Holy Shit!!!!

I've heard this guy before but now that I am listening to the album 'Freak Guitar - The Road Less Travelled', it's fucking unbelievable!

He's so fucking good!!!

Anyone into guitar shred/ electronic music should listen to this!!!!! It's a genius work!!!! Loads of crazy crazy guitar samples, metal riffs, jazz beats, drum n bassy parts, and fucking shred!!!!!

:dance:

there's also an hilarious cover of Smoke on the Water!!!

oh yeah, I forgot to mention, nobody else sounds like this on guitar, Eklundh can play any harmonic anywhere, uses dildos, chopsticks, anything he can find to play the guitar, makes computer game sounds, its just amazing, sounds like its not actually a guitar when it is

he's a guitar sorcerer. It's amazing what techniques he's developed to make mental whammy bar and harmonic sounds

I used to have one of his guitar tutorial vids on my computer; he seems like a bit of a crazy bastard, but totally cool! I believe he did quite a lot of guest musician work for Soilwork and Everygrey too.

Madness. Highly skillful, but just annoying to my ears.
