I'm a Swedish musician, heralding from the deep forests of Southern Lappland. 
My style ranges from rock to jazz, from metal to fusion and somewhere in between. 

I've released a critically acclaimed instrumental album (FretDance, 2003) with another now in the making, 
and I hold popular guitar clinics and workshops in Sweden, Japan, USA and other countries around the world,
as well as perform at various trade shows. I've been working professionally as a guitar teacher for well over a decade,
giving lessons and producing video instructional material world-wide.

I've performed with such Swedish artists such as Mats Ronander, Patrik Isaksson, Nanne Grönwall & Daniel Lindström, and play regularly with several top 40 bands in Sweden.
I also hold a position as a financial officer and business administrator at the university of Umeå where I live with my fiancee Mona and a cat named Viggo (a black little nutcase!).
My other interest in life include sports (MMA & strength training), music (duh!), reading (reading a lot of music biography's atm), movies and more...

Hope to see you guys at some future clinic, road show or the likes, somewhere around the globe!
Or just shoot me a mail why don't you!

Regards//
Richard Lundmark

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."
