Customer Reviews
My favorite podcast of all!
I’ve listened to this podcast since the very first episode. I’ve learned so much from Ben—he presents information in such a simple and informative manner.
Ben—some episode ideas:
- Classic slide licks, perhaps artist
- Turnaround variations
- Understanding timing (4/4, 6/8 etc)
- Advice for playing live (especially if you haven’t done much before)
Great Stuff
Ben is a great teacher. Personal growth and improvement are easy with Ben’s way of instruction.
Thanks Ben!!!
