Axe FX Ultra g66.eu I have started to endorse the Axe FX now. Since I am a big fan of the sound and soundpossibilities this is not very hard for me. The more and more I get into the work in the studio and live with the Axe FX Ultra the more I can't be without it anymore.

New sound equipement I got a new amazing piece of equipement in my studio which I will use for my recording and my liveplaying. It is the Fractal Audio Axe FX Ultra - view http://www.fractalaudio.com/ Somebody recommend it to me and I bought it without hearing how it sounds.... and IT IS GREAT !!! The Ampmodels are great and the effects are really outstanding and they sound like the effects of the legendary Eventide H3000 or Lexikcon PCM70. And the latency of this thing is only 2ms ( compare with the line 6 POD - 5ms ) and yes this makes a great difference. You feel when you want to play fast.

4.9.08 Tomorrow is my birthday so I wanted to have all work finished to be able to celebrate it a bit tomorrow since I am going through a lot of hard working times in the last weeks.

10.08.08 HPCRAZY.COm is getting shut down now. I have startetd to make the major chages which means that the time onn HPCRAZY.COM now finally has come to an end. I have been thinking a very long time about this - wheather this would not be dangerous since I have worked over 10 years to spread the name " HPCRAZY " . But I guess this step can not longer be avoided. It will take some time till all changements have gone through since the whole system is very complex. But this is now the very first but final step to do this. Kind of sad - but this will take me one step futher now. And check out the new design of my homepage. Greetings HP

New camera I am going to get myself a new camera. A Canon HV30 - this is a high definition camera and will rise the quality of the videos. Then slowy I will start to shift this school to the new quality. I am sure you are going to love it. Becoming a tougher teacher Since I always have beeing a very easy going teacher always thinking that fun on the guitar must be first - I have decided to become much thougher by telling you how things are and what is really required to reach certain goals on the guitar. My own experience was that learning the guitar is not always fun. Sometimes you have to work hard to get to the next step and from my 10 years experience of…
