Hier ein neues dunkelblaues Stück im Hans Zimmer Stil. Es gibt einen modern klingenden Beat mit cinematischen Elementen und einer Gruppe welche die Claps macht. Dazu kommt trance-artiger Sound zu Beginn, welcher das Stück eröffnet. Dann kommt das Streichorchester. Die Farbmusik Gitarre übernimmt die Rolle einer Sopranistin, welche mit der Melodie über dem ganzen Klangbett schwebt. Das Bild des Video's habe ich mit AI ( Photoshop ) kreiert und in Premiere noch animiert um die Dramatik des Stückes auch in ein Bild zu fassen. ------------------------- Here is a new dark blue piece in Hans Zimmer style.

The color music guitar takes on the role of a soprano, which floats with the melody over the whole sound bed. I created the image of the video with AI (Photoshop) and animated it in Premiere to capture the drama of the piece in an image.

Hello Greg, that's a good thought. I've also asked myself this question. How would a hearing aid affect my daily practice on the guitar? Especially as I have to play a lot with headphones so as not to disturb the neighbors and my wife. I'll probably take them out when I'm practicing with headphones, because they are already a kind of hearing aid. I'm looking forward to your experiences. Thanks in advance, Roland

In fact a very interesting question. I would say the reason for this is that you might be used to play the blue note very often which is in fact 1/4 bended A. There is a german word for that which I don't know how to translate : Hörgewohnheit ( something like " ways your ears are use to hear music ) and in this case this lead to your personal perseption that the 1/4 bend in this case sounds correct. At the beginning of music there was first the " Hörgewohnheit " and that leaded to theory. So your way is the original, intuitiv one.

Hey Hanspeter, thank you for this tutorial! I have a possibly odd question. But it made me crazy for a while, because i suggested that my guitar would be out of tune. So I reall worked hard on the tuning device. And i tested the turnaround on higher strings as well.... But finally it just seems to me, that the turnaround (Ab, A, Bb up to B7) sounds in my ears a bit better or maybe just a bit more natural, when i play after the A the next note not as Bb, but as a 1/4 bended A. Is there any theoretical explanation for this, or is the reason just an old man's bad hearing in this case? I hope my question isn't totally stupid Have a nice evening and thank you!

Hi, I really enjoyed this but it's tough to get that sweet blues tone. The TAB says it's free . How do I download it.

Here I show you a cool chord solo in the Joe Pass style over a standard jazz blues in F. In the 2nd part of the tutorial I give more theoretical insight behind these types of chords. Here you find the files associated to this tutorial :

This is great! Love jazz and jazz blues. Leand 'bout replacing chords

Great tutorial Hanspeter! Another step towards understanding chords, chord extensions, alternative chords and chord inversions Or if someone prefers, just use the fingerings of these cool chord shapes. Thank you very much.

Here I teach you how to get a great vibe in half and double time rock guitar riffs as heard in the song " Paradise City " by Guns N Roses. Here you can download the files associated to this tutorial :

Great, thank you Hanspeter! This short blues tutorial points to something, which I really miss quite often. Express emotions instead just playing around on licks & scales Let's talk the blues

Here I show you a cool rock guitar riff on the 7-string guitar. Here you can download the files associated to this tutorial :

This is now the 3rd tutorial of the Basic Smooth Jazz Guitar course which takes you step by step into the world of smooth jazz guitar. Here I give you some more exercises with modes, arpeggio's, rhythm on a new backing track. Here you can download the files associated to this tutorial :

I will do a livestream this afternoon on my TikTok channel. Don't exactly know what I will be playing but I can tell that I will do a longer livestream and probably focus on jazz guitar and touch technique. You find my tiktok channel here - you can of course also subscribe there :

