Some thoughts on color music. The idea of color music was to create music that can represent and harmonize the sum of human emotions. The idea is not completely new and comes from kinesiology or similar related forms of therapy as well as regulatory diagnostics according to Dr Klinghardt. In the course of the development of colour music concepts, a form of therapy also emerged in the practice of Heidi Klien in Öhringen Germany. Tests over a longer period of time showed that patients responded more strongly and positively to the treatment by combining regulatory diagnostics and colour music. A basic idea, concept was that a missing energy field is filled up and harmonized by the appropriate treatment through the color. Please contact Mrs. Heidi Klien according to this concept or simply listen intuitively to the colour which appeals to her most.

Here i’m going to talk about my psychological improvisation concept which works great for an emotional expression in your improvisation on guitar. Working with this concept makes you play more emotional more expressive and lets you get more into your flow of guitar playing. It's about playing a note related with an emotion, a picture, a color, a story or anything emotional related to your own experience. In this tutorial I will give you a few insights in this concept and invite you to create your own expression by using this or any other backing track. If you want to share your recordings and your story which one to tell with others you might want to join the HP crazy guitar Academy and post your recording and your story there. rock backing track am 100.mp3 Here you find the full text displayed about this concept : https://www.hpcrazy.com/private.html To all members of the HPCrazy Students Club - please share your own experience how you proceeded with the pyschological improvisation concept.

HPCrazy Guitar Academy The HPCrazy Online Guitar Academy is a complete online education system for guitarists. At first there is the HPCrazy YouTube Channel. This channel is basically a free guitar academy for all interested guitarists worldwide. The idea of this guitar academy originates from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne a few years ago, where high quality learning content is made available free of charge to everyone on the net and anyone who wants to delve deeper into the subject matter can then integrate themselves into the educational system. So joining the HPCrazy Guitar Academy with a Premium Membership is the first step to expand the educational offer.

