10 albums that influenced me the most - 2nd place out of 10
Gary Moore - Run For Cover
- The Best Of The Best -

If a guitarist has shaped my style, it is Gary Moore. The left-hander with the right-hander guitar impressed with the very rare ability to convert extreme shredding into alternate picking and still come up with goose bumps melodies and the strongest tone of the solo guitar that had to be produced. I especially liked the track “Out In The Fields”, for the solo of which I practiced for over a year until I could finally play it. In the course of time, different cover versions hit me all the worse, in which the respective guitarists tried their hand at the solo and all failed miserably. By the way, personally I always found his economically much more successful blues phase mercilessly boring, sorry …

So, once again, I guess for for the tenth time now, new live shows for July, which have not been canceled so far. Keep your fingers crossed!

10 albums that influenced me the most - 3rd place out of 10
Deep Purple - Made In Japan
- Vocals From Outer Space -

Ritchie Blackmore always annoyed me personally. Yes, I know Guitar-Hero blablabla, but I only liked him as a songwriter, never as an instrumentalist. What moved me to one open mouth with Made-In-Japan, however, was Ian Gillan’s vocal performance on “Child In Time”. I didn’t realize until then that a man could sing so high and with such pressure. In particular, the second increase in the main melody line blew my imagination. And all of this without floor monitors or let alone inear systems. One of the records that laid the basis for some of the jambands that I later played in.

Jeff Beck - Guitar Shop
- Jeff Beck, who else? -

Nobody, really nobody, plays like Jeff Beck! There is hardly a second guitarist with whom the discrepancy between the subjectively recognized level of difficulty and the actual implementation are as diametrically different as his.

Jeff Beck’s performance was particularly volantile in the past, i.e. on a bad day you could leave the concert a little earlier, on a good day he played everything in sackcloth. I had the pleasure to hear him together with Terry Bozzio and Tony Hymas on the accompanying tour in the Dortmund Westfalenhalle, which gave the songs an extra punch.

The 76-year-old vegetarian who doesn’t age is probably the only guitarist in the world who manages to make me crying fits with a comparatively “simple” melody on “Where Were You”. But be careful, many have already tried to play this melody, no one has succeeded! Anyone who tries to copy Jeff Beck can only lose …
