Pierre Pihl: Lap Tapping and Feet Bass!

Pierre Pihl
Pierre Pihl is a fingerstyle guitarist from Cologne, Germany. His hallmark is the"Laptapping&feetbass". It means he plays the guitar on his lap with tapping the strings, while he plays the bass guitar with his feet. The 23 year old sport student came up with the idea, just so, during a lesson". Lately he picked up a third guitar, which he plays with only one hand. "You have to tap strong and on the right spot", is his advice.

Since he started playing "Laptapping&feetbass", a lot has changed. He have been featured on German TV and on guitar magazines. In spite of his impressive playing, he wants his music to be focused on. "Improvisation and intuition", these are the keywords for the young guitarists concerts. "Music has to be personal and telling", reports the German.

"Melancholic and self-reflecting", is the way Pierre Pihl describes his music. Due to the Bass guitar, his hands are free and are not bound to play the key notes, as regular guitar players are.
He is supported by his friend and luthier Christian Stoll from "Stoll Guitars". "He was the first to give me a chance, to seriously play music in front of people", says Pierre. Over the time "AER", a german amplifier company, "Aguilar", a bass amplifier company, "Elixir", a string manufacturer and even the socket company "Hudson" started supporting Pierre on his way.  With his unique style, Pierre Pihl claims to be one of the most spectacular guitar players. Music, that has to be seen.
