John Norum - Europe

We revisit our conversation with Europe's John Norum. For many of us, John introduced himself through the epic solo on Europe's world wide smash The Final Countdown. That solo - equal parts blazing arpeggios and blues chops - characterised John's style which has graced most of Europe's 25 million album sales. John spoke to us on the eve of Europe's 2018 Australian tour and discussed his early influences, the inspiration behind that solo and gave an in depth look at Europe's latest album 'Walk the Earth', recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios.  This episode is brought to you by: Fretboard Biology - the online guitar college created by Joe Elliott, ex Head of Guitar at GIT and McNally Smith Music College.
