Finnish Fingerstyle guitarist, Tomi Paldanius, plays melodies, chords, bass lines and even solos on one guitar at the same time. During the concert you will hear acoustic guitar interpretations of well-known pieces.

Tomi has arranged many hits for guitar, including Bohemian Rhapsody, Hotel California and Nothing Else Matters. These and other arrangements performed by guitarists all over the world have reached tens of millions of views on social media. In 2005, Tomi’s first video, Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On A Prayer, was uploaded to Youtube, making it one of the first popular guitar videos on the image-sharing site. This video was mentioned by Total Guitar in their magazine as one of the best Youtube videos. Many guitarists around the world who have been inspired by Tomi’s arrangements have started to learn from him. One of them is Sungha Jung from Korea, who is currently one of the biggest guitar sensations on Youtube.

Tomi is a classically trained guitar teacher, but his passion for fingerstyle guitar was inspired by Australian guitar virtuoso and legend Tommy Emmanuel.
