Who I am; I'm a 32 year old musician, heralding from the deep forests of Northern Sweden. My style ranges from rock to jazz, from metal to fusion and something in between. I've released a critically acclaimed instrumental album (FretDance, 2003), and have held popular guitar clinics in both Sweden and Japan. I'm currently working on a full-length guitar instructional DVD entitled Electric Guitar Concepts.
I'm also available for studio work, clinic/workshops, as well as private lessons through www.fretdance.com For exclusive online guitar lessons by me, visit www.infiniteguitar.com, and for videos see the player below, or visit www.fretdance.com
Contact me at fretdance@gmail.com ,or Msn: richard@fretdance.com Some excerpts from comments and reviews about my music: Guitarheroes.com (Album review):
"It is well done, melodious, and interesting ... would Sweden become the new promise land ?” Greg Howe:
"Very accurate and passionate bends/vibrato – Great technique overall – Tone is very clean and appealing – Great use of altered or “alternative to the obvious” scales – Phrases are very confident, accurate, and musical" Brett Garsed:
"I checked out your songs and have to say that it's just great playing and writing mate! Really big tone too." Young Guitar, Japan (Clinic review):
"... Devout guitar lovers united to see the playing-demonstrations and questions and answers where alternated between songs. The participants were from beginning to end overwhelmed by the actual playing, and the combination of questions and a very high level lecture was transcending." XA-metal, Japan (Clinic review):
"I went to see Richard Lundmark's guitar clinic, a guitarist from Sweden that is well
known amongst guitar freaks around the world. He has also released a guitar
instrumental album, FRETDANCE. The content of the clinic was aimed for middle to advanced level players (little bit hard for beginners). The improvisation play was really awesome and the place was filled with excitement!” Guitar Idol 2008 Judges (I was one of the 730 entries):
"Richard is a highly respected master guitarist and several judges had him rated very highly indeed. This track had elements of Greg Howe’s early Shred Blues album brought bang up to date, with state of the Art advanced rock and fusion chops – Richard is very much the complete package. Could quite easily have been top 12!" Sweden Rock Magazine (Album review):
"Richard is a phenomenal guitarist with a good grasp of both technique and feel. He has a nice tone and a cool style."
