Here's now the November 23 newsletter : Blues Advanced use of the mixolydian mode : In this month I made 2 tutorials on the advanced use of the mixolyidan mode. I am showing licks and also possibilities to make combinations with the minor and major pentatonics. For the fans of minor blues I made a tutorial where I teach you how to make combinations with a minor blues riff and lead guitar. Rock Month of the modes : In this month I made 2 tutorials about the use of modes. On is an easy introduction on how to use modes in a tune and the other one talks specific about the dorian mode in a rock guitar envirement. Jazz Advanced tutorials : I've made a tutorial about one of the most iconic jazz guitar tunes " Midnight Blue " by Kenny Burrell and a tutorial which teaches you the advanced use of modes in a simple progression by using the " modal interchange " method which is very common in jazz. Month of the modes This month was very much focused on modes. They are the tools to really make great music and expand your playing on a way more expressive and creative level. If you still have difficulties in understanding modes and the theory behind it, I strongly recommend that you work yourself through the theory first. or you make yourself familiar with the theory of the diatonic chord progression which explains you how to analyze a chord progression and how to proceed modal interchange.

That's the name of the service I have connected to this website. It does not work in all countries worldwide but it's a great first step to solve this problem and more and more countries are included in Stripe.com. New concerts ( livestreams ) Since I have decided to take my creative powers back to the center of my work. I am restarting my career as a live performer with 2 concepts. The one concept is the Farbmusik Fullmoon Concerts held in the small church in Seegräben ( Switzerland ). There I perform my unique concept of improvising colors on piano and guitar and people can experience the colors with the music and the light. During the concert I have a small controller where I can select the color I will improvise next and people can wish any color they want. The concerts are also broadcasted live but due to the low light settings inside the church you don't see so much but you still see the color and the audio quality is good. The next concert is on Nov. 27th - if you are around near Seegräben Switzerland you can also be part of it in the small growing live audience. and the 2nd concept are the HPCrazy Guitar Nights which I started again 2 months ago. This is currently only a livestream from my studio even there was a small live audience there each time. So if you are near Egg ZH ( Switzerland ) and you want to join in the small live audience send me a PM. The next concert is on Nov. 24th. and please support my work with a donation even if you are only a viewer of the livestream. There is in fact a lot of work behind all of this which keeps me very busy on a 7 day week. I also started to compose and record again. This will also go into the concerts. Here a most recent work. A very dark ambient guitar tune called " Black Hole " Thats all for the moment. That's for your attention and thanks for your support here on this small but growing community. If you love my work please support it with a T-Shirt, a premium membership or a donation. There is now a T-Shirt shop on my YouTube Channel.
