Ben Travers, high intensity!

Apologies if this has been shared already.

Absolute savagery on tap!

Edit:

Love this comment “that poor guitar needs a cigarette” :joy::joy::joy:

Why didn’t more people talk about this? This guy is AMAZING. Great tone too. Apparently he has been around for a while but I’ve never heard about him till the mighty Rick Graham mentioned him recently. Will be keeping an eye this fella.

Also, based on his final comment in the Vai video, is he saying the secret to getting faster is playing with drummers who do cocaine??? lol!

I mean, that would do it. lol

In other news, apparently Ben co-wrote a song with Sade (?!) for a Disney movie (!?!?) back in 2018. This was unexpected.
