Here here! Ben Lapps plays with more feeling than most guitarists I have seen. To be honest, I think the reason this young man knows the fretboard so well is because he feels the music on top of the dedication to his art. Such a great sight to see
It should go without saying that he is a great musician, but can we talk for just a second about how that smile could light up the world? 10 years later I hope the kid has grown into a man who smiles just as bright.
It's kind of mind-boggling the way he plays. He doesn't necessarily play the guitar like a guitar, but treats it more along the lines of a piano, with both hands having two separate parts and sounds, instead of both hands working together to make one sound. It's incredible. I've never heard anything like it.
How the hell is is this kid NOT as famous as Justin Beiber or any of those other canned "superstars"? Man this guy has talent. I could listen to him all day.
I'm blown away!!! You're absolutely amazing. I love the acoustic guitar. You're going to do more great things. I would love to see some of your more Recent stuff🎶❤️
He's the drummer for the band Public right now. You should go check them out but I agree I am completely blown away by his skill on guitar. Like he could make a living off of this right now
TUFF BURN OUT TEAM .com.say"s YOU ARE FANTASTIC AT WHAT YOU DO ? GREAT TO HEAR YOUR MUSIC GO FORWARD IN LIFE AND WE HOPE YOU DO REALLY WELL FOR YOUR SELF
You are amazing! You'll be famous in the near future. I can't wait to see you grow and mature as an artist. Your talent is as beautiful, powerful and clear as the mighty Churun Meru. I wish you the very best!
@mydogboris Unlike music a painting is a static object you can examine in detail at leisure while music has flow, movement in real time. A canvas packed with an over abundance of colors and forms can still be seen bit by bit but music that is over done becomes noise. They are two completely different forms of expression each with it's own boundaries, if you are capable of distinguishing the different intonations and they please you enjoy but don't expect everyone to share your taste. I don't.
I am not shitting on this guys technical prowess but I think all of the indulgence in his playing takes away from the emotion of the original recording. Good job anyway it is extremely impressive.
Yeah rockers and metalheads really only care about the playing. Everything comes second. It really boils down to who is wants to try something different (memorable musicians), and those who make exact copies (fan musicians who want to nail their favorite songs). People can be drones without knowing they are, and that's why we get 1 individual in every 5 musicians. Some people refuse to be different because it is not their nature, which is situational irony because they like instrumental music.
The fact that this was recorded with a phone/camera, and sounds THIS amazing just makes it even better.
I've been a Led Zeppelin fan for over 25 years and this has always been a favorite of mine. Young man... YOU just gave ME goosebumps!!!!!
How can anyone give this talented young man a thumbs down??? You people are crazy! He is an amazingly talented dude! Rock on bro!
maybe because they're jealous, it's the only thing that comes to mind. Ben is mindblowing

ずっと聞いていたい。
そんな気持ちになりました。
The fact that this was shot between set change and was a crowd request makes it even better than that.
i love how he is smiling, just having a good time. AWESOME

ほんとにギターから出る音なのかって疑っちゃうレベルで凄い
Frickin' AMAZING! So nice to see a young man that realizes that music, real music, needs more than a bass guitar and a drum...such a great talent...
This kid restores my faith in humanity. Keep up the good work.
How the hell is is this kid NOT as famous as Justin Beiber or any of those other canned "superstars"? Man this guy has talent. I could listen to him all day.

@whitespaniards Where did you learn this type of way to play?
the hammer ons and pull offs this kid has are INTENSE
Does anyone know what kind of musculature and neural impulse system he's using?
You are amazing!
You'll be famous in the near future. I can't wait to see you grow and mature as an artist. Your talent is as beautiful, powerful and clear as the mighty Churun Meru. I wish you the very best!
just amazing
I thought the same, what the hell! I wouldn't even be able to stay so unaffected by this music if I wanted to lol, it's so inspiring.
Gotta Love IT!!!!! :) WOW! Such talent!
It's even lovelier because he is indeed 'having a good time'. Nice interpretation.
For this legend to be true, there must've been a survivor...
The best zep covers are always the ones that sound the most unique
fantastic
people behind him:
'would love to stop and listen, but have to get things ready for those much less talented than you'
Notice the people behind him paying attention. They are amazed. The one's milling around are missing out. Ben is an extremely talented musician.
fingerstyle; freestyle, of Led Zeppelin's Going to California ~~Awesome
thumbs up ,,, so sweet
I need to play this now!
Thanks Kyle. At least we got a chance to hear him, hope he makes it.
Crazy shit much respect.
He's not a kid, this was a while ago. Look up Ben Lapps. He's boss
wow he is awesome.stanley jordans stairway to heaven is awesome to.gotta love talent.
Must engage all caps for this... BEST EVER!!
It's a Taylor X14ce of some type, I can't quite make out the type of wood it's made out of but I'd probably 614 or 714ce.
Bravo!
What is the name of this player?
who could possibly be going on after this kid that theyre setting up for??? He should be the headliner
Truly awesome!
