A
year after Jonas started playing guitar, Jonas put his first band together and played live
at some schools and even some backyard partys.
Summer
of 1985 changed Jonas playing totally when he heard Yngwie J Malmsteen for the first time.
Jonas also discovered jazz/rock guitar player Al Di Meola that summer. This lead to an
almost obsessive guitar practicing period since Jonas wanted to take his
guitar playing to
a higher level.
In
1987, Jonas was in the biggest rock band competition ever held in Sweden, playing live in
front of 2500 people with his band Calilio. A year later his band signed a record deal which resulted in a
single (Lips/I remember you) that sold well over all of
Europe.
By
the end of 1991, Jonas dissolved his band and started to work on more progressive songs,
during 1991 Jonas also recorded a 8 song instrumental demo which sold almost 2000 copies
world wide.
In
1993 Jonas put together the band he still have today, Treasure Land. In April 1996
Treasure Land signed a world wide record deal with German label Modern Music.
Treasure
Land also participated in two tribute cd’s:
Treasure Land is currently
writing songs for a 3rd CD after some years of doing other music stuff.
Jonas have also written
2
books about ”Guitar technique” written for the Swedish market.
There will also be
instructional dvd’s.
Jonas is currently teaching
35-40 students a week, both privately and online. |
