  William Richard "Bill" Frisell (born March 18, 1951) is a North American           
  guitarist and composer.                                                           
                                                                                     
  Frisell's critically-acclaimed work has been wildly eclectic, rooted in jazz but   
  touching on progressive folk, classical music, country music, noise and more.     
  Known for using an array of effects (delay, distortion, reverb, octave shifters,   
  and volume pedals, to name a few) to create unique sounds from his instrument.
