Axel Schultheiss: Ethereal Performance

Here’s guitarist Axel Schultheiss from Germany with a song entitled “Magic Hour” which features a fingerstyle guitar performance that I think a lot of you here will appreciate.

Yea there’s some fast phrases and lines here, but mostly Axel’s creation of a mood which is very ethereal takes center stage.

Here’s another Axel Schultheiss from video with a song entitled “Spiral Dance” which is an example of acoustic guitar with the use of digital delay and loops. This video of all of his (as far as I know) has the most views so far.

It’s almost hard to tell what part(s) of this are delayed and which is from loops. But one thing is for certain- the use of these devises creates a soundscape that otherwise is not possible on the acoustic guitar.

“Axel Schultheiss – a soundtrip on acoustic guitar – contemplative, evocative and mesmerizing music on acoustic guitar combined with multiple delays and loops.

The studio version of “Spiral Dance” can be heard on my album “Free Mind” ( acoustic 
music records ). 

See a transcription of this composition in my book “Kreative Wege” ( Acoustic Music / Fingerprint ). This version was recorded live in Karlsruhe, Germany”
