Riff of The Week™ - Season 4,Ep50: Funk Motifs

[BenditlikeBecker]

Hello Dave.

The tab for this lick isn't on the website, nor are the tabs for lots of the other licks you've posted :(

Please respond dude

[DAVEWEINER]

they will be eventually. busy doing 8 trillion things. Use your ear anyway. much better for you.

[cilson123]

jazz box?? Is this some sort of pedal or are you reffering to an amp?

[ibanezman007]

Its a pattern thats repetitive across the fingerboard.

[mofokitten]

Dave, i´m sensing you should get a big fat jazz box for some mellow cleans. or, if you have one, USE IT! :)

[seth3556r]

Dave, you really need to do a lesson on the style of Al Di Meola, he's my favourite guitarist. You should go over his rhythm an theory use. I just watched his video on Kiss My Axe and it was amazing! You know that Latin Jazzy stuff man.

[futuretroriginal]

nice obligatory pick scrape at 4:12. gotta get those in there!

[rfaraon]

Very nice riffs! I'm really getting in to this funk!!! A hug from Brazil!

[fenderbender149]

i cant get my hand around the neck the right way to do the muting...it sounds really sloppy when i try to play it and i either end up having an open string ring out or press down other notes by accident..any suggestions dave?

[gyefinger]

nothing like a strat to get that twang when you rank on it;)

[ForbiddenHaze]

Nice Mac.

Go Phillies!! :)

[robotfamilygchicken]

i want that strat!

[BrianUV777BK]

Dave! Les Pauls? Strats? No more 7s??

[Ryo545]

Hey, I'm a GIT student. What time are your open counsellings?

[DAVEWEINER]

[NatsPotats]

very nice but where did the 7 strings go. i miss them

[toby1kenobe]

Modal interchange progressions sound good, can we have a look at that?

[LateNightShredder]

I liked the old intro song =-(

[DAVEWEINER]

[tgfasmo]

very good lesson there dave, how about some reggae lessons.

Go Dodgers! lol

[mrsbluebird719]

dave how do you play so clean? it sounds great man..

[robotfamilygchicken]

sounds like he's playing through a tube screamer

[DAVEWEINER]

that's the Strat directly into the orange channel on the Ultralead, no pedals.

[wellurs]

great lesson as always Dave!

[rossomeara]

hey dave what kind of pick do you use?

[DAVEWEINER]

Red Bear Big Jazzer Heavy.

[Stratomacaster]

Great new stuff Dave.. Nice new intro, nice lesson, and pretty cool hat. :-)

I've been getting better at the funk riffs, but I'm still having a hard time not getting the pick caught up in the strings. Any tips or suggestions?

Cheers
