American musician James Plotkin was not the first to create so-called "guitar ambient" (Germany's own Maeror Tri are considered godfathers of that weird subgenre of ambient), but he was probably the first to make it more noticeable. Via his collaborations and his own projects, he shown how guitar can be used not only for traditional rock music, but all sorts of experimental sounds as well. Certainly, what he's doing is not for everyone (maybe not even suitable for an average ambient fan), but there are a lot of interesting ideas in his own work and projects with others, namely Mick Harris and Mark Spybey.
