Dave Weiner - Solo Spot - Vai European Tour 2005

[MrCold012]

i like your playing dave.. you dont overuse whammy bar like steve

[YeraYGuitar]

I was there^^ In Cologne

[ConklinTa]

I've been watching this video for years, really awesome. I saw you play live with Vai a few years back in Buffalo, NY. Killer man.

[19990SAND]

You are doing awesome job with Riff of the week..It helps kids like us to know the soul of music ..Thank you very much sir :)

[Valet2]

Is there a source video still somewhere? It may be nice to re-upload it since youtube supports better resolution and higher bitrate.

[furbiscuit916]

Dave can give Steve a run for his money!!!!

[VaiRendy]

steve vai only works with the best..

[FiestyMclovin]

On par with Steve himself, holy shit.

[tucktimosprime]

nice dave,,you do realize that you have the best job in the world....

[kellyisvlogging]

dude you're a maniac

[TobyBallMusic]

Anyone know how that acoustic is tuned? It sounds awesome

[ineversaidiwasapoet]

@TobyBallMusic From low to high: D A D G B F#

[charlesandhisworld]

@ineversaidiwasapoet Actually, the tuning for the acoustic bit is CGDGAD. I covered it on my channel..check it out to see if I'm right!

[beabbong]

Amazing play!!!!!!

[glassprisoner417]

Mr. Weiner, You are better than Steve Vai. Nuff said

Sincerely Daniel

[ScottNicholasSimpson]

You're an extremley lucky guy! I'd pay anything to play with Steve.

[delerious186]

holy crap teach me your ways

[bmwm3cs]

Very cool! Dave, you are very inspiring.

[tuelledoofamuetoll]

Gefällt mir.

[Dopaminergie]

I love Dave Weiner. I never met somebody such he is. He is the generosity, top brilliant guitar player, talented and so humble. Always ready to share with fans. I met him in France for the Ultra Zone Tour and he was really nice. Many thanks for what you did for us and what you are planing to do.

[billmeedog]

@mumu1221,

It looks like a double-cutaway 7-string Ibanez RG series of some sort to me?

What do you mean by "no cut-away"?

[mumu1221]

Absolutely amazing Dave. Long time fan of Vai and yourself.

Most impressive thing about this video is you're sweeps from 2:12-2:15 ish. Seeing as how youre playing a 7-string with no cut-away.

How cramped were your hands? :D

[jellyboy3]

toekomstige?

is this a dutch recording?

[richluvsellie]

dave...i know you work for steve and i like his playing..but..this reminds me of when pete townsend didnt want to go on b4 jimi hendrix..he really screwed up..jimi killed him..im sorry to tell you 2 things..ive never heard of you till i found your lessons here..and i think steve really screwed up by letting you take this spot...you killed him...lol....ladies and gents there is a new guitar hero among us and his name is dave weiner..ust awsome playing and lessons.loved the jazz 4 non jazz lesson.

[DAVEWEINER]

@richluvsellie - thx much man! I appreciate it.

[olmaygti]

@richluvsellie

It's just funny you say Dave is a NEW guitar hero ... lol .... he's been on the guitar scene for quite so many years .... such a pitty he's not being recognized as one of the true prog rock gods today.

Anyway, he's a killer musician, and such an awesome teacher.

Kudos for Dave.

[Flyordie92]

Dave Weiner? More like Dave WINNER :D +1

[joaoalex]

Dave Weiner? More like Dave WINNER :D

[dookylove]

dude, i fucking love you, i don't know you, or have ever seen you in person, but the way you use that extension of your body/soul has forever changed the way i feel about guitar. thank you, plus riff of the week is the best thing ever!!

[DAVEWEINER]

@dookylove - thx much man!

[clintdack]

This guy is pretty darn good.

[ApocalypsePleasureZ]

I dont normally comment on Youtube vids but I've gotta say this is FUCKING astonishing beyond belief.

Rock soloing at its prime. Well done.

[varulv234]

I love seeing people who mostly talk and play more simply stuff in action like this. Awesome Dave.

[187alacran]

damn you switched guitars pretty damn fast!!

