Here I show you the basic phrasing exercises which are crucial to have a cool and laid back swing phrasing. These exercises seem to be very basic but you have to do all of them with your foot on 2 & 4. This is the most crucial thing when you want to have a really cool jazz guitar phrasing. Here you can download the files associated to this tutorial :

Ah yes Rolling 7s is the song by Dirty Honey ?...my bad...

Yeah love them too - but they are called Dirty Honey ? A student of mine sent me the link. ?

John Petrucci is awesome and definitely belongs on this list...I like this song from Rolling 7s..the guitar solo is intense and the song is heavy....

This one is one of the favorites on the list and this one

Yeah me too...

Gary play with them twice. 2 different albums.....love them still!

Speaking of Thin Lizzy I remember playing jailbreak back in the day with a cover band...OMG that was such a long time ago...lol

I had this on vinyl back in the day how with a different cover

No denying his influence on Thin Lizzy and Phil Lynott

Cool...thanks Mike!...chances are I have the CD packed away somewhere but in this day and age of music downloading and streaming who still uses CDs? LOL

Back on the Streets, 1978, I just found the entire album and posted it here. You will know some of the songs!

Hey Mike...thanks..what is name of his first album? ...I'll definitely check it out...

Hey Tony you can find some samples of the jazz stuff on Gary's first solo album as well as every style he played. I'll find it for you if you want?

Hey Michael I've always known about Gary's rock and blues playing but never about his jazz playing skills until seeing this interview

Gary could play some amazing jazz fusion!

Yeah Gary Moore was one of my great idols - specially on balads ?

Hey guys, I have created a new " Must Have " series in my tutorials. Learing guitar is individual and interests are different so not every tutorial is for everybody of course. I always try to cover all topics and also don't let out interesting parts of guitar playing which probably are not so popular but still of interest of some of you. But there are topics which really are of interest for any player - these one's are now marked with " Must Have " Hope you enjoy this new series.

You are quite welcome HP...

Hey Tony, cool maybe she likes some of my songs - it's always good when your wife also shares your music taste. Makes things a bit easier ? And thanks for forwarding my music to your friend. Hopefully he likes to support my work. ?

Hey HP, I will let my wife listen. She does appreciate skillful and tasteful guitar playing but she's one of those types that prefers to listen to songs with lyrics. However I just sent one of my friends the link to your music who really digs guitar playing who might purchase your music and i will reach out to some more of my friends to see If they would be interested in supporting your work. Regards,

Hey Tony, thanks for buying it ? - and yeah the track no 6 is a pretty personal song. Quite a while since I recorded this CD. I hope your wife will like the music - even you said she wont ?

Yeah so I did finally purchase HP's In Rock CD and all I can say that it's awesome! I really like it all but I'm a big fan of ballads so track number 06 Balade might be my favorite. I mean it's packed with so much emotion that it almost made me want to do something (I'll keep it clean here for the kiddies ?) but yeah it's freaking awesome!

Hey guys, somehow the new tutorial got lost in the newsfeed - so just a reminder that the next tutorial will be Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix - btw on special request of one of you students. You can always request tutorials - I pick one of those if I think it fits to the Academy and serves a general interest. ? So here the Jimi Hendrix Tutorial :

Speaking of "Must Have" has anyone purchased HP's "In Rock" CD? I was just listening to some of the sample audio clips and determined that this is a must have for my music collection. I like to play instrumental CDs while relaxing sometimes or doing things around the house. The wife doesn't care for instrumentals as much but I guess us guitar players appreciate it more because we speak the guitar language. ?

Really?...thanks HP

Here's Steve Vai on lead guitar.

Who's the guitarist on this recording? sounds so Eddie Van Halen-esq

Hi Mike, Yes Mr. Schenker is an inspiration to me as well. I pretty much love everything he has done but if I had to pick 3 of his songs that are my favorites I would say: Cry for the nation's, Lost Horizons and Feels like a good thing..

Hi Tony, Michael is still an inspiration to me everything he did....from the 1970's to now.

Maybe you could do something on the style of Michael Schenker one of these days in the artist studies or cover section? Although in my opinion to play anything of Michael's is quite challenging. 2 of his less difficult songs that come to mind I played in a cover band back in the day were Armed and Ready from his first solo album and on and on from his second.

Yes he is a great guitar player. ?

I will start with the Guitar Talk - Live Streams this or the next week. The idea is that you can ask me questions in the chat on YouTube and I show you how to solve your problem and in between I play a bit guitar when no questions are here. So the more questions you have the more interesting this live guitar talk will be for you. Now here comes the main problem. At which time shall this be. I already made a voting on YouTube but I want that members on the HPCRazy Students Club are benefited - so here's the vote again about the time this guitar talk shall take place. You can also give suggestions what I can talk about....

Nice, I see Dr Pink smiling for this picture

This is the logo which markes those video's with the " Must Have " feature.
