In 2018 i wrote an arrangement of this track for acoustic guitare ensemble (3 Guitares and acoustic Bass-Guitare). But since i am not in a musical asociation that could perform this with me, i had to record it myself.
I tried recording it with my electric guitare and with my Digitech RP 1000 multieffectpedal as an interface. And i simulated the Bass by pitching my guitare an octave down.

So it doesn't Sound as intended, but it gives at least an impression of what it could be.

I hope you enjoy it :)

uhm, this time i just wrote a song. i liked the mysterious sound of the starting riff. Then i wrote some other parts, merged them together and done. 

Although i experimented with a new play style in the second half of the song. There i slapped and strummed the guitar while picking it, so you get a percussive element. It´s a bit tricky, since i directly had to pick the notes after the slap/ strumming, so yeah. That´s something i guess.

it´s pure finger picking this time, no plectrum. 

Equipment: Me (the Player), My steelstring guitar (Takamine P1DC SM), my mobile for recording and Audacity Software for editing.

A Mystery To Uncover

oof ... well that was some work. I had the initial idea for this song/ motifs some years ago (Probably around 2017/18 i guess). I wrote down what i had back then, but didn´t know how to continue. Some days ago i rediscovered it and decided to finish the concept(that's why it's just a guitar track ... as usual).

If you consider my previous upload (Into the mountain woods) you could say, that this track might be the sequel to it.  You know. Last time we had to go through a mysterious forest to reach a castle on the mountains. Now, heavily exhausted we arrived at the castle and have to keep on. 
But maybe i´m just making this up to give this track some context ;D

Nevertheless, it somehow sounds motivational, "against all the odds" like. Therefore i thought of this title.

Hope you enjoy :)

Keep Fighting

Well ... this is also an old concept, probably from 2016/2017. I wrote it down for the Band in which i played at that time. But since we parted shortly after that, it never came to finishing the song. 

Like the previous upload (Keep Fighting) i rediscovered it in my notes and recorded the riffs i wrote down back then to get a rough track of the concept at least. It's just plain guitar as usual.
Around 3 Minutes i added a second guitar to make it a little more exciting.

And to be honest, the sweeping parts were not recorded in full speed because i have been too lazy to practise them.

Hope you enjoy it nonetheless ^^

Was Ist Denn Mit Karsten Los

I am a Guitar Player who finally decided to share his musical ideas. I have been playing only "for myself" for long years now. But maybe some of you might like my style or even find inspiration in my work. 
[PS: As you can see, i tend to write a lot especially regarding description texts. So i recommend to read through my song descriptions! Might also inspire some of the aspiring musicians here :)]

I first started off as a classical guitarist being in training for around 10 years. I have been a junior student at the university of music in Saarbrücken (Germany) or "HfM SAAR" for around three years whilst still visiting Upper School/ my A-Level/ Senior Classes.
At this time i also joined a metal band of school colleagues where i attempted to learn electric guitare and metal/metalcore/ Deathcore style. 
I have also been playing in diverse orchestras and ensembles for guitare and plucked string instruments. On federal state level i played for the "Saarländisches Jugendzupforchester" and "Saarländisches Jugendgitarrenorchester" (Saarland - Germany). And i played in local Asociations like "Gitarrenchor Wiebelskirchen" and "Gitarrenchor Bous".

Around two years ago i bought an acoustic steel string guitare (Takamine P1DC SM) and started to learn a new Style. First i reached for iconic Guitarists like Tommy Emmanuel, Nick Drake and Chet Atkins. 

But now i am on my journey to discover my own style. On Acoustic guitare i try to get as much out of pure Plectrum Playing as i can get, or arrange some random pieces for classical Guitare (Solo or Ensemble).
On my electric Guitare i indulge to a Style i like to refer to as "Joshcore."
