major inspirations for me and also for fellow guitarists in my travels as I played gig after gig in a local cover band all over Atlanta. Warren Demartini was a big deal. A company was selling instructional cassette tapes called "Learn to Burn" where all of Warren's guitar parts were played at speed and with normal phrasing as an example and then broken down, slowed down and played in small sections....The tapes were constructed and narrated by Warren himself. This is where I learned many of his guitar solos. It pieced up into sections and slowed down A LOT so that it was easy to learn it by ear and memorize it. The huge challenge was getting the speed and phrasing right while getting it also cleanly.
Might be the right way to play it, but I'll do it the easy way and start at the seventh fret, bar the D G And B, a pull off, a hammer on and it's done. I tried to learn it this way and I gave up almost immediately. I'd like to last as long as possible without the carpel tunnel, and arthritis.
YES!!! DiMartini is all over the fretboard on this.......and not to mention one of my favorite solos of ALL time.....that and Schenker's solo on "On and On" off of MSG
Dennis High I know how to play the main riffs of Back For More, one of my favorites. My Dad plays it too but he does this slick little move where he runs his fretting hand up and down the neck while playing the chugging between the intro chords, and it's so fuckin cool lookin, can't get it down like he does it
Thanks.one of those gem from the 80's.Great workout for the right hand precision Can't help but hearing "Unchained " (also in drop D ) ,Great series of videos man.
That Les Paul - man - what a beautiful guitar. Had the chance to pick up a 120th anniversary edition a few weeks back that looked similar and played like a dream. What a mistake I made by not pulling the trigger!
Thank you very much for this for this dude....I keep trying to find the real way.Awesome !! I'm also doing research and trying on" Bark at the of moon "
One of hair metal bands that’s so underrated was Spread Eagle and the song Broken City! That song riff is fantastic. And lay it down sounds amazing and so nostalgic of my early teens back in late 80s
Ben you rule! This is a riff I love and one of Ratt's best. Robin Crosby was a great player. Everybody gives Warren all the credit but Robin was just as good and a better song writer on top of it. Thanks for the lesson (you're right, I can't play it on my Strat )
jppagetoo I agree, Robin was a key player. His sound chemistry and the way he used the Phrygian Scale Exercises disguised as three chord stompers was evident in the band's proven formula sound and changed dramatically after his, Robin's departure. Interesting note when Ben talked about having big hands to stretch, enter Robin Crosby🤘!!
Yeah, you covered Robbin's guitar part all right, but Warren's is slightly different at the beginning, and has that Sykes style slide into perfect fourth (C in this case)
Sweet baby Jesus, I've wanted to learn this intro since they first wrote it. That little slide where you move the whole shape up has thrown me since day 1. Thank you SOOOO much! 1 thing on my bucket list eliminated!
Hi Ben! Thanks for the video! Will learn this riff. As for future suggestions, I love that you devote some time to Vito Bratta and Steve Lynch and guys like that. May be you can do a video on one of the Warren Demartinis solos that are for intermediate level? He usually shreds real fast and I can't keep up yet to that level, so always glad when you do some intermediate stuff. Thanx!
Cover some of the melodies in Joe Satriani's "Crushing Day" ....That is, if you haven't already. Please & Thank You. Great playing. Great instructional video. Great to see someone with a high standard to get out of their comfort zone & learn how to play it right! Thanks Again.
Great riff great lesson!! Can’t wait to fire up my Paul and stretch those fingers out!! Would also love to see some Warren solos as well-very underrated. Love the Tool aside😉
Actually just getting into this album, so this was an absolute blast to watch! Coming back to this vid when my finger heals from a bad cut to try to learn this riff, even though drop tuning bums me out.
Would love to see you play some Journey covers Ben! Like Dont Stop Believing, Anyway You Want It, Mother, Father, Lights, and Lights or Higher Place. Thanks for sharing your gift!
Ben great video! I have to play the stretchy chords using open D, G (2nd fret) and B (5th fret) strings, then open D, G (3rd fret) and B (6th fret). Wish I could pull it off the way you're doing it.
Thanks for putting out this tutorial. This was a great riff back in the 80's, and it still is today. Its definitely taxing on the wrist to play repeatedly. lol
Thank you very much! Ratt was the first hair band that I really got into hardcore, something about their sound just clicked with me. I've never been able to make that riff sound right even with the Invasion of Your Privacy tab book. I don't have very big hands but I've finally found the answer to that enigma. Thanks again!
I learned this one by being front row in front of Warren in 1985. Still one of my favorite one to play because my style of playing is to splay out my fingerings
Hey Ben - another Ben here. Love the channel. Longtime lurker/learner - first time poster. I have a fave riff that I have never seen tabbed out good or taught in any video lessons out there. The riff is "Gypsy" from the Dio's Holy Diver album. That entire album is worth a look, but the Gypsy riff is so dang cool. Any love from you and your skills would be awesome. Thanks for all you do!
I appreciate your efforts. I too want to lay this riff down the the right way. So I hope you don’t mind the nick pick. I listened to the first riff. Only place to here it is the first time he plays it. All the other times the rhythm guitar plays cords on top (with no slide up). I believe you can tell that after the slide up you can’t here the higher note you are playing here. Which leaves me to believe he doesn’t play that note.
Thanks for learning the right way to play Lay it Down by Ratt!!! One of my favorites. What else do you want to see covered on my channel?
Hi Ben
Please do something from TnT!
A lesson on the opening riff, chorus and solo from Caught between the tigers, perhaps? Would be awesome, Ronni Le Tekrø is a legend 🤘🏻
Hi Ben - how about a lesson “Snortin’ Whiskey Drinkin’ Cocaine” by Pat Travers? Old school! Thanks!
Journey-Edge of the Blade (Frontiers Album)
Tornado of Souls, again :D
Holy wars.
In my opinion the best and most articulate guitar lessons for accuracy taught on the inter web. Awesome and thanks!
Your absolutely correct sir!! LID is one of the great guitar riffs, and not just in the "hair metal" category, in all categories! Ratt was no joke buddy. Sean Black

