I wish I knew more theory to better utilize this kind of stuff, but it sounds great!

[riffoftheweek]

@Hybrid138 - take a couple of lessons from me. I can bring you up to speed. Well worth the $.

[Hoze666]

This riff rock's Dave :)

Have a question regarding Your sound - how do You get it (I know that from AmpliTube, but I just can't get that type of sounds). Maybe some tips here?

[riffoftheweek]

@Hoze666 - tone starts in the heads, goes to the hands, then the gear embellishes. I'll send you my Amplitude preset if you'd like

[jackntheVox]

Greetigs Dave! Definately one of your best ones yet, the fact that you can put these ideas together an not only form a tasteful riff, also put together a comprehensive lesson is simply amazing! And its free, mind you! Thanx Dave, continued success.

[riffoftheweek]

@jackntheVox  - cheers.

You said "A-Hole Tone". HEH. I've been called that. ;)

Great stuff as usual Dave.

[crisDAwog]

scale orgy ftw

[williamindragunawan]

whole tone... why didn't I think of that. thank you so much Dave

[teovenbar]

GREAT FEELING MATE....STILL YOUNG BUT NICE PICKING

[ovarius666]

Never thought of throwing whole tones on top of a blues rhythm. Sounds cool. Definitely trying that later.

PS...Ha! I hate those pesky stray cat hairs.

[bandit7498]

The same Dave Weiner that toured with Steve Vai? Awesome...

[FIndelCOB]

@riffoftheweek This is the best response ever

[6XstringXsamurai]

[FeelMetalMan]

When you come back home fuckin drunk from Madrid, and u decide'' yeah I fuckin deserve Dave's classes'', and start to get hypnotized by his speech on hole tones over blues scale I promise I flew the fuck out of space and never came back
