  Terje Rypdal is a Norwegian guitarist who plays a combination of styles 
including jazz, ambient, fusion, etc. which for me is kind of hard to 
describe.  His melodies are soft textured with ocassional course edges.  
He has a very distinct tone and uses various effects including loops.  You 
really need to listen for yourself.  In my oppinion, his best work is the 
CD "Blue" on ECM records.  For more information on Terje and a discography 
go see   "www.ecmrecords.com/ecm/bio/8.html"
