Request for new tutorials Hey folks, here you can request for new tutorials. As a member of the HPCrazy Students Club you can reply to this topic here. If the topic fits to generel strategy even it's specific I can do that. I am always happy to get some ideas for new tutorials.

There is a new department available in the HPCrazy Guitar Academy : Guitar Beginners If you are a Guitar Beginner - then this is the part which brings you step by step with a various set of exercises to an intermediate guitar playing level. The first 6 - 12 months are hard for any guitar beginner because there are many things which have to be repeated all the time till one is able to perform them on the guitar. These exercises are meant to keep you motivated even if you need to repeat many things over and over again. https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/forum/1-guitar-beginners/

LOL, KISS Destroyer was the first LP I shop lifted. That was before I had my first 8 Track player. I'll have to check if these girls do any Heart songs.

I was really surprised by the growling wench. This is a great band.

Hey guys, on my quest for new tutorials I just ran into this verison of " I was made for loving you " originaly by Kiss. I must say I really love this version here.

Hey guys what do you think about this song for a new tutorial 😄 Love this band.

On special request the song Gimma Tha Power from Molotov. I loved the song and somehow fits a bit in todays time. 🙂 The tutorial is coming tomorrow 🙂

Great news, I am looking forward to it, thanks! 🙂

Hey Sara, thanks for the reminder. As I said I was stuck into technical changements of the HPCrazy Guitar Academy and also the Farbmusik Livestreaming Concerts. All is finishend and I am ready to get into creative parts again. Meaning to get into the topics you mentioned as well. Also the Guitar Nights will come again. And there I in fact want to do acid jazz stuff.

I like all your lessons, especially anything to do with jazz and Spanish/Flamenco guitar. I hope you have plans to post more videos of your "acid" jazz - that last one you posted a long time ago was so unique and amazing. (Here is a link for those who missed it) Maybe that is too difficult to teach but hope you post more performances in the future. 🙂

Hey guys, let me know what your interests would be when it comes to new tutorials. I try to work out your requests since you guys are here in the Students Club 🙂 I always try to work out a mixture of popular - general topics and rare topics, techniques or rare songs which are not talked about on YouTube. It's always kind of a compromise - so you guys can help me out if you want. 🙂

Just my feedback: I'm pleased with any lesson you bring on youtube... so I don't have a particular request HP. I allways catch something for me - even if it's just inspiration. If I have a special request some day ... I will make a comment here. Greets Andrea ?

Thank you so much. I totally understand what you mean about the airplane - really looking forward to your tutorial on this subject.

Hi Sara, yes that makes sense. I think about a few licks and make the tutorial. Not today since I did blues in the past 2 tutorials. Endings are always the tricky part - like flying an airplane taking off and landing is the tricky part of a song - once you are in the air all works easy and fine. Yes the past few weeks were challenging for everybody I guess. I am glad I could contribute something for others. ?

Hi HP, I would like to make a request for a new tutorial. Could you make a tutorial with guitar licks that are good for the endings of jazz and/or blues songs? I couldn't find any tutorials that you did on that subject - did I miss it? I find that the songs that go over the best when I play for others are the ones with well thought out, very obvious endings. Besides stealing ideas from recordings, I wonder if there are some strategies to ending songs well. And/or strategies for ending a song all at the same time when you are playing with others - I am very clueless about that. Thanks for your consideration and also for the amazing lessons - especially during the last few weeks it has been a great thing to look forward to.

Hey Micheal - ok I see. I think I can do something like this since this is a pretty common problem of learning guitarists. I think about something and make a video.

I like the blues rock theme on the electric. Anything to help me to transition from rhythm to playing lead would be helpful. I have been working out a lot of those concepts in your lessons. However, I need more. I have always played rhythm guitar in bands, never lead. I have played lots of open jams where I was playing rhythm and during the song we were playing was asked to solo and was never ready to do that I would just shake my head no. Now I want to be able to say yes I'm ready....put me in coach!

Hi Uncle Larry, I'd recommend this lesson if you like blues - a nice mix of rhythm guitar and soloing...

Hey Larry, you are welcome. Was pretty much work but since this little community is building up it was worth doing it. I do some tutorials from time to time which are exactly for this. Working solo or just with drum and bass and one guitar. yes it's the right place.

Hey HP, want to first say thanks for creating this great place. I make my music with just one guitar. Could use some tips on switching from rhythm to lead and sounding cool. I admire other players who play without a rhythm guitar. I don't wish to copy them; however, I could you some tips/guidelines. Hope I'm putting this request in the right place. Computers really aren't a strong point for me.

Great me too ?

I‘d like to see some more Blues/Bluesrock lessons with Drop-D tuning ?

I can do that - its also fun ?

Thanks a lot! Oh yes, I should check out the lessons you have on latin guitar - never tried that style before.

Hey there - I think about that tuning. That seems to be interesting. Acoustic can go as well but currently I am more on acoustic latin guitar.

Guten tag! I think your tutorials are really helpful and fun. I am interested in using DADGAD tuning for blues music and would like to request a tutorial on that subject. Or if that doesn't fit into your "crazy" master plan, then I request another tutorial on acoustic guitar (I don't have an electric guitar...yet). Thanks in advance for your consideration and for your great teaching skill! :-)
