At the end of the day, I am a guitar player at heart. And this instrumental version of the great ZZ TOP Rock ballad ‘Rough Boy’ from their 1985 album 'Afterburner' is yet another song project that takes me back to my musical roots. This cover version got an 80s Hard Rock vibe in the course of...

This song has probably been covered 1 million times - for good reasons ;) Since I've been very influenced by Gary Moore's playing style over the years, the outro solo on "Still Got The Blues" is probably THE outro solo of my life. The following recording was taken in the rehearsal room a while...

"Slow Dancing In A Burning Room" - just the title of the song from John Mayer's third studio album "Continuum" makes you sit up and take notice. And if you listen more intensively to the vocal song, which is appreciated by many musicians, you will find this assumption confirmed. And it's not...

Thematically, this shuffle blues rock song is a kind of road movie and mental cinema at the same time; and this time it really didn't fall into my lap. Irrespective of this, playing the slide guitar hasn't let go of me here either. In my opinion, it creates a special atmosphere that can also...

It has always been curious for me how sometimes an original song idea develops its own dynamic in the subsequent implementation process when writing a song, and thus the song moves in a noticeably different direction. That's what happened to me this time with the new original “On Your Own”...

One Day - Gary Moore: Does anyone know the song? Even though I'm a big Moore fan, I have to admit that I only recently discovered it by accident. And there are no Live-recordings on YT to be found. In terms of chord material, it is a bit similar to "Still Got The Blues". I liked the song right...

Together with my musician friends Jimmy Quango (on acoustic guitar) and The Gaugolon Orchestra (orchestral instrumentation) I interpreted this old pop song from the early 80s in a new way. I recorded the vocals and all the other instruments and did the mixing / mastering and video creation...

This vocal driven original song is a new project with my dear musician friend Jimmy Quango. He contributed the soulful acoustic guitar playing. The song arrangement, the vocals and the other instruments come from me. I have to admit that there is not that much guitar work in it. The guitar...

Dear friends, after I had some serious troubles with my account, I am now able to login and post new content again  :occasion14: This new Moonchild-cover (originally from 1976) is in honor and in memory of Rory Gallagher - to me, one of the greatest blues rock singer / songwriter and guitarists...

I accidently stumbled over this great pop song from the early 70s, written by Todd Rundgren. He also had some success as a Producer, mainly in the 70s/80s with the release of several albums from Grand Funk Railroad, Meat Loaf and Hall&Oates. For fans of live recordings there is a very nice...

If you are willing to listen to an instrumental song without any electric guitar notes this could be one for you :icon_biggrin: My new tune is more about atmosphere rather than a speed acrobatic exercise. The main song instruments are an acoustic guitar (Godin S6 Seagull) and an electric piano...

Shortly before end of year, I managed to finalize a cover version of this great 60s hit from the British Progressive Rock / Blues Rock / Psychedelic Rock - Band Procol Harum. A Whiter Shade Of Pale from 1967 (!!!) was with no doubt their biggest hit. And this song has gained some world wide...

This new song is about the Fool inside all of us ... and as always: fallen out of time  :icon_biggrin: At the very beginning there was just the idea to make a song with a nice shuffle beat which I have always liked a lot. I've got some inspiration from 70s/80s shuffle songs like "If This Is It"...

Well, my personal ARS-story is obviously not over yet ... and honestly speaking: I haven't searched for this song. This song has found me somehow :icon_biggrin: The Eufaula-album was ARS's last album with new songs (8 new ones and 3 songs from former albums) where the long time singer and...

Hi all good guitar fellows, I just finished this new vocal song in a "Funky-Philly-70s-80s-Pop-Disco"-style :icon_biggrin: I recorded all vocals & instruments. The guitar tracks are played with my moded JTV69 with a Warmoth roasted maple neck (Wizard profile with stainless steel frets) on a...

Hi folks, I wanted to write a new song with a bit more tonal complexity. I think the tune has gotten some Jazz Rock / Fusion vibe. If you want to go grazy: Have a closer look to the attached chord progression  :icon_biggrin: I indulged that genre with passion in the 70s as a bass player...

Well, as promised, my Atlanta Rhythm Section journey keeps going ... ... even if not in the original way :icon_biggrin: The reason for that was my research for the Spooky original, where I accidentally stumbled across the Classics IV and some of their nice and heartbreaking tunes from end of...

I recorded this Pop song already last year (all vocals, instruments) on my own. But my lead vocals never convinced me. They were just not good enough to add the necessary atmosphere and to interpret the lyrics in an appropriate way. So to me, this song project came to a not very satisfying...

This song has attracted me for years and I think this is a great guitar instrumental masterpiece. And many guitar players try to cover it along their guitar journey ... My first attempt 7 years ago quite failed. Retrospectively I think this was just above my former playing capabilities. The...

In the early 80s, I used to play with my Top40 Band in Clubs of American military bases quite frequently. This was mainly on weekends. On Saturdays we started our show at 8 pm, running 5 sets of 45 minutes with 15 minute breaks in between. And sometimes we only played for the barkeeper ...
