Erno "Emppu" Vuorinen.

Erno "Emppu" Matti Juhani Vuorinen (born June 24, 1978 in Kitee, Finland) is the lead guitarist in the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. He started to play guitar as a private study at the age of 12 and since then he has played in various bands including Nightwish, in which he has played from the beginning, and Altaria. As Tuomas Holopainen (band director and keyboard player) composes most of the music for Nightwish, Emppu can be heard playing unordinary guitar riffs that were most likely originally meant for a keyboard. Vuorinen is also noted for his somewhat diminutive stature - he is around 165 cm tall (5'3").
