Imagine transforming your learning speed, hitting those complex solos, and truly mastering the fretboard faster than ever before.

What is special about this episode for me is that Dan was my private teacher when I attended M.I. (then known as "GIT") in the early 90's. One of the original graduates of the early days of the program at the school, Dan worked alongside legends such as Howard Roberts and Tommy Tedesco and has taught thousands of students in his 45 year career at the school. In this episode Dan shares stories of studying with Pat Martino, how visualization techniques work when learning new material, his record "Before the Sunrise" and much more!Click here for Dan's record "Before the Sunrise"Click here for a video of Dan talking about learning techniques on the guitar.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Here's a "best of" of some of my favorite moments from the early season of Riff Raff. Listen to Dweezil Zappa talk about how Eddie Van Halen coached his jr. High school talent show band, John Scofield telling me about how he approaches playing "outside" the chord changes, George Porter Jr. of the Meters in what he looks for in a groove and Ratt's Warren DeMartini driving me around Hollywood, shows me where the early days of Ratt all went down and talks about life before the big time when he and Jake E. Lee were roommates. All in 20 min? Wow.RIFF RAFF T SHIRTS Click HERELe Combo!
