i saw these guys at warped and he was just flawless, i fell in love with these as soon as they began to play. I didn't why they had such a small crowd. They were fantastic, i was so glad i stuck around to watch them.
Ben, perfect impossible! What a wonderful tutorial! Congratulations! You are magnificent, magical with his guitar, contagious, thrills! This captivating your way is an irresistible charm! Thank you for this you want to share your musical talents with us! Thank you for existing! Come along to Brazil!! We want to have you around!
wow, that was amazing. the transition from tapping to sweep picking is the smoothest ive ever seen, ive never wanted to give up guitar this much before :/
Yeah your right, also an Esp Dave Mustaine signature (for some solos, owned by Andy Sneap and borrowed for the album) and I believe a Fender Telecaster for cleans :) Haha I only know all this because Ben told me; I had a couple of guitar lessons with him a while back and we talked about what gear he used at some point!
They used drop D for the Bridges... EP, and they were going to record the album City of Vultures in E standard (The Serpent, This Day is Mine and the title track) and drop D (everything else), but to make it easier on Austin's vocals, the band decided to move everything a 1/2 step down, and this is the album version in drop C# you hear in this video :) If you want to play the album version, drop C#, and the EP version, drop D :P Ben told me himself at a guitar lesson, so its reliable lol XD
i can play the song now except solo basicly :P great playing and sick tune :D By they way, what tuning do you use in the song? i found some tabs, some of them where drop C# and some drop D...
It's really sad that Rise To Remain decided to break up and left Adam+Ben for the new band. All I can think is "What Ben gonna do?" He got a talent but I'm scared that he's gonna stop doing music. Ben, of you read this message I'm begging you to assure us that you're not going to stop. At all. I've tried your twitter even instagram but I think you're not there anymore. Ben, don't quit and please give us some news about your life. Thanks.
***** The Drummer left and then Ben did for personal issues in his life if i remember rightly and has decided to just quit music in general. Austin and the others felt it wrong to continue without them under the name RTR so they formed As Lions. Such a shame but at least we still get to hear 3/5 of RTR continue
yep, I already felt bitter when Pat left but then Ben. Yeah I know but still tho, such a waste. With that kind of talent, I'm sure he can be on top if he decided to continue.
Oh you're right, sorry, i confused him with Glenn Proudfoot. However what makes you think Andy would be a better guitar-player, than Ben? If it comes to speed, Ben matches and surpasses Andy (arpeggios in The Serpent and alternate-picking afterwards for an example). Also i don't think, that you can compare a solo-guitarplayer with one who plays in a band.
Wow he taught you :o thats so fucking cool, I'm normally quite composed as a fan but my god this guy is actually in my eyes the best player I've ever seen! My bands guitarist and myself idolise him :D
Lol a lot of people idolise him! :P Ive actually kinda lost interest in the band, but I still totally respect Ben as a player - he's fucking awesome! He was a good teacher, but didn't really go over the things as slowly and carefully as I would have liked, just kinda expected me to be able to do these things lol. One hell of a player though, got probably the best vibrato of any guitarist I've come across along with Adam D and Adam Nolly Getgood :P
I love this song but this is not a tutorial video, i cant learn to play tha solo because its played on normal tempo, when you do a tutorial you suposse to do the same song but slower,so the fans can learn Slowly each part of the song. Anyways,really good guitar player! Ihave the same guitar!
Honestly, you can not say anything until you have listen to some of his original music. Go listen to mercurial or the ultimatum by him, your opinion will shortly change.
And if i were to rank guitarplayers for technical skill only Andy James wouldn't even be within the top 4.(1.Tiago della Vega 2.Shawn Lane 3.Glenn Proudfoot 4.Rusty Cooley)
Jeff Loomis is better than Rusty Cooley in my opinion. And Ben Tovey is awesome. I said they're different. And also Andy plays for Sacred Mother Tongue as well.
I hate this guys look in the face - so calm, so annoyed, so bored, like he's playing some folk shit about 3 chords. If I play like a God himself, I will definitely don't stare like this! I will be full of fucking PRIDE, look noobs how to play a fucking electric guitar !!! And this solo, look, I have eargasm with all you listeners at once !
8 years later and that solo still has me shook 😭🤘🏼👏🏼
STILL one of the most UNDERRATED Solos of all time years later
Still one of the best solos I've ever heard as of today. Slow walkthrough guys, you should do it !
