General Info : Tankred was born in Germany in 1980, and took his first guitar lessons
at
the age of thirteen. After several years he started to play in some
local
bands, actually playing drums in a thrash metal band called Witchburner
from
1996 to 1998. Tankred recorded two CDs with Witchburner, but later quit
the
band and rediscovered guitar. In 1999, he moved to Egypt, where he took
lessons and played sessions at the Cairo Jazz club. In 2000, Tankred
returned to Germany and since then has been playing for his entirely
self-produced and recorded solo projects. Best counts among his
strongest
influences players such as Michael Schenker, Joe Satriani, Marty
Friedman
and Steve Vai, but also listens to other musicians in a wide variety of
genres.
