Here I recorded a spontaneous take after the videoshoot of the minor blues guitar tutorial. I wanted to get a puristic approach to minor blues and relating to Peter Greens style back from the 60's with a strong spring reverb effect and no additional effects. I have used a Vibra King amp with a 2*12 cabinet with an off-axis microphone setting, a large spring reverb with a mix level of 25% and a dunlop cry baby. I began the recording with finger picking and in the 3rd chorus I switched to normal pic technique. The great thing with puristic recordings is that these details in fact matter.

Everybody on the planet can enjoy my lessons on my YouTube channel. There you get a detailed view of my special teaching concept which I developed over many years after my master degree. You also get an insight into my complete world as guitarist and musician. I am a professor for guitar since 1998 working with many students at my own german guitar academy, also working at Swiss music university and major global online guitarsites. I have found my very own concept of playing and teaching which has the focus on the emotional connection with the guitar. Some of you might have noticed my different approach talking about emotions, colors or pictures in combination with guitarplaying. Thats what it is all about in guitarplaying once you have mastered the basics on the guitar - and that is what I am showing here at the HPCrazy' Academy.
