Hey guys, I hear so often that people don't understand why the HPCrazy Guitar Academy does not have that big traffic as some guys out there think it would be worth. Well the truth is - there is a lot of competion out there in the net and there are companies, teams or groups who probably have more man-power then I do have. I am a one man company and I am doing everything myself - even this website. Well it's a CMS by invision power board but still I do all the maintainance, the promotion and the content creation including the production of the backing tracks myself. You probably now see the problem - I can not be everywhere - the main problem is that I don't have the time for the promotion, the sharing of posts in social media or other websites or guitar communities and and and. So if you would like to help this community to grow you can help by doing some sharing of posts or videos or whatever. Any help is most welcome. But here are some good news - I feel like the community in fact is growing day by day in a slow manner but it's always growing. With your help it might grow faster.... so it's up to you to help. I do what I can do.
