About Me

Info:
I am a guitarist, living in Denmark, close to the city of Aalborg.
In the weeks to come, I will build up my site on my space.
Im working on an instrumental record, which I hope to finish, during the weeks to come.
I will upload tunes and pieces from it, to my space, from time to time.
I was born in the year 1974, and have been in love with the music, that can be played with a guitar, all my life. And I have always been listening to guitar-music.
As mentioned before, Im currently working on some of my own pieces of music, and some of it will appear on this space, in the weeks to come.
Im also a guitarist in the band "Suburbians", they can be visited here . Im looking forward to going into the studio with Suburbians, this summer.
Watch me live, playing guitar-solo with Suburbians:

This is a video filmed at a Suburbians concert. Its a song called "Not mine", written by Carl Dyer , the lead singer in Suburbians.
This is a tune with vocal, though the video shows the outro.
Gear:
Like many other guitarists, Im also addicted to certain types of equipment, so here it comes:
Ibanez guitars
Ibanez and Dimarzio pickups, and accessories
D´addario strings
Engl 1x12" combo amplifier and footswitch
A custom build 1x12" speaker cabinet
Morley wah and volume
Boss digital delay and noise suppressor
Ibanez chorus
(My main and mostly used gear. From time to time, Im using different effects devices, to achive the sound I want.)
Im using these tools, because they give me the opportunity to express my self freely, in the way I want to. They simply work perfectly.
I have received some questions, some of them about my guitars.
About the guitars:
I play Ibanez guitars, because I love them, they gives me the opportynity to express my self freely. But before I go into technical details, please let me tell you my point of view on guitars. A guitar is a tool, it´s a tool that can be played music with. For this to happen, it needs to be in the right condition. And the right condition is: Whats´s right for you. If you think your guitar is good, then it´s good. Please consider that, when you choose your guitar.
I have experienced players that played guitars, that I considered in so bad shape, that they needed to be repaired. But the music that the owners played on them, was so good, and really touching me. Of course that was good guitars for these players.
I have customized my guitars, and made some tweaks to them, to get the sound and functions unique for me. Also the neck, tremolo etc. are adjusted to my specifications.
I play guitars from the Ibanez RG series. They have the right neck, body and hardware for me. They can express so many nuances, and they are so expressive.
The pickups I´m using are: Dimarzio Tone zone (bridge) and Air Norton (neck). Ibanez V7, V8 and hopefully soon a modifyed V2.
The bridge´s are Ibanez Floyd rose.
I´m using D´addario EXL110 strings (0.010 to 0.046). They give me the right amount of body, warmth and sustain.
I can say all of the above, in a really short way: Ibanez makes the best guitars in the world!
I´m an endorser of:
