Hello, I’m Axel Wehning.
I started learning the guitar at the age of eight—and I’ve been fascinated by this instrument ever since. My passion for the guitar, the wonderful learning environment (a huge thank you to my teachers Ahmet Ünal and Hans Irmer!), and my determination led to competition successes in Jugend musiziert and the international Anna Amalia Competition.

My Musical Journey
I used to spend hours lost in the guitar—alone or with various ensembles. Soon, I began experimenting with notation software and constantly came up with new ideas for fantastic pieces that could be played on the guitar. Back then, I didn’t yet have the practical experience to realize that many of these ideas were just dreams.
Every style of music involving the guitar fascinated me. Early on, I even tried teaching myself Flamenco—using Flamenco schools and YouTube—but Flamenco proved to be a formidable challenge.
Studies & Formation
These experiences shaped me musically and inspired me to pursue formal studies in music—the Bachelor’s in Wuppertal (Germany) with Gerhard Reichenbach and the Master’s in Lucerne (Switzerland) with Andreas von Wangenheim.
My time in school pulled me back from daydreaming into reality and showed me what is truly possible on the guitar. During this period, I continued creating many arrangements and transcriptions, driven by the desire to play wonderful music from other instruments on the guitar—but always with the goal of making them realistically playable.
Present Day
Today, I work as a passionate guitar teacher.
On this website and my YouTube channel, I share my arrangements and transcriptions—created both from my own passion and for my students and friends—so that you can enjoy them too.
Some of the arrangements are specially adapted to my students’ skill levels, so they too can play the music they love.

My Goal
The transcriptions are designed to be highly faithful and easy to read, and the arrangements are meant to sound as if they were originally composed for guitar.
