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 3, Episode 30 "Add Rhythm To Your Lead Lines"

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

Did you find it harder to learn?

[riffoftheweek]

no, it was just natural.

[soulofhendrix]

try useing a sharpie next time. you can't see the pencil on the low res.

[riffoftheweek]

i get asked the same question all the time. i never did understand why it was so natural, but it makes guitar shopping so much easier! haha

[TomFensterMusic]

[zxcvmjg]

dave, your vids rock man. so many!

[acledmaiden]

many players do that for example michael angelo batio and dave ofcourse

[jan1080]

I remember thinking it was weird to play "right handed" while being right handed. My right hand had a lot more "finesse" than my left, so I never understood why my right hand wouldn't be my fretting hand.

However, now it's like that:P

[twirlyboggs]

nice approach

i dig your helpful vids
