and just discovered an other guy - Max Ostro

I have been overworking my entire playing with the new guitar. The general idea to get a new concert guitar was that my old guitar the GODIN LGX did not match my expections of the sound of the guitar itself anymore with new playing technique. I have the new guitar since July and in fact it took me till now to really get used to it and to adapt the great features of this new guitar in my playing. Now with the last concert on Dec 27th and played all tasks also life on a concert so that I can say that I am on a new spot in my guitar journey and it's great to continue from there : and this leads to the 2nd part. I did not check the guitar scene so much in the last 3 years and I did not notice what kind of incredible young and new players are out there and these guys really redefine the art of guitar playing a amazing and modern way. I will name 3 of them which really caught my attention : Ichita Niko - he has a really amazing way of creating sound with a lot of harmonics, tapping additions in chords. Tim Henson - I would say he was influenced by Ichita Niko or opposite. A similar way of playing rhythmics, chords and breaking songs appart in different rhythm patterns. But he is more the metal and metal core guy with his band Polyphia : and last but not least the really outstanding new guitar star on the stage of guitar players. Matteo Mancuso - well you find so many video's of him, or reaction videos. And all pro players give this guy a big " WOW " - me too. This guy is really on a new level of gutiar playing and in fact he is encouraging me to work more on my finger picking stuff. This guy gave me some really serious thoughts which direction I want to go next - and I came to the finding that the individual music and composing makes every artist unique and special - so I continue my path with the Farbmusik Concerts. But you check Matteo Mancuso - this guy really plays the biggest technical difficulties total effortless and perfect.

Hey Jim, thanks for your nice feedback. That's exactly what is the idea behind this community. I would wish that more students would take the opportunity to communicate with eachother - for the benefit of the students. But that is the only thing where I don't have an influence here.

A bery good and important topic. This is exactly what has happened to me each time I wander away from playing. I hit a plateau because I stop learning new things... And I get bored. I think I'm now in a good place where I have so much material to learn that I will probably play for as long as I am physically able to. What also helps to keep me motivated is having a community of people with common interests to share the journey. The HP Crazy lessons and community is the perfect combination of education, inspiration and conversation.
