Hey kids! On Weekend Wankshop 138, i'm gonna take you all on a super-sized lesson through EVERY SINGLE GUITAR PART in Ritual by Ghost from their classic debut album Opus Eponymous! And i mean EVERY part, riff, rhythm, lead, and solo in the whole song! That's a lot of stuff, kiddos. This whole album is FULL of awesome riffs like this, though, so let me know if you want to see more in the future!
Tuning: D G C F A D
I may not be a Nameless Ghoul or on Papa's payroll, but i am a gigantic fan of this record who obsessively pored over the recording and live videos to give what i believe to be the most accurate lesson on all these parts. I hope you all enjoy!
playing my man Jon Cooper's awesome Gibson Les Paul through my Kemper Profiler, using a Top Jimi Marshall profile.
thumbs up for the full song lesson
Uncle Beneritus has risen... and with him, he brings the most accurate of riffage.
I saw ghost opening for Iron Maiden earlier this month, and even though it was my first concert, I'm betting it's going to be my favorite for so many reasons, including it introducing this song, which is now my favorite song by ghost. And now uncle Ben is showing us how to play it. Couldn't be happier
Uncle Ben Ben was secretly a nameless ghoul and thus giving us a perfect lesson... Or he's just that beast of a player
Joshua Martinez haha I wish!!
I remember watching this lesson 3 years ago when I started playing guitar... Ben, you're one of the coolest people I will probably never get to meet in real life, but I'm glad I did meet you through your videos! You're like a cool older brother :D
Cheers, man. Thank you!
Very nice lesson. Ritual is indeed a most excellent song. I'm a new Ghost fan, and I'm so excited to learn to play their songs. I've found several so far that are a good fit for my skill level. They aren't tremendously difficult, but definitely challenge me. I'm not a beginner guitar player, but I'm not a solid intermediate player, either. I've been stuck in a rut of playing oldies rock and metal. Ghost is a breath of fresh air. Finding them has reignited my desire to practice and learn. No more watching the clock to make sure I practice long enough. Thank you! 🎸🎸🤘🤘
Great lesson, you saved me lots of time and listening to a great song
Gonna need your play through of the second album like you promised during the first album play through~
You are quickly becoming my favorite guitar channel. Thank you for all the effort you put into this lesson, and for helping me suck a little bit less at guitar.
Just saw Ghost on Thursday, told myself i was gonna learn "Ritual" on guitar, you post this video on Friday. Brilliant
Thank you Uncle Ben, i've been wanting to learn this and this is just an amazing treat
You've always been my favorite guitar youtuber, but this just...
DrDizzleFrizzle I second that. Andy is pretty awesome too , but he's always trying sell you a pedal. As if buying that pedal will make me sound like him.
I've been looking for a good lesson for this song for ages! Thank you!!!
Great lesson! I can never get that intro to sound right, but this helped. I was playing it the hard way in a different position. Thank you!
What did you think of Seven Inches of Satanic Panic? I personally love it.
It's cool to get your perspective on this. I'm getting a lot of little things that I missed in figuring it out on my own. Thanks Uncle Ben!
First time i see any of your videos. This channel is pure gold!
great lesson and shirt! thanks Uncle Ben
that main riff for whatever reason has a symphony of destruction feel to it ..
That's what I thought when I first heard this riff... They share similarities rhythmically and the F E switch as well. Both amazing songs.
Just what i needed today. U da best Uncle Ben
Thanks 10,000, uncle Ben! I've recently stumbled into ghost a couple days ago and I love em.
Thank you so much uncle Ben! Really appreciate the effort you put on all your lessons
João Sérgio outro brasileiro q gosta de Candlemass, finalmente!
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands, saw them live last year and it was one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen...keep it up Ben, love your lessons...post as much Ghost as you can!!!!🤘
Best tutorial for this song on the interwebs. Great tutorial!!!! :D subscribed!
Thanks for posting!!
