Classical precision meets uncompromising rock
on new album from world class guitarist. Steffen
Schackinger belongs to the absolute elite, and his
new album ‘Fire Dance’ takes his instrumental guitar
music to new heights.

With millions of views on YouTube, a worldwide tour
resume and international recognition as a top class
guitar player, Steffen Schackinger has established himself
as outstanding in his field.

His second solo album, Fire Dance, is no exception.
Steffen Schackinger combines precision and timing
from his background on the classical scene with the
uncompromising expression of rock music.

“I express myself through my guitar, as a singer does
with the voice and a painter with a brush. The strings
are not limited by language“, says Steffen Schackinger.
His first album earned him a spot on the prestigious
Guitar on the Edge top 50 of the world’s best guitarists
in 2010 ranking 15th. Since then he has been playing
guitar clinics throughout Europe and Asia. But now the
former Merzy guitarist is once again ready to hit the
stage.

The album Fire Dance is published by US label Candyrat
Records, and Steffen Schackinger is joined by
former Merzy bass player, Henrik Bjørn and drummer
Lars Daugaard of the Danish hit orchestra Gnags.

I remember watching "City lights" almost a decade ago, and I don't think there's been another guitarist on YouTube that made me feel the same way. You're what they call "a guitarist's guitarist". Candyrat thanks for the great content...

[cmotdibbler]

Sadly hardly any comments. Complete mastery of an instrument. A unique vision. Multiple keys, timing all over the place. Extraordinary

[deanthemadyorkshireman]

I think he is on another level above everybody, I cannot stop listening to this, brilliant!

[kjjmusic]

[Tiger]

This guy and his crew are friggin MONSTERS!

[jseemanmusic]

Steffen musically maturing as we all hoped and knew he would. Many blistering years left :-)

[nickolasg]

[thestatzman]

Steffen is back, and he brought a band with him!

[pascaljeanne]

what a sound what a feeling what a tone what a ...song, what a solo, man what everything !

[maxsteiner]

I feel jazz here. I want more. The precision of this guy is unbelivable. No hiding behind murky riffs or soundtraps. Pure skill. Well done sir.

Got the new cd yesterday....WOW!! Just a wonderful exultation in guitar artistry. Your timing just amazes me. You would think in the history of music that every combination of notes and timing would have been tried, composed and published. Then comes a guy like you and it is all fresh and new again. I just LOVE your music, Thank You.
