Artist History At the beginning of the nineties he came in touch with Irish guitar music in open tunings and concentrated himself exclusively on this style of playing on the acoustic guitar. Especially English guitar wizard Martin Simpson influenced his playing a lot. Workshops with Peter Finger in 1996 and with Werner Lämmerhirt one year later inspired Christian to compose solo pieces in open tunings.
