WELCOME TO MY WORLD
My story so far...
At the Age of 16 I began to play guitar with my first band. My attempt to get experience by playing the classical guitar was stopped by the volume of the others. The self built pick-up didn’t help much. So I was told to either get an E-Guitar as quickly as possible or to leave. I decided to take the first option. While getting rid of my classical guitar I also left behind my fear of working with the plectrum-technique.
This experience had the advantage, that after only three months I left the band because it had become too easy. At the same time, now at the age of 18, I took Jazz lessons. My first Highlight was the Jazz-Standard "Autumn leaves". But only the visit at the Jazz festival in Montreux really lit my love for the Jazz-guitar.
After the basic practice in Jazz- and classical guitar I applied for the "Swiss Jazz School" in Bern where I had to pass an entry exam. Five years of education followed, during which I had the opportunity to join my teachers Andy Scherrer, U. Arlati, Joe Haider and Ch. Baader for Live acts which gave me the experience necessary for my further musical career. My diploma since then, is hidden in the cupboard. Learning by doing is still my daily business. read more »

Guitarists - My influences
Just like the four cardinal points, four different guitar players influenced me and set off emotions in me, which I would like to express musically.
ANDRES SEGOVIA
The Master of classical guitar. His person and his technique fascinated me from the very beginning.
JOE PASS
The "Star" on the Jazz guitar. He is the absolute perfection on the instrument. I was lucky too meet up with him for some small-talk and to see him in "live and solo" before his death.
JIMI HENDRIX
E-Guitar from a different planet. So much has been written about him already. He will always be a fascination for me which influenced me decisively.
FRANK ZAPPA
The ingenious fusion of musician and composer, bandleader and mentor.
Other guitarists
DAVE GILMOUR (Pink Floyd)
At the age of 12 I heard "Dark Side of the Moon". From there onwards I knew what I wanted: The Guitar!
KEITH RICHARDS (Rolling Stones)
Technical prestidigitation and criticism one way or another. The "on-stage" presents and 50 years of experience are unique.
