Ben’s an absolute beast, glad he’s getting some recognition! This intricacy & power he plays with Whitechapel is stellar, but also the more alternative-sounding stuff they’ve been releasing recently is awesome as well! Really well-rounded player!

Ben really colors and fills in the completion of their music with Zach and Alex.

I'll never forget back at Whitechapels start Brandon and Ben would throw those guitars behind each other's backs and play each other's guitars. Sick memories from way back early 2000s here on Knoxville. I'm so proud of these guys and so thankful for the music. It's saved me from.some dark times in life

Ben Savage is a very talented guitarist. I'd day he's one of the main songwriters in the band. He brings the melodic nature to the music, as well as the dark extreme metal side. The other two guitarists, bring the hardcore and groove to it, as well as the thrashier elements. Wonder why their music keeps changing and progressing?

Ben is awesome person and musician! Kin is a deffinatly new step for heavy music. So emotional and brutal in the same time and without any rosewater like it was in 2000's era metalcore. I'm really impressed.

Every member of Whitechapel is a beast. Digging their craft 👌

The first riff you wrote you say "I just messed around on the guitar". Those are the best type of riffs tbh.

Ben is a savage guitarist !!! Cool PRS

The guys from Whitechapel grew up not too far from where I live. I'm friends with someone that grew up with them. I had never heard of Whitechapel until he played me some of their early work.

god daaaaaaaaaaaaamn that riff from the actual song Kin is gorgeous, I already know I'm gonna spend so much time trying to learn that once the album's out

Waking the fallen is a great album ,their best work imo

Hell yeah so nice to see Bens musical taste and the fact that he still jams to old Whitechapel too, vedi NIOCE

"Correctly" lmao dude. Yeah, it's the way Tony plays it, but honestly it's ridiculous to play it so high on the neck. He played an SG so he has ALL the neck room. Same with the "correct" way of playing Smoke on the Water. Idk why Ritchie Blackmore plays it the way he does, but it's honestly just silly.

He’s not playing it right though. It’s in the right position on the neck if that what you mean but he’s hammering on the wrong notes in the intro and there is a partial G chord at the end of each pass of the verse riff that he’s not playing.

Ben saying he was inspired by ATDI and played one armed scissor surprised me lol. Its cool to see who inspired the guitarists or musicians you listen too or are a fan of. Even with The Mars Volta, Omar Rodriguez Lopez is such an underrated guitarist and has composed some amazing technical guitar riffs.

Something about his personality reminds me of Dime. Idk why

It’s not just that. The facial hair, the chubby cheek look, and most of all, the way he’ll end ta riff with that sort of dime-y slide up and bend.

Im just a random stranger but my first one string jam was the overly common Smoke On The Water! Later the first actual riff I learned was Brainstew! There were other tunes I wanted to play but they seemed/sounded to difficult at that time even though i learned later that they weren’t. 🤘👺

@3:27, I couldn't help but notice that he plays that riff better than At the Drive-in does. I listened to that song for the first time after watching this video and it wasn't what I expected after seeing him play it.

@@stevecaron6609 He didnt really make himself clear, but the reason he suggested The Mars Volta is because they're most of the same members from ATDI. They were sick of being a hardcore band so they became a super beyond amazing, honestly legendary prog band, right in between Coheed & Cambria and Dream Theater. (ATDI is also Coheed's biggest influence lol).

I wasn't expecting him to draw inspiration from Mastodon. I love that band

Loved him in Boy Meets World.

Chris Storey's sweeps from Awaken The Dreamers

About God damn time we got some of the Whitechapel guys

He is dimebags son hes such a look alike always a beast at guitar as well

Definitely one of my favorite guitar players. As soon as I heard prostatic fluid, I knew.

Jeez man, that riff from Devirgination Studies still has me grooving.

Good to see Whitechapel getting recognition. Not many well known southern metal bands around, even though the metal scene has always been huge in the south. A lot of people think we’re only into country. That’s BS. Metal is every bit as big, if not, bigger.

It's funny some of the riffs he played are some of the most iconic songs but normally guitar players on gear factor don't play them because they are well-known he plays hay lady by zeppelin and seek and destroy paranoid lol there obvious riffs but definitely favorites by all metal players Really cool perfect mix for great metal acoustic players seek and destroy gas such a cool intro if you're new to guitar its awesome just ripping that simple riff and sound like you know what you're doing lol
