Stratovarius Community

Hmmm, I was just reading an interview with Jens where he said he is self-taught. Maybe there is hope....

Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate it. Like I said, one reason I quit my piano lessons was due to my eyesight. It makes it rather difficult for me to read the music as I play, I know it takes years to become a good sight reader but with my eyesight I don't think its practical(and no, glasses o...

Ok, I'm interested in learning keyboard. I took piano lessons for a short while (a couple of months) and decided that just wasn't working for me. I don't want to be a pianist, I want to be a keyboard player. My interests are in players like Jens Johansson, Mikko Harkin, Janne Warman, and Tuomas from...

They should do an album with Sonata Arctica where they both cover each others popular songs. Well, it would make me happy at least.

I have a jackson KE3, an LTD M350, and a Fender Stratocaster that is in the process of being moddified to be like Yngwie's stratocasters(scalloped neck and all that crap)


I was thinking about scalloping the M350 but I figured that was a bad idea being as its neckthrough, so if I mess up its screwed.

OH NO! HE CUT HIS HAIR? HOW IS HE GOING TO PLAY THE GUITAR WITH SHORT HAIR?

He should do an album with Janne Warman. Just an hour of him and Janne dueling it out on their keyboards, That would be fascinating.

wow, not bad... Actually, that was awesome.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIMO!

I'd love to hear someone play the intro to sonata arctica's "the cage". Jens is a monster.
