Influences: Who am I: I'm a 32 year old musician, heralding from the deep forests of Northern Sweden. My style ranges from rock to jazz, from metal to fusion and something in between. I've released a critically acclaimed instrumental album (FretDance, 2003), and have held popular guitar clinics in both Sweden and Japan. I'm currently working on a full-length guitar instructional DVD entitled Electric Guitar Concepts.
I'm also sponsored by remarkable Flaxwood Guitars from Finland. For more of them, click the Flaxwood banner on the right, or go to www.flaxwood.com
I'm also avaliable for studio work, clinic/workshops, as well as lessons through www.fretdance.com For sample lessons, visit www.shredacademy.com, and for videos see the player, below or visit www.fretdance.com

Some excerpts from comments and reviews about my music:
Guitarheroes.com (Album review):
"It is well done, melodious, and interesting ... would sweden become the new promise land ?â€
Greg Howe:
"Very accurate and passionate bends/vibrato – Great technique overall – Tone is very clean and appealing – Great use of altered or “alternative to the obvious†scales – Phrases are very confident, accurate, and musical"
Brett Garsed:
"I checked out your songs and have to say that it's just great playing and writing mate! Really big tone too."
Young Guitar, Japan (Clinic review):
"... Devout guitarlovers united to see the playing-demonstrations and questions and answers where alternated between songs. The participants were from beginning to end overwhelmed by the actual playing, and the combination of questions and a very high level lecture was transcending."
XA-metal, Japan (Clinic review):
"I went to see Richard Lundmarks guitar clinic, a guitarist from Sweden that is well
known amongst guitar freaks around the world. He has also released a guitar
instrumental album, FRETDANCE. The content of the clinic was aimed for middle to advanced level players (little bit hard for beginners). The improvisation play was really awesome and the place was filled with excitement!â€
Sweden Rock Magazine (Album review):
"Richard is a fenomenal guitarist with a good grasp of both technique and feel. He has a nice tone and a cool style."
