Hey guys, I hear so often that people don't understand why the HPCrazy Guitar Academy does not have that big traffic as some guys out there think it would be worth. Well the truth is - there is a lot of competion out there in the net and there are companies, teams or groups who probably have more man-power then I do have. I am a one man company and I am doing everything myself - even this website. Well it's a CMS by invision power board but still I do all the maintainance, the promotion and the content creation including the production of the backing tracks myself. You probably now see the problem - I can not be everywhere - the main problem is that I don't have the …

In this club you find some free downloads for all members of the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. This is like a selection of files which I think are cool for you guys and also represent the vibe of the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. Some of the files might be a bit difficult for beginners or intermediate players but it's good to know that material like that exists and it might be an inspiration for some of you guys. On some things you might work for months or years. But thats the path of a true guitar lover who always wants to improve. As an example I am trying to play " Eugene's Trick Bag " since many years. Now after many years I think I get to the point where I can play it. Even…

Here you find my tips on how to avoid / treat guitar injuries. If you want to discuss your case please let me know to give you more detailed advice for my personal experience.

In HP's version of Snowy Whites Midnight blues. I have been working on the run he does at the :21 / 3:45 mark. I love that he doesn't provide a lot of tabs. It makes me better to work it out. But that lick has me baffled. I have worked and worked at it. I can't get it nailed down. can anyone provide me some tips/tabs for that run. I can't tell if he starts it with an open string or not. and its just fast enough that i can't hear every note. any help would be appreciated My email is ninjazx10r07@yahoo.com Thanks

These days I am dealing with some problems of injuries from too much computer and guitar work. It's not the first time and the problem is quite common when I look back to all my students from the last 30 years. One should always keep in mind that our body is not made for guitar playing and when you play a lot you get tension and pain in your muscle system and it often comes from your shoulders even when it hurts in your elbow or wrist. Doing regular exercises as shown in this older video is the key to avoid dropouts in playing because you have to pause. If you already run into problems and you have pain then you still can keep on playing but then focus on eartraining…

If you are a true guitar fan and a enthusiastic student of the HPCrazy Guitar Academy then you might want to have a t-shirt. Most of my live - students have at least one t-shirt at home. There are currently 2 different designs available. The old style logo and the modern logo. --------------

Hey guys, I just bought a 7 string guitar to expand my possibilities of sound and expression. I will soon make some video's or recordings with it. My question is would you guys be interested to follow the journey with the 7 string guitar yourself with your own 7 string guitar. I just ask here in the HPCrazy students club and not on YouTube anymore. It's about time that members of the HPCrazy Students Club get a benefit of being here and part of the community. Let me know what your thoughts are about the 7 string guitar - or maybe you have some other idea's to share.

Hey guys, would you be interested in several courses here in the HPCrazy Guitar Academy ? At the end of the course you would be able to pass the tests for the HPCrazy Guitar Academy Awards. https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/forum/84-student-awards/ As an example the Blues Intermediate Award : Tell me what you guys think about this.

Hey guys - somebody is currently claiming to be me by saying there are give-aways or even Dr. Pink for free. This is a scam. Please listen to this video to clarify. This is how the messages look like : Here my comment about this all :

2 days ago Steve Vai performed live as a guest musician together with Whitesnake. The guitar work of Steve Vai was great as always. But who finds the mistake in the video ?

Hey guys, there is a new version of guitar pro available. https://www.guitar-pro.com/c/10-guitar-pro-new-features In earlier tutorials I used to also add the guitar pro file for download. But at that time this service was not used so often. Maybe it has changed now. So I wonder if you guys would be interested that I add the guitar pro files again. I think guitar pro is in fact an awesome tool for practicing and I could offer a discount for all HPCrazy Guitar Academy students. https://www.guitar-pro.com/?pg=cart&CodeReduction=hpcrazy#ae163

Thanks again Hanspeter for listing www.abtguitars.com on your website under the links. For all those of you who don't know me yet: I am an enthusiastic user of the HP Crazy Guitar Academy. Over the last few years I have developed a guitar that I will produce in small series starting in 2023. The guitar combines the best thinking and ideas of the guitar world enhanced with some new innovations. Hanspeter tested my second prototype of the Capricorn. For more information visit my website.

Would you guys be interested in having the ability to go for awards on different levels by passing a test? The test would be a tutorial and if you can play what is teached in the tutorial in a test which I would monitor then you would get an award in the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. To do the test you would need to pay a small fee for my time - like 10US$ and possible level award would be : Intermediate Blues Guitar Player, Semi Pro Blues Guitar Player, Advanced Rock Guitar Player and so on and on. Tell me what you think about the idea. At the end the full HPCrazy Guitar Academy Diploma stands which would give you an award for a professional guitar player.

Hey guys, check out this 20 sec clip here. It's what you can learn in the current tutorial " swagger alternative rock guitar " . I really love this riff but somehow the tutorial is not so popular - maybe have a look at what you can learn. It's really easy to play and sounds great. Maybe the title of the tutorial was misleading.... https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxaG1lNRDv-NHOhAlWahqU9j3oFNa4dpTO

Finally I created 2 trailers for the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. The first one will appear before and during a premiere of any upcoming tutorial and the 2nd one before and during a livestreaming concert of the HPCrazy Guitar Night Premiere Trailer : Trailer HPCrazy Guitar Night :

I love your blues lessons. WOW ! Finally I found what I needed. Thank you so much for your great ideas and instructions ! Best regards, JD

How is your Forum working ? Is it a Forum where all members can ask/answer questions ? If there is no " real " Forum yet, would it be interesting to create one or ... is there too much work involved ? Plse advise. Many thanks, JD

Yngwie Malmsteen is giving an interview with a drink in his hand wearing sunglasses. I really adored what he did on guitar even I sometimes hoped that he could play a few long notes in his solo's - but what do you guys think about hits interview. What I can tell - when I was an instructor at guitartricks.com around 2006 we were the leading guitar platform worldwide and our instructors did a lot of tutorials of different artists and there songs. The only artist who ever complained and sewed guitartricks.com was in fact Yngwie Malmsteen.

I got so many mails and messages related to Dr. Pink and which model she is. ( yes is a " she " ) - thats the first point. And the reason why Dr. Pink sounds so good even for an Epiphone is that Dr. Pink is a very rare model from the Epiphone Elitist series from 2005 - 2007 which is not the same model as the Jay Jay French models which came later. I got Dr. Pink at the time where I was an official Gibson instructor and was teaching my Touch Technique on the website of gibson.com. They offered me to choose a guitar of my choice and I liked the color of Dr. Pink a lot and I choosed that guitar. 2 Weeks later I got her, sent directly from Nashville to my studio in Egg S…

Hey guys, happy new year to everybody. I have finally made a real workout on the private lessons system here on this website. Before it was a a little bit old fashion system on my website http://www.hpcrazy.com/private.html Now all is ready. You can select either private video download lessons where you get your own private password protected download page. This system is great if you want to rewatch your lessons over and over again. Or you can have private skype lessons where you can have a professional talk with me about your playing issues you want to solve. Those talks also can be recorded inside skype but the qualitiy is not the same and there we …
