Hey guys, after my mom and my whole familly has passed away in the past 2 years a few personal notes how this will effect my work and my strategies in the upcoming future.

And here you find the donation section I was talking about : https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/clients/donations/

 

Dear Hans-Peter,

Very sad to hear you went through such a very difficult time. I do not know what to say to ease the pain.

Take care and best regards,

Jeff from The Netherlands

 

 

 

 

Hey Jeff,

thanks for your nice words. You know there is nothing to say - sometimes just a clap on the shoulder ... even a virtual one is enough. Thanks for that

HP,  Appreciate the update on your status.  Hang in there and do what you want to do.  I've got plenty of material from you since I'm signed up for the year to keep me very busy for a long time.

Hey Rossi, thanks for your words and your donation you just sent.

Yes there is a lot of material here - but there will be more coming. The main shift which will happen is that I don't make content anymore because of the YouTube alogerithm but because I enjoy the topic I am talking about. Music has to be fun and joy and not guided by an alogerithm. Maybe you will like the new jazz tutorial which is coming out today.... get yourself an oktaver to enjoy it more.

You've gotta be happy.  Life is too short.  Live for yourself and do what makes you happy otherwise what is the point in doing it?  This is suppose to be fun and enjoyable. 

Hey TOD - exactly .... thanks for your words

Hey Hanspeter, 

I came across your personal note a few weeks ago and was touched by your message. I have been following your channel on and off over the years and have always enjoyed your tutorials. You are one of my favourite guitar teachers. 
I really appreciate you sharing your personal message. When you are the last surviving member of your family, it would make you think about your priorities. 
Please keep doing what you are doing and keep producing great music and teaching resources. 
I am with you in believing that music can contribute to making the world a better place. 
This weekend I came across an Autumn Leaves tutorial and decided that it was time to learn to play this piece that I’ve been wanting to learn for a long time. 
This morning I found your tutorial and decided to watch it and found it was exactly the style that I wanted to learn, a mixture of jazz and blues. 
i didn’t know know that your have a guitar meditation channel. I also use my guitar practice as my meditation practice. 
Today I joined your guitar student club partly to support you and your efforts and to learn more about becoming a better guitarist. 
I little bit about me. I live in Canberra, Australia. Last year I turned 70. I started to learn ukulele and guitar just before last Christmas. At the beginning of the year I became more interested in the guitar, blues and jazz. So in some ways I’m only an 8 month old guitarist. 
I studied Sound and Sculpture at the Sydney College of the Arts but became a systems developer and business analyst to support the family. 
Now that the kids have grown up and moved out, I’ve decided, like you, to focus on what I enjoy, which is to do with music and creativity and sharing knowledge. 
Keep teaching and producing good music. 
Best Wishes

Hey Ot,

thanks for your nice words. Which was the tutorial you found the other morning ? Was it the Autumne Leaves one ? Yes that ons is really nice and you can approach it with little knowledge of jazz or a lot of knowledge of jazz. I love that you use the guitar practice as a meditation practice. It's the same for me - and that's the right approach which helps a lot to connect many things and also to the guitar. Thats a good thing that you mention that. I could do a tutorial on that subject again. And cool that you started guitar in a bit " higher " age. In music there are no restrictions - so go for it.
