The next Guitar Lab Livestream will be on Thursday 16th July at 6PM Zürich time and I will be talking about Marc Knopfler style fingerpicking. Don't miss it.

Here I will talk about tips and tricks for finger picking specific on soloing - it goes a bit in the direction of Marc Knopfers finger picking style. You are free to ask any questions during the livestream. The livestream is taking place at 6PM / Zürich Time

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.

There is a new " Best Use " Video out :

I want bring back the awareness for this cool tutorial which I did like 4 years ago. Carlos Santana is a great guitar artist and his compositions are quite easy to play and worth checking them out. This song here is a very nice example for that.

Here I am talking about one of the core elements in any blues guitar improvisation. The dialogue between to people which is displayed into music. Most of the time, it involves arguments between a married couple. So it's not about guitar licks - it's more about talking on guitar and displaying a dialogue.

Here I show you a very easy and effectiv way to get creative with your hard rock guitar riff with a drop D tuning by just using 3 very basic rhythm patterns. Here you can download the files associated to this tutorial :

Here I share my view what you can do in the improvisation to Wayne Shorters " Footprints ". I am using the melodic minor and lydian b7 modes to create a really mystic and open vibe in the improvisation. Here you can download the files associated to this tutorial :

Here I give you exercises to make combinations with rock guitar chords and single note lines. The key or the secret sauce is the precision. I show you 3 very similar but very useful examples how you can play chords and single note lines in order to create very tight rock guitar sound.

Five Steps to Heaven – Synesthetic ScoreMit „Five Steps to Heaven“ bricht der Komponist und Musiker Hanspeter Krüsi bewusst mit den traditionellen Konventionen des modernen Musik-Engineerings. Das Stück ist kein klassisches orchestrales Werk, sondern die konsequente Manifestation eines Synesthetic Score (Farbmusik) – Musik, die durch ihre Textur, Harmonik und Raumgestaltung eine spezifische visuelle Schwingung im Hörer freisetzt: Hellblau in Reinkultur. Die Architektur der Schwerelosigkeit (Das Frequenz-Vakuum)Traditionelle epische Arrangements stützen sich auf ein massives, erdendes Bassfundament. „Five Steps to Heaven“ entzieht sich dieser Schwerkraft radikal. Durch das bewusste Weglassen tiefer Kontrabässe oder schwerer Synthesizer entsteht ein akustisches Vakuum. Im Vordergrund perlt ein minimalistisches, rhythmisch repetitives Piano, dessen gläserne Anschläge wie fallende Wassertropfen wirken. Darüber liegt ein monumentaler Frauenchor, dessen ätherische „Ah“-Texturen in den obersten Registern eine unendliche Weite aufspannen. Tief unter dem Radar, in den unteren Mitten, agiert eine subtil eingewobene Harfe. Sie fungiert als hölzern-kristalliner Anker, der dem Stück Wärme verleiht, ohne den Raum zuzustellen. Es entsteht eine faszinierende Transparenz – rein, durchsichtig und tief wie der Ozean. Modale Synästhesie: Das Spiel mit dem LichtDie dramaturgische Reise des Stücks wird rein über die modale Harmonik gesteuert: Der Raum in C-Lydisch: Der Hauptteil basiert auf der lydischen Tonleiter. Die für diesen Modus charakteristische übermäßige Quarte (F#) nimmt der Musik jede vertraute Symmetrie. Sie lässt das Klangbild visuell aufsteigen und erzeugt das Gefühl eines lichten, wolkenlosen Blaus. Der Bruch in C-Äolisch: Im Mittelteil schlägt das Licht abrupt in Melancholie um. Durch den Wechsel zu Natürlich Moll (Äolisch) verdunkelt sich das visuelle Spektrum schlagartig zu einem tiefen, opaken Indigo, bevor das Stück im Finale wieder in die Schwerelosigkeit des Lydischen aufbricht. Geordnetes Chaos im sakralen RaumDas Finale des Stücks ist ein radikaler Akt künstlerischer Souveränität. Hier interagieren die Chöre – erweitert durch einen beschwörenden Männerchor – in einer freien modalen Improvisation. Die klassischen Regeln der barocken Stimmführung werden bewusst aufgelöst. Dadurch, dass sich alle Stimmen völlig frei, aber strikt innerhalb der lydischen Matrix bewegen, entsteht eine höhere Form der Ordnung im vermeintlichen Chaos. Die Stimmen reiben sich in der gigantischen Akustik einer Kathedrale und erzeugen komplexe Frequenz-Cluster. Diese psychoakustischen Schwebungen lassen die Einzelstimmen zu einem oszillierenden Lichtband verschmelzen. Das bereichernde Vakuum„Five Steps to Heaven“ ist im besten Sinne des sakralen Minimalismus unvollständig konzipiert. Der gesamte Mittenbereich wurde im Mix bewusst freigehalten und bildet ein perfektes Vakuum. Es ist die offene Bühne für eine singende, modale Solo-Gitarre, die sich wie ein warmer Lichtstrahl durch dieses monumentale, blaue Eis schneiden wird. Ein Stück für Hörer, die das Transzendente, Mystische und die pure menschliche Ausdruckskraft abseits starrer Industriestandards suchen.
