Trygve Knudsen

TRYGVE KNUDSEN, b.April 21, 1968. Guitar player/composer. Trygve has done everything from composing music for modern ballet to playing guitar in Top40 bands and backing miscellaneous norwegian artists. ******************************* “Moody and atmospheric, featuring crystalline, high-endy tones and atmospheric pads. Bluesy, melodic, sweet, David Gilmour-esque bends and pleasantly burnished overdrive tone. Knudsen plays with tasteful restraint, concentrating on melody instead of flash.” .... -Guitar Player Magazine, January 1996 **************************** “Knudsen’s plaintive phrasing, sparse melodies, and haunting volume swells keep the emotions bottled up until you’re practically begging for a crescendo, but that’s the genius of this cinematically brilliant track.” .... -Michael Molenda, editor-in-chief, Guitar Player Magazine, august 2007 ******************************* “Now that’s what I call tasteful guitar playing – great stuff!! Such great command of tone! Keep setting the standards. “ – Elliott Randall , guitarist/composer, producer, solo artist, Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, Carly Simon, Fame Soundtrack, The Blues Brothers, Carl Wilson, Peter Frampton, and more. ******************************* “Terrific tone! Cool to hear your fine playing!” -Georg “Jojje” Wadenius, guitarist, composer, arranger and producer, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Saturday Night Live band, Luther Vandross, Roberta Flack, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Donald Fagen, Michael Franks, Joe Thomas, Backstreet Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, Steely Dan, Silje Nergaard, and more. ******************************** “I wish you all the best with your music. If you are ever thinking about a new album I’d be glad to do a couple of “guest solos” for you…” -Pete Haycock, guitarist/composer, solo artist, producer, Climax Blues Band, The Electric Light Orchestra, Hans Zimmer (movie soundtracks), Jan Akkerman and more. *********************************