My hand is going to need a C Section after playing this riff.
HAHA! I was about to comment: "I'm gonna need that 'C Section' after A and B got me pregnant..."
😂
Drop d reconstruction likely
Carpal tunnel , buddy
😂😂
Warren is so underrated. The tone you got is sick.
Robin Crosby's lick
Unholstered Media wrong. Warren
Warren was and still is a ripper!!
He got so sloppy tho man sucks.He will always be one of my all time favs tho.
I remember exactly where I was when I heard this song for the first time back in 1985... They were at the top of their game on Invasion of Your Privacy IMO!
Steven Hatfield me too! I remember being in my Oldsmobile, a hot summer day, just got my pioneer stereo installed, I cranked it all the way down the highway!
Steven Hatfield
Saw them open for Scorpions on that tour!
Amazing show!
I saw them on Star Search and told my little brother the guitar players were amazing but they'll never go anywhere with a name like RATT :D
Luckily I was wrong, they won Star Search and the rest is history :)
I’m blown away that you essentially had no edits in the second half of this lesson. So concise and clear. Great playing as always.
Johnny Million haha thanks man!!
This is by far the best lesson of this song I’ve seen. Good job! Now I know the RIGHT way to play it.
How about the intro to Seventeen by Winger. That is a sick riff!! Reb Beach is a beast!!!
LOL...made my suggestion before watching the whole video! Bring it Uncle Ben!!
Winger and Ratt. Best shit ever.
Zombie Machinery Glam and hair metal/rock had some of the most ridiculous guitar playing ever (including the obscure Pantera!). I hated the overall music, but holy cow, those guys could straight up shred!
Yes! There was a very detailed riff video online that Reb made at N'stuff music, but it got taken down by someone we won't mention by name ;)
Reb Beach teaches the riff, it's on RUclips
Crazy Nights by Loundness. I played it wrong for years and then watched a lesson on YT a few years ago and it sounds a little better now. I still don't think I'm 100% album correct. Easy riff and sounds so cool!!!!
Rock n roll crazy nights! Tab on mike gross!
Great job, Ben. Love your lessons. Warren DiMartini is also a very underrated guitarist of the 80s!
Dude! I’ve never seen anyone play this song at all. My old band used to cover it in the early 90’s because I love that riff so much. Other players were gob smacked by the stretches. 😆 I loved playing the solo too.

