All the great players like Clapton, B.B. King, Albert Collins; Jethro Tull, Allman Brothers;Jeff Beck, Albert Lee
later some more Jazz/Fusion orientiented Guitarists like Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, Mike Stern, John Scofield. Also to mention: the great Johnny A. from Boston.
Since ten years I study some great acoustic guitarists like Woody Mann, Eric Lugosch,Tim Sparks, Pat Kirtley,ThomasKleemaier, Willie Salomon ,Don Ross; some Jazz Players like Martin Taylor or Peter Autschbach.
I visited several workshops with these guys and also organize some "Acoustic Guitar Weekends" since 2005 - see:http://www.awo-bb-tue.de/seiten/download/2013_veranst.pdf

If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
The former rhythm section of Robben Ford (Tom Brechtlein/Drums + Roscoe Beck/Bass)-
never heard any better drummer + bassplayer for this musical style..
Also a session with the Neville Brothers would be a great pleasure....

What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
The greater audiences might be some hundred people at local festivals;
with SOULED OUT we had a lot of very nice gigs - especially in March 2011 in Sindelfingen,
where we produced a Live-DVD....

You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
I would take "Black Key Blues", an acoustic guitar album by Chicagos Fingerstyle-Master ERIC LUGOSCH - very nice and elaborated stuff. I work on this compositions for years now,
its great fun. Eric is a good friend of mine now - I like his special treatment to all kind of american music styles. Most of it traditional stuff, but he puts some real sophisticated/tasteful arrangements to it.
