I like the sound of this guitar. I wonder what settings on my PODxt Live Pedal could make me that Fusion guitar sound. I'm trying to relate my tone to Al Di Meola, Brett Garsed, and especially this guitar's sound. I love this guitar's sound a lot, it's exactly what I'm looking for. Any suggestions? By the way Dave, nice lesson.
It is funner 2 improv all day long ... but picking the best improv 4 a "video" is aggravating ... cuz some takes are better than others in different area's ... then u kick urself in the ass later 4 not making something up [8?O
That little addon at the end of the riff (2:10) was just killer. It was so simple, but it's those things that come from just knowing what sounds good and not just playing notes for the sake of it.
You have the coolest insight on teaching. Cheers to you. I'll be signing up on the website soon.
Hey Dave....after 3 years following u, I decided to finally say something. ... I just wanna say thank u very much for all your vids, tryin to help people, playin and explainin things,, u´re doin a great job, and i know that there´re a lot of people ( at least in Spain ) that only know u because u have been tourin´with Steve Vai, but a lot of people don´t know that u´ re a great composer too, and a great guy, so KEEP ROCKIN AND KEEP MAKIN MUSIC!!!
i like the background music coming in at the end there, but having it play through the video (except the actual riff) seems to catch my ear more often then your talking hah.
I agree..which is why i never put in background music. But there is something nice about it. I think if i create non-distracting background music, that'll be a better fit.
hey dave, would it be possible if do a tour of ur gear stuff, and show us what kind of gear you use, and how the chain works and kind of like a tutorial of gear for us. thanks
Thanks dave. Ive been using a similar workout or training or what-ever. So its cool to see that it also works for you as well.I mean hey look at ya. you're a friggin star dude. lol thanks again dave.
Good idea.

Tone is in the fingers.
DAVEWEINER 2 years ago
I meant like as the setup, sound of the guitar. Not the tone of the guitar its-self, the effects.
seth3556r 2 years ago
Ah, you mean signal path. I think in this vid it was guitar - maxon vop9 - holy grail plus - bassman.
DAVEWEINER 2 years ago
Thank-you brother.
seth3556r 2 years ago
Okay, I got one more question for you brother. What was the setup (the nobs) of the overdrive pedal and the bass amp?

Hi Dave, you're doing a great job for so long time and free. I really appreciate.
I have just a little question
Will tabs from your old uploaded videos (from season1,2,3) be available because i didn't find
them on riifoftheweekdotcom (only july 2009) and your previous website
daveweinerdotcom?
I hope to get an answer from you (even if you must be a busy guy) or someone else
Anyway, thanks a lot for your great lessons.:)