Great job on this one. I wasn't much of a glam/hair metal fan, was more of a thrash metal fun, but I always admired Warren Dimartini. He was a monster on the guitar along with George Lynch.
Awesome, uncle Ben! I think Warren was inspired by Eddie in the Unchained type tuning. Genius. Warren's tone was sick on that record.
Yes! Do Seventeen! Lay it down and Seventeen have some of the catchiest riffs ever imo!
Ben, amazing lesson. You nailed that tone!!
Such an amazing riff and excellent execution
This riff has a magical quality to it in that it always makes me smile .. eyes water and goosebumps ensue !
Warren was such an underrated player-well done
jakemf1 Hey there. Yes I do. It's a guitar cover of the main theme to the movie - Neverending Story. (great movie btw)
Robin always said Warren was better even he can’t confess
5:38 That simple slide that adds so much texture to this riff ;-)
Best riff ratt ever did in my opinion. I can't stretch my fingers out that far anymore (arthritis). Excellent to watch you play. Perfect!!!
I’m late to the party but it’s good to finally see this song being played correctly. I learned this song way back when the album came out and you’re right, that stretched chord is a hand-killer. But Warren plays it like it’s “normal” 😂
Duuuude!!! YESS!! Such an underrated riff! Thank you master Ben!
Such an underrated riff to see here! Awesome and informative my man!

As ultra excellent as Warren DiMartini was and is, people tend to overlook Robbin Crosby who wrote a lot of the great Ratt riffs and songs!

@@robertproctor7771 Really? Bummer. I hadn't heard or read that. Will look into it more....
"Dont cry for me i've run the full gambit" - Robbin RATT Crosby.
Robbin had the most influence on the EP and Out of The Cellar album. But pretty much from Invasion of Your Privacy, and onward. It was basically all Warren. Robbin was getting less and less involved as his addictions worsened.

If you need lessons for those you're not a guitar player, lol. .simple stuff !
Back for more & what you give is what you get! My two favorite ratt songs. 💪
YES Ben.....I already KNEW "the right way" to play Lay It Down....and YES....one of the coolest riffs from the 80's
Love this! Those stretches are AWESOME! Please do a video on the solo!! 🙏🏻👌🏻
Uncle Bem, can show us why do our hammer-ons/pull-offs suck?
Your a beast uncle Ben! That tone is freaking perfect dude, you nailed it. Soooo fresh and so clean clean.
this channel should have 10x more subscribers.... it's great stuff. thanks Uncle Ben
Thanks.one of those gem from the 80's.Great workout for the right hand precision Can't help but hearing "Unchained " (also in drop D ) ,Great series of videos man.
I have been waiting for this lesson for a long time thank you so much!
That Les Paul - man - what a beautiful guitar. Had the chance to pick up a 120th anniversary edition a few weeks back that looked similar and played like a dream. What a mistake I made by not pulling the trigger!
SEVENTEEEEEEEN! The whole song has dark corners. Shine us a light, Uncle Ben!
Thank you very much for this for this dude....I keep trying to find the real way.Awesome !! I'm also doing research and trying on" Bark at the of moon "
DON TWAN 47 I’ve got a lesson on that one too!
@@BenEller awesome thanks
I'm gonna check it out for sure!
How about the intro to Walking Shoes by Tora Tora ?
One of hair metal bands that’s so underrated was Spread Eagle and the song Broken City! That song riff is fantastic. And lay it down sounds amazing and so nostalgic of my early teens back in late 80s
One of my fav riffs ever written. Thanks for showing us!
Hi Ben,
Would it be possible to have a video about your complete recording signal path ? It sounds so good to my ears.... Thank you !
The solo to this is equally rad. The repeated motif at the end of the solo with those bends was always my favorite "exit back to song" ever.
and I thought Round and Round had insane stretches. First time in a while when it actually hurts to play guitar
AWESOME stuff Uncle Ben!!!....how about doing Van Halen"5150"...never seen that one played correct and its an awesome riff!!!!!
Ben you rule! This is a riff I love and one of Ratt's best. Robin Crosby was a great player. Everybody gives Warren all the credit but Robin was just as good and a better song writer on top of it. Thanks for the lesson (you're right, I can't play it on my Strat )

Thanks for sharing uncle Ben!!!
Yeah, you covered Robbin's guitar part all right, but Warren's is slightly different at the beginning, and has that Sykes style slide into perfect fourth (C in this case)
Again with the awesome shirt Braa! ...Oh and RATT Rules!
One of my favorite songs. Sounds great! Great looking LP, love that top.
It feels so cool to play this! Thanks Ben!
Sweet baby Jesus, I've wanted to learn this intro since they first wrote it. That little slide where you move the whole shape up has thrown me since day 1. Thank you SOOOO much! 1 thing on my bucket list eliminated!
Ben, I love your channel. Thank you for posting this stuff up for us all to learn.
Thanks for this video! I've wanted to learn how to play this tune for years.
Cheers heaps for sharing brother great track love this one by ratt btw love your artwork on the wall cool jam room, blessings

