Introduce yourself. What is your name and location?

Hi! I'm Gunnar and lives in Borlänge, Dalarna, Sweden.

Tell us a little about your story, you can tell us your age if your game but not necessary (or age bracket, we have a truly diverse group). When did you take up guitar? How long have you been playing? What led you to look for lessons or help, how is it you ended up here?

I'm 54 but people usually think that I'm quite a bit younger. I guess working with children, making music and living a good life keeps you young. I have been playing the guitar and some other instruments since I was 14.

What Kind of Guitar do you play? Do you have any others in your stable? Do you lust after anything else specifically? (all of us here have the 'disease' it seems)

I own a couple of guitars for different kinds of music. I would like to own a nice Gibson Les Paul or SG and a Fender Stratocaster. I got an Ibanez that I'm quite satisfied with.

What is your favorite music to play? How about to listen to? What kind of playing styles would you like to learn or already know?

I make all kinds of music and always try to learn something new. I play classical, fingerpicking, blues, instrumental and hard rock. I sing and play acoustic guitar with a good friend of mine. We sing a bit of harmony and it's really nice to have someone to play with.

If there was one goal you could accomplish in your learning journey what would that be? or maybe you have many?

Just to learn more and more. It's an endless journey playing the guitar and making music.

If you are comfortable share with us your work a little, job, business, whatever you want to say.

I've been working with children since 1978 and it's GREAT! I play guitar at work and play kazoo at the same time and the kids dance and goes totally crazy.

Anything else you would like to share ? Anything about your family, hobbies outside of Guitar? On the site you will meet everyone from golfers to Gourmet Chef's to car nuts, and sports folk..and everyone in between. Whatever else you may want to add?

I almost only have time for my music and I'm totally happy with that. I want to learn more about recording and mastering. I like to draw as well and I'm working on a childrens book.