This is the first tutorial of the series " Guitar Sound Lab " where I talk about the pure sound of the guitar. I talk about the dynamic range of your equipment and what you can figure out by selecting different guitar pickup settings and settings of your volume. The pure sound tutorial is the most important one because it defines what kind of guitar signal you will send into your effect chains. Here you find the backing track I used in this tutorial. It's only drum & bass that you really can figure out your guitar sound. The chord progression is : Em / Em / C / C / Am / Am / D / D guitar sound lab - pure sound.mp3

The topic is very exciting for me and I am also looking forward to further episodes. Again and again I have doubts about my guitar (besides my limited technical skills) and especially about my various modeling settings. I use a Line 6 HX Stomp. This is just one of many modeling devices on the market. But all these devices have one thing in common. The possibilities are overwhelming. And last but not least, I personally lack the right understanding of the crucial sequence of effects. So obviously the only correct way is to proceed step by step. Greetings, Roland

A classic moment every guitar player show know

As I already said TikTok is a wonderbox - somehow there are always good and bad news at the same time. After doing the first livestream on TikTok today I came to the conclusion that my focus shall remain here on this website. I lost like nearly 3 days of going through specs and messages and testing - it's just too time consuming.

Updated the " Best Use " Video

Here I talk about the most important tips about practicing guitar and giving you some advice on how to create a practice plan in order to develope a successful strategy in your guitar practicing routines. I strongly recommend that you make your own practice plan and if you wish you can write down your practice plan in the students blog if you want to get a review from me or others. Here you can download and print out a page to write down your practice plan. The download is free for club members - just hit the " Join " Button " If you want a review on your practice plan then please open up your own students blog :

TikTok in fact is a wonder-box - I don't really know what the algorithm is doing but I am reaching the monetization level and I have been invited by an Agency today to join their network. That's in fact a huge thing because they work directly together with TikTok and they will promote the upcoming live streams I will be doing on TikTok. Like 2 months ago I applied on tiktok for some advice about live streaming. Then TikTok contacted me personally and now I am in this really cool Agency. I had a personal call last week. Since the algorithm of YouTube got so bad in the past 18 months and not supporting my content so much anymore this is what was needed to get more traffic and views. TikTok mostly has been very supportive regarding my content and the great thing is that it was only performance content which did not get supported by YT so much. So all in all - great news. And no worries the guitar tutorials will remain on YT - or at least here in the same format on this website.

Hello Hanspeter, thank you for the tutorial! Seems actually to be linked to the wrong download... (Double Stop Madness) Maybe some error on my browser side? Greets, Roland

Here I show you some really beautiful minor blues guitar chords. Here you can download the files associated to this tutorial :

This course is there to help intermediate players to start working with modes, 3 note per string patterns, arpeggio's and economy picking in order to build up speed for really cool advanced rock guitar chops. If you have any questions or you want the community or me to monitor your progress please open up your students blog to document what you are currently working on and where you have your difficulties. https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/blogs/

Hey guys, here are now the August 24 news : First some general strategic news which was the center of the main work in the past weeks. I have redesigned a few of my many websites in order to put up my new online strategy which makes this website the center of all content which gets created and then this goes out to all other website automaticly which are landing pages for certain keywords such as " gitarren unterricht anfänger " as you can see here : https://gitarrist.ch/gitarrenunterricht-anfaenger.html All content which is marked with " guitar beginner " will be displayed automaticly there. Therefor I also made up my mind about music and AI and the future of music and I decided to push my brand " Farbmusik " more in front where there are no genres. Music is devided in categories of colors. All music which is marked with " gruen " as an example will be displayed automaticly on this page https://farbmusik.com/gruen.html . There is also an english page available here https://farbmusik.com/eng/green.html . The community tag for farbmusik in general is #farbmusik . This stategy is now a major shift in my online strategies. Was in fact a lot of work and a lot of analysis of the current online situation with AI and fast changing community guidelines to the disadvantage of Users. I want to remind you that the community guidelines on this website are short, transparent and for the benefit of all Users. You can read the current version of them here. https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/guidelines/ The goal of these changments is to get a healthy independant and sustainable system running for all fans of guitar playing, guitar music and also farbmusik. If you love the work here please support it with a premium membership even if you are not a regular user or don't have so much time for practicing guitar at the moment. https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/subscriptions/ I am not planing to change them much anymore. Short, transparent and fair. And so " Fair Use " is the motto of this community here. I also want to remind you to the referral system which is installed. You can use it for your personal benefit if you want to make a few bucks which you can redeem for any service on this website. You can read all about this service here : I have also a tiktok account for a while and the algorithm is making crazy jumps there but nevertheless I am approaching 1K followers which will make it eligible for monetization then. This account will be a " performance - only" channel - the eduction channel will stay on YouTube. You find the tiktok acount when you search for " hpcrazy " - it's the " hpcrazy73 " account. and now lets go on to the news in the Guitar Academy.

