It was expected that after graduating from the gymnasium, Wolf would enter and be engaged in decent work. How he became a guitarist in the rock band Hoffmann himself does not know.

I grew up in a learned family, receiving good, if not best education. And I was expected to go to university and become a marriage lawyer, an engineer, or maybe a physicist. So what happened?

He connected it to old tube radios, which quickly broke down, so he had to advertise for the purchase of such rarities.

"Do you want the truth? It's a funny story. The guitar I've barely ever used in the studio is a Flying V. Most people think I'll stick with it. But I mostly used it on stage because it looks cool. Guitar good, and the sound is ok, but there are better guitars for the studio.
