  1. This song was an order by a customer during the corona crisisand the lockdown to get some peace and relaxation. Took me quite a while to now finally proceed to release this song as well on the Farbmusik YouTube channel since I needed to reorder many things in my work. A few words to this song. It's the color yellow - yellow has a healing power and can put away darkness the best way. I can choosen the 432 Hz tuning to give it more healing power. The customer wished to have a string orchestra added. I love this way of piano music and it's a plan of mine to continue this work even my time is so limited due to the extended service in the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. But for sure I will take this kind of music to a next level.
  2. Here you can listen to a meditativ acoustic guitar song of mine. It's is quite easy to play - at least when it comes to the raw form and chords of it. Those one's I have written down for you as tabs. Check them out and then listen how I played with those chords. I always work on songs that way. I have a raw form upon that one I start to improvise.

  4. Hey Phil - yeah this lesson has a lot of " meat " on it which you can work on.
  5. Thats my opinion too. I can not even tell how simple my home equipment is where I always practice. Just an Roland AC-60 Amp. Just that - since many years.
  6. Here you can learn an guitar duo version of Samba Pa Ti by Carlos Santana. Since many of you might don't have a latin rock band in the near neighbourhood but for sure a buddy who plays guitar I thought it would make sense to create a version for you which works in a guitar duo. Best would be with an acoutic nylon guitar and an electric guitar but it works with any guitar. Here are the chords which the rhythm guitar has to play. In the tutorial I show you how you can do that. It's a bossa nova rhythm guitar which works great on this song. At the end there is a vamp on cue means that you repeat those chords till the guitar solo ends. Gmaj7 / Bm7 / Em / Am / Gmaj7 / Bm7 / Em / Am / D / Am / D / D / Am / Bm / Am / D / D Gmaj7 / Bm7 / Em / Am / Gmaj7 / Bm7 / Em / Am / D / Am / D / D / Am / Bm / Am / D / D Gmaj 7 / Bm / Am / D / Gmaj7 / Bm / Am / D Gmaj7 / Am – Vamp on cue After that part I show you how to play the theme of this great song and after that I give you some tips how you can play a great improvisation on the vamp. At the very end I play a solo myself for you to give you some additional inspiration but for sure you need to check out the original song by Carlos Santana if you dont know it by now. Here are the available chapters : 0:00 Introduction 2:13 Rhythm Guitar 10:33 Theme 17:27 mprovisation 23:37 HP's Solo Samba Pa Ti.pdf Samba Pa Ti ( chords ).pdf Samba Pa Ti.gp samba pa ti.mp3
  7. not all of them - you can upload pics. As a premium member you have more storage space so it should work. ?
  8. Hey Rafi, welcome here in the Guitar Academy. There I played dorian scale with cromatic tones in between. Tutorials about this + Tabs will come in the near future. This lesson was only for the theme and some ideas for soloing.
  9. Thats nice - I will be starting with regular acoustic guitar tutorials in the next days.
  10. A small Fender Amp can be something really cool. B-) And yes the equipment makes only 50% of your sound. The rest is playing technique.
  11. Thats nice Michael - I will make more meditation songs in colors but there are already some available - check " Piano Color Meditation 2019 " but those songs are not so long. Longer ones will come here.
  12. This is Yellow Healing Meditation Piano 432 HZ - meditativ played music in 432 Hz in the color yellow to support your inner and outer healing. Let me know about your experience with this music if you try to meditate with it. Any feedback is welcome. ?
  13. Thats a cool Amp - is it with Valves ? ? and the playing will come - just keep the practicing up ?
  14. You want to play an expressive 80s rock ballad and style of Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, Gary Moore or others this is the tutorial which might solve your questions. This tutorial I show you how you figure out which are the long notes you want to Target in your soloing and how to express them and how to move from one to the other to create a really great melody line. When it comes to slow rock ballads low notes are the really important part of the soloing and the melody creation. If you cannot match the long notes and the target notes the rest will not sounds really cool the runs So before you start your guitar solo you need to analyze the chords of a song and then proceed as I'm showing in tutorial. And this song the chords are like this : G / Em / C / D / G / Em / C / D / Em / C D / Em / C D / Em / C D / Am / D Expressive 80's Rock Balade.pdf Expressive 80's Rock Balade.gp pop rock balade G 80.mp3
  15. Hey Guys, to get you to know better. Talk about your gear here - show us what you are having fun with when you play guitar. ?
