Has any of you forummers heard of this Norwegian guitar player? Eddies Wingman, I guess?  :)

No metal, or hardrock, but imo really intruiging instrumental music. To be honest I haven't heard much of him yet. Last week I have bought this album (recorded in 1978)

Allmusic describes this record as "an otherworldly soundscape of aching beauty" and I can't disagree with that.

I just checked out this clip which shows his feel for melody. The music style is quite different from that album. Apparantly Terje Rypdal has had a long and versatile career so there's much to explore.
 
Yep, he has quite a big name among guitar-people in Norway. When the discussion comes up about who is Norway's greatest guitarist he's certain to be mentioned. I must admit I haven't heard too much of his music myself, but what I've heard is enough to show that he deserves his status as one of the country's greatest.
