Georg has been playing in local groups for 40+ years. He started playing clubs & bars in the late ‘60s: Rock & Roll, Blues, British Blues Invasion (Peter Green and Eric Clapton have been, and still are major influences of his). Hank Marvin was another influence and back then Georg was well known for his clean & ringing Stratocaster tone.
