Topic: Greetings from Sweden to fellow string slingers

Hey there,
name is Richard Lainegard (formerly Lundmark), fusion/rock player from Sweden.
new to the forum, been following Joe for many, many years though smile
Not that it really tells in my playing, but love just listening to the man,
especially the live concert DVD's (the older stuff being my fave, where he could
switch between a strat, tele and LP in the same gig, not that the new stuff is anything by excellent either smile

A few words about me, from northern Sweden (about as far north as Alaska for you in the US),
with PRS atm, and doing a lot of clinics and trade show stuff especially for pedal endorsers
around our blue space ball smile  My day job is as a finance officer at a university though, but I make it work tongue

below in my signature is a web link to my official website, but as a quick and easy way of hearing
what I'm about, check my YT-channel (you'll see a lot of pedal demos amongst the recent material,
and some live stuff from my gigs in China & Japan just this past October):

Looking forward to reading and posting here, I'm as gear-nutty as they come, and always keep up with
the lastest on Joe's boards and what not smile

cheers!
