By request! Here's one from the early days. I need to dig into some more TSO stuff, its really fun! This lick is really challenging due to the two way pick slanting you have to use to play it fast. I recall doing DOZENS of takes trying to nail it! Good luck!

Weekend Wankshop 56: Trans Siberian Christmas Carol of the Bells guitar lesson

twitter/instagram @BenEllerGuitars Lessons? BenEllerGuitars@gmail.com Ho Ho Ho and Merry Christmas! Uncle Ben here with a very festive holiday special episode of Weekend Wankshop. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus, Kwanzaa, or just play Friday, i think we all can agree that the end licks of Trans Siberian Orchestra's tune Sarajevo (Carol of the Bells) is hot as hell. TSO has hosted a legion of sick players over the years. I got to see them live about 8 or 9 years ago and it was a total blast. The lighting rig they've got is insane, and everyone is obviously a killer player. Lots of fun. This lesson covers the blazing ending licks, and i'm going to show you how to play both parts of the harmonies on the really shred parts. You and one of Santa's elves can blaze this up over the Christmas weekend and get a head start on earning a spot on the Nice List for next year. That's a quick version of Jingle Bells i recorded you're hearing! Maybe one of these days i'll do a little christmas EP of instrumental guitar fun. Thanks for watching, i hope you all have a safe and happy holiday and a great new year!!!
