Anyone heard of Mattias "IA" Eklundh? He's been my favorite guitar "hero" for years. I just like how his music is spazzy/odd.

Check out an instructional clip here:

The demo songs are worth the wait; there's one in the middle of the clip and one at the very end.

I have heard of him...I need to check out this video when I am on a computer that will allow it

I have "Freak Guitar" I love the weird sounds and junk...how is the newer/older stuff?

The newest album "The Road Less Traveled" is great. You can check out a clip of each song here:

I really havent heard too too much of his older stuff (and I'm not a huge fan of his work in the band Freak Kitchen, but, to each their own).

Freak Kitchen is awesome, I've been a fan for a while. The newer stuff isn't as good, but Freak Kitchen and Appetizer were pretty awesome albums.

Freak Guitar is a pretty good album. Some of the drum samples drive me nuts at times, but who listens to a guitar CD for drums?

brian_dc, did you get a chance to look at the clip?
