Here you can learn the magic which is behind the song Midnight Blues by Snowy White. Somebody recommend this song to me and wanted to know if I can do a tutorial about it so I analyzed this song and wanted to find out why became so popular even though there is no official recording available on YouTube. There are three things which make the magic of this song. First of all to Form. It is a simple musical form with the chords E minor C and D but the way they are arranged through the song and the way the arrangement is building up makes the real magic of this song I give more information about this in the video but he'll find the chords displayed. I have skipped the intro. First Part Em / C D / Em / Em Em C / D / Em / C D Em / Em / Em / C D Em / Em / Em C / D Em / Em Second Part - Repeats itself C / D / Em / Em C / D / Em / Em C / D / Em / Em C / D / Em / Em Em C / D / Em / Em The second signature thing is the sound of the lead guitar. One part of the sound is the sound setting which is probably a vibrolux amp or something similar and the other part is the playing technique as you create this sweet sound which is basically just played with the E minor Pentatonic. I'll show you some tricks and some examples how you can get this sweet sound and how you can have a dynamic expression with his clean sound which has only reverb as an effect. The third signature thing is the catching the moment of an emotion into music. Blues is a music style which has a lot to do with emotion the sadness and loss and if you don't feel the same emotions probably you cannot play blues. From my personal experience and the experience of other players I know that the best recordings happened in moments where you really feel this moment of sadness and loss or slight depression. But of course you can also play blues if you don't feel sad but at least you have the experience that you probably lost a dear friend or lost your relation partner or something similar and you can put these emotions into your play. midnight blues snowy white.mp3 Here you find an other tutorial to this topic here :

I want to share a few thoughts I went through in the past weeks and months which led to a personal reset which has started in these days which in fact will alter my artist work a bit and probably make it more personal then it was before. I think the past 12 months were challenging for nearly everybody on this planet in many ways. I always said to my close people or those I spoke to that the Covid crisis brings people to what they really are. And so I thought about my upcoming path as an artist and musician also with this new situation that hit artists probably most. I know that I have been very successful as an online instructor in the past 15 years. I have been an instructor at gibson.com at guitartricks.com and now since 2013 on my HPCrazy Guitar Channel. But beside this guitar player and guitar instructor there was always a second person with another artistic expression. I am a very spiritual person who dedicated my whole life to music and ways of expressing emotions with music but I am also an educated astrologer and trained in spiritual exercises. That was always my source of inspiration but till 2020 I always kept it more or less secret because I wanted to be seen as a mainstream musician. I made many thoughts about this in 2020 and in Nov. 2020 I decided to put my knowledge of Farbmusik, of Astrology and spiritual exercises into a brand new psychological - musical concept to help people in situations of crisis. So I set up a new website http://www.sternentherapie.com and one week later I had my first client. It was my Sister Monika - she got bad news from her doctor and needed support. So I took the challenge even I could see in her astrological chart that it was a " Make it or break it " situation. At the end she did not make it, but she left our world in complete peace and I must say at the very end of her life she got to her full spiritual strength and recognition. And that's what it's all about. When she passed away I knew that this was a sign for me that I also should start this. The principle of Sternentherapie is very much connected to music. Beside the councelling with astrology you get your personal meditation music to work on your themes. When a client asks for that additional feature I improvise a song on piano related to a person's current situation. In my normal artist work I will now more include my full person and my full knowledge. Well it was always there but somehow I hid it behind pictures with no words or music with no words. This will change now. I said goodbye to the old mainstream musician I was, I will leave more or less my social media life on Facebook, Instagram and I will start to do Sternentherapie, Farbmusik and continue the HPCrazy Academy but will also bring more psychological aspects into it. And so this webpage here will be the center of my work in the future. So this my personal reset which I liked to share. If you also made a reset which you want to share please let us know in your personal profile. 🙂

Dynamic Minor Blues Concept A minor blues is often a musical form with three chords and a dramatic shift in the music itself. In this case we have a little riff which is made out of two bars with A minor and in the second bar F and G. The trick to create an amazing minor blues is to have dynamic shifts in your playing and your expression on the guitar. You can compare it to storytelling. You want to make the story simple but interesting and it's the same in music. You have simple chords but you want to make it sound interesting. And that's exactly the point where this tutorial comes into perfect place. I am showing you how to make variations in sound, in playing and in expression of those three chords A minor, F and G which are used often in minor blues or other minor balade settings. One essential trick is your dynamic attack on the strings which gives you variations in your distorted sound. By adding vibrato to the chords you can make them sound more dramatic and more expressive. Different types of fingering of the cords of the attacking and of the expression is the main topic of this guitar tutorial and will help you to get your unique individual guitar sound in a minor blues.

It was really about time that I overworked the entire website now and made the whole thing as compact and cooperate identity look style as possible. Now I am proud to announce that the new website is online now. Check : http://www.hanspeterkruesi.com The idea was always to pull all my services and all my work to one website and now it's done. One of the main hard tasks was that there are in fact so many services and projects. They are still all out there but all roads and links will now lead to this website here. This important update is also part of my new strategy I worked on since more than one year to free myself from all social media plattforms. I don't believe that they will have a consistant future as they had in the past. Many users are upset by them changing community guidelines all the time only for their advantage and the abuse of there personal data on this plattforms. Here on this website your personal data is completly save and will never be used for something else then the monthly newsletter and you can completly delete your data anytime. Also digital music distribution is overgoing dramatic changes. Spotify announced that only artists over 1000 streams per song will get any royalities payed out. Then earning of the artists which are below that will go to the bigger artists. That's something I can not support anymore. And there are now more and more restrictions for artist who want to distribute there music in Spotify and other plattforms. I will do special edition distribution here on this website - for music which is not allowed in the official stores anymore or just because I want to make my music faster available for users. So this is a major shift in my online and digital strategies. And as a personal note - when Facebook and co came up I knew this would not lead to something good and it was in fact a mistake to spend so much time keeping up on social media strategies. In these days the situation has changed so much that the ammount of time you have to spend to reach as much people as before as exceeded a healthy balance in the workflow. So this website is now my personal anwser to the developments which started to go in the wrong direction since 2018.

If you are a fan of really cool 80's till 90's rock like Judas Priest, Krokus, Accept, Scorpions or others or you just love rock guitar this tutorial is for you. Here I show you a really hard rocking guitar riff in the key of D and how you can develop your riff to another riff and to slightly get into soloing. Even the tracks is 120 bpm – meaning pretty fast the riff and the licks are quiet easy to play if you have your things a bit together. In this tutorial it's not about the riff and the licks I am showing. There are only suggestions – it's about creating this great music and waves of cool and hard rocking music.

Here you can learn the song Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Cyrus thought there is also a Spanish version available which is called “ No Rompas Mas Mi Pobre Corazon “. I am showing you the signature parts of this song which is the intro, the main rhythm and the one guitar solo. On the original recording you can hear up to three guitars but I worked out of version for you which is easy to play and it's only for one guitar. The song itself has a very simple form this is : A / A / A / E / E / E / E / A This form repeat itself all the time. In between there are several guitar fill-ins which are basically country guitar fill-ins. here I suggest that we use that a major pentatonic for those lead guitar parts. In the tutorial I am also showing alternative ways of playing the main guitar with the little bit more harder to play but probably nearer to the original parts. However you want to play this song just follow the chords displayed in the description here and have some fun. Achy Breaky Heart.pdf Achy Breaky Heart.gp achy breaky heart.mp3
