Thomas Gunillasson

Born and raised in Kiruna as a son of a miner, I picked up the electric guitar at age 9. I was heavily into pop music at the time (still am) wanting to learn the sounds of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Later on in my teens I developed an interest in heavy rock and metal music which led me to join a couple of metal and rock bands in Kiruna. At 15 I started studying jazz music and got sucked up in trying to cover the sounds of Mike Stern, John Scofield and Allan Holdsworth among others. You can hear me make weird noises on records and on stage with: Militanta Jazzmusiker (www.myspace.com/militantajazzmusiker), How (www.gac.se), Mess (www.johanbjorklund.se, www.myspace.com/johanbjorklund), The Dora Steins (www.myspace.com/thedorasteins), Lawn Penguin, Love truth & joy, Brownouts (www.myspace.com/brownouts), vobler and Zara Tellander. I´ve also made guest appearances with Disturbance (www.myspace.com/disturbancesweden) and Murder By Guitar (www.murderbyguitar.com, www.myspace.com/murderbyguitarsthlm). I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
