This is a totally new style of video for me, and i hope you all like it! Its kind of a guided tour through a classic record as opposed to a note by note lesson. I had a lot of fun doing it, and already wanna make more videos in this format! Lemme know if you all think its a good idea, and what records i should do next!

We are gonna break down individual riffs and pieces of these songs and talk about what makes them work from a theory and harmony perspective on guitar and bass. And probably get a good chuckle in here and there, too. Playing my PRS Hollowbody into a Pepers Pedals Dirty Tree into a Mesa Boogie Dual Rec i just got, into the Suhr RL/IR box for direct recording. What record should i listen to next week? Mastodon? Opeth? Van Halen? Metallica? Megadeth? Let me know in the comments!

Hi Ben I enjoyed the video. For one, I never listened to that album before (only ever heard Heritage). I enjoy regular album retrospectives and reviews like Sea of Tranquility (YT channel), so the guitar aspect is a nice take on that format. I would like to see more, especially if the choices are interesting / haven’t been widely covered elsewhere.
