TERJE RYPDAL

GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS

A guitarist and composer from Norway, Rypdal is as comfortable composing classical pieces as he is exploring the boundaries of jazz and microtonal guitar. Rypdal even sometimes plays an eight-string Stratocaster. No, he doesn’t djent. Yes, his playing is incredibly identifiable.

WHERE TO START

The Return Of Per Ulv

This cut demonstrates Rypdal’s command of melody and phrasing, and won’t break your fingers... Mostly. BOSS LEVEL: Last Nite Yeah, good luck playing it like Rypdal does.‡
