FAQ You #8 w/Andy Wood! Hardest techniques, warmups, homeschool, and more

Live at the Bijou = fantastic live album ruined by lame vocalists, the bloodbaths that is midnight train to Georgia and bill withers use me could have ben epic covers butchered by lame arse vocals.

Funny bastards

Home schooled? Very cool. Both you guys rock!

I saw you ben in a video titled “7 guitarists you should know.” You’re the eighth

If you guys did this every month I would watch it. I bet one or two other people would also. So when do you start?

The wit of these fellers!

What does "metric legato" mean?

I’m a new fan of your channel, Uncle Ben. I’m catching up on your vids. You have a cool attitude and style. Hearing you two talk about picking techniques made me realize that I’m at about step-dad level. Your videos have set me back a little because I realized how bad my picking technique has become and why I’ve hit so many serious roadblocks. Given a little time, I’ll get over the initial shock of how bad my picking is and, hopefully, grow as player. Gotta stay on it, for sure! Thank you for all your time, effort and great content!

Andy who?? Neeever heard of him.

He looks like Kevin Rudolf

Who do I need to blow to get a shredneck lesson series from Andy?

I definitely can't live a happy life listening to AC/DC

did Andy say ‘Steve Vow’?

Thanx for all your great (life)lessons and material! would love to see a "how to" for the sweep at the beginning of the painkiller solo

You guys have a good chemistry together. Y’all would make a good team for a regular appearance and discussion. together.

If I was limited to only listening to AC/DC, then I wish to either be dead, or deaf. haha

Really interesting interview: be great to see a video and maybe cover some of the techniques of the Late Great Shawn Lane from Memphis

I came up with a question recently, when I noticed in which area you live.
Have you ever seen a tornado? Or have you even been in trouble because of one? Besides guitars and music, I am a big fan of tornadoes and would love to see one one day.
Thanks! :)

If I had to pick one genre Hair Metal would probably be it. That or instrumental rock

I enjoyed this video. It's cool to hear who some of your influences are and some of your struggles. Thanks for sharing!

Disappointed that no one thought to say “Commandy”

man, I need tabs for truth and lie, such an awesome tune

I knew I saw you on stage with Andy... Great vids, great playing... Thank you

Loved the show!

Plini is the man. Love his melody writing.

Ahhhh Classic HCAF. God I miss that place (I was: NixerX)

AXPena... that's my name!

2 awesome fucking guitar legends right there folks!! Don't get much better than that!!

Doesn't surprise me at all hearing him say Church Street Blues. All the great bluegrass flatpickers have phenomenal right hands.

Nice shirt man.

Good to know that when Andy plays live, he doesn't push it, he just plays what "he can" instead of just "blasting". I'm going to go hit myself in the head with a hammer until I forget. 😫 
Brilliant fucking player. Jeez...

So, I must say, I just watched that "Truth and Lies" video. The song is good(though I'm not much into Country, I can Appreciate the music), but IMHO, it's not really a 2 guitar song. I watched some other stuff, the Sitar and mandolin were amazing(but again, I really don't like Country). Now I know how Country guys feel watching my old Knife making videos with metal and Punk(though new videos, I have removed the vocals), hahaha Take it easy.

Damn I'm real weird then, I have iTunes on my Android lol. Downloaded the album!

Lol! I remember HCAF! Migrated to RigTalk when HCAF got ridiculous. Met Andy filling in for Disciple years ago...

Why does Andy remind me of John marston from red dead redemption

Ben, is any chance you can check out panos avarnitis?

I think you and him should collab, it would be awesome! He's absolutely fantastic like yourself.

Fuck Samsung, LG Nexus 5 user here (waiting for Google Play releases)

Thanks! Enjoyed the duo chat..

Plini is, indeed, awesome. Sithu Aye is also worth checking out; they have collaborated multiple times.

"Don't touch me" - I'm dead.

Serious Power Duo right here. Cool to know you 2 are playing together :D

Uncle Ben, how the hell do you not know who Tony Rice is living in Knoxville? Other than that, awesome video.

The pair of you saying "home schooled" :)

My favorite uncles!

Great Video at Bijou very very entertaining!

Hearing two good players talking about struggling with technique really makes me happy. When youve learned something on guitar the next roadblock is just around the corner. Kinda frustating and charming at the same time.

Good stuff Uncle Ben, Commander Andy Wood..

You guys are great together. Banger of show! My favorite Andy performance is the 2015 Suhr Factory Party...well Uncle Ben was playing that night too. The "Hardest Goodbye" with the white Strat is the reason I bought a white Strat.