Hells yeah Uncle Ben! Love the album, the band, and your lesson here. Nice to see the full voiced chords and such for solo play, too.
Thank you uncle Ben for the lesson!
Thankyou uncle ben
subscribed just because this song was really unmotivating to learn (been playing for about 2 weeks) because I don't know much so tabs are still confusing but man you made this a lot easier to practice, I have to slow you down on some parts and pretty much pause you after every few notes but you made this video perfectly. Will probably end up watching all your videos. Thanks again, Ghost is one of my favorite bands, so I'm pretty excited to be able to jam to a few of their songs.
Appreciate this. One of my favorite songs at the moment
Epic ghoul songwriting. Epic tutorial 🤘🏻🤘🏻 hellish by thy name
Awesome video !
This version of the solo is a lot easier than the way I learned it the first time! I still am more comfortable moving to the 1st string for the hammer on legato part instead of up the neck, but excellent lesson for an excellent song!
FINALLY!! I got it lol. Cant thank you enough! Best Ritual instructional on YT. Subscribed to everything! Now to find out why I suck at guitar......
Thank you sooooo much. Great job
Thank you so much for this!
Also, I see the talk about the second album, I wouldn't mind a playthrough of Depth of Satan's Eyes, probably my favorite Ghost track.
Beautiful Sunburst! I just got into Ghost myself and am really impressed with their Music and Show! You yourself should be up there. Only thing is I think one Guitar is in Drop D and the other is Standard E. I was watching the two guys hands during the show. It really harmonized great that way. Anyway Great Video for people to learn from. Your a Great Player and Teacher! Hope Tobias see this!
best teacher on youtube
Ever thought about doing some Baroness on the channel? Love your work!
I found your channel and its a very good one, just starting to learn acoustic .... any recommendations to learn rock-metal songs from scratch?
Thanks Ben, this was very useful for me. Also a fan of Ghost. ;-)
Can you do a Weekend Wankshop for timing on Battery by Metallica? Every cover I see has the timing of the main riff wrong and I struggle with it myself.
NAILED IT!
great lesson, thanks!
Thanks!! Great lesson!
Excellent
Thanks a lot for this, this song is a blast to play :D ! Your whole channel is awesome, keep it up man :)
Cannot thank you enough uncle
It would be awesome if you did a play through on "Majesty" by Ghost!
Hey Uncle Ben! How about a few classic George Lynch licks and runs?
"Spooky" haha that was cool. Anyway.. what gauge strings do you play?
skunknugz420 9-42 standard, 10-46 down a step
Yo man, would you consider doing a lesson on the ending section of Black Sabbaths track Symtom of the Universe? Its a killer!
Awesome !!!
Stupid question mayby but what kind of settings/ amp/ effects are you using in the video?
Im asking becaus i love the sound and would like to try and emulate it in BiasFx.
Muchos muchos thumbs up from Norway
Henrik Evensen hey man! I typically use my Kemper profiles with Matrix power amp. Love that thing.
Uncle Ben, it seems like it isn't just the new Ghost guitarist that play that run 0-1-2. Omega seems to change between using 0-1-2 on A and using 5-6-7 on E, but it seems he is consistently using 3-6 for the end of that run.
If you watch Ghost - Ritual (Live at Music Feeds Studio), you can see Omega use 0-1-2 at timestamp 00:35.
Hey man nice video :)
If it wasn't for the inverted Lord's Prayer, this would be one of my favourite songs by them as well. As far as the education, flawless and excellent AS USUAL SIR. :D
I'll love if you do one for Opus Eponymous :3
In the chorus, when guitar 1 is playing the Asus4 to Amajor, is guitar 2 playing different voicings of those same chords or are they different chords?
Richard different voicings of the same chords, yeah!
Thanks. Sweet video!
more ghost!!
Man I remember 5 years ago looking for a lesson on this song and the only one I could find was a Brazilian kid talkin Portuguese to me lol. Ghost have definitely come a long way from the. Thanks for the vid!
