4 New Videos up at DaveWeiner.com

[DavejWeiner]

Yup. It was time to add some new vids. So Chris (my bassist) and I recorded the videos to go along with the tab I posted last week. I also added a bloopers video. We shot these vids after a loooong rehearsal. you know how that can feel.

Enjoy.

Cool! I love that orange/white burst finish, it reminds of of an orange cream popsicle or something (yes, that's a compliment!).

[moro]

Wow, that is like the coolest riff ever.

Was it originally written on guitar or bass?

[AndersPGM]

Great vids!
Very cool.

Thanks alot.

Nice videos. The bloopers one was really funny "Did you set the metronome to 137?" "Nooo!" ROFL

There was something I couldn't make out from the vid though. In the Long Run Riff#1, the little arpeggio that goes like:
E>----7
B>--8--
G>9----
Do you make that with a sweep? Or is it alternate picking?? I've been doing with sweeping, but am curious to know what you do there

Yes I pick that. The only sweeping on the entire album is during the slow part on "Long Run".

[Azrael]

Bet sweep picking is not your best technique then right? By the way....you use alternate picking only or also hybrid picking?

[invisibo86]

...Okay so I will admit. I watched those videos and it sent my into a frenzy of praticing for two hours. I cannot wait to see you guys tear it up live!!! Definitely some sweet vids thanks a ton Dave. and the bloopers was definitely funny as hell...me and my friends actually recorded a demo to sell to our friends and people who show up to shows and stuff and theres a bunch of stuff like that as a tag on the end. it's always fun!! Thanks dudes!!

Sweeping (to me) is a dated sounding technique. But used properly, it's affective. I like smaller sweeps rather than the big 80's 6 string sweeps.

Picking.. I use alternate, and 2 hybrids. 1 has picking and sliding/legato (but light on the legato) and 2 is picking/fingerpicking as demonstrated in the "Long Run" Lead Riff 1 video.

I don't like doing those 6 string sweeps either. I just ended up with the technique for small sweeps, like on that riff, and i can do it almost without someone noticing it's a sweep. The only real sweeps I like doing is the ones using 3 strings with 4 notes, ala Steve Vai and Joe Satriani But lately, after watching the Rock Displine video, i've been trying to get that alternate picking thing as it seems quite usefull...

Funny I've doing that 3 string 4 notes sweep thing since I played some Knopfler.
He does the 3 string 4 note trick alot of times....although since he doesn't play with a pick I don't suppose he sweeps then with his thumb....I sweep them with a pick though...

But hey Dave.......I hate arm hair....I shave it off
