The Swedish guitar player Janne Schaffer is very famous and known as a legend here in Sweden. For those of you who haven't yet discovered him and his fantastic work, there are many hours of pleasure to look forward to. He was born in 1945 and is still practicing his music live. You must absolutely google on him!
@@tomhill9445 Since I only know Roine Stolt by name I cannot compare the two of them. But I understand that he is also a good guitar player although today maybe not as active as Janne Schaffer.
He also had a long collaboration with the Swedish composer, keyboardist and flutist Björn Json Lindh. Lindh played in a flutterstyle much similar to Ian Anderson in Jethro Tull. They did music in a progressive/jazzfusion style. They also collaborated with the Swedish progressive rock band Isildurs Bane. It is Lindh on the song Ramsa. Schaffer also did some jamming with the progressive rock trio Quatermass, featuring John Gustafson (Ian Gillan band), Pete Robinson (Brand X) and Mick Underwood.
I have this album and the album after it. On the first song, "Bromma Struttin'", he uses a talk box. Another Scandinavian guitarist I checked out around that time was Jukka Tolonen from Finland. A better known guitarist from Norway is Terje Rypdal, who has albums out on ECM with Jack DeJonnette and bassist Miroslav Vitous (W.Report).
If you're interested in Norse guitarists I could recommend another great one from the time: George "Jojje" Wadenius who caused some fuzz here in Sweden when he joined the then established and now very well kniwn American band Blood, Sweat & Tears and he was later in the Saturday Night Live Band quite some years as well. Before all that he was e.g. a member of the Swedish prog fusion band Made in Sweden - highly recommend!
I proudly can say : I know Janne Schaffer 😆 Honestly he's been recommended to me by anybody I don't remember 😂 What a fantastic track ... don't remember it that great... so I' ll have to check out more of his music PS: Montreux is pronounced in french, that it sounds in the end like the german ööö , you don't say the X 😆🤘
Awesomeness! A two for Thursday 😱 what a deal. So excited you liked his work. RAMSA was a great 2nd selection helps to advocate for his range, his skill as a musician and as a composer. The track I originally intended to request is called “It’s Never to Late” off of the “Earmeal” Lp. Back in the day I was a respectable bass player and I convinced my band to cover “It’s Never To Late”. I played the helll out his early albums I’ve been poking around listening to some more f his more current material. 🤔 so far prefer the older material. As to ABBA, I’ve never owned any, and I casually change the radio station when it’s on. No hard feelings. 😱 Mr. Schaffer however is a beast. I will try my luck at sponsoring a Janne Schaffer marathon. I hope others are equally excited. If you want to differentiate me from Great Scott and Cincinnati Scott and other Scott’s I will change my call sign to SCOTTCHINO. 🧔🏼♂️
SUPER GOODNESS!!! Never heard of these guys (too!). That was awesome stuff, love the Violin! The 2nd track was like a different band :P. - That was really good stuff. Thanks Nick :D
Q grande NICK me haces conocer musica q nunca habia escuchado gracias . PD: comence de nuevo despues de 2 años a entrenar king boxing y estoy todo dolorido 😂😂😂😂💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Hi! Janne Schaffer is famous not just for being an exelent guitarrist but also for playing with his tounge out of his mouth all the time. Rather funny. Greetings! /Ulf
Eddie Jobson uses some VERY eclectic (and electric) Violins in "UK", checkout his solo from LIVE footage from their reunion shows - pretty wild stuff. And then there is "Mark Wood" and his violins that he's developed.

Some people in Germany know him too. He also played as a Studio Musician on several ABBA tunes, right?
@@theheepster Yes that's right, his guitar can be heard on about half of ABBA's one hundred recordings.
How would you compare his popularity to Roine Stolt ?
@@tomhill9445 Since I only know Roine Stolt by name I cannot compare the two of them. But I understand that he is also a good guitar player although today maybe not as active as Janne Schaffer.
Bjorn J:son Lindh (aka Jayson Lindh), flute player on the second track, has made a bunch of albums under his own name.
And also the pianist on the first one 😊
Really great. This is a new one for my ears,will definitely be checking out more. Thanks Scott
Check out the lot Earmeal 👍
@Scott Anderson (Scottchino) Cheers Scott , will do
This is awesome =) never heard of him ! I will check out more for sure it gives me Jeff Beck vibes . Thanks Nick
Great reaction video with an old hero of mine who I saw performing quite some times in various constellations.
This is badass! Never heard of this guy.
This kicks Jean Luc Ponte and Shadowfax right in the nuts! Love it!

Check out Björn Json Lindhs solo output. 😊

@@progperljungman8218 Thanks. I must have seen him on SNL and not known who he was.
Man, I got to find out more about this artist or band or whatever it is.

You should listen to Norrland by Janne Schaffer. Just beautiful! 😊
On my channel you can find a live concert with Janne from Montreux 1980, Where they performance this song.
SUPER GOODNESS!!!

Bats In The Belfry, from the second album, good tune.
Yeaaaaah

Listen to Dirty Loops, you will never look back!

but he stopped doing that in the 90s.
@@michaelkarlsson5966 Gave up his tongue work in the 90´s! Rather sad I think.
Check out "Norrland" with Janne for something more melodious!
You should also check out the finnish Jukka Tolonen, in case you don't know him.
Nick, You got ‘Montreux’ correct the first time !👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
haha I knew it and then I screwed it up!!
Also, the norwegian guitarist Bjarne Roupe': ruclips.net/video/gyVU1lOdi3o/видео.htmlsi=MMutiVGF_wwH6J8l
He played on o lot of ABBA albums!
Electric violin?
Wow!

@@mvunit3 Have all that. Big Box set with CD's and DVD's. Mainstream compared to Janne
Is he on this with Janne on that first song ?
@@bmac1205 "Is he on this with Janne on that first song"?
No, I don't think so.
Just looked it up: "Electric Violin - Mats Glenngård".
Never heard of him either.
Thanks
Here's another one from him. Enjoy! ruclips.net/video/Sl0Tzf8QV4Q/видео.html
Think you'd be safe pronouning it with a German "language brain" 😁
Who else is in this band?
Too much to leave here but I got you a link Bmac:) www.discogs.com/release/1243321-Janne-Schaffer-Katharsis
No idea how to pronounce his name.🤪

Whoa Nicky!
Not familiar at all with this artist.
Played in ABBA?
Fusion?
Wow
Thanks @scottanderson8420 !
I love and respect all your requests B Mac. Check out the album Earmeal 👍 I think we listened to a lot of the same music. 😎
