Dweezil,

Love the podcast. It’s great to keep the EVH talk going after his death.

Do you think the panning the guitar to one side on VH I is a good thing, bad thing or indifferent. I don’t recall hearing other bands of the era doing that.

 

kepp up the great work.

Heya Mr D. Z!
Am unsure if I have access, and guessing that I don't because I am not recognizing "RWTD", and what it means. Sorry so disconnected... Memory's not always there for many things randomly. :(

Hey Jim, RWTD stands for Runnin' With The Dweezil (podcast). The live stream today is exclusive for the folks who have purchased the podcast. I'll be doing some other live event stuff for my site soon too.

When you were showing Ed how to play St Alphonso’s and he just shook his head and said something along the lines of I could not play that, do you think it was because he couldn’t grasp it harmonically?  Physically you’d think he could likely play it if he invested the time, which perhaps he didn’t have.

Hey Dweezil,

 

Here are some potential questions for today's Q&A! 

 

Can't wait to attend the listening party. 

 

1. How many times have you seen Van Halen live? Which shows stand out the most to you?  

 

2. During episode 10, you mention Edward inviting you to perform on stage with him. Can you place yourself back in that moment? What song(s) did you perform together? What was that experience like for you? 

 

2.1 To expand on that question, one of my favorite songs is you and your father performing Sharleena together. What is it like to perform a duel guitar solo with someone like your father, Edward, Steve Vai, or any musician of that caliber? To me, all of you are guitar gods! So I am trying to see it from your perspective. Were these moments an overwhelming challenge or more of an enjoyable expression for you? Does sharing a solo feel as casual as having a conversation? From my outside observation it almost would seem that having a deeper understanding of music theory helps musicians have a more meaningful discourse. During moments like Sharleena a dialogue can start to happen. A real conversation being held between the players. How natural is it passing the solos back and forth? Do you try to serve something up for the person you are playing with? I know I have asked a lot of questions here but I am really interested in what this experience is like! 

 

Thank you Dweezil!

Will we be able to access the listening party later? 

Dweezil

Yes you will! I'll make sure all of the RWTD community knows how to access the archived event.

Uncle Remus

Still no access. Silver plan not included?

Dweezil

Hi Uncle Remus,

The RWTD podcast is separate from the Silver Subscription. I do plan to release some excerpted RWTD content for the dweezilzappa.com community at some point soon, just to give people an idea of what the podcast is like.
