German Schauss
With dizzying precision and graceful agility, German Schauss takes us on a journey through the outer limits of sound through mind blowing guitar playing and melodic guitar lines soaring through stratospheric heights against the gravity of a rich and complex orchestral score. German fuses the classical influences of Bach, Beethoven and Chopin with modern instrumental rock guitar music through epic music structures and lush soundscapes.Â
As a performer, composer and educator, German is involved in various musical endeavors, including being a sideman to popular artist, his solo instrumental rock project, teaching at Berklee College of Music, writing books/videos for major publishing companies such as Alfred Publishing, conducting clinics and workshops, and composing music for TV and commercials.Â
His best selling books and videos include: Shredding Bach, Shredding Paganini, Shredding the Composers, Serious Shred Techniques, and Speed Guitar.Â
German writes the popular monthly guitar column "Instant Shredding" in Germany's biggest guitar magazine "Gitarre & Bass." He is a 5 time recipient of the ASCAP Plus Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. The July 2008 Issue of Guitar World Magazine listed German as one of the fastest Guitarist of all time.
