​@actualturtle2421 getting the timing properly is the tricky part. It's kind of like master of puppets. The double down on the 6th before the turn around acting as a reset. A lot od begginers either do the double down but don't do the turn around in the right time, or they completely omit the double down and do the turn around riff spot on lol

I almost woke my wife up from laughing when I saw you on the toilet. This is a series I'll be watching religiously. You're right when you say Mastodon rocks

“To make friends and influence others”; probably the best thing I’ve heard you say.

"...even more lowlier". You're awesome man!

This 5 minutes and 50 seconds were almost as good as the first time I heard Oblivion. (A song that's 5 minutes and 50 seconds)

First video I've watched of yours & I must say you won me over instantly. Mastodon does indeed rock, one of my favorite bands. The sense of humor in this vid is awesome as well.

Dude this is the best video of yours I’ve ever seen. You cracked me up constantly, and the information was super accurate and useful. Cheers.

This video is magical, so is your delivery between riff demonstrations.

Been watching a while but this is my favorite so far. Educational and the flat delivery is hilarious. The flat delivery actually seems more you. And the pose with the trophy. Classic.

Well done! Mastodon keeps us guitar nerds busy with every album. Best band in recent decades!

Your tone is so spot on it's insane. If I heard your track and the original I wouldn't be able to tell you which one is which. Excellent job!

I absolutely love Mastadon. I saw them first at Download and been a massive fan ever since. Awesome video as always Ben lad 😜👍🔥🎸

Freaking hilarious Uncle Ben,from the deadpan delivery ,the Swayze in the background to the Batman shower curtain. And of course your excellent breakdown of the music!!

Very entertaining and educational at the same time Uncle Ben... Actually I was busting a gut through the whole thing... loved it man!

Great info and entertaining. I agree, would love to see more of these.

Loved the video! the humor is right up my alley, while I was chuckling at you on the toilet, I was sipping a 16oz yeungleung when you pulled yours out, intensifying the lulz. perfect dude

Mastodon being my favorite band, this instantly became my favorite YT video. Subbed! I love your approach to the video and your attitude. Pretty funny and informational stuff.

Ben's guitar insight is only surpassed by his comedy genius!!

Mastodon, Swayze, and a toaster oven in the same vid! Pure genius Ben.

you really nailed the tones so well. Greatier job my man!

I'm not a guitarist but this is probably one of my favorite videos on all of KZread. Awsome band. Steller display of what they do. Great humor. Fucking nailed it brother!

Hi uncle. This is one of your best videos. Ciao.

'Mastotone' :D

That was a superb video. Start to finish

Sometimes youtube feels devoid of channels to discover, which can actually entertain. Sometimes, the algorithm seemingly randomly spits out a pearl like this. Thank you for existing.

Uncle Ben, never stop doing these xD

I really enjoy the waynes world style monotone

Lol awesome! I love how the tone of the video also gives out a similar vibe to Mastodon's official apparitions.

Absolutely great video. Well done sir.

Great new series Ben !!!!!!!! Love the 2:50 part, you got my laughing out loud!

Haha! Well researched and funny as hell! When it got to you sitting on the pot I thought "what the hell is he going to do next??!!" I lol-ed many times. Thank you Uncle Ben;-))

every single example you played made me go and listen to those songs in full

Subscribed! Laughed learned, had a good time. Playing it ultra straight kills me. It's so funny,. Well done

Now we need a bladecatcher cover. Fucking incredible song

First time here! This is great!!!

I'm listening, learning and laughing. One of your best Ben!

I love this channel so much. So informative :)

4:34 oh......oh my

*takes notes furiously* ILL BE RICH! RICH!!

I very much enjoyed this video. Thank you.

I feel so much more smarterer after watching this video. Thanks Uncle Ben!

Uncle Ben, I think I speak for everybody when I say we need more videos like this about more artists. Opeth, Devin Townsend, Death and Meshuggah are a few suggestions this humble viewer was able to conjure up for you xD

I'm already enjoying this new series! Always loved the comedic and education combination! Maybe you should do Dream Theater next! You could also possibly do this for individual guitarists ;)
