Hey Kris, I used to watch you back in high school when I was first learning to play guitar. I spent hours on Curious Coincidence, trying to nail it. Just wanted to say you've always been part of my guitar journey with your unique blend of technical skill, sincerity, and humor. The world and the economy are at a strange place, and people are feeling isolated and disconnected. I hope that you, and all of us, can find the peace and courage of soul that these times require.
You're a very cool dude. I watched your videos for ages now (from 2009 i think). The vibe you give off is very honest and positive. Just do what makes you feel happy. You made us happy so much troughout the years. From silly joke songs to serious lessions.
Subscribed since 2008. Why your channel hasn't skyrocketed is a mystery to me. You're talented gitarero 😊, you're funny, witty, you're a good teacher. Seeing number of views on your videos makes me sad - they deserve so much more. I've always liked your lengthy videos where you talk - you're good at formulating your thoughts and your English is good. I wish all the best for you and your family. And just know that somewhere in Russia someone thinks about you sometimes (I really do). With warmth and respect.
If my memory serves me well, some 13 or 14 years ago I asked you to share the backing track of Mittwoch 😂 Can I repeat my humble request one more time?

Kristofer, if it wasn't for me stumbling upon your lessons in the early 2000's I wouldn't be where I am today. Your first masterclass and the "curious coincidence" solo lessons shaped me into the guitar player that I am today.... I tell everyone learning guitar to look you up. Excited to hear your next musical projects whether it's lessons or songs or anything! Be well amigo!
Yes! Putting feelings into words can be tremendously beneficial for both you and us. Please keep doing it! You've been inspiring us for a loong long time and I hope you can feel the love! All the best wishes all the way from Argentina.
I discovered you at the time of the "curious coïncidence" solo, you helped the a lot at this time when i was starting alone! I hope to continue to see you still a long time with the same enthusiasm for the guitar, Now I see your video from time to time and its like seeing a old friend in a weird way 😅 I wish you the best in finding the balance in your life, so challenging these days. Cheers
Hi Kris! I've been following you ever since you did those lessons in UG... god, must have been a lifetime ago. You're one of the best to ever do it, keep your head up!
Hey Kristofer. You are one of a few guitarist, who inspired me to start playing guitar. Just dont let yourself go down! All that "outside" stuff seems to be like a challenge, that we have to face and grow with.
been here since UG, since the 'things to play when you suck', curious coincidence, steve vai style solo, all that good stuff. you were such a huge influence on my playing and i just wanna say bless you dude and much love. i legit can't thank you enough for the enthusiasm you imparted to me almost like what 20 years ago now? crazy how it's been so long. now i'm almost 30 and how time has flown. you made me want a parker fly for like years thanks to your early vids hahaha. it's just the little things. i saw another comment here mention dialup and i wanna add myself to the dialup gang, looking up tabs and trying to stream your videos thru that was a hell of a time. thank you for being you Kris
Oh man, I still remember hearing your "Brutal Bump" when it released and that video motivated me a lot. I learned a ton through you and through GMC and I'm very grateful for all of that. Can't say my playing is where I want it to be but... that's another problem :p Take care of yourself, and I'm glad you're taking steps toward hapiness!
Cheers, Kristofer! Glad you decided to post this video. I think there are phases and then some more phases we all go through. I think the most important thing is to not stop playing and recording. Your vids have turned into quite a legacy. Glad to see you have the guitar from the first ones you posted on youtube. I still remember "Things to play when you suck" and the "bad maddafinger" :)). So funny, dude - awesome way to teach! You've been a big influence on me and my guitarin' shenanigans. I wish you all the best!
Hey Kris, I've been a BIG fan since my early days of playing. Roughly about 20 years ago. You have had a tremendous impact on my guitar playing journey and have been one of my earliest inspirations. I found your videos at the right time in my journey and that was exactly what I needed at that time. You will definitely come out of it and shine like nobody ever has. I am so glad I got to share this moment with you. God bless you and your family!
My brother from another mother, Your amazing! Very talented guitarist. I have been following you for years (since the shred lives!). I have learned much from you. We had our lesson yesterday. Your a great teacher and I appreciate you so much. You give me inspiration. Life has its ups and downs and i understand fully what you said in this video. Focus on what is best for you and all shall fall in place! I deff want to do another lesson in the future! You are a big part of my guitar journey and im glad we crossed paths in the social media world. I love what you do so please keep doing it! Even though we are far I consider you a friend!!! Cheers mate!!!! Kristopher David Heerdt (Krock)🤘 🎸🎶🎵🎶
Dude, like so many other people, your video on UG had big impact on me. The first time I saw a dude in shades and playing a Parker guitar and it was the coolest thing. I still remember the harmonic minor licks, kirk hammett licks and slash's licks you taught us back in the days. Learned so much from GMC as well. Marcus Lavendell, Muris Varajic, Marcus Siepen, Ivan Mihajevic, Ivan Zecic...I remember those legends. I can definitely relate to your feeling. I have not been inspired to play the guitar for a while now, and I just realized it has been years. Keep on playing the guitar my brother. Hope it continues to give you joy and excitement just like it did when first picked it up. It was the sweetest thing for me. Nothing ever came close.
First saw you on Ultimate Guitar lessons in what feels like a long time ago, in a galaxy far away. I've always employed the tricks you taught me in Curious Coincidence, and your other songs after that! (I still listen to A Loner all the time! And marvel at your dancing!) Best wishes going forward! Can't wait to hear the new music!
Been here since Red shot (13 years ago??) been stuck in a rut due to real life drama for the last 2 years and only recently have i been getting back into excercise and writing music again. i always light up when you post anything really, you've been a major inspiration since the very start of my guitar playing
thanx Kristofer for very good+honest words! we here just always thought that you are always „superman“ (on guitar) 🎸. good to see the human side. i had my biggest life struggle during horrible yesrs 2003-2012, hmm but quite suddenly my life got UP 🆙 again 🎉
Ville bara säga att det enda som är konstant är förändring och det gäller att anpassa sig efter det, se framåt och njut av allt det du kan göra . Man kan inte påverka det som har hänt bara det som kommer till en viss del. Har varit med länge på din kanal och har många favoriter med dina videor. Tack för att du delar med dig .
Hey K, I just want you to know that Curious Coincidence was a game changer for me. It's been a decade and I'm still chasing that tone and that phrasing.
First of all kriss is Kool. I like this type of videos. I'm from Argentina Buenos Aires and economy here is a bad storm usually. But when everything goes to hell is important keep safe family and priorities. Music amd guitar be always there. World goes crazy but guys like you bring to us lessons and laughs. Old videos are crazy and super funny. Send you a big hug from here and hope you find the way to get better on every life level. Sorry for bad English 😂
Use your situation for creativity. Sorry that your situation isnt the greatest. Im a big fan of yours as many many others. Hope it turns around for you.
