Frank Bungarten (born 6 May 1958) is a classical guitarist from Germany. Although he is often regarded as a Bach expert on the guitar, Bungarten plays a wide and diverse repertoire. Born in Cologne, Bungarten first came in touch with the guitar aged ten. His first teacher was Paraguayan virtuoso Carlos Baez, then a temporary resident in the Rhineland. As a teenager he played in a school band. He had an early passion for jazz and taught himself tenor and soprano saxophone. Despite his later career as a classical musician, he has always regarded John Coltrane as one of his towering influences. Later he has played the saxophone with his group "Extempore", including engagements in radio productions, festivals and jazz clubs. Bungarten studied the guitar at the Academy of Music, Cologne, where he studied with Karl-Heinz Bottner and Hubert Käppel. He also attended a master class with Oscar Ghiglia in Italy.
