FINDING HIS VOICE

When Henrik Danhage was around the age of 5, little did he know that his grandfather might have changed the course of his life with a single album.

Grandpa gave a young Danhage KISS’s 1975 live album, Alive!, and the bombastic leads of guitarist Ace Frehley on classic tracks like “Strutter” and “Rock and Roll All Nite” set this unassuming Swedish boy on a wild musical journey.

Inspired by what he was hearing on that album, Danhage got his first guitar when he was 9 as a gift from his parents. To make things easier on his hands, Danhage’s father even cut off the strings so he could just stand in front of the mirror to emulate what he heard on the albums. 

“I was in front of the mirror pretending I was Ace Frehley, and some of the best guitar playing I ever did was during those two years,” he said with a laugh. 

The strings came back though, and the real work began. He began diving into the catalogs of ‘70s guitar virtuosos, including Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen and Yngwie Malmsteen with designs of learning how to master the instrument as these heroes did — even if he had to come up with proprietary techniques.

“These high-energy guitarists really made me feel special in my heart,” said Danhage. “I realized that I’m not going to spend all the time learning their stuff, so I started coming up with my own little tricks instead. 

“It took a little longer, but it made me find my own voice in the guitar, which now I am very happy for.”
