    Creative Rock Guitar Riff - Tabs & Backing Track Here you can see on how to develop a very simple rock guitar riff with the chords A / F G from a very simple approach to more sophisticated by adding something more every 2nd row you play it. All modules of this rock guitar riff can be mixed up the way you like it but I strongly recommend to repeat one specifice versio at least 2 times that the listener has a chance to experience the development of the riff. The backing track is very simple and leaves you the open space for your rock guitar work. These files are associated to this tutorial here :

The old classic design and the modern design which you always see in the intro of each HPCrazy Video. There is a premium and a normal t-shirt available either for men or women. And I make like 5 US$ for each sales. It's not a real buisness here but it's fun to have this T-Shirt shop.

  6. View File Sweep Picking Exercises Sweep Picking Exercises Here you find 2 different sweep picking exercises following the normal diatonic major chords. The first exercise is easier than the 2nd one. If you are new to sweep picking, start with the first one and do it really slowly and pay close attention to the details of your picking hand because that's the hard part of these exercises. I have added an audio file with 70 bpm. I would take this as a first goal before you try to more to higher tempo's. In general sweep picking is a technique which in fact needs a lot of patience till you can start to use it in your regular playing. The best method to approach it is to keep it slow and really focus on the picking hand once you have the patterns of your grabbing hand done.

  11. Hey Darrell, welcome here at the academy. Here is the riff which is played on the backing track :
  12. A little feedback on yesterday's concert in Seegräben. It was wonderful again. About 20 people on site and 50 online and there was once again an improvised piano concert to listen to. The piano in Seegräben does not necessarily meet the highest professional standards and the journey to Seegräben is unfortunately too arduous for many interested people because there is no connection to public transport. But there is a reason why I always play in Seegräben. I myself once lived in Seegräben and in this church I often sat alone at the piano there and developed concepts and music, which accompany me to this day in my creative work and this piano, which is about 100 years old, is also part of the creative flow. In my opinion the creative flow is much more important than the marketing technical aspects of a concert and with the respective live broadcast the people can still be there. What is planned for the future ? Now I finally want to integrate the guitar more into the concerts. Up to now there was not enough time to work out a new program. This is the next item on the pending list. I have ordered a new color lighting, which should dip the room more into the played color. Unfortunately it was not delivered yesterday, but I hope that the next concert on 8.12. will be the first time this lighting will be in use.
  13. Hey Wayne, what exactly is the problem ? Seems like you were able to log in...
  14. I was really trying to work out the t-shirt shop with Shopify but it was too complicated and at the end it did not work out. So I went back to my old t-shirt store. If you want to have a t-shirt here you are. The modern design will come as soon as possible. At the moment there is only the classic design available. hpcrazy
  15. Dirty Blues Rock Lead Guitar Here I show you some advanced tips and tricks on how to play a dirty blues rock lead guitar. We are working with 3 minor pentatonic positions and with a lot of dynamic shifts created with pinch harmonics, vibrato's, bendings and also with the wah - pedal. You don't need a wah pedal for this tutorial but it is recommended. The trick is not to play fast runs. It's to play intensely by using the playing techniques I will show you.

  16. Just saw your request now - sorry I have overseen it. But anyway that part is to extended to tab it out. I think I was explaining something with the concept and then went for a demonstration.
  17. Hey Ian, yeah I remember your comment. The AXE FX III is not cheap - if you have the money go for it, if you budget is limited you might go for the FM3. That has a similar soundquality for a smaller price with the same amps and cabinets... more or less. I have both and I love them both. My Epiphone is not a regular one. It's from the elitist series - so you might need to replace the pickups to regular Gibson pickups and there you should be more or less there. Here are now my sound settings here : The cabinet is 4*12 Recto + 4*12 Fractal ( so I use 2 cabinets ) Delay is a pingpong delay on 7% Mix, Feedback 50% Reverb - Large Hall Compression - Studio Compression 2:1 Ratio
  18. I had a few technical problems today with the update of the software of the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. All should be fine now - but if any unusual problems occur please let me know.
