About Me


Lars Rune Rebbestad, called "rebbe" by friends, is a guitarist, composer and producer. He has played on countless albums, and done even more livegigs both in and out of norway.
Rebbe`s sound and style is reminiscent both of Steve Lukather, Mike Landau and Brett Garsed, but he has his own uniqe style and phrasing. People first notice his incredible versatility and rocksteady technique, before being dazzled with both blistering, jawdropping licks and candlelight sensitivity.
All this, and then some, in one package...consisting of Rebbe and his guitars.
Be sure not to miss out on Rebbe and his music! Drop by his Official Website http://www.rebbestad.no for more mp3`s, videos, pictures and updates.
