Ulli Bögershausen

Ulli Boegershausen (born 1954 in Rheda Wiedenbrueck) is a German solo guitarist and guitar teacher. He is known internationally for his tours in Japan, America and Taiwan. He also authored several educational books for guitar playing.

Boegershausen started classical guitar music education at the age of 9. He played electric guitar in several music bands and further started academic studies for music teacher but did not finish.[1]

He lives with his family close to Goettingen, Lower Saxony, Germany.

Ulli Boegershausen prefers playing steel string guitars, which - by a more acute tonal differentiation - give complex melodies and rhythms improved transparency. He likes to use the long lasting, singing tune of that instrument as compositional element. Ulli plays a Lakewood Guitars Ulli Boegershausen Signature model. After receiving millions of views for his YouTube videos Ulli's compositions and arrangements are played by many guitarists all over the world. His original "It Could Have Been" is on its way to become one of the most popular guitar songs ever.

Ulli was mentoring Sungha Jung, a teenage fingerstyle guitar prodigy from Korea for the past 10 years.
