rawburt.com - Robert Hansson

Welcome to my place in cyberspace!

My name is Robert Hansson, hailing from the west of Sweden in Europe. When it comes to my playing, the melody always comes first, no matter what. So when I create music in my own homestudio it almost turns out beeing something heavy with a melodic guitarline. But sometimes you can't decide how things will turn out,
it just happens. Thats the magic and fun of making music if you dont follow any rules and keep your mind open. I, basically, like all kinds of music as long as it's... simply, well performed.

The new second album by Transmission is done + a new guitar has arrived!

November 1st set the startingpoint for recording my new album, entitled "MUSKEDUNDER". J.Tjusling will play the drums, J.Ranestrom will handle the bass and yours truly will be playing all the guitars. Who will then handle the vocals? That is something to be announced later.. Anyway, eight tracks will be recorded.

Presscomments:
"..Roberts CD features heavy rock tracks with pulverizing rhythm guitar
work, well-turned hooks and sinewy improvisations. A number of high
tech, guitaristic elements are highlighted - whammy bar dives, legato lines
and speed picking to name a few, held together with a thematic foundation.."
(Guitar Nine Records - USA)

"..Swede Robert Hansson can flail away with his whammy bar and shred for
days, but his strongest suite is an ability to execute long, 16th note composed
melodic lines with accuracy and rhythmic flow, which combines a Lukather-like
studio fuzz tone with Morse-like attention to clean phrasing and spot-on time.."
(Guitar Player - USA)

"..Robert creates the groove and surfs on top of it at the same time. He rocks with
the control of a studio player, testing the limit but never losing the listener.."
(Guitar for the Practicing Musician - USA)

"..Robert Hansson's lead is stunning and shows him to
be a guitar god in waiting!.." (SFK Newsletter - USA)

Main gear right now, (there's a lot more in the closet) :
(have I told you that I prefer black coloured gear?)

Line 6 Spider Valve HD100, how could I resist when they put both
the digital and analog Tube technology together in one head! Ha!

Ibanez FR1620BK, a Prestige-modell crafted by Team J in Japan.
This one is quite odd for someone like me! Either its ugly as hell or just lovely..
Anyway it suits me very well since I like the Wizard-neck. And its comfortable.

Ibanez RG2610EBK, a Prestige-modell crafted by Team J in Japan.
A factory-new guitar, perfectly made setup and imported from Germany by myself.
Whammybar again, Seymour Duncan "Full Shred". Simple and clean!

ESP Edwards Les Paul with Seymour Duncan Distortion 6 - pup's.
A pretty new member of the family! Damn, what a great sounding guitar! Made In
Japan, with an extraordinary finish and overall quality. I imported this directly
from the factory in Japan since these guitars aren't available enywhere else.
(Due to lawsuit and patent restrictions from Gibson, for what I heard)

Yamaha RBX375, 5-string bass

This is a new cool instrument for me, a Ukulele. Very funny!