[outoworkdreamer]

The dude is a badass...fun to watch. I also like the "got riffs?" t-shirt he wears sometimes.

[DAVEWEINER]

@7Stringerstinger - I was there for a year.

[onixtheone]

@DAVEWEINER really?

[tomanddantracks]

@DAVEWEINER just a year? did you ever consider berklee in massachusetts?

[Halo2isgay87]

dave is sooo good i'm happy that my friend told me about him

[Sleeper914]

whats GIT?

[Savatage420]

@Sleeper914 its Guitar Institute...its in hollywood its a music college

[sergiolad]

MAAANNN!! ur a god playing awesome ur super amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jobjob76]

Dave Weiner>Steve Vai

[cliffpizarro]

hey dave why is the title in this vid in dutch?? do you speak dutch??

[Metalstrom]

Love this. Love the acoustic style and love heavy riff kicking off around 1:37 awesome job. :)

[nemogre]

Youre hitting the poor acoustik very hard haha

[rurzan]

God, I'm more into metal than rock, but this is the coolest playing style I've seen in a while.

[darthmouse9393]

This solo spot and Moonlight Path are two of my favorite acoustic pieces.

[MarkMezhn]

hey buddy, is there something bad about being a self-taught guitarist?

[pabcq]

@MarkMezhn

its not something to be proud of (as some people seem to think)

it doesnt rly matter, its about how u play but taking lessons help your playing out ALOT

[Dragonfable123]

Yeah you've conviced me, i'm getting 15 bucks to buy your cd.

[lanningbrandons]

must not have gotten my last comment bro. was curious what that first chord is that you play at the very beginning and then go back to a few times through the acoustic solo. it sounds sick as hell. ha. thanks man.

[HjalmarGuitarMaster]

kickass rhythm!

[HjalmarGuitarMaster]

Keep up da great rhythms man!!!!!

[drook666]

You're the shit Dave.

[juswannawatchthings]

watchout stevie!!! weiner has arrived!

[ifontok1]

Heya dave i like watching your guitar lessons a lot. . learned good stuffs from them . . i was wonderin if you could do a BUCKETHEAD cover hehe>:) . . . how bout that?? :D

[ChristeaufDeYoung]

Better than Vai to be honest. Maybe not as innovative, but more tuneful, more listenable.

[phishUMup]

do a lesson on 2:11 - 2:18, that lick is awesome

[v2vroth]

Great playing my friend. BTW they should make a signature Guitar for you and the general public... that way every one could play with their Weiner...

[iptaytiger]

Look forward to hearing you jam at the PRS "Experience" this year!

Just signed up for your Master Class session

[DAVEWEINER]

@iptaytiger - great, cya there!

[strabbs1]

@DAVEWEINER i wish i lived in the states, lol, no plans for clinics in london england this decade???

[DAVEWEINER]

@strabbs1 - i would love to tour and do clinics in the UK, but it's not up to me. It's up to dealers, manufacturers, promoters to bring me over, and right now everyone has their money up their asses. But we're trying.

[richluvsellie]

@DAVEWEINER ..then i say we go online and demand to see clinics of you...do you have any signature model guitars dave.....

[visiting31]

Acoustic bit was freakin' amazing...a song?

[Zolier]

I like those two blue lights in the background. Awesome!

[SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1]

I watch all your videos Dave and i knew that your theory knowledge is pretty untouchable but man your playing is simply mindblowing and effortless.You just shared the stage with Steve Vai for gods sake.

[aggguy666]

hey dave where did u studied??

[DAVEWEINER]

@aggguy666 - GIT

[MrXorHomer]

@DAVEWEINER Did you do the bachelors course?

[sunnyjim98]

its pretty awesome that dave replys to his fans` comments! keep er lit dave!

[hickoryou812]

LMFAO!! glad to see you on youtube rather than show time after hours or Red Light District pictures...You made the right choice in careers and have done fantastic with the best yet to come. Still love Tourmaline the best but favoring The Ghost of Denmark St lately off Shove the Sun Aside. New CD out soon and can't wait! Be Blessed!!

[theunitedspeed]

awesomeness

[zugg48]

grande dave!!!

