Hey guys,

here I will post updates which come in the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. So here are the current updates :

1. Guitar Secrets - I have renamed the Guitar Techniques into this new name and there will some amazing stuff coming in the very near future with this new title.

2. SEO Improvment - I did not do so much for Google optimization for this website here. But I started with it as a first step which a much easier navigation for you guys. BTW - it you run a website - any link to the HPCrazy Guitar Academy is much apprechiated.

3. Livestreaming - The livestreaming somehow is still in the beta phase - I have change the software now to OBS and I will be working it out that announced livestreams will in fact show up there where they are announced. This seems to be a much bigger problem then I thought.

I have change an older department now to :

A New Era for HPCrazy Begins!

Hey there, dear HPCrazy Community,

I've got some big news for all of you! After a lot of hard work and deep thought, it's time to roll up our sleeves and take HPCrazy to a whole new level!

You know me, Hanspeter Kruesi, musician and teacher since 1998. And you know my loyal companion, Dr. Pink. But now, our musical family is growing: Please welcome Mrs. Blue, our new guitar, who will play a central role in HPCrazy's future!

Why a New Strategy Now?

The world of online content has changed dramatically over the last 10 years. The market for guitar tutorials is incredibly saturated today. It's no longer enough to "just" deliver good content – you need to be unique, offer real value, and pursue a clear vision.

I've realized that my motivation hasn't always been at 100% these past two years, as I felt we were in a "dead end" if we stuck to generic content. It's time to redefine HPCrazy to ensure our channel remains relevant and vibrant in the future. I'm ready to pour my entire energy and passion into this transformation!

What's New at HPCrazy? – Welcome Farbmusik!

The heart of our new strategy is Farbmusik – Music to Colors, my unique Psychological Improvisation Concept.

Forget old genres and rigid music theory! With Farbmusik, I'll show you how to express emotions and visualize colors directly through your music. It's about more than just playing notes; it's about pouring your soul into your melodies and unleashing your creativity in a whole new way. Mrs. Blue will help you discover these new dimensions.

I'm convinced this concept has the potential to profoundly change the world of music. My experience from live concerts shows that 65-70% of people who experience Farbmusik live are thrilled and keep coming back. Now it's time to spark that excitement online and make it accessible to a much larger community!

At the moment, there are a few technical issues happening which does not let me embed the video's here in the academy. So you only find the link to the video's at the moment. I hope this problem will be solved soon. 😊

As it seems there are more functions involved with the current technical problems. However I will move to a new server and by the end of the week hopefully everything will be fine again.

We all have to be a bit patient. 😊

Finally we made it to a new server and it seems as all error messages are gone and all is working normal again. The delay was caused because of the long weekend of last Friday being the swiss national day and then Saturday and Sunday where the extended support of my server was not working, which was needed to fix this problem. But I'm glad we are completly back online. 😊

I have updated the CAPTCHA spam prevention to a Cloudflare widget, since the old Google driven spamprevention caused some problems in the firefox browser when the popup blocker was activated.

Let me know when something does not work but the tests I did now were running smoothly.

I have added a " Featured Content " box to the page where I will show posts which think you guys should check out because it's really cool or important to know.

Major Updates on the Horizon

There are many major updates on the horizon when it comes to the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. So here are now the really cool and hot news.

Till now the model was always like this that the HPCrazy YT Channel was like the show case and one could come here to the academy to download the files associated to the tutorials. That was basicly what the academy always was.

Now I will start to bring more activity here directly to the HPCrazy Guitar Acadey. This includes more interaction possibilities which will be a first a monthly guitar workshop livestream on topics you can vote for, suggest or if there is not enough community feedback I will just do. The livestream YT videos will be embedded here in the new Premium Member Section and will only be accessable for Premium Members.

Also I will make more articles about guitar learning, guitar playing, guitar sound lab and also share my latest recordings here. In other words the whole creative work and workflow will be now transfered to this website.

I want to encourage all members and users here to take the opportunity to build up a cool community of real guitar and guitar music lovers and start sharing and discussing. This is the whole purpose of this website. I will make this system as cool and efficiant as possible for all members this would be either free members or premium members. But the main fokus will be on the small group of premium members. It shall be an exclusive circle of guitar players and guitar lovers. And we are disconnecting from the usual social media strategies and just focus on features here.

Thats what is basicly planed and the new system is now getting rolled out. To support this standard of excellence and ensure a sustainable foundation, the pricing structures for new members will be adapted. This is an expert community so it has to be supported in a proper manner. The good news is for all premium members who are already regular members the price will not change. A little thank you for the years of support you guys gave to me.

That's now all for the moment. I'll keep you guys updated when the first new features are getting rolled out.

Thank you for the update…..enjoy the connection. Although you do not hear from me much, I work everyday on your material and appreciate all of the effort you put into this

Greg

Here I want to introduce this cool new feature as well and explain what I have planed for it.

Featured Content

Here I will add blog entries, tutorials, downloads or whatever I think is interesting of fits the current theme of the week or month. I also plan to feature older tutorials which gotten forgotten or which I update with new material such as tabs, backing tracks or new insights. I checked my YT channel and I have like 1500 videos - many of the topics I have been talking about are still valid.

I have just updated the description for the Premium Membership to reflect our latest digital and pedagogical developments.

The service has been massively enlarged: with the launch of the brand-new, interactive HPCrazy Guitar Lab, you now get access to monthly live masterclasses, real-time interaction, and "The Vault" archive. To cover the extremely risen quality of the whole material—especially the broadcast-quality backing tracks produced to professional TV & movie industry standards in the past few months —the pricing has been recalculated.

The new price only is valid for new members. Ongoing subscribers can keep the old price. But if you feel you want to contribute something additional you are free to do so here : https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/clients/donations/
