Members HumanFuseBen Posted June 24, 2012 Members Share Posted June 24, 2012 http://soundcloud.com/benlacyit is hard typing with these stubs. Lacy is from another {censored}ing planet! All of this is one guitar, no overdubs, no loopers, no nothing. He just picks up a guitar and makes it sound like this. Holy moly.Listen to Perpetual Pendulum. Hell, listen to them all! Guy is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members boonestunes Posted June 26, 2012 Members Share Posted June 26, 2012 Ben is a local legend here in my hometown. I've taken lessons from him a couple of times (and subsequently sold all my gear)... To top it all off, he's s super nice guy, and ge can play anything- shred, bebop, classical.... He's amazing. And he's playing at The Pub here in Lexington tonight.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool for about 30 seconds, and then I realize it's pretty effing repetitive and boring Respect the talent, but... It must have some appeal since he's demoing at the Apple booth at NAMM. I can see why some wouldn't find it accessible though but I am a bass player too and like Victor Wooten's stuff so I kinda dig it. It would be hard for me to see how it would fit into all but the most specialized band setting however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tedmich Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 Nice! I play with a similar technique; no pick and percussive but why doesn't he fret with his right hand or have any gain? go too bassy and it can get like this...G3MpfcZfVvw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be hard for me to see how it would fit into all but the most specialized band setting however. I'm a bass player too and love Victor's stuff...The problem is, there is no depth to what he's doing...It's a guitar slapping and popping, which doesn't sound as good as a bass, because it's missing frequencies...With this, it would sound much better with a backing track to kind of add some depth to the sound. As it is, it's just bland and boring to me. I will finish with saying this is JUST my opinion...People are inclined to like what they want, but to me, it leaves me wanting more than what is provided.
