Does/Can Jivarp play guitar or other instruments?

[Darth Jester]

Anders Jivarp has many writing credits, so that made me wonder, does and can he play guitar or some other intrument besides drums, are his contributions more in idea and arrangement department or does he come up with melodies, riffs and so on?

Have no idea whether he plays anything or not, but generally, as long as you have some solid knowledge of music theory, you can compose music on computer (midi sequencing, Garage Band program, or other such things), and not actually play it on anything. Although being able to play an instrument typically helps with composing.

I just listened an interview where Anders said that he writes everything on his piano.
