Great News Hanspeter!! 🎸❤️👍

The next guitar night is coming on July 4th - there is a new thumbnail now. I have decided to combine Farbmusik with the HPCrazy Guitar Nights and therefore I use the concert guitar of Farbmusik " Mrs Blue " for the guitar nights. I can tell that Mrs Blue really sounds extraordinary - I can not even tell how extraordinary. So the new thumbnail for the upcoming guitar nights is this one here :

There have been several requests to get the tabs of the tutorials as Guitar Pro Files. I use this software with all my live students because it is extremly useful for learning because you can listen how the tabs sound, you can slow down the speed or you can loop a specific section where you are working on. I STRONGLY recommend to use this software for learning guitar. There are 2 versions available. The full software or the app. To learn it is enough to just get the app since the playback featured I mentioned above are functional in the app too. If you want to get the software or the app at a reduced price you can use this link here : GET YOUR GUITAR PRO SOFTWARE Workflow : From now on all tutorials come again with the Guitar Pro Files for download. There are so many tutorials where I have a Guitar Pro File stored but not added in the download section. So here is how we can proceed :

Some Strategic Changes : After doing a lot of updates and strategic planing together with AI and now finished with the new strategy now which now complete the efforts I have started to doing pulling all traffic on this one website here. A major task was to strenghen the 2 brands I am running which is HPCrazy and Farbmusik ( music related to colors ). One of the problems which occured now in the past months was that the core generator of traffic was the HPCrazy YT channel which got weakened by the shift to HanspeterKruesi.com . So I needed to pull back to redirecting the traffic over the landing pages on https://www.hpcrazy.com/club.html to this website also because in the highly competitiv market on YT it has become really hard to create traffic with generic topics like " blues guitar improvisation " or similar. So the core will be more the artistic approach which will be featured now over the https://www.hpcrazy.com/guitar-nights.html and which I will do now regulary as a livestream once a month. High quality content with an artistic approach shall help to get a position in the gaining high competive field. Beside that I did a strategic planing of my local german website gitarrist.ch and there the traffic also gets redirected to this website. For farbmusik I also redesigned the website farbmusik.com which also has an english version now https://www.farbmusik.com/eng and there is sternentherapie.com which redirects the traffic here for the fans of meditation music and last but not least pianist.ch redirects the traffic here for the fans of pianomusic. Next Guitar Night on July 4th : Music For Synch : I have started to pitch my music again for synch. I made a break of 15 years since I was last active. You can follow my pitching here : These were about the most important news but there was also a lot of work going on behind the scenes which was mostly updating my professional workflows in SEO, in music production, in social media strategy and setting up my live performances. I think I will now take a few days off in summer since I have been working 24/7 since many months and I feel a bit tired. During summer there will be no Farbmusik livestreams and I canceled the new moon concerts in Urdorf and will restart in September again. The Farbmusik concerts in the small church in Seegräben Switzerland will take place but without livestream. 10th July 2025 - 20:00 9th August 2025 - 20:00 If you love the work I am doing please support it with an on-going premium membership or a donation. Times are not too easy for independant artists but I am somebody who always takes the challenge and does not complain. https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/subscriptions/ Thanks for your support HP

Now I played my first guitar night with this guitar so now I can tell how this guitar feels and sounds in the situation of playing. First of all. I thought the price of 12K was a bit the high collector price that they would have something which is really unique and expensive because nobody would be willing to pay such a high price for a new guitar which does not have the history of a Fender or Gibson from the early years. Of course the looks of the guitar is a piece of art. One can love it or somebody else would not like it. But is the sound also worth the really high price ? After the concert I must say - YES. This guitar is worth every cent payed. It is able to display even the smallest detail of playing and playing technique and giving the sound this really warm and emotional expression. Somebody who listened to the concert who is not a guitar player gave me the feedback, that it's like going from a very good soprano to a out-of-reality soprano. In fact it was my vision to create a guitar sound which is as unique and as developed like a professional singer who can display all kinds of expressions with the voice and this guitar is able to take this to the best level possible. Of course the playing technique has to match the possibilities of the guitar but this is extremly motivating to work hard to take it to the level of unlimited possibilities of emotional expression on the guitar.

Hier it is - I recorded this after playing Mrs Blue only for one hour.
