Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Life is ... all of us - Image Hosting Generate your own contact table! Jani Liimatainen is the guitarist and one of the founding members of the the power metal band Sonata Arctica. Most of his technique is self-taught, even though he had a few guitar lessons early in his life. He is endorsed by Ibanez and plays a Destroyer DT 200 Custom and the JPM4 pickup, John Petrucci's signature model. He cites Freak Kitchen, Dream Theater and Pain of Salvation as his biggest musical influences. As well as playing, he has also contributed to the band's songwriting with My Selene on 2004's Reckoning Night. Jani also played with Altaria, recording 2 full-length albums, before leaving them to concentrate on his work with Sonata Arctica. He also has a side-project going with his Sonata Arctica bandmate, Keyboardist Henrik Klingenberg, a melodic death metal band called Graveyard Shift. His favorite guitarists are John Petrucci, Steve Vai, Mattias "IA" Eklundh, Michael Romeo, Paul Gilbert, and Yngwie.
