A native of Woodstock, New York, Weider was born in 1951 and began playing guitar at age 11. Some of his early influences included Chuck Berry, James Burton and Scotty Moore. While still a teenager in Woodstock, he became acquainted with Levon Helm and was exposed to The Band's music. Weider went on to become an accomplished studio session player in cities such as Atlanta and Nashville, but eventually returned to Woodstock and was invited to become The Band's sole guitarist in 1985, remaining until the group's dissolution in 2000 following the death of Rick Danko in late 1999.
Weider's main instrument is the Fender Telecaster, but he also plays a vintage 1960s Silvertone electric guitar (primarily for slide) and a vintage 1960s Guild Starfire III. For amplification, Weider uses a combination of Fender amplifiers and his own signature series JW40 amp, designed in conjunction with Fargen Amplification, Inc.
In addition to his work with The Band and his own musical group The Jim Weider Band, Weider has performed and recorded with numerous other musicians, including Robbie Dupree, Dr. John, Graham Parker, Keith Richards and Bob Weir. He is also featured in several instructional videos produced by Homespun Video

I ran to catch a band that didn't exist anymore, after returning to NYC in '82. THE BAND was playing a street festival! It was the first of many times in the 80's that I caught Jim Weider with them, and a few more times with his own band. His records (ok, CDS) have such stellar amazing passages in them. When he does an instrumental, u go on a ride along with him unlike any other guitarist can take you on. This album isn't his best, but you can notice the talent just as plaIn as day! Check out his others, PULSE & PERCOLATOR, and BIG FOOT. No guitarist ever impressed me as much as JIM WEIDER.
