IMPORTANT UPDATE / VIP Club

Added 2020-07-27 13:01:03 +0000 UTC

Hello Patreon family, I hope you all have a great start into the week today :)

First of all, I'd like to THANK YOU for the amazing support over the last couple of months. As you might have noticed, life has changed dramatically for all full-time musicians as concerts/tours/festivals and most other projects have been canceled due to COVID-19 and are most likely not to return until 2022. Most venues are overbooked next year (everybody wants to get back out there) and most agencies still see tours/festivals as we know them as unrealistic in 2021. Most of us basically lost our job overnight and I also had to restructure my life and priorities (that's why I sadly can't give Skype lessons for a while, time management got much more complicated).

Without you all, it would have been impossible to keep the lesson uploads coming (especially in this quality and with this kind of effort behind them) and we grew from 100 to 800 members in just a couple of months! This means the world to me and I'm so excited to keep going, we barely scratched the surface and there's so much more we have to work on and to improve!

With all that said, it does get difficult to reply to every message and email since there are also a lot of new students in '10 Steps to Modern Shredding' and 'Sweep Picking Masterclass' - that's why I decided to offer the option to join the Patreon VIP Club. This secret Facebook group allows us to easily upload videos or any other kind of files (no more complicated uploads/downloads via WeTransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive,...) and I can focus on giving feedback and personal coaching on your technique/music/progress all in one place! This also gives me the possibility to record Q&A videos to answer your most important personal questions. So I can continue to put a big focus on personal interaction and problem/frustration-solving in a form that allows me to schedule my time a bit more freely! Also, you guys and girls can finally really interact with each other and exchange ideas/questions/discussions since Patreon is not really built for that :)

My biggest goal is to keep the QUALITY of the coaching and feedback high and to create a real community, I don't want to copy and paste answers or give unhelpful one-liner responses. So this is the best place for you if you're here for the personal interaction with me - of course, this is not about taking something away from all members that are just here for the tabs, video-playalongs, backing tracks, and PDF files, all that stays the same :) I also added a free exclusive shirt to this membership (I'm paying for the print and shipping), it will be sent out after 3 months and this design is only available on here!

Again, thank you so much for being part of this and for your incredible support, and thanks for taking the time to read this! You guys and girls really mean a lot to me. Now it's time to get back to working on more exciting lesson material, I will see you very soon - take care and please stay safe/healthy!
