Influences: As a guitar player, my influences are of course Jimi, Hank Marvin and Mark Knopfler for startes. Since then Eric Johnson, Dick Dale, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Brian Setzer and David Gilmour have also contributed a lot to my sound and playing style. Other favourites includes: The Allman Brothers Band, The Hellecasters (John Jorgenson, Jerry Donahue and Will Ray), PINK FLOYD, The Beatles, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, The Who, Johnny Cash, Sheryl Crowe, Tom Petty, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the psycedelia bands from the 60´s like The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Band etc, Neil Young, AC/DC, The Stones, classic rock from the 50´s (so many names), and so on... I am also influenced by norwegian guitarplayers such as Øystein Sunde, Lars H. Haugen, the late Marius Müller, Vidar Busk, Knut Reiersrud, and Terje Rypdal. I also enjoy listening to norwegian bands and artists, such as DeLillos, DumDumboys, The Respatexans, Hellbillies, Big Bang, Beat Tornados, Los Plantronics, Motorpsycho/The International Tussler Society, Odd Nordstoga and others.
Sounds Like: Hopefully I sound like myself.
