Hm... now it works with one click.... Vorführeffekt.

So what 🙃😛

I know - i noticed that issue as well. Just ignore it. I guess it will be fixed within the next few updates. The message gets posted - just the page does not proceed properly.

It should work on a normal PC - todays PC's are fast enough for audio recording software. All you need is an audio interface.

You can practice guitar without amp - i sometimes do that.

...and yes the world is in a critical condition....

Hi HP..

Shure I practice without an amp very often and I like it. Shure I have a good focusrite interface and a pc that works. It's all relative... with sound, crackles, and feeling...

Cool setup you have at home. You can work with that - and of course with tutorial of the HPCrazy Guitar Academy 😄 - i noticed 😄

😊😁🙏

glad to have you back 🙂

1.Thank you HP - there are some people in my life - who don't want me back 😂

2.With my guitar playing and learnig there are still big ups and downs - but I never give up to get where I really want.

3a. I look forward to make a Video with a backingtrack of some of your lessons - the ....next time.

3b. Still following my own path of music - therefore I spent much time with working on this - to satisfy my soul

 I think you understand 🙂

Yeah really cool and grooving 😊😀

Singing the notes you play is in fact THE key to a creative flow in improvisation !

Yes I realized  the playing is more intuitive - thinking can be less (only if wanted/needed) and I play melodies I never reached before. zB. with more chromatic notes.

That sounds like a serious plan. Sounds very good to me.

That's cool - always good to have a strat. I started on a Fender Strat. 🙂

I see you haver your first awards here - it's a cool feature isn't it ? 😄

It's all about skills 😃

Good old Status Quo 😄 and I see you earned your first awards here 😄

BTW : I grew up in Jamaika the home of Reggae 🙂

Ich wollte immernoch dein Radiointerview hören, was du hiermal gepostet hattest - was da bei bei Dir wohl noch alles zu Tage kommt? 😁  Ich dachte die haben dort alle Dreadlocks 🤣 - du aber nich.

Interessantes Leben 👍

Ja das Radio Interview lohnt sich noch, wenn man mehr hinter die Kulissen schauen möchte. Ja in Jamaika gibt es viele Rastafaris ( die mit den Dreadlocks ) aber auch andere.

Good old Frank Zappa 😄

Yeah 😄

Cool - the singer looks a bit like Lemmy 😄

Life is hard and then you die....Johnny Winter 😁 😂

Ja es ist etwas schwer die Leute zu bewegen teilzunehmen. Ich weiss das noch aus den Zeiten bei Guitartricks.com - wir hatten 1 Million Abonnenten aber im Forum lief nicht so viel. Trotzdem finde ich den Austausch hier wichtig.

Ja.... du  kannst es  den Leuten nur anbieten. 😐

Genau 🙂

😊

Very true friend! 

I have been lately seeing the solo within the rhythm 🙂

CU Later 😃

Thats the right attitude 😄

Be Blue

Good question 😄

no kidding ? You had a real lightning storm ? Wow and that in Feb.... thats not normal...🌩️

Im Ruhrgebiet ist das denke ich nicht ungewöhnlich Gewitter zu haben.

Ich halte das aber nicht nach - unsere Gewitter nach Jahrezeiten.

Ja hier in der Schweiz  auch nicht -  aber anfangs Feb.

Hey, so are you learning some new songs?

HI MIchael...

Im play themes or some vamps from here and there ...--> into the looper and find my ways to solo and have fun. If I try to hard to play exercises -  I loose my own ways. I listen what comes out of my playing and go on that way, BUT I keep in mind - what I have learned here... and get better over time...

HPs work has given me much input, but for me I can grow on 2-3 themes for long time.

In the last years and during this corona wahnsinn, I have been in politics in my head and more & more unable to be in a steady good mood - to do music as usual.

Life and my mind is changing constantly and I am happy to have the guitar by my side and I will play on without pain in my shoulders if I do my gym and dont take everything too serious.

On the other side I like to check out gear, pickups, do some DIY, listen to music.

I had the new NUX MG 300 here for 4 days but sent it back. It is very good for the money, but I prefer my 5Watt Tube Amp because of the feel & dynamics.

I'll keep on picking & learnig but not so hard 😄

If I make a little plan with some regulary exercises and study ca. 3 new Jazzstandards and some "styles" about the next year it will be fine.

I dont have to make a music race, although I like Trash Metal & Hardcore (sometimes). But this fast music does not come out of myself. If I would study all things I like I would need some more lifetimes. So... its always a compromise.

I am no professional musician - so ... I will begin to take it more easy now - Im 53years and will stay healthy. I did enough songs - and so ..the new morning brings a new song - I will play it and maby forget it again later 😁.

Michael ...I stop writing now. Sorry my english is just from school.

Keep on rocking ....or what do you do Michael ?

Hello, I do appreciate your letter here. I do have a return letter for you. I just want it to make sense before I send it to you  

Thanks guitarfriends - Got more problems with my shoulders - what hinders me to play as I would like to.

I know I have to reduce time with my instrument. Thats not what I really want - so Im not very motivated and see me in a "little" conflict.

I observe this problem for some years now.

Thats not serious for life. I can play for hobby and thats ok. I will take some playin tips from HPs lessons and be fine - without too much aspiration.

greets Andrea

Hey Andrea, I am sorry to hear that. Maybe check this video here for medical advice

Thanks HP -  I will give it a try and integrate it in the morning gym!

LG ANdrea

Thank you friend!

Greetings friend!

Hello Michael ?
