I studied the classical guitar after playing in a band in my younger days. I'm a guitar teacher at a Music School in my hometown in Norway, and besides I'm a singer/songwriter in addition to doing gigs at pubs (mostly Irish songs) . This project is about adding improvisational skills in the bluegrass style to my usual ways of comping other musicians and singers
In a Band: No
Skill Level: Advanced
Guitar(s): Martin GPCPA1, Furch, Takamine nylon
Amplifer(s): Roland Ac90
Started learning by myself as a teenager in the 60's. Studied classical guitar from 1974-78. Playing in different bands up to 1996. I "know a little about most things", but no great improviser, no brilliant technique to show off with; never been into jazz except for listening...More like an arranger/singer/songwriter. Have a four hour program of Irish/Scottish/British/American songs that I often do in pubs or alike. Did "classical table music" in restaurants and some classical concerts before getting more involved in Irish and Folk in the late 90's. Have released two albums in my own name, in addition to composing and arranging for other artists, or being their stage/studio- musician. Attending The Nick Drake Gathering in Tanworth-in-Arden, England for the 4th time this year as one of the performers
