Well the low notes are not used here.

Thanks Phil, sorry there aren't any tabs available. But the key is F major which are the same notes as D minor. Just an other root note. Check those patterns here. They work out fine and are basicly the ones I used.

This is a simple blues in the color " indigo " - I have played both instruments the piano and the guitar. The piano was played in a special moment you can see in the picture. Below you find the original piano track I have recorded some time ago. simple blues.mp3

Yeah saw it too that we hit 100 members here in the HPCrazy Students Club - cool it is growing slowly but surly. ?

Jazz can be very cool - it does not need to get complicated - and you really dont need to play fast there. ?

very cool - yes thats an album everybody should once have listened to - there can be a lot learnt of Miles Davis. ?

Here you can learn the Jazz Standard " So What " influenced by Miles Davis version on his CD " Kind of Blue ". You can learn the Theme and some tips and tricks about modal improvisation. Topics there are the dorian mode, upper structure triads, timing, playing laid back, playing over the bar line and similar topics. Below you find the chapters which are talked about.

Thanks Phil, I try - last year was pretty challenging - and I made the video already today that I can enjoy my birthday tomorrow. ?

Here you can learn to play Happy Birthday as a rock version with some distorted lead guitar. And my birthday is on Sept. 5th. Happy Birthday.pdf

Thats exactly what happened on this day. Channeled the energy into music. ? Yes of course they were allowed to applause at the end but I found out through other concerts that it's better to work without applause till the end of the concert.

I played a piano concerto on Aug 31th in the Kluspark Kapelle in Zürich. I was playing the colors : Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet and Indigo as a final piece. All songs have been improvised by visualizing the color played. I have been playing this concert the whole year because on that day Venus was conjunt my natal Sun in my astrological chart. This means thats the best day for art, love and creative self expression. So I recorded this concert for you that you can listen to it as well. I really enjoyed it and through the concert I also visualised Ballet dancers or only one Ballet dancer. The audience was advised to not make any applause even somebody did after red. Enjoy hearing the colors and the dance. Piano Concerto - Farbmusik.mp3

yes you are right.

one trick when it comes to wifes not liking the guitar playing of there husbands. Play accoustic guitar from times to times. That is more liked and respected. I dont know why - but I noticed over the years when I heard the talks of students.

Yeah I of course know John Mc Laughlin - he still is a great guitar player but his highlighted years were in fact the 70's. Good thing with age - one is never to old for guitar playing.

yes this is an important thing to know - if you are into distorted lead guitar.

Thats a good thing to do. ?

You can already work on it if you want. The backing track is on the Rock Backing Tracks Vol. 2 - Rock Balade Am 1 or 2 - I dont remember now which one exactly ?

Oh I forget that one.... I will be on that very soon.

I think quite a few players are from beginners - intermediate. So this is the level I am targeting with all my normal guitar lessons. Guitar Masterclasses are then from intermediate - advanced.

Hey folks, there have only been a few months since I have opened up the HPCrazy Students Club and we are now approaching 100 members which is pretty cool. So here my thoughts for you students how to use the HPCrazy Students Club. If you are a free member or a premium member you both have the possibility to start new topics here. So you can use this feature to talk with other students about whatever you want. What is now coming in the near future are the Guitar Nights here in Switzerland were students of mine can participate live in the opening act. This refers to the online students and my students here in Switzerland as well. So here you can choose and discuss the songs which you want to play on such opening act. Beginners are also welcome. The opening acts are not about perfection - it's about fun playing guitar. But you need to be able to play your parts through - thats the only condition to play at a opening act. Yeah so these were now the amazing news - stay tuned and keep on practicing guitar. And remember our community motto : WE ARE ALL CRAZY ... crazy about guitar playing. HP

Hey Phil, yeah that was really near. I live one hour from Basel away and a bit longer from the Gotthard. The Gotthard Pass is for sure a place one has to see. I often go to mountains to seek some inspriation. If you come to Zürich let me know.

Hey Phil, well if you can play the pentatonics in one position ( no. 1 ) and you can play some licks and rhythm guitar you can follow most of the lessons. Only if you want to really follow the masterclasses you need to have your things a bit more together. For sure it's very useful to know all pentatonic positions. That I strongly recommend.

Hey Phil, thanks for sharing your story. Greetings to your wife. Amazing that you have been together already 38 years. I never achieved a long relation so I really envy you. Thanks for joining the students club and becoming a premium member.