Killer Great Rift .....excellent teaching.. great job Ben thanks!
Yes! I was just working on this and "You're in love." Would like to see some Racer X, just discovering the greatness (overdue, I know).
Man UB...you have some tasty Kemptones. I do like your 800 tones...a lot... but this Top Jimi tones are just about perfect.
Excellent Guitar Lesson!!! Thank You so much for share!
Best regards
Huge Ratt fan and Lay it Down was one, if not the best Riff of the 80's! Thanks for making the video.
Sickest video ever!!! I too always thought the Lay it down riff was one of the ULTIMATE Riffs of all hair metal-dom!!!! Thanks for the video!!!
Thanks ,your the best teacher so far😀! I learned this fast. When it's slowed down it sounds like Van Halen. Good job!
As usual you've helped us all again, fantastic job, where would we be without our uncle?😆
"Let's go to that c section" thank your for your incisive guitar playing and fantastic sound uncle Ben :*
Cover some of the melodies in Joe Satriani's "Crushing Day"
....That is, if you haven't already.
Please & Thank You.
Great playing.
Great instructional video.
Great to see someone with a high standard to get out of their comfort zone & learn how to play it right!
Thanks Again.
Outstanding lesson Ben. I've had trouble playing this correctly since 1985.
I wanted to learn this, AND knew exactly where to look! THANKS
You have a great ear, Ben. There are some little nuances in this riff I never noticed before, that you pointed out here. Great!!!🤘😎👍
Awesome Riff, Pain in the left hand but a matter of more stretching and practice.🙂 Thanks for the clear lesson. Love Your Channel.
Thanks. Great insight and break down. I always peddled off the open A... my bad.
Great job, very comprehensive. Good teacher.
Great riff great lesson!! Can’t wait to fire up my Paul and stretch those fingers out!!
Would also love to see some Warren solos as well-very underrated.
Love the Tool aside😉
Actually just getting into this album, so this was an absolute blast to watch! Coming back to this vid when my finger heals from a bad cut to try to learn this riff, even though drop tuning bums me out.

thank you Ben - just visiting this. How about round and round full song with solo included?
Ben great video! I have to play the stretchy chords using open D, G (2nd fret) and B (5th fret) strings, then open D, G (3rd fret) and B (6th fret). Wish I could pull it off the way you're doing it.
Steelheart ....can’t stop me from loving you intro riff!!!
Thanks for putting out this tutorial. This was a great riff back in the 80's, and it still is today. Its definitely taxing on the wrist to play repeatedly. lol
I've been playing guitar since 1986 and always played it wrong. I turn 50 in October and can safely say I know how to play it correctly! Thanks dude.
Thank you very much! Ratt was the first hair band that I really got into hardcore, something about their sound just clicked with me. I've never been able to make that riff sound right even with the Invasion of Your Privacy tab book. I don't have very big hands but I've finally found the answer to that enigma. Thanks again!

Awesome! Sounds perfect. Killer Tea Burst LP too!
Great riff, great song, tough to play with stubby fingers. Killer looking Les Paul, BTW.
Awesome Ben! How about some Great White - Step On You
One of the greatest 80's riffs!
How about: The Ultimate Sin opening riff. Hall of the Mountain King main riff and verse (Criss Oliva was killer)
I love that riff but always hated playing it because I knew I was missing something. This is spot on! Thanks a lot man!
Hey Ben - another Ben here. Love the channel. Longtime lurker/learner - first time poster. I have a fave riff that I have never seen tabbed out good or taught in any video lessons out there. The riff is "Gypsy" from the Dio's Holy Diver album. That entire album is worth a look, but the Gypsy riff is so dang cool. Any love from you and your skills would be awesome. Thanks for all you do!
Good lesson...the difficult part is during the solo it goes down a full step...makes you stretch even further.
Awesome..i pretty much figured it out...but you cleared up a minor error or 2 on my part..lol thanks!
I appreciate your efforts. I too want to lay this riff down the the right way. So I hope you don’t mind the nick pick.
I listened to the first riff. Only place to here it is the first time he plays it. All the other times the rhythm guitar plays cords on top (with no slide up).
I believe you can tell that after the slide up you can’t here the higher note you are playing here. Which leaves me to believe he doesn’t play that note.
