There is a new song and video out by Extreme and Nuno Bettencourt is back with an astonishing guitar solo and guitar work.

Hey Randy - yeah in fact Mrs Blue is full of life. I can not put in words how great this guitar is. And yes Dr Pink was with me since 2006 and my Godin LGX since 1995 - they are both part of my life. They will not go away. But the Godin LGX probably will not be played so often anymore. That guitar I must say was my main guitar - specialy on concerts and I was looking for a replacement for quite a while.

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

it's on the way He imediatly came to see what is new in the house and he didn't want to leave the guitarcase

And of course Rambo already marked his territory on the case of the guitar.

I played it now for one hour and my summary of impressions is just a huge " WOW " ! This guitar is not only very beautiful, it is extremly professionaly handcrafted and the playability and the sound is just stunning. Normally every guitar has some spots where the tone is not so direct or strong. Mostly in high positions. Not this guitar - every tone has a fast and strong attack and the guitar is extremly balanced. All notes have the same strengh - even the highest notes. I plays so easy and because all notes are coming so direct and strong and the fretboard is so extremly well manifactured you can play whatever you want and it works. Now comes the next problem or question - shall Dr. Pink make a step beside for Mrs. Blue ?

Here the first pics - this guitar is in fact wonderful and I was not sure if I keep it but it will stay. Plays really easy but I will need a few days or weeks to completly adapt to it.

Yes I know she would love it - she always supported my music. In fact I had spagetti and tomato sauce for lunch today - but there is a trick to make it taste better for a low price. Just add some fresh herbs to it. In this case some rosmarin and chives - both growing in my small garden.. well garden is a bit overrated. I must say I was sweating when I ordered it - just to get an idea. I have only 1 chair and one table as furniture ( IKEA ) my grandmom bought it for 20 years ago. But when it comes to musical instruments it has to be the best of the best

Dr. Pink is getting some company by Mrs Blue. This is a PRS Cheasapeake Bay Bridge Private Stock guitar and it will replace if all goes well my old Godin LGX which I have been playing for over 30 years now. In the past months I felt that the Godin LGX can not display the sound I want to create since I reached a new level of expression on guitar so I was starting to look for a new guitar and since mom left me a few bucks it would have been her wish to invest it properly. So I estimated a budget of 7K for a new guitar - but I didn't find any which really striked me as my old Godin LGX done 30 years ago. At that time that guitar was 3.5K and I only had 100 bucks in my pocket and I bought it and never regreted it. 2 weeks ago I received a newsletter from a guitar store were they sold this PRS Cheasapeake Bay Bridge for a reduced price of 12K and unfortunately I fell in love with this guitar. I tried to reduce my attraction for this guitar since it is way over my budget but now it's on the way to me. It will arrive from Leeds GB tomorrow. PRS delivered only 8 guitars to Europe and even those are different. I will get this one here. It's the only video and review which was available in the internet. But I was lucky this store gave me a really good discount but the the next few weeks there will only be pasta and tomato sauce on my dinner table to get some money back. And the name will be : Mrs Blue

This is a cool add - the theme of red baron seems to be easy but the last 4 bars are in fact a technical challenge. I added this also in memory of my good old musician friend " Wilbert Gill Junior " who passed away too early and I miss the music talks we always had. In fact he was the only musician which I knew in person who understood the way I feel music with colors and vibes. Here you can see a live version where you also see Junior playing :

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 I never achieved to play it like in the movie " Crossroads " I improved a lot in other playing techniques. Thats the vibe one needs to follow. And the journey never ends.... https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/files/category/7-free-guitar-student-files/

I am carrying this idea since at least 3 years to start to record and produce meditation music with the guitar and with the guitar tuned on 432Hz. I first wanted to release a CD with meditation music 432 Hz on piano but I got the message from my business partners in NY that Apple Music and other download or streaming services do not allow any music anymore which is labeled with " meditation music " or " relaxation music " or " therapy music " or " 432Hz ". That was quite a surprise and it stopped my enthusiasm for quite a while. I released the Piano CD in 432 Hz here on this website https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/files/category/1-healing-and-therapy-music/ Since I switched the Farbmusik concerts in January from piano to guitar and motivated by the success I took this idea back to produce a CD with guitar meditation music in 432Hz. I did some testing and research on the sound which shall be created and now here it is. The first preview or first recording with Guitar Meditation Music 432Hz - it's the color orange as you can see in the picture above. Meditations Gitarre 432 Hz.mp3 Only Premium Members can play the track !
