My singer-songwriter hobby

I have been playing the guitar since 1968. Before that, four and a half years of violin. I taught myself the guitar. And always asked good guitarists for a while to show me more. The result is a very special way of picking the strings.

Usually the words come first, and the rhythm and melody of the rhymes lead me to the song.

Sometimes I also find beautiful poems to which there is no melody. Then I make my own song out of it. Like “Am Abend”. Of course, there are also many songs – English, German, Italian, Spanish – that I like so much that I make my own version of them.

You can hear me sometimes live or on YouTube in my channel. I have linked a few examples on this page.
