Hey everyone!
I started to rest after yesterday's stream and just sort of dozed off, sorry for the late link post!

I have run into unusual issues with my audio setup for the stream, and have been trying to fix them for the past 1.5 hours. For some reason the same setup I’ve used for all these months has now decided to give up on me. I now need to find another way to do this..
Trust me it is beyond frustrating for me. And I’m really sorry for the delay.. the worst case scenario is that I’ll go live with not as good of a microphone, which still should be fine.

Someone requested for me to explain playing rasgueados, the technique which I use in nearly all of my tracks.. so I explained it.
See you on the stream!

The next exclusive Patreon stream will take place on Tuesday August 31st at 4:30pm Central European Time⚡️⚡️⚡️
Tuesday might not be the perfect day, but it's the only available time I have left in August 😅 since over the weekend I'm performing with an orchestra at a film music festival (will try to snap some behind-the-scenes for you guys :))
As usual remember that the time is as such to accommodate as many people as possible, considering we are rea...

Hey everyone,
The cold weather here caught me by surprise and I fell a bit sick for the past 2 days, hence no new video - I'm still a little under the weather (as probably visible), but here's a live playthrough of TCM with a bit of a breakdown at the end of the video.
The playthrough is fully acoustic, without any production - I thought that would be a cool thing to post since the original track is quite heavily produced. Performance starts at 1:18.
The second part of the v...

Hi y'all!
Back with the 2nd part of Paganini's Caprice no. 24 analysis.
This one is another monster - 40 minutes 😅
I go in and talk about the more advanced techniques (like the way I mute unnecessary strings with subtle movements, and positioning of the left hand), so it does get pretty nerdy.
As usual this is more of an in depth look, not a tutorial, hope you enjoy!

PS: Check out the poll I made recently and make sure to vote!
Hey everyone! I'm uploading the analysis of Paganini 24 to Patreon now, and as I'm doing that I thought of asking everyone what you personally as a patron want to see more of on this platform.
I treat the monthly livestream as the main event here, but everything else (like tabs, behind the scenes, analysis) is content that I really want to improve for y'all!
So let me know which of these is something you want to see more of!
You can choose multiple optio...
Here's the starting point of editing + production of my upcoming arrangement. This one's gonna get a ton of layers and some interesting production, basically Moonlight Sonata on steroids 😈 23 tracks into 3 microphones (so 72 tracks).
Plus 2 of those 3 mics (not one like I said on the video) are actually composites of 2 stereo mics so it's more like 5 microphones 😂
Gonna be fun!
2nd part of Paganini analysis is coming, sorry for the delay!
I tabbed out my latest short clip - Autumn Leaves ☺️✌️

Tabs attached. Enjoy!

The upcoming single music video is all finished and ready to meet you all..
Coming next week.
The inspiration for this track came from Albert Camus' essay "The Myth of Sisyphus".
Here's some patreon-exclusive stills from the video to whet your appetite.

Hey guys,
I was not planning on posting this for everyone (and it's not really one of the real posts) - one of you sent over your performance of Baba Yaga, and asked some great questions about how to perform this track rhythmically, and feel the pulse. So I shot this video for the patron, but then I got 2 other very similar requests, so I thought I'd just make this video public.
I imagine this will be helpful for a few of you, but again this isn't...

Hey guys,
After a tiny video-hiatus I'm back with the analysis for Caprice no. 24, as requested by a few of you.
This one's super technical, so it becomes quite lengthy as I try to explain some details - that's why I split it into two parts (2nd one will come later).
Sorry that I'm a bit rusty here, gotta get back in form after the vacation 😅 Enjoy!
(PS: I will write the tabs to La Campanella soon, as promised on IG)

I got a few requests to tab this tapping part of the Giant Steps solo. It's a major part of this video: https://www.instagram.com/p/CK4O9hPFNE6/
It's also probably the most difficult tapping part I ever arranged, so good luck to anyone who attempts to learn this ✌️ The PDF and Guitar Pro tabs are attached.

That turned out to be the longest stream so far, but also probably the coolest one for me 🙏
That’s to everyone that popped up, even for only some time 😇 Hope you had fun, see you in a month!

People have been asking me about shooting videos since I can remember, and this time around I finally remembered (and had time) to shoot some behind the scenes footage, pics, etc. So enjoy this description of how we recorded my upcoming single!
In the first chunk of the video I talk about the 2 days we spent recording this exact video, and towards the end I mention the logistics and practical side of how we do it 😎 If that interest's you guys at all :)
See you soon!

Yo, yo, yoo! I'm happy to announce that the July livestream will take place next week -
on Friday July 30 at 5pm CET. As per usual the stream will be on Zoom, and the invite will be up here a bit prior. Note the CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME timezone, and the fact that we are scattered throughout the world so the timing can't really be ideal for everyone (unfortunately).
I'll probably focus a bit more on playing this time, with a tiny bit different set up ✌️
Hi all,
Yesterday I was feeling a bit sentimental and recorded this video where I basically talked about what it's like trying to build a career doing something very unknown, and in an online era.
Essentially, I just rambled on for 20 minutes about what I felt like were the important aspects of this sort of work. Excuse me if the video comes off as a bit random, or if it feels like patting myself on the back or even me being arrogant - again, I just sort of talked about what I wan...

What's up guys,
Here's an analysis of Kashmir, as requested by a few of you. I focused mostly on the mistakes I see a lot of people make while covering this track ;)
Tabs are also on Patreon, in an older post.
Enjoy!

Hey guys,
I wanted to share this tab for a pretty advanced exercise I play very often. I don't think I have a full video of me playing it (it was on my IG stories a few days back), but I also played it on the recent stream. I might make one soon.
Anyways, the downward arpeggios are especially killer here - this post is basically for all of you who really want to dig in into these techniques :) The zip file is attached

Hey y'all,
It's turning out to be a really busy month for me, sorry that I haven't written back to some of you still in the DMs, I'll make sure to do that soon ;))
Check out this playthrough and tutorial of the new walking bass part I did for my FMTTM arrangement.

Here's my analysis of Fly Me To The Moon (the short arrangement I did some time ago).
I tried to get it up yesterday but my internet was acting up, and later I spent the whole day in a studio so I wasn't able to get it posted still in June.
Anyways, hope you enjoy this one - let me know what you'd like to see next (not necessarily an analysis).
The tabs to this track are available in some older post.

Since you guys seem to be enjoying these behind the scenes looks I thought I'd share how I got into each of the 3 talent shows I took part in, as these stories might not be what you'd expect. Enjoy!
I'll also post a Fly Me To The Moon analysis soon (before June ends for me).

This month's exclusive Patreon livestream will take place this Friday June 25th at 4:30pm CET 🤍
Please not the central european timezone! This is the same timing as last month, which seemed to work very well. As a usual reminder please keep in mind that we are scattered all over the world, from Australia to California, so this timing is essentially the best compromise.

I thought to shoot this 15 min video where I show the more unusual techniques that I use (meaning the unusual among the less unusual ones I use all the time).
Stuff like:
-low 6th string growling
-harmonic tapping
-9th,4th,3rd etc. frets harmonics
-neck bend (not too unusual)

Despite the slow tempo some of these sections are monsters in terms of stretches.. good luck ⚡️