Subbed for Metallica, got Ghost too! Not only that but one of their best tracks.
Ben,I'm old(57!), absolutely love your channel,can't wait to see what you teach us for Halloween (is there anything left?)
If only you would do megalodon by mastodon!! One day.
Ben is a nameless ghoul confirmed
A "weekend wankshop" would be a very different thing where I come from!
hello Bem. i know it sounds odd but, could you make a lamb of god --laid to rest---lesson? cheers
Thanks Ben Eller! I'm getting Ritual down. But, and I am soory. I have to set the speed down to 0.5 to anittialy get it down but that's just me I play slow at first so I can get it right. I 💖PLAYING QUITAR RIGHT NOW.****👄
what amp are you using? i'm new to guitars and i can't get my amp to sound like yours or the song. please help? I have a mustang fender amp
AWESOME JOB !!!! \M/
Thanks alot Ben this is really good shit! Excellent teaching! Would you consider doing this with the song Cirice by Ghost B.C? That would be sick! Again thanks for all of youre vids they are GODLIKE
Really nice work. Bro..... i ll try to play it on my acoustic.... but. Not the solos :c
Is that a line 6 Axsys? Rad.
Ghost has been blowing up recently
Can you please do Scuttle Buttin' by SRV for one of your videos, I know you usually focus on metal and hard rock but I'd love to see your take on some SRV licks and riffs
Alexander J already did that one! Search for it, you'll find it ;)
We dont deserve you, Uncle Ben!
Also, why play that slide riff with just one finger? Do they do that live?
From what I can tell, no, at least Omega doesn't use one finger live when they performed at Music Feeds Studio. If you watch Ghost - Ritual (Live at Music Feeds Studio) timestamp 02:03, which is the Original Ghost Guitarist line up of Omega and Alpha. This is honestly a great video to see how they play it live. There are a lot of tight close up shots of Omega and Alpha's fret board.
Omega slides from 2 to 3 with index
shifts his index to 5th fret
he hammer on's to 7th fret with ring
uses his pinky for 8th fret
slides with pinky 8 to 7
uses index for 5 to 3 slide
shifts index back to fret 2 for the repeat.
Of course this is from one live performance. He could change it up between hammer ons to slides, or whatever fingers he wants to use. He could do it all with one finger. To me, if I try to use one finger it just sounds sloppy, rushed, and is just boring for me to play.
playthrough of infestissumam and meliora!
Do circie please.
Hey uncle 🅱en. I've been playing guitar a little over a year and a half and I am currently struggling with fast alternate picking. I generally get stuck on part of the string mainly my low E. I'm trying to get my picking to sound crazy fast. Do you have any tips to get my picking to sound like fleshgod apocalypse?
Relatively Large Matt make sure you're pick is slanted a bit, and start at an easy pace with an efficient technique.
Try to minimize excessive motion, and of course, practice it slowly.
And in order to reach your desired speed, move slightly faster from your comfort zone every other day.
Good luck : )
Ali Jr. Thank you friend!
Slow down. If you can't play it slow, you can't play it fast.
Starting at your initial speed now, increasing it will not necessarily improve accuracy. In fact, all you will be doing is masking poor technique by picking faster. Slow down until you can't get it wrong. Then increase your speed. Pay attention to every subtle movement both of your hands make. This is more obvious when playing at a slower speed. Those subtle movements is what technique is born from. Those subtle movements are what you are trying to speed up.
Focus on pick angle and also on how much of the point is sticking out of your fingers. I use Dunlop Jazz III H (the purple ones). Only a few millimeters of the point is all you need. The less exposed point will be less likely to catch on alternate strings, improve your pinch harmonics a lot (and allow you to use your index finger for pinch harmonics as well), and will allow for a more accurate, deliberate pick attack. A forward lick slant (or rear, really just do what works best for YOU) is required to alternate pick and tremolo pick quickly and accurately.
