Kristofer Dahl3rd December 2012I can't think of a word strong enough to describe this one Ben - this lesson is way beyond amazing and will go into the GMC history book for sure!
Also, the way you have analysed each style will probably even inspire people who have never even considered learning these styles.

This is beyond amazing! Absolutely outstanding! Un-freaking-believable! You're totally badass!
Mind if I ask what settings you're using for your JVM 410H? - Ben Higgins17th January 2013This is beyond amazing! Absolutely outstanding! Un-freaking-believable! You're totally badass!
Mind if I ask what settings you're using for your JVM 410H?
Thanks !! For the lead parts I use OD1 Chanel, Orange setting. Bass around 1, Mid around 5 and Treb around 6 or 7. Rhythm parts used the OD2 channel with less Mid and slightly more Bass. I've changed the knobs so many times since then but that's approximately what I used. - adibarve10th February 2013
Classic and spot on!!! Thats a lot of study, by you and for us!!
