Hans Storsberg – An Xperience Interview

Hans Storsberg – An Xperience Interview – by Rob Skane.

Hans Storsberg is, without a doubt, one of the most incredible guitar players I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. You might feel the same way once you hear his music. The arrangements are sophisticated and melodic. His singing is absolutely enchanting, and he writes about real life. Please find him at hansstorsberg.com.

RRX: What was the moment that made you pick up a guitar and never put it down?

Hans Storsberg: I first picked up the guitar because my school teachers encouraged me to get more involved in music. My father was a musician as well, and i loved singing with him. They asked what instrument I would like to learn, and i picked guitar. I could not have been any luckier than starting lessons with local icon Carmen Caramanica. I was hooked.

RRX: If you could go back and tell your younger self one thing about playing guitar, what would you say?

HS: If I could give advice to myself when I first started, it would be practice, practice, and listen. Embrace the challenges and don’t just play things that come easily. Ultimately, put it all together, have fun, and make music and songs.

RRX: When you’re not onstage or recording, what kind of stuff do you play when no one’s listening?

HS: When I am not recording or playing, I listen a lot to the classics along with classical music. I have written more pop songs inspired by Bach than anything else. Not even sure why, but it makes me love the process and puts me in a place where it just feels clean and pure.