This serves as additional inspiration and motivation. If you want to go one step further, you can get private guitar lessons or private online guitar lessons. For those who want to fully immerse themselves in guitar playing, a part-time guitar study program can be started. Categories The following categories are available in the HPCrazy Guitar Academy : Blues - The Blues Guitar Tutorials are designed to learn the basics of blues, blues improvisation, theory and basic improvisation concepts with the so-called question-answer concept. Beside these basic concepts, more complex blues forms are shown, playing styles of well-known blues guitarists are analyzed, or simply different Blueslicks are shown, with which you can quickly achieve a great professional sounding success with simple means. The tutorials marked with Masterclass are for advanced guitarists. Rock - In the Rock Guitar Tutorials all important techniques of this genre are shown. It starts with the so-called power chords, the commonly used chords of the rock guitar. The rhythm guitar in rock is relatively simple, because the power chords are relatively easy to grap, but nevertheless the rhythm is very important and is trained accordingly. A timing accurate rhythm guitar is the foundation of every rock band. Lead guitar is technically very demanding and has to be trained accordingly. Various exercises on timing and synchronization techniques are important parts of the lead guitar and are completed with an appropriate lick library. The tutorials which are marked as Guitar Masterclass are intended for the very advanced guitarists and serve as motivation and inspiration for the others. Jazz - The jazz guitar is by far the most complicated music form. In this genre a preoccupation with music theory harmony and rhythm is inevitable. The study of modes, chord progression, syncopation, improvisation concepts and various blues and musical forms are the center of the training on the jazz guitar. In jazz, improvisation concepts are very sophisticated and complex. The demands on guitar technique are very high and require special training. With the different protagonists of jazz are just as important as the so-called transcriptions of various solos by jazz musicians. In the tutorials these demands are met. Funk - The Funk guitar is primarily a rhythm guitar. A preoccupation with rhythmics is the center of training for the funk guitar. The basic forms of the so-called 16th rhythmics are learned and implemented on the guitar. Different chord licks, single note lines, tricks and other genre typical aspects of this guitar are shown in the tutorials. Covers - In the cover tutorials known pieces are analyzed and the most important parts of the pieces are shown on the guitar. In some cases arrangements are also shown, which others are based on the melody of a well-known piece. Acoustic - In the Acoustic Tutorials different aspects of the acoustic guitar are shown. This includes the genres of Flamenco Jazz, Rumba, any other form of Latin American guitar techniques, accompaniments, singer songwriters, blues on the steel-string guitar and much more. Artist Studies - In the Artists Studies, playing techniques, pieces or typical playing styles of well-known guitarists are analysed and shown. In particular, simplified aspects of well-known guitarists are also shown that these protagonists are often top-class guitarists. Only in the Guitar Masterclasses are the playing techniques and details of these players discussed. Guitar Meditation - In the Guitar Meditation Tutorials you can learn how to play the guitar and meditation techniques I have developed. The focus is on simple melody and chord sequences which have a repetitive character and are therefore suitable to get into a meditative state while playing. The basis of the Guitar Meditation Technique lies in the so-called Farbmusik. Farbmusik is a form of music developed by me which works with visualisation techniques, breathing techniques and meditative improvisation techniques. These are shown in the Meditation Guitar. Guitar Techniques - In the Guitar Techniques different guitar techniques are shown. These are the typical playing techniques, which are looked at in detail and perfected. It can be the playing techniques, working with guitar effects, rhythm exercises or other aspects of the purely technical implementation of guitar playing. Classic & Filmmusic - In classical music and film music, small classical-looking etudes are shown or arrangements of classical pieces are presented. There are also simplified arrangements of well-known film music pieces or pieces that would work as film music. Credits 1999 - 2005 : Various mandates in Swiss Universities of Music - ACM ( today ZKdK ) and WIAM. I supervised up to 30 students per week who wanted to become professional musicians. Various guest mandates and lectures in guitar workshops in other music schools. 2005 Lecturer and representative of the SMPV at the D-A-CH Symposium in Germany. Lectures on music lessons and internet. Concepts and experience reports. SMPV ( Swiss Music Pedagogical Association ) Accreditation ( authorization ) 1999 - 2007 for private university education and SMPV consulting and teaching activities. The accreditation was an authorization to train private students to become professional musicians. Featured online instuctor at guitartricks.com ( 2006 - 2012 ), featured online instructor at Gibson.com ( 2007 ) and support of over 80000 students online. During this time I gained a lot of experience in optimizing learning content for a general worldwide audience. Feedback, statistics and experience reports from that time are the basis of the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. At the same time, I ran the Gitarrenforum.eu - a leading online portal in Europe at that time for guitar and guitar lessons. Starting in 2013, management of a successful guitar channel on YouTube under the name HPCrazy with currently over 27000 subscribers, over 100000 visitors / month and over 600000 viewed minutes / month. ( Feb 2020 ) Playing Level The general tutorials are designed for the slightly advanced guitarist / guitarist. The tutorials marked with " Guitar Masterclass " are for advanced to semi-professional guitarists and can serve as inspiration for other guitarists. For beginners and slightly advanced guitarists there is a playlist on YouTube - Beginners & Easy Lessons. These tutorials can also be found in the Academy but are not specially marked there. The tutorials are designed in a way that all questions are already answered, but if you are stuck in a tutorial, you have the possibility to get a private lesson or to buy a support ticket. Free Membership The free membership is also worthwhile, because a community of people interested in guitars is created here, where you can directly exchange ideas with others about the free tutorials. Especially in times of Big - Data it makes sense to use alternative platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and co. The data collected in the Academy will not be used at all. There is very rarely a newsletter, but you can activate it or not. The HPCrazy Guitar Nights are also organized and coordinated in the community. At the Guitar Nights students can take an active role and play along. All student activities can be organised in the HPCrazy Students Club. Members can also start contributions there. My Experience From 2003 to 2006 I managed the Gitarrenforum.eu, built up an online guitar school and at the same time built up and wrote the English equivalent on HPCrazy.com. At that time I had a lot of traffic, many students, many visitors and therefore I was able to build up a great wealth of experience. In 2006 I got a mandate at GuitarTricks.com, at that time the biggest portal worldwide about learning guitar and guitar. At that time we had all user base of 1.5 million subscribers and I was always in the top 4 of the so-called featured instructors on this web portal from 2006 to 2012. 2007 cooperation with Gibson and there I was used as advertising medium for Guitartricks.com. Because of my great popularity at that time, strategic decisions of Guitartricks.com were also discussed directly with me. During this time I have gained a lot of experience in running a general betting portal for a large number of students and providing them with content. I learned what users want, what serves them in the game, and how to pass on learning content to a broad mass of people. This knowledge has now been incorporated into my own guitar academy, the HPCrazy Guitar Academy, and is now available on the YouTube channel and the guitar academy presented here.

