My New Ride
Instruments: Guitars: Edwards SA-118 (335 clone) recorded direct through a Boss GS-10 with an Ethos for that dynamic overdrive.
Other Instruments:
Rhodes: AAS Lounge Lizard
Synth bass: u-he Zebra2
Poly keys: Superwave P8
Drums: Old Ludwig set with Ludwig or Tama snare
Comments: I was trying out some freeware VSTi soft synths and had a blast with the Superwave P8 and came up with the keyboard backing part. The rest came from there. And I always knew I wanted the Edwards + Ethos on it. Love that pedal!

Mr Other Love
Instruments: Guitars: Arne Arvidsson Strat style guitar through a Van Weldeen Gainland.
Other instruments: Native Instruments Kontakt 5, FM-8
U-he Zebra 2
Drums: Old Ludwig set with Ludwig or Tama snare
Comments: Here is a tune that, in my mind lovingly cares for what was good in the 80's and fuses this with what's good about today's music and the production tools we have at hand. A slow ballad with loads of clean guitar, effects in the backing. Different OD levels for the leads and a number of evolving rhythm elements to keep things moving. If I may say so myself, I really like this tune.

AAS Lounge Lizard
Drums: Old Ludwig set with Ludwig or Tama snare
Comments: When wrote this tune I was listening a lot to a variety of guitar players like Norman Brown, Larry Carlton, George Benson and Lee Ritenour. So I wanted to explore some clean sounding smooth jazz and this is the result.

Lead guitar: Tyler SE HD recorded direct with an Axe-Fx Ultra.
Sandberg Bullet Special with a T-Rex Squeezer processed with Guitar Rig 3

Drums: Old Ludwig set with Ludwig or Tama snare
Comments: I was asked to review the T-Rex Squeezer for the Swedish guitar magazine FUZZ. I soon realized that not only was it excellent for bass but also worked very well for guitar. So I felt the need to write some music that used the T-Rex in ways I thought appropriate. So this is FUNKY!

Trying To Get It
Instruments: Guitars: James Tyler SE HD recorded direct through a Kemper Profiling Amplifier.
Bass: NI Scarbee MM Bass.
Hammond: NI Kontakt 5 Vintage Organs
Drums: Old Ludwig set with Ludwig or Tama snare
Comments: I know that you don't become a better player just because you buy new and better gear BUT I also know that very often getting new stuff can be very inspirational. For a very long time I've been carrying this groove in my head and when I got the new Native Instruments Studio Drummer and felt the way it sounded and responded that started this tune. Then when I got my son Christoffer to play the drums, the groove only got better.
