HPCrazy Guitar Academy The HPCrazy Online Guitar Academy is a complete online education system for guitarists. At first there is the HPCrazy YouTube Channel. This channel is basically a free guitar academy for all interested guitarists worldwide. The idea of this guitar academy originates from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne a few years ago, where high quality learning content is made available free of charge to everyone on the net and anyone who wants to delve deeper into the subject matter can then integrate themselves into the educational system. So joining the HPCrazy Guitar Academy with a Premium Membership is the first step to expand the educational offer. The free guitar tutorials are designed in such a way that learning success can be achieved even with the free content. Whoever wants to purchase the respective teaching material must purchase the Premium Membership. The Premium Membership also includes the other music downloads on the webpage. This serves as additional inspiration and motivation. If you want to go one step further, you can get private guitar lessons or private online guitar lessons. For those who want to fully immerse themselves in guitar playing, a part-time guitar study program can be started. Categories The following categories are available in the HPCrazy Guitar Academy : Blues - The Blues Guitar Tutorials are designed to learn the basics of blues, blues improvisation, theory and basic improvisation concepts with the so-called question-answer concept. Beside these basic concepts, more complex blues forms are shown, playing styles of well-known blues guitarists are analyzed, or simply different Blueslicks are shown, with which you can quickly achieve a great professional sounding success with simple means. The tutorials marked with Masterclass are for advanced guitarists. Rock - In the Rock Guitar Tutorials all important techniques of this genre are shown. It starts with the so-called power chords, the commonly used chords of the rock guitar. The rhythm guitar in rock is relatively simple, because the power chords are relatively easy to grap, but nevertheless the rhythm is very important and is trained accordingly. A timing accurate rhythm guitar is the foundation of every rock band. Lead guitar is technically very demanding and has to be trained accordingly. Various exercises on timing and synchronization techniques are important parts of the lead guitar and are completed with an appropriate lick library. The tutorials which are marked as Guitar Masterclass are intended for the very advanced guitarists and serve as motivation and inspiration for the others. Jazz - The jazz guitar is by far the most complicated music form. In this genre a preoccupation with music theory harmony and rhythm is inevitable. The study of modes, chord progression, syncopation, improvisation concepts and various blues and musical forms are the center of the training on the jazz guitar. In jazz, improvisation concepts are very sophisticated and complex. The demands on guitar technique are very high and require special training. With the different protagonists of jazz are just as important as the so-called transcriptions of various solos by jazz musicians. In the tutorials these demands are met. Funk - The Funk guitar is primarily a rhythm guitar. A preoccupation with rhythmics is the center of training for the funk guitar. The basic forms of the so-called 16th rhythmics are learned and implemented on the guitar. Different chord licks, single note lines, tricks and other genre typical aspects of this guitar are shown in the tutorials. Covers - In the cover tutorials known pieces are analyzed and the most important parts of the pieces are shown on the guitar. In some cases arrangements are also shown, which others are based on the melody of a well-known piece. Acoustic - In the Acoustic Tutorials different aspects of the acoustic guitar are shown. This includes the genres of Flamenco Jazz, Rumba, any other form of Latin American guitar techniques, accompaniments, singer songwriters, blues on the steel-string guitar and much more. Artist Studies - In the Artists Studies, playing techniques, pieces or typical playing styles of well-known guitarists are analysed and shown. In particular, simplified aspects of well-known guitarists are also shown that these protagonists are often top-class guitarists. Only in the Guitar Masterclasses are the playing techniques and details of these players discussed. Guitar Meditation - In the Guitar Meditation Tutorials you can learn how to play the guitar and meditation techniques I have developed. The focus is on simple melody and chord sequences which have a repetitive character and are therefore suitable to get into a meditative state while playing. The basis of the Guitar Meditation Technique lies in the so-called Farbmusik. Farbmusik is a form of music developed by me which works with visualisation techniques, breathing techniques and meditative improvisation techniques. These are shown in the Meditation Guitar. Guitar Techniques - In the Guitar Techniques different guitar techniques are shown. These are the typical playing techniques, which are looked at in detail and perfected. It can be the playing techniques, working with guitar effects, rhythm exercises or other aspects of the purely technical implementation of guitar playing. Classic & Filmmusic - In classical music and film music, small classical-looking etudes are shown or arrangements of classical pieces are presented. There are also simplified arrangements of well-known film music pieces or pieces that would work as film music. Credits 1999 - 2005 : Various mandates in Swiss Universities of Music - ACM ( today ZKdK ) and WIAM. I supervised up to 30 students per week who wanted to become professional musicians. Various guest mandates and lectures in guitar workshops in other music schools. 2005 Lecturer and representative of the SMPV at the D-A-CH Symposium in Germany. Lectures on music lessons and internet. Concepts and experience reports. SMPV ( Swiss Music Pedagogical Association ) Accreditation ( authorization ) 1999 - 2007 for private university education and SMPV consulting and teaching activities. The accreditation was an authorization to train private students to become professional musicians. Featured online instuctor at guitartricks.com ( 2006 - 2012 ), featured online instructor at Gibson.com ( 2007 ) and support of over 80000 students online. During this time I gained a lot of experience in optimizing learning content for a general worldwide audience. Feedback, statistics and experience reports from that time are the basis of the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. At the same time, I ran the Gitarrenforum.eu - a leading online portal in Europe at that time for guitar and guitar lessons. Starting in 2013, management of a successful guitar channel on YouTube under the name HPCrazy with currently over 27000 subscribers, over 100000 visitors / month and over 600000 viewed minutes / month. ( Feb 2020 ) Playing Level The general tutorials are designed for the slightly advanced guitarist / guitarist. The tutorials marked with " Guitar Masterclass " are for advanced to semi-professional guitarists and can serve as inspiration for other guitarists. For beginners and slightly advanced guitarists there is a playlist on YouTube - Beginners & Easy Lessons. These tutorials can also be found in the Academy but are not specially marked there. The tutorials are designed in a way that all questions are already answered, but if you are stuck in a tutorial, you have the possibility to get a private lesson or to buy a support ticket. Free Membership The free membership is also worthwhile, because a community of people interested in guitars is created here, where you can directly exchange ideas with others about the free tutorials. Especially in times of Big - Data it makes sense to use alternative platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and co. The data collected in the Academy will not be used at all. There is very rarely a newsletter, but you can activate it or not. The HPCrazy Guitar Nights are also organized and coordinated in the community. At the Guitar Nights students can take an active role and play along. All student activities can be organised in the HPCrazy Students Club. Members can also start contributions there. My Experience From 2003 to 2006 I managed the Gitarrenforum.eu, built up an online guitar school and at the same time built up and wrote the English equivalent on HPCrazy.com. At that time I had a lot of traffic, many students, many visitors and therefore I was able to build up a great wealth of experience. In 2006 I got a mandate at GuitarTricks.com, at that time the biggest portal worldwide about learning guitar and guitar. At that time we had all user base of 1.5 million subscribers and I was always in the top 4 of the so-called featured instructors on this web portal from 2006 to 2012. 2007 cooperation with Gibson and there I was used as advertising medium for Guitartricks.com. Because of my great popularity at that time, strategic decisions of Guitartricks.com were also discussed directly with me. During this time I have gained a lot of experience in running a general betting portal for a large number of students and providing them with content. I learned what users want, what serves them in the game, and how to pass on learning content to a broad mass of people. This knowledge has now been incorporated into my own guitar academy, the HPCrazy Guitar Academy, and is now available on the YouTube channel and the guitar academy presented here.
