    The Swedish Master Blues Man has a new album out. Kicks butt!

    http://www.svenzetterberg.com/

    When you get to his site, click on Jukebox on top right. This man is such a great bluesman, you gotta check him out if you like the blues.

    Who knew a Swede could play the blues that good?

    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    Yep, Clas is good too. I just love Sven Zetterberg's old school blues style. Sounds very non-Swedish (in a good way).

    I agree, a fantastic player...

    Another incredible old school blues player is Fjellis.. but I dont know if he have made solo albums.

    One upon a time, still in my Fender days, I witnessed Sven playing live in a hotel lounge all on his own. This man can move mountains. It is great that you mention such a great European blues musician.

    Regarding Clas Ingström I can only say that this man is a "god"! He has one of the best Strat sounds I have ever heard and his renditions of the Hendrix material are the best.

    I always said - and it was no joke - I believe that the best guitarists in Europe come from Scandinavia! Looking forward to taking part in Mathias "IA" Eklundhs Freak Guitar Camp in Stockholm....(although this guy ist not blues...)
