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 27: "Mike's Smoov Jass!"

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

Harmonize an F major scale and you'll find your answer.

follow on twitter . com / daveweiner and find out

[Shabamann]

lol, nice.

[joeleke64]

F (I) Gm (iim) Am (iiim) Bb (IV) C (V) Dm (vii) E° (viii°)

that's what you get if you harmonize the scale, this obviously could be called D minor, but it could just as well be F major, due to the fact they're relative

[mburolla]

Wow! Sounds like Dave's drummer kicks musical arse!

[tomguna15]

Your kind and sure are great!!! i hope to see more from you.

Did you hear about the rock group that lost the keys to the van ? It took two hours to get the drummer out !

I thought drummers weren't ALLOWED to know theory... huh... I never made the connection.
