March Student of the Month

Name: Guttorm A.

My City: Oslo, Norway

My Instruments/gear:

*PRS SE Dave Navarro, white
*Ibanez 2372 Recording '73, dark mahogany
*Fender Jaguar Blacktop

*Eastwood Sidejack Baritone DLX, dark blue

Favorite Artists/Bands: All of them! I do this for a living and love music, period. But I would take Pixies, Kraftwerk, Zappa, Husker Du, Dead Kennedys, Kanda Bongo Man, Earth, Buddy Holly, Black Sabbath and Razika with me on a Desert Island. What a party! My main guitar inspirations include Charley Patton, Dimebag Darrell, Toni Iommi, Willie Nelson, Poison Ivy (The Cramps), Grant Green, Hank Williams (Sr), Frank Zappa, Herman Li (Dragonforce), Johnny Ramone, Andreas Kisser (Sepultura), Keith Levene (PiL), East Bay Ray (Dead Kennedys), Johnny Winter, Ivar Bjornson (Enslaved), Lightnin' Hopkins, Billy Gibbons, David Gilmour, Junior Marvin (Bob Marley) Dylan Carlsson (Earth), Nile Rodgers, Buddy Holly, Toni Iommi, Frank Zappa and Grant Green again.

Favorite style(s) to play: Most of them, here too. I love country, blues, refrain-driven pop songs (it's a terrific feeling to perform and see a great big crowd dance to your music)! But extremely dark metal, punk, doom, minimalist norwegian folk music and experimental guitar noise, the genres I perform most, are closest to my guitar heart. Nothing says it like an overdriven downtuned power chord!
