Hey Kevin, yes rhythm and timing is very important. It makes 50% of the musicical expression. I am planing to do specific lessons just on rhythm to work this out. I had it on my mind quite a while but forgot it over the x-mas time. Good that you remind me about that. 🙂

Easy Creative Rock Guitar Here I give you the proper instruction on how to play a very solid and professional sounding rock lead guitar. I am working with the concept of “ The power of 3 “ and “ Make some noise “ which are explained further in this guitar tutorial. The bendings are the most important tool to play rock guitar, next would be the pinch harmonics and then palm muted technique. I show you licks and ideas for all those techniques and how to work with the noisy distorted sound. What I show you in this tutorial is probably the most easy way to sound professional in this genre.

He was - but his playing really has a recognizable style. I really love it. Yes it's a classic thing also the lead guitar - but still it has some magic in it. 🙂

Hey Sara, glad you loved the backing track. I also never tried that combination of the fingers but it gives an interesting sound and and interesting other approach to sound with finger picking. I might also want to check out Johnny Guitar Watson. He has a similar very special sound which reminds me a bit of this. The rakes are really a cool way of expression and a great add to lead guitar. Kind of a Sweeping - Light technique.

Piano Meditation - Neujahres Konzert 2021 / New Years Concert 2021 This is the new years concert which i mostly improvised to all spectrals colors. It's a tradition of mine to make a new years concert every year in my little church in Seegräben in Switzerland. https://www.kirche-seegraeben.ch/ Many years ago I lived in Seegräben which is a small pitoresk little village at the border of the Pfäffikersee. This was a time which I made a lot of progress in spititual music composing. What is spiritual music composing ? It's a way of meditativ being and living and waiting for moments where music appears. The principle is that music always has been there and you just need to open up to hear it. This way I dreamt about music and in the morning I had a finished piece of music in mind which I recorded or put into my repertoire of I don't know maybe over 1000 pieces of music which I composed till now. I was sitting many times in this little church in Seegräben alone in the dark - and there was a piano. The piano is an old but organic instrument - slightly out of tune but it was always a deeply inspired spiritual experience with intuition, music and colors. The goal of Farbmusik was to create a music which can heal people and thats how it came. Thats the reason I go back to this church every year to make my Neujahres Konzert over many years. This year it was not possible due to the corona crisis. The concert was cancelled 2 weeks before it could take place and so I decided to do the concert as a livestream. And here it is 🙂 If you love the concert - please make a donation of your choice. In my little church I always worked like and so it shall stay this principle. If people love the music then they are willing to give something back what they got from the music. http://www.farbmusik.com/spende.html

yes somehow it's easier because you have a better visual understanding.

The download link is in the first post of this thread - but you need to make the premium membership upgrade to download it.

Thats a good video to understand modes better. I come from the piano and I must say it is in fact easier to understand modes on the piano. At least for me - but you guess check out this video if you have dificulties to understand modes.... 🙂

Smooth Minor Jazz Guitar - Advanced Lesson When it comes to smooth jazz in minor keys we are often pretty close to the concept of a minor blues. In this tutorial I talk about advanced improvisation concepts for a simple smooth jazz guitar progression in the key of A minor. Beside the easy way of just playing the A minor pentatonic or the A blues scale over this progression I show you concepts of advanced improvisation by using the different modes for each chord and by working with concepts of modal interchange and upper structure triad. Here is now the progression with which I work in this tutorial : Am7 / Am7 / Am7 / Am7 / Am7 / Am7 / Am7 / Am7 A alt Dm7 / Dm7 / Am7 / Am7 / E7alt / Dm7 /Am7 / Am7 / The modes which can be used are displayed here : Am7 : A minor pentatonic A blues scale A aeolian A Dorian A7alt: A minor pentatonic A blues scale A altered Dm7 : A minor pentatonic A blues scale D dorian E7alt: A minor pentatonic A blues scale E altered Minor Smooth Jazz Guitar - Advanced.pdf Minor Smooth Jazz Guitar - Advanced.gp minor smooth jazz guitar - advanced.mp3
