Dude you REALLY are an amazing teacher! The level of detail in your lessons is a sign of a driven, obsessed, tone chasing guitar FREAKING MANIAC! THANK YOU!
I actually had to watch this so I could play rhythm for Steve Lynch on New Years at our house party LOL. He's making me sing it, too (we're his marketing team). FYI Steve says it's A430 on the track. But get this, his new band tunes UP to A443. So now I have to actually warm up my voice, ha ha. For anybody wondering, Steve Lynch is still phenomenal, has a brand new act coming out in early 2020 called Project 2:22 and we are super stoked about creating their marketing outreach. Turn it up!
@@BenEller According to Steve, It's a psychological listener response thing. The new band has a female vocalist (indie Nashville singer/actor Alena Rae), so it may also be more comfortable for her. The new album, from which a pair if digital singles will be released first, is brighter and more mainstream pop, so upscale will also enhance that. But it's still quintessential Lynch- tons of speed licks, double tapping, all the stuff he's known for. I've listened to a couple of the raw tracks and it is mind blowing.
Ben- As you were playing some of the tapping section in slow speed, it started sounding like beautiful chimes and gave me chills. Not many people can break down a commanding solo like this in slow speed much less teach it and make it sound beautiful! Thanks Brother!
Sounds great, could you do a video on some basic concepts for getting that 80s tone? Differences on the typical rhythm sound vs the lead. Delay timing, chorus, phaser, flanger, which to use and when. Stuff like that to help us get in the ballpark. Thks!
Great Chops Dude! and Love that paint job on the axe! Back in the Golden age of hair Metal (1988) i had a 1981 gibson flying v painted like that..even on the back of the neck and headstock, fitted with a kahler whammy system and duncan distortion pups .. going into a jcm800 half stack ... cool times... Got to see Steve Lynch at a guitar clinic here in Australia around 1989 ... damn good times indeed .. (sold all my gear during the grunge era around '94) ... keep up the great vids.. rock on Brother!
As someone who first struggled through the Marching Out album (Y.J.M.) in the early 1980s, let me say that your tone is just impeccable. You have such a natural flow when you play. Subbed.
This is one of my favorite solos of all times. I thought I couldn't play it, but with this tutorial I am sure going to give it a try, I think I can.... You sure explained it note by note with great detail and most of all with such a great deal of encouragement to us mere mortals. I usually don't post comments, but I have to say it, you aren't only a great player you inspire confident. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
Just amazing, very well explained. For some reason I started listening to 80's amazing bands again and because of this song I decided to give me a second chance to learn shredding after many years just playing blues. Thanks
This whole album was great. I remember walking around my town with this album cranked on my boom box. Look it up if you want to really understand what growing up in the 80's was like. Great music from amazingly talented musicians. You are a great teacher. God bless you and your family.
OMG , just came upon you. I am a keyboard player but DAMN , LOVE the 80's..you NAILED IT... saved this just in case My old 61 yr old ass gets back into a band,,this IS my music
Man, I learned the White Lion's "Wait" solo from you (I'm still trying to master it) and I was searching for a tutorial for the solo of "Turn Up The Radio" and who better than my boy Ben. When you can, it'd be cool if you could also teach the one from "All I'm Gonna Take", "Send Her To Me", and/or "Thrill Of Love". Man Steve Lynch is one of my favorites along with Vito Bratta and George Lynch :)
it is the recording..a lot of recordings back when are like that and then you had you own motor speeds with cassettes..and I am glad you showed Steve's way of playing it..cheers
So many great guitar "moments"(songs/bands/players etc..) in the 1980's height of popularity of ROCK, and this solo is definitely in the top percentile!
Thanks again, Ben, for your meticulous analysis. Great homework assist. Got to see Autograph in Buffalo years ago when they were touring and shared the bill with Kim Mitchell. Perhaps you could breakdown some of Kim's stuff sometime. Eclectic stuff.
Till I started actually trying to teach myself how to play guitar, I didn't really pay attention to how cool that lead was until you showed us how it's done and it's quite the thing, these guys were talented for sure and so are you Ben thank you Uncle Ben
Got it in 45 minutes....new record! What a great breakdown. The only thing I had to change was a couple of the fingerings in the finger-pretzel section and I moved the tapping up to the 12th fret of the A string (the stretch was absolutely killing my hand for some reason). It sounds a little muddy, but I'll probably never get to play it out live so I'm just happy to be able to play the solo. Thanks!
Ty bro.. been playing this the wrong way for soo long cuz I just couldnt figure out the right way! Settled for half-assed version... just to get it on the gig list... thanks for this! You rock!!
