Hey Dweezil, happy New Year to you and everyone else here

Thanks a million for doing this, I’m enjoying every minute of it. As I was re-listening to some of the earlier episodes over the Holidays I made a little discovery of my own: from the way Paul Gilbert performed the chordal volume swells in the intro to You’re No Good I realized that these are virtually identical to those that close Tattoo (it’s my favorite part of that song). It's the same chord sequence, but as an opener the A-pedal in the bass gives it a very different vibe, while as a closing statement it ends on a sus. Why not take a great opening sequence a make it a great closing sequence  Always fun to see Edward move ideas around

Can’t wait for the Fair Warning episodes, Nuno’s one of my all-time favorites and Fair Warning is just about perfect!

Another great couple of pod casts with Blues. Never knew about Nicolette Larson's background vocals and then Eddie subsequently playing on her song. So cool

Hey Dweezil, I have 2 questions and 2 observations...

 

This is honestly the best guitar podcast I have ever heard and I hang on every analyzation when I am not laughing. My questions are, when does the next episode on "Fair Warning" w Nuno drop? Was hoping for it Christmas Eve but assuming will be after holidays... And in that episode (or any upcoming) will you be telling th story of how the "Rasta" guitar was given to you that he played on that tour?

 

My two observations... This podcast has got me registering to everything VH with a critical ear. Has anyone noticed, since "Diver Down" is approaching, these two things I keep thinking about... During "Intruder" around the 10 second mark it sounds like Eddie is having a conversation, mimicking talking on his guitar in a way. Anyone else wonder if this was some sort of influence or inspiration for the intro "talking" on David Lee Roth's "Yankee Rose"? Or on "The Full Bug" around 2:17 it isn't the same riff but it is REALLY similar in feel/sound/vibe to Ratt's "Way Cool Jr" (which also has a bridge Warren used from an exercise Dweezil's dad showed him)... 

 

I am sorry DeMartini didn't do an episode, hoping one day to hear the two of you guys talk shop.

Viva La Running With The Dweezil!

Hey Dweezil...I am watching a ton of videos on YouTube but I am not convinced that they have the opening riff of Unchained correct. I had taken a group lesson from you a couple years ago and kick myself for not asking you to show us the correct way to play it.  If you could spare a couple minutes just to break down the greatest riff in the history of rock and roll it would be greatly appreciated.
