I'm convinced that when Warren and Jake E. Lee were roommates they had contests on who could come up with the stretchiest riffs to play.

Finally, a Ratt Riff vid that will make my Ratt Riffs not sound like mouse poop....
-
You gotta do a Lynch one soon

The stepmom comments made me giggle. Warren and Robin made an excellent guitar duo, RIP Robin. I remember an interview with Jake E. Lee where he mentioned Warren's playing and he had to literally use his thumb in order to make the chord stretch.
-
I learned "Your in Love" by watching Warren from the front row at the concert.

Hey I just found your channel. I can't believe you youngsters would want to learn the old Ratt or any other music from my era. I appreciate you fellas keeping this genre of music alive.

Great Band, Great Riffs.

Ben's knack for guessing my stepmom's nicknames in high school is UNCANNY!
-
Figuring out different ways of playing something is very useful anyways, cuz it just helps your understanding of the fretboard and theory concepts and all. There's merit in learning something exactly as it's supposed to be played, but only assholes will care if you play it differently while still generally sounding right.

Lay It Down is one of my favorite riffs. Gonna be watching this one again and again. Much love from NC🤙🤙🤙
-
I’m with you on the barre chords, growing up learning guitar I always played them with the first and third finger because that is what you are “supposed to do“. Somewhere along the way I naturally started using my first and fourth finger. I don’t think I even realized it because several years ago I stopped playing looking at my hand, slightly confusedicated and asking myself “when the hell did I start doing that”? It just felt more natural.

Nothing like being funny 😆 and awesome at your craft at the same time! 🙌 You nailed it as always, Ben! You’re a Riff Master 👏 ❤️
-
My eyes are up here! 🤣🤣🤣. Warren and Jake's licks are some of the stretchiest licks out there. Cool lesson man!
-
I just reached up with my tiny little hands and dusted off the Ratt dreams I shelved long ago. Thank you sooo much!
-
Yes! Leon Todd did something similar with some DiMartini riffs... I think it's absolutely essential to learn how the actual song/riff is played, but it's also nice to have some shortcut versions in your back pocket. Love it! \,,,/
-
That red Les Paul is beautiful!
-
Loving the little shreddy filler bits in between each song 👍
-
This is TOTALLY AWESOME DUDE! I was a HUGE Ratt fan back in high school in the 80s. I even had a Ratt jacket patch, lol. Saw them headline with Bon Jovi for the Invasion of Your Privacy tour. Gettin to work on these right away. Thanks, Uncle, Ben!
-
Love this! I actually had to accept that my hands aren't that big after all of these years. Makes sense why certain licks, and even guitars, are harder to play!