I love that style and I did some of my features with colors ( Farbmusik ) and those songs get played at the live concerts now by playing the guitar live. I have been working the entire year on creating a really expressive and warm guitar sound with my new guitar and I am finally there - you can hear it when you what my liveshow which are broadcasted live each time. The event is still small and am building up the whole thing but slowly the music is there where it should be and the liveaudience always loves the music and the colors. So here the 2 new songs : The Traveller : Here is a cinematic composition with the bass and the piano leading the melody through the piece. In a way, it is a piano concerto with cinematic elements. It is based on the style of Hans Zimmer. The piece represents the color " dark blue " Pandora : Here is a green piece which is supposed to reflect the wonderful atmosphere and the wonderful green of the fictitious planet “Pandora” from the movie Avatar. In the composition you can hear a piano playing the main melody, followed by an English horn and a cello. All mixed together to create this harmonious and wonderful green. the next liveshow where you can watch is on Aug 19th live in the small church in Seegräben in Switzerland. Starts at 8PM Zürich time.

Danke Dir - habe ich machen lassen. Eben mit so von Dir genannten LED Stripes und die Farbe lässt sich nahtlos verändern.

schön gemacht, LED Stribes eigenen sich da auch super, vor alldem kann da dann auch je nach Bedarf die Farbe eingestellt werden. mfg Christian

Don't miss the next fullmoon meditation piano concert on June 14th at 8:00 PM ( Zürich Time ) - if you are near Zürich on that day you might want to visit the concert in person. It starts at 8:00 PM in the small church in Seegräben. If you are not around Zürich you might want to watch the livestream. From the middle of the concert on the audience in the church or online can request for colors which I improvise together with the energies of that fullmoon in Sagetarius which is in square with Neptun.

