Soon a new CD of mine will be released - It is meditation & healing music improvised on the piano. There are 7 colors on the CD and each piece is 10 minutes long so you have enough time to dive into the colors. This CD will be a first trance of therapy music, which in connection with my new project " star therapy " - a concept developed by me with astrological crisis management with the help of the therapy music developed by me ( color music / color music ) - this music is also integrated into the now monthly full moon livestreaming concerts. At each full moon or as now on the coming Wednesday lunar eclipse a current topic is implemented accordingly musically / therapeutically with the current star constellations - for the benefit of those who want to participate. This is my contribution to the currently changed normality - music has always been the language which I master best.

Guitar Secrets - Crazy Guitar ( Bass ) Tapping You want to learn the secret of crazy guitar tapping and even sound like a bass player ? Then this tutorial is for you. I show you how to work out a simple improvisation with the chords Am / G / F with a crazy tapping technique where you play the guitar like a piano player. This technique is called touch technique and was invented by Stanley Jordan but my version is a little bit different from his technique because I use a standard guitar tuning. In this tutorial I show you how to work out a rhythm guitar with your left hand and then how to start to improvise with your right hand and then how to develop a simple theme with this technique. The improvisation technique is similar to the technique of solo piano concerts which I also did many besides solo guitar concerts. Here I am not providing any tabs but if you have questions please write me here. 🙂

yes it does - from my experience you never get anything for free or if it's for free then it has a reason which reveals later. 🙂 Working on it to make it a great concert.

Yes thats an example - but this song will not be something for ethernity. Music where the time stands still is rare and only possible then - at least from my personal experience. From my believe and experience - illness is always a result from unbalance in life - also check the chinese medizin. I myself always healed myself mental in the past 20 years and when I went to a doctor ( on those rare occasions ) it never was of help to me. I will 🙂

Thanks for your thoughts - in fact to be completly independent means that you don't need to adapt to anybodies wishes or perceptions. How do we know if an artist which we know is truely independent and serves music and not the buisness ? Lets take Chris Rea as an example because I think thats a very good example. I always loved his songs which made him famous - but when he got cancer a few years ago he revealed that he never wanted to play that music which made him famous and it turned out that he is a blues man from his heart - going a way which was not his made him sick and he payed the price for it. When I compare it with my way I went - I got many offers in my career and I said " no " to nearly all of them or if I said yes I mostly regreted it. After a while I found out that I need to be completly honest with myself and go my way and somehow I also got the support I needed and it worked. Well I never got that famous as many people think I am regarding my musical abilities, but at the end of the day. What is art and music all about ? Music for sure is there to tough the heart of people but you can only do that if you yourself as an acting artist are in complete flow and emotional connected and looking back all songs, projects or ideas which worked out were exactly those. And they were effortless. At the end it's a question what is important in life and not in art - because art is life, it's everything together.

I have reordered the HPCrazy Guitar Academy and made all topics and departments of the Academy more visible. Also now the private Lessons section is featured with the Skype / Zoom Lessons and the Private Video Download lesson.

I was wondering which other possibilities you thought about but my conclusion is the one which developed over years being an independant artist. I always was one. 🙂 And yes it is also very important to be able to make fast and straight desicions and then go for it. Maybe later you find that it did not work out but most artists get stuck because they never finish something. But thats the point you need to be able to finish things and make your art visible for others. 1 out of 10 projects work.

The HPCrazy Students Club is the place where you can talk with others and share your thoughts and stories about guitar playing or life. It's up to you. So how do you write topics ? Hit the JOIN button and then go to the topics tab :

I have now renamed the " Students Club " Tab in the HPCrazy Students Club to " Topics " - thats more understandable for everybody now I think. Thats the place where all students can add there own topics which they like to share or to discuss.