[bajaracer40x]

xlint

[biker5211]

well dave, honestly, i like you better then vai. and 3:02 that guy in the background is ninja.

[Emocritisism]

cool

[SRV138]

2 years from now im gonna be taught by you when i got to MI

[GGTopGuitarist]

better than Steve Vai!! you didn't wank with the tremelo or tap too much

[GGTopGuitarist]

what tuning is that please :D

x

[chadewatson]

i love when the band kicks in&he is doing the hammer on licks,tastey

[f22turboaccord]

cool cool sound reminds me of flying over Egypt or something wierd like that i would never do in real life

[Dulnlop]

toekomstige?

do you have dutch ancestors?

greetings from Holland!

great solo:)

[guitardude341]

you must hand it him, really. under all that pressure, playing in front of steve vai, other extremely talented musicians and a critical crowd. and he can come out like that - dynamic, diverse and entertaining. amazing job!

[NmHman127Nugget]

the acoustic was pleasant

[ToxicFungi]

i wonder if vai was impressed?

[gurra9]

@ToxicFungi Well I guess the answer lies in the fact that Dave is still playing with Vai. Would Vai let someone who didn't kick ass to play in his band?

[flubbablubba1]

Those were some of coolest acoustic riffs i've ever heard.

Awesome stuff !

[jazzpman]

nice! Nice mix of acoustic and electric guitar playing

[1989Goodspeed]

Wow, one word: Lagom

(Swedish: combination of: happy medium and enough, in a good way)

I mean he is innovative and flashy but not over the top in any way!

Its dynamic, rhythmic, has clarity and it swings. Essential things some other players lack.

[ibanezman007]

Totally Right!

[nemtall]

that was kool of Via to give Dave a spot .Nice ..Via is a giver to music..Dave Is up and coming guitar idol.

[slanderoushalo]

This is some impressive stuff, I gotta say.

Reminds me of John Petrucci somewhat - I mean that in a good way. I like your sound.

[ibanezman007]

I love all the music that you and Steve Vai make! Do you like 6 or 7 string guitars better?

[Soundsinthedeep]

You are fantastic... I only wish your drummer was quieter.

[OldTimesCruelty]

2:11-2:18 is pretty sweet!

[nomik]

great player! great performance!

[geetarplayer38]

tab for 00:42 to 1:13 by any chance. It sounded awesome

[johnaiton]

Best thing on that shows set

[15Antichrist15]

Awesome!

[yonah816]

Hey Dave, really cool video and even better playing!

Tell me something, maybe you can remember from which city is this? Cause if its in Athens, I was there in the front row, and i got your pick as well :P

Cheers, and keep rocking our ears!

[StephenSat]

hey dave! your my newest guitar hero! your technique and versatility had been my inspiration!

-StephenSat-

[motormadhead13]

wow-i can only dream of playing like that-nice work dave

[philcollinsrocks]

i really like that first lick at 2:11. assuming youre in standard tuning, are you picking every note or are you just pushing down on the G string 16th fret? i cant skip strings very fast, so i hope you're not picking everything lol

[GuitaristCK]

Looks like he is picking everything. Maybe you just need a little practice ^^

[philcollinsrocks]

2:11-2:18 are like the coolest 7 seconds...

[DemonGojyo]

great riff :) I think he's a real good player, and it's fantastic that he shares his techniques here on youtube

[WarOfWordss]

Awesome solo!

[piggyboy8910]

Can I find a tab/tutorial vid for this anywhere?

[DamienFernandez]

Ridiculous! Crazy stuff man amazing....and for the dude who said you need a stage name...I think I'm not alone in saying you have the awesomest name in showbiz !

[pocharatka]

Love this solo. Love the fact, that You're playing sevenstring in such melodic and powerful way at the same time :)

[MsGuitarist93]

hey david you're a kick ass playyer i love you're stuff but please post more of vai's backstage

[dmcgraye]

impressive across many fields, really powerful stuff.

[TheAxeSlayer]

i love your stuff!!!

[paulignacius]

nice playing bro!

[ScrewAttackChina]

is that guitar standard tuning?

[jswin334]

Have you ever considered getting a stage name?

[DAVEWEINER]

well i did have a different name, but i chose this one to work in porn.

