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!

I really like your new homepage!
This is excellent work and finally Google is starting to reward the quality of your work with keyword rankings.
Good News!

By the way: The personal links are a great idea.

Kind Regards, Roland

Mmmm didn’t think, realize Comping applied to other music types such as country, rock etc…assumed that would entail simply a repetitive chord progression…

Excellent……love this…..easy to find your way around as to what you have made available…..mmmm on another note, I looked for something on “comping” but could not find such an exercise, do you have such a tutorial?
Kind regards

Here I composed a cinematic blues rock original which also falls into the Farbmusik genre. It's a dark red. The task was to get a hypnotic sound with one guitar riff and to build up the whole tune and add one element after each other. You can hear 4 guitars in the stereo field. One has a swampy tremolo effect and the other 2 guitars have a creamy distortion which fits to the drop D tuning the guitars are using. The lead guitar is a sound where I use some really wide multidelays to create such a wide sound. The task is to play the lead guitar really precise because there are so many delay effects on it.
On the FX section you here gunshots in the background which go alone with the title of the song and I love to add cinematic string orchestra arrangements which pull the tune into more emotions and expression.
Here you find a tutorial if you like to play this song yourself. There you can download the original soundtrack of this tune if you love it.

It was really about time that I overworked the entire website now and made the whole thing as compact and cooperate identity look style as possible. Now I am proud to announce that the new website is online now.
Check : http://www.hanspeterkruesi.com
The idea was always to pull all my services and all my work to one website and now it's done. One of the main hard tasks was that there are in fact so many services and projects. They are still all out there but all roads and links will now lead to this website here.
This important update is also part of my new strategy I worked on since more than one year to free myself from all social media plattforms. I don't believe that they will have a consistant future as they had in the past. Many users are upset by them changing community guidelines all the time only for their advantage and the abuse of there personal data on this plattforms. Here on this website your personal data is completly save and will never be used for something else then the monthly newsletter and you can completly delete your data anytime.
Also digital music distribution is overgoing dramatic changes. Spotify announced that only artists over 1000 streams per song will get any royalities payed out. Then earning of the artists which are below that will go to the bigger artists. That's something I can not support anymore. And there are now more and more restrictions for artist who want to distribute there music in Spotify and other plattforms.
I will do special edition distribution here on this website - for music which is not allowed in the official stores anymore or just because I want to make my music faster available for users. So this is a major shift in my online and digital strategies. And as a personal note - when Facebook and co came up I knew this would not lead to something good and it was in fact a mistake to spend so much time keeping up on social media strategies. In these days the situation has changed so much that the ammount of time you have to spend to reach as much people as before as exceeded a healthy balance in the workflow.
So this website is now my personal anwser to the developments which started to go in the wrong direction since 2018.

Perfect…..thank you!

Ueberall auf der Welt wird so viel gestritten und Krieg geführt. Hier ein Stück als einen kleinen Beitrag zum Frieden.
Hier habe ich angelehnt an den Stil von Hans Zimmer eine cinematische Komposition umgesetzt, welche auch live mit etwas Gitarreneffekten gespielt werden wird. Die Tonart F# Moll ist sehr emotional und ausdrucksstark und passend zur Farbe " Violett ". Den Titel habe ich angelehnt an eine Szene aus Kevin Costners Film " Postman " genommen.

Everywhere in the world there is so much fighting and war. Here is a piece as a small contribution to peace.
Here I have created a cinematic composition based on the style of Hans Zimmer, which will also be played live with some guitar effects. The key of F# minor is very emotional and expressive and matches the color "violet". I based the title on a scene from Kevin Costner's movie "Postman".

Lovely spot...reminds me of our Canadian lakes.....Thank you for sharing.. it is thoughtful, encouraging and engaging.

Disappointing and very aggravating!

I want to share this recording I did a few days ago. This was a spontanious improvisation after recording a jazz guitar tutorial with the backing track I created for that tutorial :
 
The special thing of this recording is that I have been working for many months on a new jazz guitar style in my process of redefining my way of making music and improvising. I originaly studied jazz guitar but through my many years being an online instructor I have be drawn much into blues and rock guitar because these are the popular genres. I felt now that I want to bring more jazz vibes into my guitar style in performances and I feel like I found my new style a bit. It's a combination from the great styles of Miles Davis, George Benson and Thelonious Monk. In this improvisation I could break free from concepts, patterns and licks and just go for a sponatious creation of jazz - that's the reason why I enjoy this recording so much and there will be more to come.
 

I recently purchased the Guitar Pro software so I would be very interested in the related files.
