Guitar Lesson: Skip This Pentatonic - Riff Of The Week(4,38)

[nickheck]

Hi Dave, My friend and I were talking yesterday, we've been playing for about 5 years, and we both agreed that we thought it was hard to make really original sounding licks with an original style. Is it just because they're our OWN riffs, or because there's something we need to do that we're not?

[XIIIX]

I want to host a master classsss lol

[DRAGIANNI]

This pattern i play a lot,but using right hand for tap a third note on string...you can play this patern in all positions of E minor pentatonic! :)

Nice lessons,Dave! Cheers!

[mitsurugi009]

dave, how would you play a Paul Gilbert style riff? :D

[DAVEWEINER]

PG is a picker, I am not.

[nonexistence21]

well srry I can't resist not to say this for some reason but PG is a legato...arpeggio(Edward Van Halen style I guess) style isn't he ????

and it's funny I say Edward Van Halen just take out halen and you got my name :D yea!!!!

[rpgavan]

how come you're selling the S7?

[DAVEWEINER]

Either it sits under my bed or I hand it off to someone who can use it and appreciate it. I don't really care either way, just figured I'd try to move it while I'm clearing out stuff in prep to move.

[Stearner]

Haha, you seem really happy in this video, you're buzzing!

[polcamara]

Nice. Remainds me of some Kotzen licks... ang Gilbert too. Are you influenced by these guys...?

[mitsurugi009]

hey dave, I would've gone to New York tonight. If only I had a ride. :D

[Dropkickbosstones]

damn im acually just up in long island visiting family... I wish i would have seen this a little earlier, that would have been awesome to see you guys live...

[ale79673]

'HURHURHUR G STRING!!'

You are Epic.

[sadgmusic]

i dont get it...why are all your riffs fast??

[SomethinWild]

And I don't get why you say that. Most of his riffs aren't fast at all, he stated in one of his videos, that being fast and shredding aren't his style of music.

[swill9000]

Dave, I can't tell you how much your lessons have helped my playing and inspired new directions. Best to you. You are making a real difference. Now, just get me a DW signature Ibanez 7 string!

[DAVEWEINER]

The S7 may be for sale.

[13guitard00d]

awesome

[genshikashmir]

Dave, I have a question. Is it normally extremely difficult to find band members?

[DAVEWEINER]

Yes, it's always difficult.

[nateandguitar]

Mmmm... I like it, A LOT! String skipping with hybrid picking looks like a great way to get some "fresh" sounds, I'm gonna have to dig into that technique and have some fun!

[leamonlesson]

How about riff of the week for beginners. Please. I have been playing for a year working mostly on chords and strumming just starting electric guitar. THANKS

[NuclearBanjo]

Thanks Dave , great lessons for every'buddy and a special Thanks for rising my musician mind !!

[freesalute]

"siiiiiick"

haha, yes it is!

[bababacardi]

Dave, I want to THANK YOU verrrrrrry much for taking your time to do this with such a good energy. I don´t comment a lot but I'm allways checking your videos (like many others).

I don´t think that many ppl.realize who you are, and that they have THE guitarist , THE instructor right here right now.

Good luck in everything

AND KEEP ON ROCKING!
