[DAVEWEINER]

[satch099]

Hi Dave, thats a wicked sound pal, yet again coming up trupms, hope you like the vid response enough to add it. Like you Id never played in that tuning and it turned out a great little lesson on alternate finger positions and melody lines that I would never of come up with standard tuning.

[Dargor101]

Whens the album out?

[DAVEWEINER]

Early next year.

[giomoro]

Thank You for doing this for us. Hope to see you soon here in Italy.

Giorgio

[bendmywhammy]

i've always wanted to experiment with alternate tuning. pho shizzle

[xMACx982]

[VictorMRSilva]

[Seganiba]

nice lesson... :D .... I love the sound of this unusual tuning that you came up with....

Dave, could you post a lesson with tunings on a 6 string guitar and how we could us them?

[DAVEWEINER]

You can use this tuning on a 6 string.. C G D F Bb F. How to use it? Experiment!

[voodoovirtuoso]

This is really awesome and helpful. Thank you so much for taking time out to do this for all of us it is something not many artists do. hope you are feeling well. I'd love to see you do a solo show here in Australia some day.

cheers from down under Chris.

[mickyhodge]

[ibanez737519]

shoot dave. i wish i could go out and buy a new guitar whenever i have a new idea

[sirekul]

that was so beautiful dave! two thumbs up!

[justplayman]

1. Interesting ideas

[techdeckin2day]

that was so perfect! seriously that riff is awesome i will literally but you album just to hear that intermission song but im sure the other songs will be amazing too. I wanna be able to play stuff or come up with stuff like that you just came up with on the 12 string. What did you do to come up with that riff after you tuned it up that way? scales or chords or just messing around (inspiration too maybe)?

[jazzman07]

with you playing that, it sounds like you could get some very dark sounds from a 12 string.

[evan181]

Sweet you should post some harmonic minor licks very cool sounds with that scale im a big fan i think you are so lucky to know and play with vai...

if you read this how is vai in real life he seems like a really good guy

[ibanez737519]

yeah harmonics would be awesome in that one.
