On my last fullmoon concert which I started only on piano at the beginning of the year I announced that on the next concert on Oct. 9th I will bring back the solo guitar into the game. That means for me that I am starting to practice my finger style guitar songs on Farbmusik again and of course also my Touch Technique which more or less is in fact piano playing on the guitar. I must say this technique is really hard when you start to learn it. It's not only that you are doing 2 hand tapping. It's also the fact that you only have 6 strings on the regular guitar and the space is really limited. But I really love love love this technique on the 6 string guitar because it expands the creative expression on the regular guitar so much. But still I have bought a 7 string guitar now because I sometimes really would love to have one additional string. Here you can download the tabs of a song played with touch technique free for all members : And here you can listen to how it will sound at the end on a concert :

Composing Royalities Reading my royality report by Swiss composer association SUISA I see a huge rise of usage of my music internationaly. Somehow the Google cooperation used my music very often and as it seems also Netflix in one case. Thats really cool. I got signed by a LA music library like 10 years ago and it looks like the music from that library made the way to those huge companies. I love to be a composer and back in 2008 - 2012 I really pushed it hard to get into that buisness but the competition is huge since it is international. I got quite successful back in these days with many placements in Swiss TV and also ABC, BBC and many other broadcasting companies but somehow I thought the effort to get there is too big for what you get and then I decided to push for the HPCrazy YouTube channel which took off really fast in 2012 - 2015.