  16. Well " Going Home " is very fast - too fast for many. But the song is a legend from Woodstock ?
  17. Samantha Fish would be a great add since here video is pretty popular ? and about Alvin Lee - I always thought that " Going Home " from him would be great....since this version is a legend.
  18. I really love this song - has a lot of drive. ?
  19. Peter Green was one of the most iconic guitar players of the 60s. He started his career as replacing the Eric Clapton with John Mayall & the bluesbreakers. Later he founded Fleetwood Mac. He wrote quite a few songs which became quite famous such as Black Magic Woman which was played by Carlos Santana and became a world hit. Due to several health problems with drugs and mental problems he left Fleetwood Mac and started his own career. Now he passed away in July 2020 at the age of 73. Let's honor his work with his song “ I love another woman “ This blues was played by many guitar players such as Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa or Snowy White. In this tutorial I show you the first 12 bars of his guitar solo which is the most iconic part of this song and explain you the song is built with the chords and give you some ideas how you can solo on your own and how to play those chords in combination with some soloing parts. The song is basically a minor blues in the key of D minor and has the following form : Dm7 / Dm7 / Dm7 / Dm7 Gm7 / Gm7 / Dm7 / Dm7 A7#9 / A7#9 / Dm7 / Dm7 I love another woman.pdf I love another woman.gp i love another woman.mp3
  20. Hey Sara, yes thats very common that the result of improvisation or even playing sounds different from what you thought it is when you record yourself. Thats why it's important to record yourself often to monitor how you sound and improve your playing like this - and singing your soloing indeed helps. It's a matter of practice - just do in small steps as I showed in this lesson and then improve step by step. The singing also shows your " true " playing and hearing ability which can be a bit frustrating once you start with it... same as the recording.
  21. Hey Antonio, thanks for joining here in the HPCrazy Academy. The backing track is posted below the video in this thread here. Just click on the link ? Yes as a beginner you probably have some trouble with the 16ths but just keep it going and work on it. They will come ? In Smooth Jazz you need to have some 16ths but you dont need to be extremly fast or play long runs just to have a certain speed which you can play smoothly and relaxed.
  22. Here you can learn all smooth jazz guitar parts of the song " Summertime " by George Gershwin. I first talk about the theme and show you the very simplified version of the theme in the key of Am. Then I show you how you can spice up the theme with your own interpretation or by adding fillins or addons. After that part I show you the chords which I have used which you can use in a band setting or in a solo guitar setting. The chords and the form are displayed here : Am7 / E7#9 / Am7 / A7b13 / Dm9 / F13 / E7#9 / E7#9 Am7 / E7#9 / Am7 / D9 / C Am / D E / Am7 / E7#9 After that I give you some insight how you can improvise by using the A minor pentatonic, A blues scale, the A minor scale, octaves in the Wes Montgomery or George Benson style and how you can do scatting ( singing the playing your improvisation at the same time ) I also explain how you follow the chords by using target notes of the chords A7b13 , E7#9 and D9. At the end I give you some final notes how you can train your ears that you can hear the notes you are playing in an improvisation better by singing what you are playing. Here you find the chapters of this tutorial 0:00 Introduction 3:25 Theme 11:57 Chords 17:15 Improvisation 27:01 Final Notes I have composed a smooth jazz backing track in the key of Am ( original ) on 80 BPM for this tutorial but you can practice this with any other backing track as well.

  23. Hey folks, I am an artist at moon-music.ch ( https://moon-music.ch/artists/ ) and I am happy that I can offer my students any guitar they are selling at a fair price. So if you are interested a new guitar and want to have it at a reduced price just let me know. I can offer my students a fair price - I think it works best for students from Switerzland - in such case you can come to the HPCrazy Studio and get your guitar personally from me and save the shipping cost. What will also come now is that you can purchase those guitars which I play in the tutorials and which are handpicked from me once I dont want to use them anymore. This goes specially with acoustic guitars and jazzy guitars since my main guitar will stay Dr. Pink - we can not break that connection. ? So send me a personal message here if you are a registered student and have made the premium membership upgrade then I get you your guitar you like and hand it over to you personally. ?
  24. Next tutorial will be a smooth jazz version of Summertime ( George Gerswin ) - I personally liked the version of George Benson always best. Want to keep the jazz and smooth jazz vibe up. Many of you love that - but I think " Where did you sleep last night " will be next on the list soon.
