Axe FX The european distributor will launch an advertisment in the leading german guitarmagazin " Gitarre & Bass " showcasing different german and swiss guitarists. I am on board too. view http://www.g66.eu/index.php?option=com_con...9&Itemid=61 Jacques the managing guy from g66.eu told me that they will release a poster as well. Music-pictures I have finished the color pictures on my website after I had to end the cooperation with my relativ Christina Krüsi. The pictures where created with a fractal graphik generator and when you click on the pictures you will see that the pictures are animated. It took me over 1 week of time to finish this but I am very happy with the result and those animations will be used during my upcoming liveperformances in Zürich starting in Jan. 09. http://www.music-pictures.com/colormusic.htm Swiss Television I got a message from the managing musiclibrary guy from Swiss TV that my music is very popular and he was asking for more. I started the production today with the first layouts. YouTube.com I have added a new video on youtube.com where I play the latest version of my old song " Claim up " . I am starting to work with cool sounds in combination with the touch technique. This is really what was missing in the past. New CD planed I am planig to release a new guitar CD. This CD will contain all kinds of guitarwork I am now doing including the whole bunch of new touch technique expressions and other playing techniques in combination with great modern effects and conventional sounds. You can preview my layouts or even final recordings at http://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/news

Keep it going - I won't tell you how much sleep I missed for my goals HP

Well of course I have a piano which is connected with Midi to the PC and then I play those software plugins. You don't need a full piano, a small keyboard with a Midiwire is OK too. Well Nuendo is really only for pro's - but I would purchase a software which a least supports VST instruments. HP

Now I got the title of the episode : Ugly Betty : Bad Amanda If anybody finds the clip where you can hear my music I would be very greatful

Hi Denis, thanks this is in fact great - even that I never watched that serial before. I don't know that site you are talking about but it looks promissing and seems to be a good opportunity to get your music to the producers. I use Nuendo 4 but I worked with Cubase before. Nuendo is just better for movie synchronisation stuff. And I use waves plugins and a lot off additional plugins. I don't work with midi controllers so I can not give you any advice. Still doing stuff with the keyboard and the mouse. HP

Hey Jim, thanks I don't watch it either - just zapped through once or twice . It's on TV in Europe to so I guess that it is pretty successful in the US. HP

Here's the link http://abc.go.com/primetime/uglybetty/index?pn=index - its the serial no 310 .. but I don't know which name. IT will be broadcasted on ABC today. HP

I just received an email from the producer from the company in Hollywood where I got my music under license. GREAT NEWS ! I got my first placement in a successful US serial. My song " In touch with god " view http://www.music-pictures.com/violett/index.htm will be broadcasted today on ABC.com in the serial Ugly Betty. Way cool. HP

X-mas song Holy night

Here a X-mas song for sologuitar on a intermediate level. Holy_night.pdf

2 new teaching videos in HD : rockriff 3 rockriff 4

Hi Denis, yeah that name would fit, I think about it and I really feel sorry for the polar bears because the climate is changing that dramatic. We had a thunder storm were it was snowing yesturday here in Switzerland. No one can remember that this happened before. HP

Axe FX Ultra g66.eu I have started to endorse the Axe FX now. Since I am a big fan of the sound and soundpossibilities this is not very hard for me. The more and more I get into the work in the studio and live with the Axe FX Ultra the more I can't be without it anymore. Guitartricks.com Guitartricks.com has gone through some major changements as you know which kept me very busy. But it was worth. The new site is online now and currently they are featuring me pretty well. Therefore you can view the advertisment video at http://www.guitartricks.com and here you can read what the are writting about me and my work - you can read the whole thing at http://www.guitartricks.com/yourinstructors.php Recording I am pretty hard into recording stuff for that movie which shall be finished at the end of 08. One song came out very nice and I think I will add this one to one of my future CD's as well. The slide guitar you are hearing is the lead melody. I created this amazing sound with my new Axe FX Ultra and of course a lot of playing technique and a special trick behind it. Check it out at http://www.music-pictures.com/newsletter/news.htm - it is called " Powergeneration 2 " After I have done this movie I will start recording a new CD with those great sounds. I already have a lot of ideas in my head which are waiting to be done. Greetings HP

Well the Fracal audio axe is in fact great. I wouldn't say it if I would really mean it. And yes this assignement will pay me the rent for one year but it will be some work. That will keep me busy till the end of the year. HP

New sound equipement I got a new amazing piece of equipement in my studio which I will use for my recording and my liveplaying. It is the Fractal Audio Axe FX Ultra - view http://www.fractalaudio.com/ Somebody recommend it to me and I bought it without hearing how it sounds.... and IT IS GREAT !!! The Ampmodels are great and the effects are really outstanding and they sound like the effects of the legendary Eventide H3000 or Lexikcon PCM70. And the latency of this thing is only 2ms ( compare with the line 6 POD - 5ms ) and yes this makes a great difference. You feel when you want to play fast. Guitartricks.com guitartricks.com is running through some major updates since the middle of September. Since I am one of the featured instructors I have to participate this work as well and it is a lot of work. All videos have to be re-shot in HD quality. I am half through this but from now one I have to take it a bit slower since other projects are coming now. Composing work I finaly got the assignment to compose the music to a movie which is currently in production. This will be the 175 anniversery movie of a worldwide very well know Swiss company. The movie be be only with music. This means that I have to compose over 30 minutes of music till the end of the year. Live performances I have a whole bundle of live performances coming up in the next few weeks and months. This will keep me very busy but I am glad that I have my Axe FX now. This tool is really what was need to take my touch technique abilties to the next level and to take it to a more modern version of it. I think when all is over I will start to record a new guitar - only CD with touch technique. Looking forward to it. Work overload I now am in the situation that I have that much work that I can not do this all on my own any more. So I started to hire somebody yesturday who will help me with graphic works and homepage design. If everything works out fine she will also be responsible to any future art work on CD's or DVD's. She is also a painting artist and doing a great job on that. Greets HP

4 additions : updated : Touch technique - Ave maier new : Rockriff 2 advanced rock licks basic tapping rock licks

Well the sellings are not outstanding but OK. And there is a market for instrumental music - currently I am working on some new stuff which will work out very good. I started this with a few liveperformances in spring 08 with the new concept and it was very successful - now I am working on a new CD and I will record a pure guitar CD next. I compose instrumental music for music libraries such as the one of Swiss national TV and I got a contract in spring 08 in Hollywood for my instrumental music. That's pretty cheap. You could give a shot - or you could work out producing your own music at your professional homestudio. In thes days you don't have to pick up that much money. HP

Yeah that's not too bad. Actually now I have 203000 views and I am in the youtube - suggestion list. Check for " hpcrazy "

Yeah seem to be. - that's why I had to raise prices here in the school to afford all my dating stuff.

I know I know but I save money because I don't feel like making other dates and hanging round in bars the whole time.

Ok gonna add it today. She is not my student anymore. I canceled the lessons yesturday. When you start dating your female students it is over with lessons. Kind of a golden rule

Well I did - that's what started my major crisis last year - I didn't look at anybody else until now.. Yeah the jam is actually only a 16th groove played with full distortion with a drop D tuning. I could add it in the jamtracks section. HP
