About this podcast
Guitar and vocals for Norwegian blues/rock band Square One and Compagniet, Notodden.
Picked up the guitar at the age of 13. First influences were Bill Haley and the Comets and Carl Perkins. My family only owned one tape recorder and a collection of 6 MCs back then. Had some records, but the record player was broken.
Later influences were Jimi Hendrix, Iron Maiden, Chet Atkins, S.R.V and many, many others.
Love trying to play music from most genres. Always been fascinated by electronics, synthesizers, effects and what make things tick.
Remember: Music is a social experience not a sport. Everyone's entitled to participate.