They broke up like ages ago man, still gutted to this day.
That solo.. is outrageously AWESOME.
One of the best to this day... I can't believe I still get a chill everytime I hear it. Like speeding in car, faster and faster.
Beautiful work!
I discovered this band 3 weeks ago, 1 week after, i bought the cd and now nothing left is the song the most listened on my iTunes
i saw these guys at warped and he was just flawless, i fell in love with these as soon as they began to play. I didn't why they had such a small crowd. They were fantastic, i was so glad i stuck around to watch them.
This solo kicks me in the feels everytime...
Ben you are such an amazing guitarist.
Your comments on these playthroughs have made my day
Ben, perfect impossible! What a wonderful tutorial! Congratulations! You are magnificent, magical with his guitar, contagious, thrills! This captivating your way is an irresistible charm! Thank you for this you want to share your musical talents with us! Thank you for existing! Come along to Brazil!! We want to have you around!
God bless you, Ben! Thanks for making this video!
One of the saddest and most beautiful solos i've ever heard !
that may be some of the greatest sweep picking i have ever seen
wow, that was amazing. the transition from tapping to sweep picking is the smoothest ive ever seen, ive never wanted to give up guitar this much before :/
Holy shit that solo :o
Ben rocks on guitar!!!
Amazing!!!!
Dat solo..... Great song !
Ben Tovey for President!
I went to watch trivium and these guys played ben is the cleanest player I ever heard tbh
Why must you make it look so effortless!!!!!!
I am not going to get into who is best but yah this guy is one of the best I've ever seen
Up, amo muito minha clary
I Cry with this Solo, i can't believe such a beautifull thing! It's the best solo i ever heard. \m/
Yeah your right, also an Esp Dave Mustaine signature (for some solos, owned by Andy Sneap and borrowed for the album) and I believe a Fender Telecaster for cleans :) Haha I only know all this because Ben told me; I had a couple of guitar lessons with him a while back and we talked about what gear he used at some point!
Such a shame Ben from what I gather isn't in the music scene anymore he's such a proficient guitarist.
still waiting for part 2
And the one of the best Welsh bands too!
It's in C#. The original version was in Drop D but the album version was dropped half a step.
They used drop D for the Bridges... EP, and they were going to record the album City of Vultures in E standard (The Serpent, This Day is Mine and the title track) and drop D (everything else), but to make it easier on Austin's vocals, the band decided to move everything a 1/2 step down, and this is the album version in drop C# you hear in this video :) If you want to play the album version, drop C#, and the EP version, drop D :P Ben told me himself at a guitar lesson, so its reliable lol XD
I wanna be able to play this so baaad >< will the second part have a lesson/tab/slower playing?
i can play the song now except solo basicly :P great playing and sick tune :D
By they way, what tuning do you use in the song? i found some tabs, some of them where drop C# and some drop D...
def not the my fav song ever, very far from it, but, one the best solos of all time, bestial.
It's really sad that Rise To Remain decided to break up and left Adam+Ben for the new band. All I can think is "What Ben gonna do?" He got a talent but I'm scared that he's gonna stop doing music. Ben, of you read this message I'm begging you to assure us that you're not going to stop. At all. I've tried your twitter even instagram but I think you're not there anymore. Ben, don't quit and please give us some news about your life. Thanks.
no way......... are you sure?! oh god, it's breaking my heart:(
It such a waste, I can't believe it.
***** The Drummer left and then Ben did for personal issues in his life if i remember rightly and has decided to just quit music in general. Austin and the others felt it wrong to continue without them under the name RTR so they formed As Lions. Such a shame but at least we still get to hear 3/5 of RTR continue
yep, I already felt bitter when Pat left but then Ben. Yeah I know but still tho, such a waste. With that kind of talent, I'm sure he can be on top if he decided to continue.
When is second part coming out?
Album was a blend of a Peavey 6505 head into a Mesa 4x12 and a Bogner Uberschall into formentioned cab :)
Oh you're right, sorry, i confused him with Glenn Proudfoot.
However what makes you think Andy would be a better guitar-player, than Ben?
If it comes to speed, Ben matches and surpasses Andy (arpeggios in The Serpent and alternate-picking afterwards for an example). Also i don't think, that you can compare a solo-guitarplayer with one who plays in a band.
