What are your future plans for lessons?

And by any chance could you do an Alex Lifeson (Rush) lesson? your style kinda gives me an old rock n' roll kinda feel, i dont know if you are a fan of rush though.

actualy i dont know Alex Lifeson but i'll chek it now and
i see what i can do... and yes i love the old rock n' roll style
so i will do a little research on that guy and i'll try to come up with
somthing

Sounds great Ben,

may be worth talking with Muris as well (http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=7431)

as it would be particularly nice if you could cover different aspects of Lifeson's style.

Cheers,
Tony

Sure other members will come in with others Ben but some albums which I particularly like are 2112; Fly by Night and; Moving Pictures. I think there's probably a 'Best of Rush' album though what it's called I don't know.

Cheers,
Tony

I love your classical pieces. Its really awesome sounding stuff.


Are they original pieces?

How do you write/assemble your work?

Posted by: Ben N Nov 9 2007, 07:22 PM

Thanks except Classical Right Hand Technique Malaguena Lesson they are
all original pieces ( those 2 I learn years ago they are classical pieces )
about the rest of them I just sit down and start to improvise and it just
come out.. I start with one chord and trying to hear the rest in my head then
I'm just looking how to do it on the guitar if you have a couple of chord you
can record them then try to come up with some basic lead to folow them
ufter that try to combine them together you will find that is very intresting..
and then you'll see that you get wired looking shapes on the guitar so it realy
open your mind to new stuff...
hope thats answer your question... if there is somthing more let me know
and good luck

So Ben
Tell us alittle about yourself,like how long you have been playing.Your main influences and whats your favorite stuff to play.Did you go to school to study music and what are your goals as a musician

Posted by: Ben N Nov 16 2007, 11:06 PM

I'm 23 years old and living in Israel in a small town nothing
much to do here so recently I started to take the guitar much more
seriously.. I'm playing since I'm 12 and I took for three years classical
lessons.. it helped a lot but the main problem is that I did'nt learn theory
I just wanted to play ( stupid me ) I was a kid and I did'nt know what I
need so all the work of learning scale and improvise etc... ( playing on the electric )
I learn myself so it took me a lot of
time ( there were nobody to show me ... so my progress was very slow...
ever since a joined here and seen all the great teachers here doing crazy stuff it rely
inspire me and open my mind and now I just know what I need to practice and how to get were
I want to be... my goal as a musician is to make a living doing the thing I love the most
( playing off course!! ) so I started doing that I'm teaching guitar lessons I have a few students
so it rely pushes me to be in a higher level... the most important thing for me is to always be
and feel that I'm progressing and moving foreword the last 4 years I did'nt make any at all...
so that basecly it...
my life story in short... hehehe

Ben, I just wanted to let you know that i love your lessons. You have a very smooth style that relies on very unique compositions and non typical progressions. You really put soul into your playing and it shows in every note. Thanks for your participation at this great site. You are a fantastic addition. Max

Posted by: Ben N Nov 27 2007, 12:29 PM

wow thank a lot for the kind words I'm really appreciate it!!
and its my pleasure to be here in GMC !!!
I'm glad that my lessons inspire you ן

and a very cool picture!! love that movie
( a rocker gladiator heheh )

which ones did you like the most?? so I'll know
in what direction to aim next time...

Posted by: Maximus Nov 28 2007, 07:04 AM

I particularly like the Don't Take, Pent. Bending and Int. Solo. Those are the ones i've tackled so far but I plan to dig into the acoustic stuff next. I look forward to your next lesson. Max

Posted by: Ben N Nov 28 2007, 11:23 PM

thanks I got your taste I think... I started resently to play
classic music so I have a couple of those lessons planed ( this music really open your mind!! ) but
also I have more solo lessons on the electric in the same style that you dig
and a couple riff lessons... so hope you like what is next to come

Posted by: Art Mar 12 2008, 10:22 PM

Ben, Please tell us how you get your killer sound. Amp, pedals, settings...... Thanks

Posted by: drummingguitarist06 Apr 7 2008, 10:05 PM

For real. Is that Gibson LP Std. or Studio? Whatever you have it's fantastic. You are probably my favorite instructor stylistically, the music you play is EXACTLY what I want to play, even down to the acoustic stuff (classical is not really my thing, fun to watch, but I mean more of your more solemn, minor piecees).

If I had the money, I would personally fly you over to USA and make you be my teacher for a year lol. . But keep ripping the awesome tracks, because I trying to learn your technique and style. Thanks!