Hanspeter Kruesi is a trained professional pianist, guitarist and composer from Switzerland and has been working as a freelance artist since 1989. Since 2003 his compositions have been used in numerous national and international TV and film productions (SRF, ABC, BBC and many more). Starting as Bar & Jazz Pianist In the years 1989 to 1996 Hanspeter Kruesi was mainly professionally active as a jazz pianist & bar pianist. In Zurich he played mainly in the then well-known Zurich clubs, the Splendid Bar, the Widder Bar and the Casa Bar either as solo pianist or in various jazz formations or in other Swiss jazz clubs. As an artist accompanist for professional singers, he was very busy in the jazz scene at that time. He also played professionally as a pianist in various formations such as Big Bands, Jazz Quartets, Jazz Quintets or Top 40 or Blues & Boogie Woogie Bands. He played at various jazz festivals like the jazz festival Lichtensteig or the jazz festival Jona or other jazz festivals as a solo pianist as well as other formations. in 1996 he started studying at the conservatory, but unfortunately had to give up playing the piano after a few months due to a chronic tendinitis. since he played the guitar as a secondary instrument at that time, he spontaneously switched to the guitar from main instrument and interrupted his career as a pianist for several years. in 1999 he finished his music studies with a diploma as guitarist. Years As Guitarist In 1999 Hanspeter Krüsi started working on his former web portal Gitarrist.ch and started a career in the then emerging internet which quickly became very successful. Since then he is present as a guitarist worldwide on the subject of guitar, guitar music and guitar playing on the Internet. His music has already been played on various international radio stations, his videos and recordings have received very positive attention and mention in countless specialist portals. From 2006 - 2012 he was a featured Instructor on www.guitartricks.com, the top portal for guitar and guitar playing at that time and supervised more than 60000 students - in 2007 he was even an endorser and online instructor on gibson.com. His pioneering work in the field of online education has been recognized by the trade press several times and received very positive attention from the national association SMPV. Currently Hanspeter Krüsi runs a YouTube guitar channel under the pseudonym " HPCrazy " with currently more than 80000 visitors per month and a constantly growing number of fans worldwide. On Spotify an acoustic flamenco composition will reach over 120000 listeners in 2016. 2017 a blues composition reaches over 1500000 listeners. Playing Piano Again In 2002, inspired by a concert by the then still unknown Brad Mehldau, Hanspeter Kruesi decided to launch the website Pianist.ch. Shortly after that the first professional engagements at small to medium sized events followed. In later years, engagements at large corporate identity events with 500 to 3,000 participants followed. In the years up to 2010 so much experience could be gained at big events. In 2003 he began working as a composer for television and film. In the special broadcast for the 175th birthday of the Swiss Federal Railways SBB, a piano piece, Keys of Destiny, was used as the title melody of a 24-hour special broadcast of Swiss television. With this reference, many uses of his music on television followed. Highlights were the use of modern pieces with piano in Hollywood productions such as Ugly Betty, Dr House or other ABC productions. Developement of the Farbmusik Hanspeter Krüsi is a synaesthetically inclined musician, for whom tones sound passages represent improvisation concepts, chords represent colours. The year 2003 is 2007 maps of the exploration and specification of a concept of improvisation and the representation of colours through music. The term color music was defined. Music concerts are improvised classically inspired concerts, which should bring this concept to the audience. This concept is very unique in its kind. The field of colour and music has not yet been thoroughly explored, but many concerts have shown that a large part of the audience recognizes the colours in the music pieces and the colour improvisations. A scientific claim to music and colour and the psychological context is not the aim of colour music concerts. The goal is a comprehensive musical enjoyment through all colours, which captivates the audience, even those who may not be able to perceive a connection between the music and the colour directly. Therefore the claim of the Colour Music Piano Concerts is that it is an individual interpretation of the colours in the music and not a scientifically proven concept. Experience from concerts since 2005 shows that the audience appreciates this form of music very much and always likes to come back. If you want to classify this music into a genre, you would most likely use film music, semi classical or classical music. Comparable protagonists of the more precise are pianists like Keith Jarrett, Michel Petrucciani, Yiruma, Michael Niemann, Philip Glass, Brad Mehldau, many events and many more. Personal words and outlook

Hey Marty, thanks for the feedback and good to know. More Smooth Jazz is about to come in the near future.

From my experience as a guitar tutor and guitar instructor since 1999 it always turned to be those topics I am talking about here. The threshold to go further is the barréchord. That one is the tricky part which can make the first steps harder and longer time to get stuck in the beginners phase. The good news is with regular practicing you can really make it in 3 months. I experienced this myself when I started the guitar at the age of 20. So i pretty much remember those steps. Be patient and just practice regular and suddely those things I am showing here work out for you and you are ready to get to the next level of guitarplaying.