I play by ear and can easily learn rhythm guitar parts, but because of this song’s solo, I’ve always wanted to actually learn music so I could make up my own solos. I’ve always been impressed by this solo, WELL DONE!!!
Nice. You are the BOMB as an instructor. So much well-earned respect from all of the guitarists on this planet. The ending was like you just gave up on the way I learned to play it. No biggie.
Ben, you rock! And I like how Ben always puts the kind of guitar he's using in the description. He has introduced me to so many brands I didn't know about. There is more than just Fender & Gibson, Jackson & Ibanez! Way more I see!! Thanks Uncle Ben.
wow this is an incredibly melodic solo. i learned it from your vid here all weekend. Its sinking in and it will be awesome when i get it up to speed!!! thanx soooo much uncle Ben. btw your hair looks awesome
Dear Ben, Paaaaallllleeeeeeaaaaase do the pulse version of comfortably numb's 2nd solo. There are so few accurate tabs out there for one of the most impressive solo's ever played. Also... this is such a badass solo. Thanks for this.
Thanks dude! I think "Teach" is really hard because first you have to learn how to be patient. This solo has been my nemesis for YEARS!! But now Im pretty sure I can play It whitout any problema at all! Thanks, again. 🙏
What a lucky score to have found this lesson on my first search! You just fired me up out of a way too long guitar hiatus I'm stoked to grab my Schecter Hellraiser and start learning this killer song by a killer player & teacher I cannot thank you enough! Subscribed and liked Can't wait to check out your other stuff! SO AWESOME!
I remember when this video first came and I always chuckle when the solo comes up. During the tapping part of the song, you can see Steve being pushed or moved into the camera frame. You can see their hand in the shot holding his arm. 😂
Don’t think I’ll ever be at this level but this was a great lesson and break down nonetheless. Hey Ben, I am not sure if you’re a huge fan of Steve and Randy. But I actually was able to contact Randy months before his death and asked if he and Steve could sign their cd for me. He was actually in the process of moving from the west coast to the east coast and actually took the time to write me a letter apologizing for the delay due to the move. He was such a classy guy. I received in the mail the signed cd by Steve and Randy, his letter and Randy’s bass pick. I actually have it on eBay. If interested. Love following your lessons. Very talented
excellent work dude. I also got stumped on the interval section of this solo. You broke it down very similar to how I did. Steven must of had some fusion background
Thanks for the lesson Uncle Ben. How about a lesson in which you teach us kids how to play in non guitar-friendly keys like Eb,Bb etc. Some songs which cover that topic. P.S: Your hair looks real good in this video.How do you maintain those long locks without having issues like dandruff etc? If you don't mind answering
Hey Ben. Great video. One thing though on the "hard part" with the string skipping. From the Autograph video, it looks to me that at the very beginning of the run (second note from the top of the run), I think Steve is playing the B string on the 17th fret instead of the G string on the 21st. If not so be it, but it sure looks like it, and it for sure makes the run flow better playing it to me anyway. It's more of a sweep, and your index finger is already there from right before.
I remember playing GTA Vice City back in like 2006 and listening to VRock and hearing this song and I thought it was so catchy. Then I finally got playing guitar thought fuck yeah i wanna play this! I then realised how much of a freak Steve Lynch was and realised I’d never do that 😂 thank you Ben for breaking down this epic solo making it much easier to digest rather than Steve Lynch’s “Two Handed Guitarist” lessons 😂😂
Hi Ben. Awesome tutorial! Any chance you could post an “amp settings” type breakdown on the setup you use for the solo? I struggle to get an even tone between the middle and third finger taps and I’ve tried some different combinations of compression and gain but I can’t seem to get a smooth response. Unrelated, but awesome to see the AX2 in the background. That was my first modeling amp that I got back in 2000.
I had to pause this at the first section to try to get a grip on it. You're amazing! If you ever decide to do 'Coming of age' by Damn Yankees, I'd appreciate it. Great stuff!
Hi Ben thanks for the lesson. I wonder why Steve choose to use two fingers for the tapping sequence. Requires arching the neck and guitar in an awkward position. I just tap it out with just the index finger, but hey Steve’s the man. Thanks again Ben.....
Steve Lynch is an underrated player,some of his ideas /techniques are,very different to the usual tapping ,other things ,80s players were doing [have a video with him showing some,kudos for showing this[and the Sleepaway Camp ,T shirt....".shes a dude "!
I had this video playing while watching the Titans game.. When you got to the tapping part around 17:00 I looked up at the tv. I thought I was hearing bagpipes instead of guitar fingerboard tapping. lol 🤷♂️
Dude you REALLY are an amazing teacher! The level of detail in your lessons is a sign of a driven, obsessed, tone chasing guitar FREAKING MANIAC! THANK YOU!
Thanks so much!

