@@AllGamingStarred If you check out my video 'Speed picking - What They Don't Tell You'.. that hand position is the most closely linked to rhythm playing, especially fast 16th note riffing. If you do loads of that, and do it for at least 30 seconds and build up your strength and stamina that way, that'll help
BenHigginsOfficial Heh yeah :D Hey Ben, if you have never explored Indian Carnatic style shredding and phrasing, check out Baiju Dharmajan. He has this unique style of playing which includes lots of grace notes and slurs and sliding and I think you'd love it if you haven't seen anything like that before. I personally consider him a legend. It'd mean a lot to me if you checked him out and maybe did a solo in his style on your channel. Thanks for all the inspiration. Have a great day! :D
Utkarsh Talwar I love those Indian style slurs and slides and sometimes try to incorporate them myself. I do something similar in my track, Hektor Tamer of Horses.. in the 1st verse. I just checked him out - it's good, it's a shame he doesn't have more videos.
BenHigginsOfficial That's amazing! *goes to listen to Hektor - Tamer of Horses* Umm yeah he doesn't upload many videos but if you check out his previous band Motherjane's album Maktub, I think you'd fall in love with the solos. I worship the Fields of Sound solo and Broken solo. :D You can find both the songs on RUclips too.
I typically associate Janick Gers' playing with the licks he plays at the end of his solos in Hallowed be thy name(live ones). I wonder why nobody covers that, they're awesome!
You nail just about every player. We can talk about Steve Morse's staccato style.... or we can tak about your obvious love for FLAT 6's! Hopefully air-cooled haha!!
+BenHigginsOfficial Actually I thought he was spot on with many of them, but his guthrie was too linear. Excellent job though man, emulating these styles is not easy and takes a tremendous amount of patience and analysis. NICE JOB!
13, 17, 18, and 19 were ON POINT man! awesome. props for adding Warren DiMartini in there! lol. Ratt 'n' Roll my brother!! also nearly pissed myself laughing at your bonus round Little Wayne impression. that dude plays the guitar about as well as Helen Keller plays tackle football.
I never get tired of watching your videos ! It immediately kicks me in the ass and makes me pick up my guitar...which I just did before typing this LOL .I love how you have incorporated SO MANY of the guitar players that have influenced me over the years. Great work sir ! Cheers !!!
You have and incredible knack for emulating players. I'd LOVE some videos that talk in depth about the technical elements of the players' that make up their styles.
What to say, the pure perfection , and this even more natural! .It´s nice to see that you included "newer" guys too - Petrossi and Suicmez, i think that the world will hear more of them, in the future... I bet that the only person who disliked the video was Lil´ Wayne :D
You're a killer player, Ben. Really nailed those guitarists. I shall watch this video many more times in the hopes that one day I may also acquire a fraction of Lil Wayne's impeccable tone, technique, and feeling.

I listened to Mathias IA Eklundh when he was support for Steve Vai in Sweden at UKK in Uppsala at Uppsala Internationella Gitarrfestival. It was insane! :)
Ben, kudos for another kick-ass 30 Shredders video. I found your solos very well representative of each guitarist, and I will say that you play some mean Reb Beach, Herman Li and Akira Takasaki
GOD DAAAAAMN!!!!! That lil wayne part looks impossible. Not many people can replicate solos from THE guitar god lil wayne, but you are one of the few who can. Im forever in awe at this incredible feat of amazingness
Amazing Ben...you're like a crazy professor in guitar oh maybe a "God"...umm btw...i just want to give some idea which could you create a classical masterpieces in guitar version especially from Niccolo Paganini's works... like Caprice No. 24 (like Jason Becker did) because i found that many peoples are attracted on classical music especially when it are arranged in metal tune...haha i know it pretty lame idea...well it's great to have you and your drummer in this world...because we are always appreciated the amazing masterpieces from people like you Ben...greeting from Malaysia...
#9 is by far my favourite virtuoso to date, not saying i dont like any of the others, but Guthrie comes up with some amazing stuff, and he's equally as articulate playing on the clean channel. Ner Ner and Flatlands = epic!
Janick Gers's solo seemed heavily inspired from "Different World", though I can't figure out what song used the intro idea for the solo as well... Awsome video! The use of a real drum set ads a lot to the track, and the extra time for each shredder helps me understand their style more than your other video which is an improvement (the Michael Angelo Batio bit from the original video you made is amazing, but the real deal didn't realy impress me musically as much as the solo bit. Don't get me wrong though, that is one of my favorite bits of that video). A lot of these shredders seem very interesting, I'll defenitely check their bands out in the close future!
That was sick man, not even gonna bother to burst your bubble with a list of guys you forgot like I did last time XD Really excited to see Reb Beach in there though, that guy is still criminally underrated.
2:50 John 5 is such a great guitarist and musician. To be honest, i watched the video just to check him out. :D Video is great btw. edit: LMAO when Lil Wayne part come up. :D He has a peculiar tecnique.
I hope you do another one in the future too, there are still some shredders that you havent done and id love to see your attempt at recreating their style ben! Ahaha
For some who can play as well as you, I was most impressed with your video on how to AVOID MINDLESS SCALE RUNS AND CREATE MELODIC SOLOS. I actually watched it first, then this popped up, I rarely watch the full videos of just solos, but I was so captivated by your talent I had to watch this all the way through, and you do need to work on the lil wayne stuff. LOL Very impressive stuff man,
If you think that Lil Wayne is the best guitarist ever then you've never heard Fred Durst. I challenge you, Ben! But I know it's futile, you'll never reach that level of technicality. 🎸
BenHigginsOfficial Hey man, eternally grateful for the 30 shredders video (it'll keep me up at night for the rest of the year lol). I was wondering about something, I can't for the life of me find any site that provides any solution to it, but any time I play fast, or just at a relatively quick pace my guitar tends to get kinda noisy, I guess it's due to accidentally hitting other strings or letting neighboring strings ring whilst playing. Do you know any solution to hammering out this problem? I basically want my playing to sound as clean cut as possible.
I actually thought you were also the one playing drums. Craaaazyyy dude! Never heard about Akira Takasaki, definitely checking him out after this. This is too good!!!

