Jukka Jorma Tolonen (born 16 April 1952) is a Finnish guitarist. Tolonen became famous as guitarist for the progressive rock band Tasavallan Presidentti (which means "president of the republic"). His first solo album, Tolonen!, recorded and released in 1971 while he was nineteen years old, displayed his prowess on both guitar (electric and acoustic) and piano and instrumental songwriting which comfortably segues between classical, jazz, folk, blues and rock. Tolonen also recorded two albums with the Finnish prog band Wigwam in 1970 and 1971.
