Terje Rypdal about his 8-string Fender + "The Prayer" -theme and more from "Hip som happ", Molde 1991. "The Prayer" has been used in performances of "Hip som happ" and "Deja Vu" (in Grenoble), and is recorded on the ECM CD "Q.E.D."(4th movement). "The Prayer" can also be heard with strings only, in the music score for "Kjærlighetens kjøtere" ("Zero Kelvin"). With orchestra conducted by Christian Eggen, The Chasers feat. Bugge Wesseltoft on keys. What he says (in norwegian) is: The guitar has two extra bass strings, so the range is expanded with an octave. He loves to make the "Twin Peaks" sound....Legend says Fender made it for free when they heard it was for Rypdal. This TV-documentary was aired on TVNorge, and made by Frode Rabbevåg.

  • amazing

  • I could listen to that Terje intro a million times and get a chill every time!! Terje still has that sound today!!! Wow!!! .................... R Tullius

  • Terje isst niice!

  • That is true. Fender asked who the buyer is, and when they heard it was for Terje Rypdal,they gave it away for free.. A regular costum shop guitar will cost 4000 - 10000 $, for this guitar it was much more... Jeff Beck is one of Terje Rypdal's fan..

  • One of my ECM fauvorite musicians.

  • "I also have an 8-string Stratocaster, which is very nice, but it takes about 15 minutes to get in tune, so it mostly stays at home." -Terje Rypdal (from Guitar Player)

  • Thanks again so much for posting more Terje Rypdal footage. He is truly one of the greatest guitar masters and composers of our time. I am so glad that your showing your great collection to us all! We sadly dont get much Terje or ECM in the states and everyone here is missing out on a leading edge Jazz movement! Rob Tullius

  • Får fremdeles gåsehud av Rypdals komposisjoner. Håper det kommer mere nytt.

  • Terje rules

  • One of the most visionary guitarist ever... he's there with Hendrix.