Rhythm player here, What techniques do i need to practice?
@@AllGamingStarred Hi, what is it you're looking to achieve? Speed, stamina, solos?
@@BenHigginsOfficial speed and stamina

0:39 How do you get the effect of two guitars?
Huh, you aren't even close to what Master Wayne can do with his left index and his right thumb. But at least you tried.
LoL
Master Wayne!
Lmfao
Loved seeing McLaughlin and Di Meola back to back. Go fusion!
Nice work Ben!
That last bit cracked me up! XD
Mind blowing job as always, Ben!
Thanks Utkarsh, I think it's everybody's favourite !

That Mattias Eklundh lick was spot on! good job!
Thanks, it wasn't easy !!
That Demartini lick is fucking dead on man! I love these videos.
Thanks!
What about Joe Stump, Andy Timmons, Andy James, Tony MacAlpine, Jeff Loomis and... Buckethead? Also, another incredible video. Keep it up!
+MICHAELHICKOXFilms Hi Michael, I did Tony, Jeff & Buckethead in another video on the GMC channel ruclips.net/video/oLyPMSMEnyQ/видео.html
+MICHAELHICKOXFilms I had no idea you were into this kind of music.
And Jason Becker??
Another unbelievable display of mastery! Two quick things: 1. your drummer's a beast! and 2. AKIRA!
Fredrikstad Åkkeson was spot on, reminded me of all the amazing Opeth solo's, good job ! Feels like you know every guitarist on the planet
Which one was the hardest to play?
(Aside from Lil Wayne of course)
Jennifer Batten and John 5.... just thinking about playing like Lil Wayne is harder than all the others combined.
What a bonus level! Ben, you are the man!
Spotted Dog Productions Attempting Lil Wayne is like climbing Mt Everest but I had to try!
I typically associate Janick Gers' playing with the licks he plays at the end of his solos in Hallowed be thy name(live ones). I wonder why nobody covers that, they're awesome!

Fantastic playing!

Ben, you went even more insane on this one!! you went fusion in the end! also you cracked me up on the last one!
Yeah, I even added some total porn bass as well. The only thing is, the Lil Wayne section keeps getting stuck in my head. It's my karma ! :D
just a little more practicing and you woill nail that one as well!
I'll keep trying !
I love the Heir Apparent influence in the Fredrik Åkesson solo. Great job!

This deserves a million views ! Hats off man! you killed me at the end!

Those of you who arent pleased with the list... Make your own damn list and play it! This was bad ass play! Nice going bro!

5150icantdrive55 I'm still working towards his excellence myself. We are all just beginners compared to Lil Wayne
BenHigginsOfficial LOL :D
Holy shit RUclips just recommended this absolute gem of a masterpiece and I have to say this is absolutely amazing! The drummer was fabulous aswell!!!
Thanks and yes he is 👍👍
woo, finally some justice for Luca Turilli, such an under appreciated guitarist and composer.

Thank you indeed
Oh my fucking God.
Btw I'm pretty impressed with that Lil' Wayne part,got any tabs for that? seems too complicated to play by ear :/
I'm not sure I could tab it out.. my skills don't exceed that far !
:(

sick little drum fill at the 2:00 mark! Top playing lads
Thumbs up,for Akira Takasaki & Jennifer Batten,monster players,totally underated.Hey,how about a Criss Oliva/Andy Timmons mashup-solo?
1 - 30: Sick!! Bonus: Hillarious ;) !! Thanks, truly great.
You should try RUclips shredders, Eric Calderone, Charlie Parra, Colle Rolland. Nice video again, like all of yours!
+YL1812 Thanks man. They're all kind of doing it already for themselves :)
Holy fuck! Holy fuck! Sooooo good represantation. Nuno and Beach were so easily recognisable. Wow.
I'd love to see you play the guthrie part a little longer :)
This video deserve more views. Well played dude!
Dude, you learned all this solos. That's a lot of work there. No kidding. But the last solo was the most amazing :P (now I am kidding).
Awsome! I could listen to every note.You play with sense
First time I have ever seen someone play Govans style so accurately. Well done mate top player
Thanks man !
Dude!!!! The bonus level!!! You nalied it. I mean, your playing skills are awesome, but that extra humor was just the right thing to do.
Lil Wayne... hands down.
Mind blowing talent man! Genius! And the bonus part was funny as f!
anyone got tabs for Lil Wayne?
