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 Bögershausen is a perfectionist, something which becomes clear when listening closely to his articulate, sensitive finger work. Nothing is coincidental, despite possible indications to the contrary. Every note has a subtly lighter or more forceful impact precisely because he has decided it so; because it makes sense for this song. The melody floats freely on the accompaniment almost as if he is plucking with 2 right hands and chording with 2 lefts”. Markus Hoppe [2]

In 2014 was honoured with an "Ulli Boegershausen signature guitar". [3]

Ulli was mentoring Sungha Jung, a teenage fingerstyle guitar prodigy from Korea for the past 10 years. Sungha plays many of Ulli’s compositions like “Daybreak in May”. [4]


“Ulli Boegershausen needs no further introduction. His name is synonymous with subtle, sensitive acoustic guitar music.” (Rolf Beydemüller, FOLKER 10/2017)
