There I will be talking about the most important tool in rock guitar - Tone Control If you want to give your vote or comment on any future Premium Member Workshops you can discuss this here : I strongly recommend that you get more active here in this community because I buildt it for you guys. 😇 Now lets move on to the new tutorials this month : Blues Advanced Blues Guitar Course - First Steps : Here we are taking the first steps on the path to advanced blues guitar improvisation where we start playing more then only the minor pentatonics on a blues. The first steps are to train yourself to always know where in the blues form you are and what the chord is and that you are able to play material ( chord notes and / or the related major pentatonic with the approach note ) where it is required. Cool Summer Blues Guitar : Here I show you a very cool and simple but yet not very simple summer blues guitar riff and some ideas how to develop the tune with some ideas with the E minor pentatonic. I created a cool tarantino style backing track for this cool blues guitar lesson. Rock Basic Rock Guitar Training - Chord Combinations : Here we are working on the most important automatism when it comes to rock guitar training. It's the form and putting in different elements and chord combinations into the musical form. Basic Rock Guitar Training - Legato Playing : Great rock guitar solo's always have bigger parts of legato playing included. So the legato playing technique has to get trained as well. In general it is called the Hammer - On and the Pull - Off technique were I show you the very first steps where you can start to train your abilities of legato playing in rock guitar. We start in the very easy open string position of the E minor pentatonic to get to know this technique and then we move it up to the regular position in the XIIth fret. Jazz Jazz Guitar Essentials - Phrygian Mode : Here I show you the essentials which you can play when you play the phrygian mode on jazz guitar. This includes cool chord combinations, some soloing with the pentatonic but also the phrygian mode and some ideas with some upper structure triads. In the case of the E phrygian mode the F and the F major chord or arpeggio are the most defining factors if you want to high light the phrygian mode and don't want to let it sound like a regular minor pentatonic improvisation. Jazz Guitar Essentials - Lydian Mode : Here I show you my view on the essentials you need to know if you want to master the lydian mode. I show you some chords, useful patterns and some easy tricks to display the lydian mode. The trick is in fact to focus on the options in the lydian mode which in the case of F lydian is the G ( 9th ) and the B ( #11 ) - this creates the mystical feel if you want to outline the magic of the lydian mode. Updated older tutorials : I am from time to time update older tutorials which are still great but probably have got forgotten to showcase them. Here's one of them which I still love : https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/topic/3088-beautiful-acoustic-guitar-chords-am/ These were now the latest news. Thanks to everybody for the ongoing support here in the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. Best HP

Farbmusik Piano Solo Dolby Atmos https://farbmusik.com/piano-solo-dolby-atmos.html In meiner Arbeit mit Farbmusik ging es immer darum, Schwingungen fühlbar und Farben hörbar zu machen. Mit der Evolution von Dolby Atmos kann ich diese Schwingungen nun präzise im dreidimensionalen Raum um dich herum platzieren. Sie hören die Musik nicht mehr – Sie befinden sich mitten in ihrem Ursprung. Klassisches Stereo reicht von links nach rechts. Diese neuen, speziell für Kopfhörer optimierten binauralen 3D-Mischungen brechen diese Grenze auf. Das Klavier atmet im Raum: Sie spüren das tiefe Fundament der Bassnoten direkt unter sich, während die feinen, kaskadierenden Hall-Räume und Echos der Töne über und hinter Ihnen schweben. Das Beste daran: Keine spezielle Hardware nötigSie benötigen für dieses faszinierende Klangerlebnis keine teure Surround-Anlage und keine technischen Vorkenntnisse. Jeder Kopfhörer funktioniert: Setzen Sie einfach Ihre ganz normalen, gewohnten Lieblings-Kopfhörer auf. Sofortiges Eintauchen: Die dreidimensionale Raumwirkung ist direkt in den Audio-Stream eingerechnet. Sobald Sie auf "Play" drücken, öffnet sich der Raum. Neue CD : Synesthetic Score In einer Ära, in der digitale Algorithmen und künstliche Intelligenz den Musikmarkt mit austauschbarer Massenware fluten, ist es mir wichtig ein radikales Zeichen für die unkopierbare Kraft menschlicher Schöpfungssouveränität zu setzen. Mit meinem weltweit einzigartigen Konzept der Farbmusik möchte ich ein völlig neues Genre: den „Synesthetic Score“ definieren. Dies sind orchestrale Komposition aus dem Bereich Filmmusik, Score und Broadcasting mit der Verbindung von live gespielter Gitarre welche im klassischen Orchester die Rolle der Sopranistin übernimmt, oder auch das Piano dass ein Farbmusik Klavierkonzert mit Orchester spielt. Als erfahrener Komponist seit vielen Jahren, kann ich hier aus dem Vollen schöpfen und die Grenzen der Filmmusik mit dem „Synesthetic Score“erweitern. Hier sind 3 Stücke welche neu sind und welche auf der kommenden CD Ende Jahr vertreten sein werden :