[jswin334]

Haha I can dig it. Great solo by the way, I love all of the different textures

[virtuosolomon]

LMAO dave!

[NoobCake99]

@DAVEWEINER

Hahahah, good one

[wv838]

LMAO! Brilliant guitar work and the perfect comeback too - nice ! :)

[mickiew4]

haha excellent.

Nice work on the guitar solo, too. I would imagine it would be hard to do a solo spot on the same stage as steve vai, but you definitely pulled it off

[pabcq]

@DAVEWEINER

i knew it!

haha xD

[young0wylde0child]

@DAVEWEINER hahaha dave wtf, like really thats prbly the most rediculous thing ive ever seen you write as a reply

[nickheck]

@DAVEWEINER

ROFL that's awesome.

[visiting31]

@DAVEWEINER ahaahha

[PhilipPorter]

@DAVEWEINER I presume you are of German descent therefore the correct pronunciation is Vai-ner ;-)

[AjMoLAbErG]

@DAVEWEINER

LOL!

[theclovek]

..Im a big fan of you dave.. you got your style.. you got it all man :D I bet you heard this few times before :D but anyway... big respect.. and thing I like about this solo particulary is your right hand work.. the power strumming and all kinds of picking..I always liked it in your rotw videos.. I think Im going to work on this a bit myself :) ... keep suppling us with your great music and of course your lessons.. :D amen

[Bautonman]

[cyphontiller]

[minomalet]

[PhillipRuthardt]

[gobbler6]

Awesome you played with Vai. I couldn't hear your playing that well though--which is lame.

[evan181]

dave u are a absolute genius at 2:11OH MAN THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL

[anton8604]

That's the video I send to people when asked where I get lessons from. =] maybe not the best idea with all these expectations, but i'll live up to em in due time for sure.

[detroidxl]

[CrAzyBoiViet]

sexy

[U2006gmx]

nice sound you really rocked that accoustic guitar :D

[diminishedlogic]

Hey dave, I really like this song. I saw you a few years ago at National Guitar workshop, you were a real nice amiable guy.

gave us great advice as to how to make it in the music industry... keep on my brother

[popomczowzow]

Mr. Weiner, be thankful that your name isn't Mike.

Very nice playing by the way, you're extremely talented.

[DAVEWEINER]

Thx, but that doesn't make any sense.

[timmonsisbest]

@DAVEWEINER haha. Mike comes from the Hebrew name for "Who Is Like God?"

[minomalet]

why would mike be a wrong name...

[espectaculardavidrcq]

FANTASTIC!

[bongolow07]

Dave is amazing.

[N8tbog]

great energy, I had to watch that again!

[hayta1001]

[MassimoPetrucci]

[powchug]

[RenderMyBalls]

[GuitarJonM]

[DAVEWEINER]

[Dread098]

Dave that's AWESOME!!!

[lordofhihu]

wow! you really rock out!

[withoutajem]

what tuning is your acoustic in?

[DevoGuitar08]

thats an alternative tuning

i was trying to listen it out of the video, and i've got a CGDGAD tuning, dunno if thats right

[chiquitobonito]

i think so.

[sadgmusic]

is that drop d tuning?

[RenoM3]

was it the reaper starting at the end? O.o

where can i see that vid? can u please post it?

[samdubusc]

It would sound like it.

[BOnEhEAdD]

Dave is amazing. He kinda drowned in Billy's bass at 2:30 (again) but otherwise it was flawless ;-)

[Nuhunte15]

dude what is this song i want to learn it!

[Anhrehimself]

yeah how do you make that pick holder? it is very importent its look nice and praktic

[CowardlyShoe69]

How did you make that sweet pick holder on your guitar's headstock?

[kungfuman82]

[datnewg]

This is why Vai is so good live, his supporting cast is unreal!

[Shredmythroat]

Vai did the right choice.. :)

[jpond57]

Its over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fenderbender92]

I reckon Mr. Vai and Mr. Wiener should do a duet, that would be awesome 5/5

[DevoGuitar08]

Weiner, not Wiener :D

[LennartIbanez]

toekomstige is a dutch word for futere is that the title?
