LEARN THIS RIFF. Win a free guitar.

Please meet my friend Ben Gallaher. Ben is a country artist as well as a fantastic guitar player and drummer. He wrote this cool riff that you may have seen in my Shorts feed. Lots of commenters asked to learn it, so I thought it would be great to have Ben on the channel to teach us the riff. You could win a free Taylor guitar. Here's how:

1. Submit a short video of yourself playing the riff.
2. Post it here or on Instagram or wherever. Tag Ben and me.
3. One of you will win a Taylor GS Mini.
4. Submission deadline is Nov 17, 2023.

It's that simple. Enjoy!

Been working on this all day. There is so much more nuance and detail in this than I originally thought. From the dynamics of his picking to the very nuanced bending. The more you work on it the more you realize what a master Ben truly is. Good luck everyone !!!

Holy crap. Been checking out all of Ben's videos on his YouTube channel. The dude is a freak!

I just recently saw/heard that riff! I was floored. I thought it had a Steven Curtis Chapman vibe to it! VERY cool riff! I’m going to give it a shot!

Yep I must have watched that post 10 or 20 times in a row the first time I heard it!

Nice
If i could chicken pick, i would try it. 👍

[greki]

This is so cool! I'm definitely learning it but I know realistically as a 3 week beginner guitarrist I know I won't make it in time, lol, will still be fun tho!

[TexasJackdaw]

Amazing riff - looks WAY easier than it is. Especially with his pocket.

[jakesinclair]

Absolutely love Ben. Killer player, great songs!

[andrejgregoric]

dmn... in my sleep 😂. wish I had that kind of sleep. and what a sound from that guitar!

[MrTigger]

Love this riff! That muted part is great! His acoustic playing is dead on early Keith Urban! Great stuff!

[goswo]

Haaaa, thats easy, I can play that… I will send you a post, in. Well expect sometime between 12-25 years. Ohh then I could be dead. Next life maybe. Great great riff :-)

Hi Justin. I love your channel! Is the contest open to those of us outside the US (like…Australia…?)

[jimlee]

Thanks, great song and riff, Justin, sounds like you did some great electric parts on the song. It would be cool idea for a video for you to show those parts

Hey Justin, thank you and Ben! Two questions from Germany: 1. Which Time Zone on the 17th of November? Because here the same day ends at another time, I think. And 2. did I get it right: Post the video on Youtube (with you two tagged) and then ... the link here on your channel? or how do you both get noticed about my contribution? Thanks!

[vnvtraining]

Amazing Riff! 👍🏻🎸 Is that a huge crack on that Taylor’s Acoustic top! 😢

[dyinggenius]

I found this way too late. Im still gonna learn it because i want to, if it works out ill tag you regardless

[matelegrady]

Hey Justin! Thanks for the amazing video! Is the contest open for Europeans as well?
