Sweden
At age twelve me and some classmates formed our first band, Magnetic. We played together for 3 years. The first song i learned by my self was "Kalles klätter träd" :) We also played Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Whitesnake and even some Black Sabbath songs. Lots of fun! The whole life was in front of you... at age fourteen i had my first guitar lesson and the teacher introduced me to Yngwie's Ricing Force album.
My destiny was made! ( just like thousands of other kids at that time ;)
I scalloped my Fender and decided to be the next fastest playing guitar hero in the world!
I practiced and practiced and practiced! 6-8 hours a per day for 6 years.
I then went two years at a musicschool in Sweden and one amazing year in Hollywood were i graduated from GIT at MI. I managed to experience both the big earth quake, the LA Riots and off cause The Rainbow bar & grill! ;)
But after all those years of practicing and practicing the most devastating era in the music business (next to MP3) began, and it was called:
NIRVANA, and all those horrible Seattle bands entered the world.
And like bulldozers they killed us all! ( Maybe some of you think that was a good thing ;)
So, i laid down the guitar, cut my hear and got a job ..
