Hi, I'm Dave Weiner. I'm a Favored Nations recording artist, a G.I.T. graduate and have been playing in Steve Vai's band since 1999.

Every Wednesday I do a new Riff Of The Week™ guitar education video. Here's Season 3, Episode 52 "How to get started with Melodic Soloing"

Don't forget to view the tab, listen to the audio clips and download the backing tracks (when applicable) for this ROTW at: www.daveweiner.com/rotw.

You can find Hi-RES HD versions of this video at riffoftheweek.com or by subscribing (for free) to the ROTW podcast in ITunes (search Dave Weiner).

Interested in my music? My first cd "Shove The Sun Aside" is available on iTunes, Amazon and at www.daveweiner.com/store

Like this lesson? Want to learn more? How about a live, one on one, internet guitar lesson with me? www.daveweiner.com/lessons

Thanks for visiting. Enjoy!

Dave

[riffoftheweek]

Yes, subscriptions for the new website should be worldwide, or at least, available to anyone who has a Paypal acct.

I have a question abt. the modal approach. Since G Mixo == Amin == F Lyd, how do you emphasize the individual quality of each of these modes without sounding like you're playing just Amin? When I play it just sounds like one mode instead of three.

target key notes and intervals.

man i dont know where i can get the backing track for this video?Could you help me out Dave?

[VinniePaah]

That's cool stuff Dave! It seems so easy when you pour out those melodic ideas. I'm sure every aspiring guitarist will want to grab their guitar right after watching this and... will happily produce some noise :)

[JoJo72X]

I can't wait to join the VIP section of ROTW. Also can't wait to hear the new album. You rock Dave.

That approach you talked about some time ago that consists of not looking at the notes you're fretting while playing might be useful here as well. Keep up the good work, Dave. Greetings from Portugal
