There is a level of skill that inspires you, and then theres a level that makes you want to never touch a guitar so that the instrument that this man wields shall never be tainted.
Quite the compliment, and I agree. But this has still inspired me to take up classical guitar for the first time. Ten years practice and I could be a master in my 50s ...
Absolutely great and stunning. Someone said that Metal and Flamenco are perfect combination and he was absolutely right. The best cover I have ever heard.
This is fantastic. The skill of course but the creativity and playfulness in the actual rendition really elevates the relatively basic beauty of the original.

I never comment but i feel compelled. Ben woods if you happen to read this... awesome job. Ive been playing a long time and I'm pretty decent but this is inspiring. Fantastic guitar playing.
YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN. So glad to see someone play Flamenco that has a strong metal background, love it man. I found out about you because I took a couple lessons from the Great Ricardo Marlow when I lived In Virginia... Love this style and keep on doing your thing!
You know what I like about this? Malmsteen couldn't touch this. I watch Ben and have to chuckle a bit with his surprising delicious guitar craziness here and there. That's flamenco for ya. Play to impress. Great job Mr Woods. Bravo!!
This is the most incredible cover which I have ever heard, it's better than actual song. You are fantastic guitarist and after this masterpiece you have one subscriber more 👏👏👏👏👏.
Bro this was radically good man so stupendous Mr. Woods. I live in Cali. But came to visit my family in India. For Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy new year. To you and your beloved family Sir. May the Lord Jesus bless you and your family.
listening to this as I just got denied entry in med school and Ben Woods passed, rough days. to everyone reading this something good is coming but you can take the night off and get black out drunk in your kitchen, just don't do it tomorrow
Great playing, love your mixing of Flamenco and Metal. If you land an acoustic endorsement deal you should have them build you an acoustic nylon string Rhoads offset V.

EpixArtwork I thought I was doing ok until I heard this guy now I realise I'm shit lol

the only hard aprt i see here is the chord fingering speed i guess
I think it's time to stop fooling myself and sell my guitar... :P
LOL... username is appropriate! @@ThatGuy16697
RIP Ben... ❤️❤️❤️ I'll listen & love your music till i meet you there...❤️❤️❤️❤️
What happened to him?
@@winstonsmith8236 cancer
Wait he passed away????
Gosh, really sucks !!
@@krasoos7501 yes he did unfortunately, pancreatic cancer if I can recall correctly
Just when I thought I've seen this song played every way possible I run across this dude. Incredible dude!
I love flamenco and I love metal...this is heaven for me
Glad I found Ben on RUclips. I grew up in the 80s with the best music, Sorry he passed. He seems awesome. Definitely an awesome guitar player. RIP.
sounds like there is 5 guitarists when you look away. this might be one of the greatest renditions of this song I have ever heard.
Never fails to blow me away every time I watch it. I love Ben's technique and amazing musicianship.
This is ridiculously well put together, sticking to the true feel of the original, just filled in with Spanish intricacies...job well done!
This is probobly one of the best covers on youtube RN

This proved to me that acoustic practice is not a waste of my time. Thank you sir I have subscribed.
It never is a waste of time, it will pay its dividend with perseverance ,keep at it, besides ,its good for the soul.
Who even says that it's a waste of time?
Yokai Seishinkage why would you think playing acoustic is a waste of your time
Its not an acoustic guitar..
Its a classical guitar

why this isnt too popular? this is amazing
You are one of the world top guitarists as far as I know...wonderfully talented you are.
This is the kind of video that should be in the trends of RUclips
I never comment but i feel compelled. Ben woods if you happen to read this... awesome job. Ive been playing a long time and I'm pretty decent but this is inspiring. Fantastic guitar playing.
Not only technically brilliant, but a very faithful and authentic arrangement as well, it sounded like Hatfield played it.
Fantastic, one of my favorite songs and one of my favorite playing styles together
Damn, that right hand is a machine, Ben.
Such a sad loss of a huge talent ❤
Holy shiiiiit. You are amazingly talented!
You're an astonishingly gifted player. Amazing stuff and very inspirational.
You're an awesome artist. I love your flametal. I love your work.
Beautiful tunes, beautiful performance
Absolutely beautiful piece. So moving.
Love it. Great touch.
He doesn’t give a shit to be famous. So humble, I lovm
Wonderful !
flamenco passion
Good ears! It is close to a part in "Journey into Fear" off the Elder, but simplified.
YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN. So glad to see someone play Flamenco that has a strong metal background, love it man. I found out about you because I took a couple lessons from the Great Ricardo Marlow when I lived In Virginia... Love this style and keep on doing your thing!
Ben should be on top ! he deserves more
You are a God Sir!
Because playing that intro riff on open strings is for noobs.
JazzMan i dont think that someone like him is a noob!!!!!!!!!??? 😂
Mohamed Sherif hes saying this because most people play the first couple of measures using only open stings but this guy (ben woods) does not
I don't know my bad 😊
The skillz the skillz I wish I had those skillz
You know what I like about this? Malmsteen couldn't touch this.
I watch Ben and have to chuckle a bit with his surprising delicious guitar craziness here and there.
That's flamenco for ya. Play to impress.
Great job Mr Woods. Bravo!!
Rest in Peace King! 🕊
Thank you. That was beautiful !
I've tried to play this Song and I love it but this version is Fantastic . Can you please make a tutorial of this version ? Please
This wizard strikes again
This is the most incredible cover which I have ever heard, it's better than actual song. You are fantastic guitarist and after this masterpiece you have one subscriber more 👏👏👏👏👏.
Has Metallica ever commented to your version? I thought it was very special and unique. Thank you. 🤘😎🤘
Again and again, amazing, cant stop hittin the repeat button
Awesome! It'd be nice to hear "The bard's song" on Flamenco Guitar also.
You have amazing right hand skills!!
Why the fuck are you not more famous?!
I've been listening to Flametal for years and have always asked myself this question.
Dean Whitehurst because the majoroty of people can't appreciate this or have thr patience to listen....maybe
Dean Whitehurst because simpleton people want simpleton mindless music. This is an experience to listen to and not many people appreciate real music
What an original and awesome way to do this song 😁😁😁
ANY song Ben Woods plays is fantastic magical awesome and more
Bro this was radically good man so stupendous Mr. Woods. I live in Cali. But came to visit my family in India. For Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy new year. To you and your beloved family Sir. May the Lord Jesus bless you and your family.
