9:10 to 9:20-yeah I appreciate what you say about writing writing the bass secondary to the guitar, lotta people don't understand that but as a guitar player who writes on the guitar I sure do! and thanks again for being there for all of us, one of the best guitar players out there working today and you still find the time for us folks

Man, I cannot thank you enough for this video. It completely unlocked this process for me. Self taught, struggling through GarageBand, but having watched this last night I’ve now tracked two demos. Thank you so much man.

What an incredible experience it is to watch and listen to the magic of a song being pulled out of wherever songs come from. I am not a musician but music is my saving grace. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I'm a terrible guitar player and have no clue as to what you are doing, however I absolutely enjoyed watching and listening to a pro ( from one of my favorite bands) create something so cool from scratch....

[stratos]

I enjoyed this video. Thanks for putting it together. Sometimes I struggle to write whole tunes. It was nice to sit back and watch how it’s done from another perspective.

Awesome, I've been listening to ATW a lot lately and just discovered your channel. Thanks for demoing your creative process, i learned a lot from it. Keep up the good work ❤

[samichpower]

This is amazing. Can't believe you did this in less than an hour, you make it look so easy! Thanks for the video

First Time watcher, subscribed, love the vibe. You had me at Bob Ross...

[Willemguitar]

Great timing Ben I was browsing for a new EZX pack I was in doubt of getting Alt-Rock or Big Rock Drums, thanks for helping me decide ;-)

[roar]

Thanks a lot Ben! You actually helped me choosing an overdrive pedal. I bought BD-2w and never looked at something else since, it's the BEST overdrive ever. Period.
Now I just need to find a fuzz pedal which I prefer as well!

[ianbroekemeier]

So sick, man. Almost Smashing Pumpkins-esque, or in that realm. Might be time to start a dedicated indie/alt project🤷‍♂️

[tomahawkhead]

Love it! great workflow, cant wait for another one

[albertovelasco]

tyvm for share your knowledge! u are awesome

[gabrielhughes]

Truly inspiring and engaging.... thank you good sir!

[andremanfrinigarcia]

Thanks for the videos man, this one in particular was very useful to me. I was just wondering how you got to your drums structure, what does the process looks like from that side, because it's usually tricky for me to decide on drum parts, giving the plugins offer so many different options at different tempos, . Thanks Ben, cheers.

[SCUD]

Awesome video! Makes me want to try come up with something myself and record even though I'm a beginner.

[frankburfoot]

Do you ever play slide with a resonator? Would love a demonstration if you do ! Have a great week!

[TockerBeb]

Very nice, Ben! Btw, come play in Aarhus, Denmark 8)