Eyemonster Studios wow! That’s awesome, thank you for commenting. What’s the logic with the 430 and 443 tunings? Any particular reason?
@@BenEller According to Steve, It's a psychological listener response thing. The new band has a female vocalist (indie Nashville singer/actor Alena Rae), so it may also be more comfortable for her. The new album, from which a pair if digital singles will be released first, is brighter and more mainstream pop, so upscale will also enhance that.

Eyemonster Studios killer. Can’t wait to hear it!
Loving it!!
I can't believe how easy you make that look.
No kidding!
Such a miller solo, steve lynch has got to be one of the most underrated players ever, thanks for the video
I never appriciated this solo until I heard it in this format.
Man have I been waiting for this!
Robert Baker hi rob...nice to see you on here ....have a rocking weekend 🎸🎶
Holy crap! Another RUclipsr that doesn’t sleep! ;p
Robert Baker - wouldn’t be great to something with Ben for a RUclips post like Jamming?
I know I'm kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch new movies online ?
@Kayson Clyde Try flixzone. Just google for it =)
This is a great solo! Steve Lynch was such an underrated guitarist back in the 80s!
Ben- As you were playing some of the tapping section in slow speed, it started sounding like beautiful chimes and gave me chills. Not many people can break down a commanding solo like this in slow speed much less teach it and make it sound beautiful! Thanks Brother!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
WOW, I dont post much on YT but we have decided to cover this tune and you have just saved me a boat load of time to learn this tune... Thank you!!!
I don't comment a lot but gotta say your playing is amazing man! Cheers! 🍺🍺🍺
Peyote Pete thanks a lot Pete!!!

I’ve been wanting to learn this solo for so long but I could never find a good vid. Great tutorial 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Nice! That is the tone!!
Thank you so much for keeping this old boy from having to slug his way through it. Sounds super accurate!!
Thanks for this Ben! I met Steve Lynch at a guitar show years ago and he was such a nice guy - spent ages talking to me. 👍
Awesome job playing that and you got that tone dialed in spot on too.
"Children and home-schooled people" xD
Thanks for the informative videos. Especially this!!
This is one of my favorite solos of all times. I thought I couldn't play it, but with this tutorial I am sure going to give it a try, I think I can....

You are probably worldwide best guitar instructor I’ve ever heard dittos that’s all it was amazing

One of my most favorite guitar solos!
Great job Ben! Steve used to live in my neighborhood and whenever I ran into him, he was the nicest guy ever.
we used to play this in one of my old bands. and yes I played it right. One of my favorite songs and solos ever. so fun to play.
Thanks again, Ben, for your meticulous analysis. Great homework assist. Got to see Autograph in Buffalo years ago when they were touring and shared the bill with Kim Mitchell. Perhaps you could breakdown some of Kim's stuff sometime. Eclectic stuff.
I saw them back in 84 they opened for Van Halen at the Providence civic center. wasn't a huge Autogragh fan But......I will learn this solo tho.
Till I started actually trying to teach myself how to play guitar, I didn't really pay attention to how cool that lead was until you showed us how it's done and it's quite the thing, these guys were talented for sure and so are you Ben thank you Uncle Ben
Thank you, Uncle Ben, for showing me how much I suck at two handed tapping and string skipping. I have my work cut out for me.
Got it in 45 minutes....new record! What a great breakdown. The only thing I had to change was a couple of the fingerings in the finger-pretzel section and I moved the tapping up to the 12th fret of the A string (the stretch was absolutely killing my hand for some reason).

Nice. You are the BOMB as an instructor. So much well-earned respect from all of the guitarists on this planet.
The ending was like you just gave up on the way I learned to play it. No biggie.
Many thanks Ben. You're a star. This is fantastic :-)
Ben, you rock!
And I like how Ben always puts the kind of guitar he's using in the description.
He has introduced me to so many brands I didn't know about. There is more than just Fender & Gibson, Jackson & Ibanez! Way more I see!!
Thanks Uncle Ben.
1000 bonus points for the Sleepaway Camp shirt Uncle Ben
Chuck Dickens richaaaard! Aaaaangela!!!! Dude I hope if you’re a horror fan, you’ve checked out my podcast Dead and Lovely!!!
I haven’t but I will right now, I like my horror like I like my solos, eighties style
wow this is an incredibly melodic solo. i learned it from your vid here all weekend. Its sinking in and it will be awesome when i get it up to speed!!! thanx soooo much uncle Ben. btw your hair looks awesome

I absolutely love it. You're a great teacher and a beautiful person.
Apparently, 19 people are deaf. Incredible job on one of the best solos of the 80's. Thanks, Ben.
Man, that is a super nice suhr guitar and your sleepaway camp shirt is awesome thanks for the lesson!
Don’t think I’ll ever be at this level but this was a great lesson and break down nonetheless.