Here I show you a very cool and simple but yet not very simple summer blues guitar riff and some ideas how to develop the tune with some ideas with the E minor pentatonic.

Here I will be talking about tone control and some vital tricks to make your rock guitar sound great. It's not enought just to play the powerchords, you need to know the tricks between sound settings and playing technique.

RISE FROM THE ASHES – Wenn die Farbe Rot Musik wirdMit „Rise From The Ashes“ erscheint der erste Satz einer Reihe neuer musikalischer Werke, die das Konzept der Farbmusik auf eine neue, cineastische Ebene heben. Das Stück widmet sich ganz der Farbe Rot – nicht als reine Nuance, sondern als Sinnbild für Energie, Schmerz, Leidenschaft und die ungezähmte Kraft der Wiederaufstehung. Das Konzept & die AkustikEingebettet in die gewaltige Akustik einer sakralen Kathedrale, steht ein tiefes, schwingendes Orchesterfundament einer ausdrucksstarken Sologitarre gegenüber. Die Aufnahme der Gitarre erfolgte in einem einzigen, ungeschnittenen Take – inklusive all ihrer Effekte und der unmittelbaren Raumantwort. Diese bewusste Entscheidung wahrt die rohe, unverkennbare menschliche Emotion über die sterile mathematische Perfektion digitaler Editierung. Die Dramaturgie: Ein dreiteiliger Synesthetic ScoreDas Werk entfaltet seine Geschichte über eine klassische 3-Akt-Struktur: Die Asche (Setup): Ein tiefes, lähmendes Fundament etabliert die Dunkelheit nach dem Zusammenbruch. Das Aufbäumen (Konflikt): Die Leadgitarre übernimmt die Rolle einer dramatisierenden Singstimme und kämpft sich Schritt für Schritt nach oben. Der Triumph (Resolution): Im finalen Crescendo entlädt sich die gesamte Intensität – ein ehrlicher, schmerzhafter Kraftakt der Befreiung. Rise From The Ashes markiert den Auftakt zu einer Reihe von farbbasierten Werken, die schrittweise in das umfassende Album-Projekt „Synesthetic Score“ münden werden. The Power of Transformation: The Color Red"Rise From The Ashes" marks the musical opening of a new journey within the Farbmusik concept. This piece is dedicated to the intense, raw energy of the color RED—a symbol of struggle, transformation, passion, and rising from the embers. Visually and aurally, the composition transports the listener into a massive, sacred cathedral engulfed in flames. Deep orchestral textures and dense spatial reverberation form the foundation, over which an expressively wailing solo guitar ascends. The Philosophy: A Raw, Uncut MomentIn an era of digital over-polishing, this piece consciously emphasizes human sovereignty and untamed emotion. The solo guitar was recorded in a single, unedited "one-take" performance—capturing every micro-nuance, articulation, and dynamic friction that forms the true core of human expression. This track unfolds as part of the evolving project "Synesthetic Score," where visual color perception and musical dramaturgy merge into an immersive auditory experience.

I want to highlight this cool chord progression again. It works for acoustic guitar but also for electric guitar if you use a chorus effect and probably some delay. Just make sure that your delay is synched to the quarter note of your beat. In order to play it really fluently I recommend to play it with finger picking.

Hey Greg, yes that's possible. I will upload it at the beginning of next week since I will not be in the studio till monday.

Here I show you my view on the essentials you need to know if you want to master the lydian mode. I show you some chords, useful patterns and some easy tricks to display the lydian mode. The trick is in fact to focus on the options in the lydian mode which in the case of F lydian is the G ( 9th ) and the B ( #11 ) - this creates the mystical feel if you want to outline the magic of the lydian mode.