What does the 432 Hz tuning mean ? The standard tuning of instruments is the concert pitch A. This tone is vibrating at 440 Hz. This is an international standard and the further tuning of each instrument is adjusted based on the concert pitch. With the 432 Hz tuning the concert pitch A is tuned to 432 Hz instead of 440. The other tones of an instrument are then adjusted accordingly. What is the difference between 432 Hz and 440 Hz tuning ? Dr. Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy, as well as other anthroposophists such as Maria Renold or Kathleen Schlesinger have done research on the 432Hz tuning and came to the conclusion that this tuning has an effect on the physical as well as mental well-being of people. Steiner established this connection before Winfried Otto Schuman, the founder of the Schumann Resonance, showed with the term earth resonance frequency that sounds can have a direct influence on the vibration of the earth. According to the findings of Steiner and other researchers, the 432 -tuning should have the following effects: Better physical relaxation Better mental relaxation Lightening of the mood More direct emotional influence Better contact with your own feelings Easier development and healing processes Feel music more than just listening to it These properties only correspond to empirical values and are not directly scientifically verifiable. Strictly speaking, one must therefore speak of an empirical science. However, many sources speak of the healing and relaxing effect of 432Hz music. Already Pythagoras defined the term sphere sounds and sphere harmony in connection with the vibrations of the planets. Nikolas Tesla also dealt with oscillation frequencies and fundamental vibrations in the universe. But similar to astrology, for example, these correlations can probably be established, but only in the sense of an experiential science. It is not possible to prove them physically, but through observation, experience and application, results are obtained which, through the sum of the experiences made, provide evidence of a connection. We represent the principle of quantum consciousness. Consciousness creates reality. This approach seems to be very aloof and far-fetched at first, but is again embedded in an experiential scientific framework. Interesting in this context is that Russian researchers, who have scientifically studied the properties of water, have proven that water and the structure of water can be changed by music, but also by the emotions and thoughts of people. Research has even shown that in the case of emotions and thoughts, the structure of water changes when the person who sent the thoughts and emotions was several thousand kilometres away. Since the human being consists of up to 75% water, it is obvious that the properties of water can be transferred to humans. Thoughts, emotions and focus have an influence on the near and far environment. Therefore the approach of quantum consciousness, i.e. the conscious emission and focusing of thoughts, emotions, images and colours is the relevant approach in the creation of colour music in general as well as in specific senses. We represent the principle of quantum consciousness. Consciousness creates reality. Russian researchers who have scientifically studied the properties of water have proven that water and the structure of water can be changed by music, but also emotions and thoughts. Research has even shown that in the case of emotions and thoughts the structure of water changed when the person who sent the thoughts and emotions was several 1000 km away. Since humans consist of up to 75% water, it is obvious that the properties of water can be transferred to humans. Therefore, the approach of quantum consciousness, the conscious emission of thoughts, emotions, images and colours in the creation of music is the approach that makes colour music and also 432 Hz meditation music what it is. Quantum consciousness in the 432 Hz music Consciousness creates reality : The principle of quantum consciousness also flows into the 432 Hz meditation music. How is this to be understood? By recording the music in a meditative state of relaxation, harmony and through appropriate colour visualisations, the music created in this way is inoculated with these qualities. The 432Hz tuning creates a harmonious framework in which the music and the inoculated properties can flow better. Therefore it is also important that the meditation music is recorded or played in a meditative state, with deep meditative breath. It is also important that a meditation CD or a meditation concert is played without interruption. This way the flow of colours and the flow of thoughts and feelings becomes freer and more harmonious. 432 Hz Piano Tuning With the 432 Hz piano tuning, the concert pitch A is tuned to 432 Hz and the entire piano is tuned according to the well-tempered tuning. There are still differences in the well-tempered tuning, which can vary slightly depending on the pianist or piano tuner, but this is the principle of the 432 Hz piano tuning. A piano tuned to 432 Hz sounds rounder, more harmonious and meditatively played piano on this tuning should facilitate and promote meditation and the harmonious flow of emotions. The crucial point, however, is that a piano tuned to 432 Hz is also played meditatively with the principles of Quantum Consciousness.

The fullmoon in Leo meditation concert on Feb. 16th will be played on guitar. I have a few inspirational idea's which work great for this concert and it will be played with a on 432 Hz tuned guitar. It will start at 8PM Zurich time. If you enter the chat you can interact with me during the concert which makes the concert a greater experience for everybody.

New camera I am going to get myself a new camera. A Canon HV30 - this is a high definition camera and will rise the quality of the videos. Then slowy I will start to shift this school to the new quality. I am sure you are going to love it. Becoming a tougher teacher Since I always have beeing a very easy going teacher always thinking that fun on the guitar must be first - I have decided to become much thougher by telling you how things are and what is really required to reach certain goals on the guitar. My own experience was that learning the guitar is not always fun. Sometimes you have to work hard to get to the next step and from my 10 years experience of teaching online has showed that I have to ask from you a similar things since you are expecting me to take you to that road I have be gone myself. Of course there is a difference having professional ambitions or if you are playing just for fun - but still some things have to be done and as you teacher I will give you detailed instructions what you have to do to become a better guitarplayer.
