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 18 "Target, Turn, Blues"

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

Dave! i would realy like to get one of your albums ,please direct me to where i can get one .thanx mate.

[DAVEWEINER]

Grt! You can get it from me personally, signed to you with a custom guitar pick and sticker at daveweiner . com / store (but with no spaces of course).

what do you mean when you say:

4th down or 5th up? its gotta be 4 away from something. I sort of figured out that inversion vid you did, but i just guessed that you meant 3rd as in 3rd note from E on the Major Scale. is it like 4 frets? or 4 away on the scale?

Just trying to clear things up, I dont know a lot of this :)

Another execellent riff Dave. Many thanks.

Any chance of playing each riff against a backing track so we can hear them in context?

[CaptAdams35]

Great little riff! Love the quickie lessons, Dave. Gave me something I could build with and not get bogged down with several different guidelines.
