  • i want your fender!

  • cool vid

  • i reckon cliffs of dover sum this lesson up perfectly. Just constantly referencing the same melodies some an octave up or slightly changed. The best melodies are the ones u listen to the whole song hoping it will happen again.

  • hey dave, great videos. so we can take some intervals from a scale and make it into a melody? can we also use chord tones to make a melody? can anyone answer my questions? Thanks.

  • Dave....you are an inspiring educator. Thanks for the Riff of the Week Program. I think it is great!

  • ur fender is sooo shiny :D lol dude this is my first vid out of 248 and im sure going to sub ur vids cuz ur so awesom :D

  • Really nice lesson. All guys making youtube lessons should be like you!

  • I have been stressing out with chord sequences and riffs for a long time...I can honestly say this vid completely opened my eyes to the creation of music!

    Thank you so much!