Wow he taught you :o thats so fucking cool, I'm normally quite composed as a fan but my god this guy is actually in my eyes the best player I've ever seen! My bands guitarist and myself idolise him :D
The BEST English metal guitarist. Hands down.
Those sweeps tho!!!
Why did these guys quit?
i just noticed that he is using a peavey vypyr 15... i though it was a 30 watt or higher but i have the same 15 watt
what are the settings of this amps? he's using a xxx simulator?
i can't believe the camera changed for the sweeps; how am i meant to learn it now? :(
Lol a lot of people idolise him! :P Ive actually kinda lost interest in the band, but I still totally respect Ben as a player - he's fucking awesome! He was a good teacher, but didn't really go over the things as slowly and carefully as I would have liked, just kinda expected me to be able to do these things lol. One hell of a player though, got probably the best vibrato of any guitarist I've come across along with Adam D and Adam Nolly Getgood :P
best guitarist hands down haha
Well every teacher has their habits :) But yeah i've never heard someone make a guitar sing so well!
Top
what guitar model is that? ltd ..?..
Thanks =)
I wish they'd have just made a tab to be honest. Can't get anything from this whatsoever other than their Guitarist is awesome.
Now if we could get Austin to explain how the fuck he does that with his voice, we will be set.
Who the feck is Loomis, Ben tovey a whole lot better than anyone around at the moment or even in the past.
dont get me wrong i love ben tovey and RtR but as far as english metal guitarists , check out Andy James, he will blow your mind.
My god... :`) you`r right!
fucking killer!
Drop D on the E.P version but on The Album version it's Drop C#
no my friend that is what i call a god
you good i loveyouuuuuuuuuuuuuu
RTR isn't from wales?
ltd mh-1000 :) nice one
which is it exactly?
Drop C# or Drop C ??
Ben played a few shows with Bullet for my valentine, but he is very english
i want the settings he used.. :(
what guitar is this
2:53 is your best chance to look i think, i'm trying aswell
3:15 the reason you all came. Thank me later
Just another day at the office
How do you even write stuff this friggin hard?
I love this song but this is not a tutorial video, i cant learn to play tha solo because its played on normal tempo, when you do a tutorial you suposse to do the same song but slower,so the fans can learn Slowly each part of the song.
Anyways,really good guitar player! Ihave the same guitar!
I have that guitar in blue :P
Josh Middleton (from Sylosis) ;D
Look at him keeping a straight face during that solo. If I tried to play that I would make so many fucked up spaz attack faces.
dat sweep solo..
i'm my opnion, this have a lot more feeling! But Loomis... is Loomis
Because Ross. Because.
Honestly, you can not say anything until you have listen to some of his original music. Go listen to mercurial or the ultimatum by him, your opinion will shortly change.
it's an ESP LTD MH-1000 fr i believe
WTF!!!
andy james
vypyr power
I clicked on this video because I thought he was wearing a sweater vest at first o-o
TABS please
Fuck me that solo...
idk about that Josh from Sylosis is my favorite anyways
andy james is brittish, born in norfolk :P
Salve ^^ seu que ela vai demorar a achar esse comentário mesmo
And if i were to rank guitarplayers for technical skill only Andy James wouldn't even be within the top 4.(1.Tiago della Vega 2.Shawn Lane 3.Glenn Proudfoot 4.Rusty Cooley)
ESP LTD MH-1000FR I think.
Jeff Loomis is better than Rusty Cooley in my opinion. And Ben Tovey is awesome. I said they're different. And also Andy plays for Sacred Mother Tongue as well.
Drop D
Andy James is probably better. But they're different. And Ben Tovey is awesome
Please, stop all of this arguing about who is the better guitarist...
None of them even compare to Jeff Loomis.
Ben....... Are you human?
I don't usually like metal, but the techniques used here are too good not too like, ridiculous playing!!
I have to disagree with that, I mean he's really good, but not as good as Andy James
No he isn't
I hate this guys look in the face - so calm, so annoyed, so bored, like he's playing some folk shit about 3 chords. If I play like a God himself, I will definitely don't stare like this! I will be full of fucking PRIDE, look noobs how to play a fucking electric guitar !!! And this solo, look, I have eargasm with all you listeners at once !
