Peter Autschbach (born 1961 in Siegen, West Germany) is a German composer, guitarist and music teacher.
Peter Autschbach learned to play the guitar being autodidact, in 1988/89 he was a private student of jazz guitarist Joe Pass.
[3] The duo was invited by the German fingerstyle guitarist Peter Finger to join the "International Guitar Night" tour in 2011 and 2018.
[4] On December 14, 2019, Samira Saygili and Peter Autschbach won the first prize in the "Best Singer" category and an award in the special category "Best Guitarist" with the song "Holobiont" (music: Peter Autschbach, lyrics: Samira Saygili) at the event "Deutscher Rock und Pop Preis" (German Rock and Pop prize).
It includes nine originals, a cover of the song "Love Games" by the band Level 42 and a rendition of the Hendrix-classic "Little Wing".
[11] The textbook "Gitarre lernen mit Zacky und Bob" for children aged eight and over, published by Schott Music in 2016, teaches playing on the entire fretboard right from the start, so that the guitar can be experienced as a whole.
Autschbach's interpretations of well-known songs are integrated in this recognizable style of composition by using reharmonization and often a new rhythmic approach.
