Updates & new tutorials (Patreon)

Hey guys,

Hope you are well!

I've been very busy in the last 2 weeks, both with work and family.

I am currently on a full time "papa mode" with Shalev, my 3 year old son (mama is on a vacation in Egypt).

Shalev is the most joyful, cheerful soul I know. Despite his young age, he's a great communicator - we're having extensive conversations about all sorts of "vrachtwagens" (trucks, he's really into them), and he politely corrects me when I make grammar mistakes in Dutch (or put his pants upside down 🙈)

Spending time with him is a great reminder for me to take a deep breath once in a while and enjoy the simple things in life (very important!)

Ho'oponopono with Jennifer Ann

Last Sunday I joined Jennifer Ann & Morris Weijers for a cacao ceremony and a concert in Op Hodenpijl, a beautiful church here in the Netherlands.

As you know, I love Jennifer's music and energy. It was amazing to play together!

I attached to this post a short video from the concert, where I added some Spanish guitar touch to Jennifer's classic version of the song "Ho'oponopono".

(A few more videos are available on instagram)

"Master your craft" - Interview available on YouTube

Last week Amrit posted the interview he made with me, for the "Inspired evolution" online podcast.

We talked about music as medicine, opening up to more creativity, working with special needs kids and even fatherhood.

New electric guitar tutorial - "Als ze er niet is" by De Dijk

An electric guitar arrangement I made for Sjors, a student of mine, for the classic Dutch rock song "Als ze er niet is"

The tutorial includes tabs for the original version (played on acoustic guitar) and also for the bluesy arrangement I made on the electric, as well as a breakdown of the pedals I used.

Beginner tutorial - Flor Das Águas

I recently added a lyrics/chords chart for the classic santo daime song "Flor Das Águas".

A beautiful song and a perfect tutorial for beginner fingerpicking!