Thanks for the perfect lesson on one of the best solos ever done!
Super super super smooth! You play effortlessly.
Thanks for posting, Ben..and great job! Been wanting to learn this solo.
Great solo in a genuinely fun song. Hope to see SKANKBANGER live someday.
Where does your life have to be to thumbs-down this awesome video?!?! Thanks for posting a great study of one of my all-time favorite tunes.
I actually think i might be able to learn this now great job thank you very much
excellent work dude. I also got stumped on the interval section of this solo. You broke it down very similar to how I did. Steven must of had some fusion background
Awesome video, lesson, and love The shirt! We all love Camp Arawak!
I have always loved this solo. Great job and great lesson.
You are a talented dude ...... both playing and teaching wise. And may I add very entertaining....!
Holy Shit Uncle Ben that is KILLER loved these guys
Hey Ben i just noticed that shirt ,I FUCKIN LOVE THAT MOVIE !!!! and This solo is so beautiful i must learn it !! Thanks for the post .
I got to learn this! That bending part is orgasmic! I learned it like 3 years ago, now I can learn the rest with less effort!
Thanks for this Ben!!! I'd love to see the whacky intro solo too!!
Your video is awesome, Uncle Ben! Those sounds out of your white Tiger are delicious! 🙉💕
Such a well constructed melodic solo. Technically very good too. Not often you get both in one solo !
Thanks for the lesson Uncle Ben. How about a lesson in which you teach us kids how to play in non guitar-friendly keys like Eb,Bb etc. Some songs which cover that topic.
P.S: Your hair looks real good in this video.How do you maintain those long locks without having issues like dandruff etc? If you don't mind answering
Love your teaching technique Ben!
Thanks!
Spot on! Also been waiting on this one! Much thanks! Can you also please do solo on Snortin’ Whiskey!
Dude! loving your style teaching!!
This was an excellent tutorial. Thank you so much for this. Was a massive help
love the piecemeal breakdown

You nailed it. Makes the rest of the run much easier doing it this way!
Love the 'sleep away camp' shirt. B movie with a creepy ending.
I remember playing GTA Vice City back in like 2006 and listening to VRock and hearing this song and I thought it was so catchy. Then I finally got playing guitar thought fuck yeah i wanna play this!
I then realised how much of a freak Steve Lynch was and realised I’d never do that 😂 thank you Ben for breaking down this epic solo making it much easier to digest rather than Steve Lynch’s “Two Handed Guitarist” lessons 😂😂
Great solo from 80's!!!
Rock and Roll 🎸 solo hall of fame stuff 🌟
Thanks Ben. My entire guitar collection is now for sale 🎸😂
Awesome and very clear. This would go so much easier if I was tall or double jointed. Just can't get my hand or thumb to bend properly for this one.
Hi Ben. Awesome tutorial! Any chance you could post an “amp settings” type breakdown on the setup you use for the solo? I struggle to get an even tone between the middle and third finger taps and I’ve tried some different combinations of compression and gain but I can’t seem to get a smooth response.
Unrelated, but awesome to see the AX2 in the background. That was my first modeling amp that I got back in 2000.
Goddamn you make that solo look so easy for Turn Up The Radio.
The original way to play is here... ruclips.net/video/j8CcTYsMHYU/видео.html
And the weird intro... ruclips.net/video/FdZMhtANevg/видео.html
Thanks uncle Ben!
Great job on a tough solo!
I had to pause this at the first section to try to get a grip on it. You're amazing! If you ever decide to do 'Coming of age' by Damn Yankees, I'd appreciate it. Great stuff!
Nicely done!!!
Hi Ben thanks for the lesson. I wonder why Steve choose to use two fingers for the tapping sequence. Requires arching the neck and guitar in an awkward position. I just tap it out with just the index finger, but hey Steve’s the man. Thanks again Ben.....
Excellent! You nailed it 👍
It's the best Vito Bratta Solo Vito Bratta never played!
Great video, and playing and beutifull guitar
Steve Lynch is an underrated player,some of his ideas /techniques are,very different to the usual tapping ,other things ,80s players were doing [have a video with him showing some,kudos for showing this[and the Sleepaway Camp ,T shirt....".shes a dude "!
I saw them when they opened up for Van Halen, Steve Lynch was fantastic!!, Van Halen was pretty good too...
I forget how good this band is
Cheers Ben..... 👍👍😊🇦🇺
sick af playing and hair is on point more than usual today
Thanks brother, took me two days and my middle finger now has a heartbeat on my right hand LOL but I got it!
😂
Steve Lynch - so underrated
I had this video playing while watching the Titans game.. When you got to the tapping part around 17:00 I looked up at the tv. I thought I was hearing bagpipes instead of guitar fingerboard tapping. lol 🤷♂️
4 people turned down the radio, shame shame shame
