Together with his old friend Manfred Brietzke Peter had a guitar duo, started in 1982, doing concerts. The duo was later expanded to a trio via inclusion of Peter’s ex-student Ulli Fischer and renamed The Real Guitarists. This trio had many successful gigs and kept Peter’s musical goals in perspective as they were making no compromise in what music they were playing – and audiences actually liked it. The Real Guitarists were playing originals and also tunes by John McLaughlin, Larry Coryell, classical adaptions such as the Sabre Dance and whacky Christmas tunes including three part harmony singing.
