Shaul was born in Israel in Beer Sheva in 1961,
while still a young boy he became interested in playing the guitar. He
began playing professionally at age 10, was influenced by, and learned
the musical styles of rock, jazz, blues and Israeli music. At the age of
15 he appeared on stage and combined singing, and had already begun to
develop the tapping method, playing the guitar like piano, bass,
harmony and melody all at once. For 10 years he almost completely
stopped playing the conventional method and began to play the songs he
loved, only in tapping style.
He currently plays with three unique bands, 'Trio Tapping band'
accompanied by bass, drums, and a more full band with a singer where you
can see Shaul tapping with a full accompaniment. Another band is more
folkloristic accompanied by accordion and percussion.
Currently we are filming a master class with Shaul. In this video you
will see Shaul playing different styles on his guitar, that will soon be
available.
