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 4, Episode 1 "Getcha Groove On!"

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

[Spocksbrother]

hey dave, i have a question for you:

How do you get rid of stage fright?

I had talent show auditions today, and i got in, but i was very nervous and you could hear i messed up a little and i could of done better,can you help dave!

[riffoftheweek]

Preparation and a lack of caring about what others think.

[Emberland]

Hey Dave, any chance that you might be doing some more theoretical lessons soon? I got into your videos because of your lessons on the modes, but how about something about when to use diminished and augmented chords, stuff like that?

Loved this video, by the way.

[riffoftheweek]

probably after the record is done and I have more time.

@Spocksbrother

See your performance as a gift to people rather than an ego thing for yourself. You only get nervous when it's about you. Stop thinking about yourself and have fun.

[Vanjal]

You are a GREAT player dude. I know you know that but still...had to write :-)

[musicfunkydude]

Steady Dave ,i'm worried your teaching shredders too much about real music,you know with a drummer and bass player with grooves and real structures, love your lessons,George from Scotland.

[paengdulay]

lack of caring about what others think.

[JBDUDE12691]

!!! I've started doing this and it really helped my accuracy and thereby my speed !!! I think more guitarists should do this. My main man Jimi Hendrix would be playing lead, rhythm, and singing at the same time. This post made me think of him.
