dave, how would you play a Paul Gilbert style riff? :D

[DAVEWEINER]

PG is a picker, I am not.

[rpgavan]

how come you're selling the S7?

[DAVEWEINER]

Either it sits under my bed or I hand it off to someone who can use it and appreciate it. I don't really care either way, just figured I'd try to move it while I'm clearing out stuff in prep to move.

Dave, I can't tell you how much your lessons have helped my playing and inspired new directions. Best to you. You are making a real difference. Now, just get me a DW signature Ibanez 7 string!

[DAVEWEINER]

The S7 may be for sale.

Hi Dave, My friend and I were talking yesterday, we've been playing for about 5 years, and we both agreed that we thought it was hard to make really original sounding licks with an original style. Is it just because they're our OWN riffs, or because there's something we need to do that we're not?

[XIIIX]

I want to host a master classsss lol

[DRAGIANNI]

This pattern i play a lot,but using right hand for tap a third note on string...you can play this patern in all positions of E minor pentatonic! :)

Nice lessons,Dave! Cheers!

[nonexistence21]

well srry I can't resist not to say this for some reason but PG is a legato...arpeggio(Edward Van Halen style I guess) style isn't he ????

and it's funny I say Edward Van Halen just take out halen and you got my name :D yea!!!!

[Stearner]

Haha, you seem really happy in this video, you're buzzing!

[polcamara]

Nice. Remainds me of some Kotzen licks... ang Gilbert too. Are you influenced by these guys...?
