Due to some demands for staff-notation of my songs i decided to bring out some songbooks with staff-notation as well as TABs and chordsheets. Those are available in my online-shop now.

Songbook 1 with 19 tunes hold a great part of tunes that were written between1982 and 2020. The Songbook 2 in comparison contains newer compositions that were made between 2020 and today. Mostly these are Jazz-tunes but also some Solo-pieces for guitar.

More Infos on the Songbooks right here.
