In 2026, Uli Jon Roth celebrates two landmark albums that helped redefine the language of the electric guitar. The anniversary performances bring this music into the present — not as nostalgia, but as a living artistic statement.
A singular voice whose phrasing, tone and harmonic imagination influenced generations of players.
Music, painting, philosophy and a lifelong artistic vision form one interconnected body of work.
A musical innovator whose Sky Guitar expanded the electric guitar’s range, colour and expressive possibilities.
Uli’s creative work extends far beyond the stage. Painting, writing, instrument design and the sharing of artistic knowledge are not side projects, but essential expressions of one interconnected body of work.
For decades, Uli has created original oil paintings inspired by music, mythology, light and transformation. Alpha Imagination presents this visual work as an immersive virtual walk through five decades of images and inspiration.
In Search of the Alpha Law is the culmination of more than fifty years of personal philosophical inquiry. The signed English artist edition combines reflections on life, music and the human soul with more than 1,000 original images and diagrams designed by Uli.
Founded by Uli Jon Roth in 2006, Sky Academy is far more than a guitar seminar. It explores music as an art form, a universal language and a path towards discovering one’s own creative potential.
Uli does not teach musicians to imitate his playing. He encourages them to listen more deeply, move beyond familiar patterns and awaken their own artistic voice.
“The purpose of Sky Academy is not to create copies. It is to help awaken the unique artist who already exists within each person.”
The Sky Guitar was born from artistic necessity. When Uli’s musical imagination moved beyond the range and expressive limits of the conventional electric guitar, he chose not to restrict the music—he transformed the instrument itself.
Conceived in 1982, its extended range, distinctive construction and orchestral spectrum allow it to move from the depth of a cello register to the highest, most luminous notes of a violin.
“I designed the Sky Guitar in order to enable me to do things that were previously impossible on traditional guitars.”