Try using mostly your wrist and minimal forearm to pick fast. Tighten up your picking arms shoulder to build a solid picking foundation. Lock in your arm angle with your elbow (I push against the guitar a little for some leverage). Then just focus on picking the strings from there. But most important of all....you must start by picking slowly and remembering to pick up on what your fingers, hands, and arms are actually doing to produce the best sounding note possible then working on improvising the speed and accuracy of those movements.
Anyone can pick fast dude. Doing it correctly takes practice.
Ryan Wilson thanks for the advice friend. I need to sit down and take it slow. I honestly just try to go very fast and I just end up getting stuck and I don't know any exercises to help my picking
Relatively Large Matt
Anytime man! Check out Ola Englund's channel. He just posted (yesterday I think) a video of his warm up routine. It's a good video that I think will help you out a lot. He describes what would take me about 7 paragraphs in a short video. Check it out, it should help.
Also, remember that an exercise doesn't have to sound like music, that's not its job. An exercise's job is to hone skill and technique. It can literally just be random notes. Honestly, you could just steady quarter note chug the low e string (alternate picking) for an hour, wouldn't hurt a thing. It would also help with muscle memory. An awesome band to learn alternate picking from is Lamb of God.
You'll get there dude, just keep at it and when you get frustrated take a break. Guitar isn't going anywhere. For me, it helps to think about what I'm trying to do when I'm not playing guitar. Create a little video of yourself in your head playing whatever it is perfectly. Think about what your hands and fingers doing and recreate it perfectly. Your brain still learns with that kind of thinking. Steve Vai has a video titled something like "how to be successful" or similar. RUclips it. He talks about the psychological aspect of becoming the player you want to be. A great inspirational video every musician should watch.
actually Ghost have a guitar in standard E and one in standard D
How did you get that tone?
Square Hammer please? :)
Should this be hard to play? I'm having trouble
24:10 is actually on the 9th fret I think and not 10, to give it that weird spooky one time sound that goes with that weird bend the first guitar is doing. Otherwise this is awesome lesson 👍
Naa, its totally on the 10, the nine sounds out of place tbh
Next time include bass? Cheers from... ... ... sweden
Amp settings ?
Please someone name the song in the Intro part!!! It's that real surfy sounding song...
That's a healthy ding in your head stock. Sorry, dude. Adds character for sure though.
the main riff sounds a bit like Symphony of destruction
Appreciate Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Riddleagan Blossoming Solo Remedy (probably on Google)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for mastering guitar scales minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy at very last got great results with it.
guitar battles live That F to E switch is used in many songs. I see what you mean but I don’t think it’s anywhere close to that riff overall.
I think he means the accents are the same as Symphony for like a split second in each repeat of the riff.
LOL no!? Do you happen to know the band Mercyful Fate? Listen to Don't Break the Oath
Intro song?
Sick Dooh just some of my goofy jams!
Go search for NotANamelessGhoul on RUclips if you want accurate lessons on how to play almost all Ghost songs. That guy is the Ghost master.
Tuning: D G C F A D
I can't tune my guitar like this. When i'm done with all strings the ones i started with already drifted out of tune.
slap_my_hand do you have a floyd rose or some kind of tremolo?
saca las tabs prro
Ghost is just Blue Oyster Cult with reverb
gavin ament and its amazing
Blue Öyster Cult and Mercyful Fate/King Diamond are the DNA of Ghost. Awesome influences!
also roky erickson, definitely part of their DNA
Not enough cowbell!
Subtitals are right in the way.WTF???
How can a rhythm guitarist start playing learning lead? It's so hard..
? "Ghost" ,Is this really a band? How saddening. -( What happens when a dude in Ghost dies? At least they're a band that's real. Not like those gimmicky bands that hide behind makeup an silly costumes.
edit - So I went to listen to this song.... I didn't understand they wrote the depth of "evil" lyrics that a pre-teen would conjour after a few hours of online gaming. my apologies
?
lol
Hell yeah bro!!!
