Dweezil Zappa

Took the recent contest lick and worked out how to play the notes within that “ harmonic aroma, “ to map out different finger patterns. The more I play DZ’s lick, the more one can get away from those “ box “ patterns. Happy...

My take on the Dweezil Zappa Guitar Lick challenge.   Thanks Dweezil! Took a while to get this one under my fingers. Loved learning this lick! Awesome contest! ...

Learning Dweezil’s “ Obviously Influenced By The Devil “ apparently opens a portal to a new sonic dimension ( later on I found a dying battery in one of my pedals ). Still, fun times! ...

What a pleasant surprise this morning, to see Dweezil talk about Deep Purple. Looking forward to hearing the ATMOS mix! ...

Dweezil at NAMM, 2024. Did anyone else here attend and check out some new equipment? Looking into some new pedals for this year. ...

Writer/musician has written and published a new book on Edward Van Halen. It's pretty large and features some interesting sections concerning Edward's musicianship. ...

Found this today. It was posted back in July but it shows some of Dweezil's playing techniques ( as well as performances of some songs from " Confessions " ).  Including the intro to " F.W.A.K. " on the green Charvel. Good...

Granted, this is not Zappa oriented. But, thanks to the " Runnin' With The Dweezil " podcast, I've become fascinated with Edward's tone chasing. Found this recent interview with Mike Soldano talking about Edward's purchase of...

After having a somewhat bad day today, found this little jem. No matter what, we can always count on Frank making us laugh. Sorry if I embarrass Dweezil for this, but this video was a joy to watch. ...

Threw this together for the promo idea. Used my Sony HD cam using Edius Edit. Hope it helps get more people into the site and entertains everyone! ...

2/4/2014 show at The Crest Theater, during the Be Bop Tango. Shorter clip but Jimmy was having the time of his life here. ...

February 4, 2014: Several guests invited to the stage by Dweezil and the band, demonstrating one way of doing the " funny fast notes " dance during the Be Bop Tango. Crest Theater, Sacramento, CA...
