Riff Of The Week™ - Season 3: Another Cool Penta Variation

[stratocaster539]

seriously good lessons -Thankyou Dave.A small problem,and it's probably just me,you are using a 7 string with a very low contrast on the neck, and the neck has no dots.I have to keep stopping the vid to check my finger positions.Like I said,prob just me.Anyhow, i'm grateful for the time you put in on these vids.Superb.

Yep, common complaint. I'll change that someday. Til then, ignore the 7 and review the tab to stay on track.

this is such a cool riff!

[Justa70sDreamer]

Thanks a lot Dave.There are so many online lesson's these days but I personally find a lot of them lacking in actual explaination. You explain things really well, so even a simpleton like me get's it!BTW, you rocked at The Apollo, Manchester England '05, where I met yourself and Mr Vai.

Thanks again Dave. :)

WOW, one of the coolest licks I've heard in a very long time...superb job Dave, like always!

[ItsCall911]

Awesome Lick!

Really!

[mattjazz3]

Again great lesson. It be cool to see an Eric Johnson approach to combining pentatonics though...

[billmeedog]

Great lesson Dave! It's always cool to get new angles on the Pentatonics!

I just learned a Guthrie Govan lick recently that did something similar (using slides for the position shifts.) However, his riff was a descending 4-note sequence, (very typical!) where he added interest by incorporating the slide on the 1st-note of each group-of-4.

Your riff has more movement and interest with it's 2-changes of direction (per-phrase)!

WAY COOL!

Peace!

yeah I just saw that same video man. Guthrie Govan's 8 favorite licks or whatever it was called.
