Riff Of the Week™: The Necessary Blues

[ljguitar91]

That 7 string is delicious.

[haltrman93]

These string of videos are cool as fuck. Thanks a bunch for these, man. Now I just have to work on string bending and vibrato, haha.

[BuddyMETAL1]

Dave, just the riff i was looking for this Saturday afternoon. Just a shame it took me a year to find it!!

Rock!

[25jonathan]

sounds like a lick from mary had a little lamb by SRV

[aikigaeshi]

This is the kind of riff I've been looking for, thank you!

[ChucklesMginty]

The 'Now You're a Man' song brings back a bad memory for me. :(

[wakold]

Hey mate, I like your lessons, could you do some lessons on some more advanced blues stuff? Also maybe play some riffs in other keys than E, lol. anyway good job!

[DAVEWEINER]

thx! you might want to scroll through the list of ROTW vids I've done in the last 4.5 years. I'm sure you'll find something not in E. But unless you're a master of E, I wouldn't move on.

[wakold]

Haha no mate, I just think that as a guitar teacher, it's good to keep your listeners a bit "fresh", because I, just like most of the guitarists, tend to stick to the E scale to improvise, and I think it's good to be forced to play in many different keys, not just E, C and G for example.

Anyway congrats with everything, you are a very talented player for sure!

Dave, thank you so much for your video sessions, it takes a lot of dedication to have something this good, I saw you at Eric Clapton's crossroads festival in Dallas a few years back with Steve Vai and well as on his DVD's...thank you again. I am from Louisiana, have a new band and we're about to break out...I'm also a geologist.

Thanks

Mike

[roryrockssocks]

Great video, nice bluesy lick there.

[m3talgod]

Awesome riff, Dave!

[guitarplayerone]

thanks dave, I love your vids, they help out a lot

[HellIVIonkey]

Sweet, very Tommy Emmanuel. Great riff! Scary singing.

[SnareDaniel]

Great video dave.

[Bradrsnk6vca7nj]

Dave, I know my scales, and I can improvise well, but all my original solos sound very bluesy. Yet, when I listen to you or Vai improvise, it doesn't sound bluesy and sounds incredible...Do you have any advice for this?

Great ROTW by the way.
