Hey guys, many people always asked me if I play in a band and in the past years I always said, that I don't play in a band because I am too busy with all my online projects which were going really well. But it always was something I wanted to do but of course I am really picky with musicians even everybody wanted to play with me in Switzerland. Well maybe not everybody but most of the musicians I know always said that they would join me if I would form a band. I had a talk with Mario Caspar 2 days ago. And I consider him the best drummer in Switzerland when it comes to funky, straight ahead and bluesy grooves. He said he's in and drummers always want to select there bass players and he has choosen Lubo Kopka because he wanted to have a bass player which plays easy going and simple but very steady and laid back. So thats the band now - a trio. Me, Mario and Lubo. You can see Mario and Lubo on the video's on Mario's Channel with the Kurt Ackermann band. Our first meeting will be in January and then we will see how far we get. Due to the overall situation the activities will be broadcasted mainly online - so stay tuned and check the concerts which are announced here on my website. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNPmH62v44zSD_Hdm2UtZ_w

Danke Dir für die schönen Worte liebe Andrea

Hey Roland, thats really nice to know. I honestly don't really check what other teachers are doing since I am too busy, so I am happy about any feedback. Yes I really paid attention to a perfect sound here. I have used the following settings in my AXE FX III device : Capt. Hook amp 2*12 cabinet Large spring reverb That would be the perfect and original amp setting for a real blues man

Hey Carloline, yeah the pentatonics are great to practice all the time by any time of the day. With the bendings it just takes some time till they work but once they work it's like riding a bike - it's easy. I will be curious for our next jam in the lessons B-)

Good that you try to play the rhythm guitar. It's really fun 🙂

Here you can learn the song " Santa Claus Is Coming To Town ". There are many versions of this song around. I have decided to make the jazz guitar version so this tutorial includes 3 parts now. First I will show you the melody which is really simple. In the 2nd part I show you the jazz chords which I created for you. Those ones are not so easy but quite simple and in the 3rd part I give you some tips and tricks on how you can make a solo to this wonderful tune.

Hey guys, I wanted to share more background information on the production of any jazz production. These are jazz guitar recordings in the near future and all jazz backing tracks since 2021. I want them to sound as authentic as possible so they are all using the original reverb setting of the center on the birdland café in New York to give it a really authentic vibe as sitting in that club. You can listen to this file here where I used that method :

Emotional Rock Guitar Balade - Gary Moore Style Here I play an original recording ( 1st take ) of an emotional rock instrumental. I wanted to share this video - even though it's not perfect because my philosophy is to catch the perfect moment for a song and I thought I caught the perfect moment for this recording here.

I have done quite some work in the background. Thanks to our member @medikon who gave me the right tips to make a proper SEO optimiziation. This will now hopefully drive more traffic here to the HPCrazy Guitar Academy and to let this community grow more. The more interaction here among the members the better. The exchange with other students is also an important part of the learning process on guitar. If you want to contribute something and you own a website you can also add a link here to the HPCrazy Guitar Academy or just share it to any guitar community you think would be interested. Thanks again for the help. 🙂

Next Tutorial will be a version of Santa Claus is coming to town - inspired by these guys. I love this one - but you can also check other version.

Also listen to this wonderful recording - the vocal solo is also very nice.