I have been an independent artist all my life so I want to share a few thoughts about my life in general and what I learnt to show what it means to be an independent artist to give others an idea what such life is like. I think the focus is on the word independent which means you don't have any backbone or a net which can catch you when you fall. This gives music and the way you express music a different vibe and you see music and they way you work with music in a total different way. On of my principles in my work as an independent artist always was that you have to touch people's emotions with your art because then people see a value in your work and then they hire you, or want to talk or interact with you and if you work independant you need to accept that you might never be able to reach the very big stages because if you want to you need to have other skills, like networking, socializing and these normal business things. I always found that if I went too deep into that world I lost my abilities to create music which touches the soul of people and so I personally decided to go the other way but as a consequence you need to be better then the others to reach fans just by the quality of your art. This way is the harder way but maybe the more honest way and it serves music most and for me personally this was always first - to serve music and to reach the highest level of emotional musical expression and the life of an independent artist supports this.

I want to share a few thoughts I went through in the past weeks and months which led to a personal reset which has started in these days which in fact will alter my artist work a bit and probably make it more personal then it was before. I think the past 12 months were challenging for nearly everybody on this planet in many ways. I always said to my close people or those I spoke to that the Covid crisis brings people to what they really are. And so I thought about my upcoming path as an artist and musician also with this new situation that hit artists probably most. I know that I have been very successful as an online instructor in the past 15 years. I have been an instructor at gibson.com at guitartricks.com and now since 2013 on my HPCrazy Guitar Channel. But beside this guitar player and guitar instructor there was always a second person with another artistic expression. I am a very spiritual person who dedicated my whole life to music and ways of expressing emotions with music but I am also an educated astrologer and trained in spiritual exercises. That was always my source of inspiration but till 2020 I always kept it more or less secret because I wanted to be seen as a mainstream musician. I made many thoughts about this in 2020 and in Nov. 2020 I decided to put my knowledge of Farbmusik, of Astrology and spiritual exercises into a brand new psychological - musical concept to help people in situations of crisis. So I set up a new website http://www.sternentherapie.com and one week later I had my first client. It was my Sister Monika - she got bad news from her doctor and needed support. So I took the challenge even I could see in her astrological chart that it was a " Make it or break it " situation. At the end she did not make it, but she left our world in complete peace and I must say at the very end of her life she got to her full spiritual strength and recognition. And that's what it's all about. When she passed away I knew that this was a sign for me that I also should start this. The principle of Sternentherapie is very much connected to music. Beside the councelling with astrology you get your personal meditation music to work on your themes. When a client asks for that additional feature I improvise a song on piano related to a person's current situation. In my normal artist work I will now more include my full person and my full knowledge. Well it was always there but somehow I hid it behind pictures with no words or music with no words. This will change now. I said goodbye to the old mainstream musician I was, I will leave more or less my social media life on Facebook, Instagram and I will start to do Sternentherapie, Farbmusik and continue the HPCrazy Academy but will also bring more psychological aspects into it. And so this webpage here will be the center of my work in the future. So this my personal reset which I liked to share. If you also made a reset which you want to share please let us know in your personal profile. 🙂

Yes as I said it's just 5 km and in Summer I go there for Swimming 🙂 Maybe there is something in the water. 😄 But serious - Küsnacht is a place of rich and sophisticated people so maybe thats one of the reasons. I have my first customers who took readings with the music and they seem to love it. 🙂 I am doing astrology for many years but just besides music and now I just wrote a concept.

I didn't know C.G.Jung was living in Switzerland now I checked where exactly he lived and it's just 5 km from my place 😄 You can check google maps. I am in Egg ZH and he was in Küsnacht ZH. I launched a website about that concept which I developed in german in Nov. - my sister was my first client and she was in completly peace when she left. So we achieved what was the goal in her case. Now I am starting to spread the word a bit now and the response in very good till now. You can check http://www.sternentherapie.com

Hey Sara, now I took the time to listen to your arrangment and I must say I like the material you have choosen for it. Specialy the diminished arpeggio which you used. I love that one. Solo arangments always need a certain time till you are able to play it totaly fluent - even I have to really work out solo guitar arrangments for a while till they work. So just take your time and keep up the practicing - after a while make a break and work on something else for a few days and then come back to that one again - then suddenly it will work fluently... one day. But very nice and tasty 🙂

Thats in fact a plan - but I will do that on my farbmusik YouTube channel. I tried to bring up the topic on the HPCrazy channel a few times also with the meditation tutorials but somehow the topic was not so popular. I think with Astrology and the colors ( Farbmusik ) it will work out.
