Guitarist Paul Richards is our guest and we will talk about his work with the California Guitar Trio! With fellow guitarists Bert Lams and Hideyo Moriya, the California Guitar Trio has developed quite a following with its music that intersects between rock, jazz, classical, and world music. Since 1991, the group has enthralled listeners with a singular sound that fearlessly crisscrosses genres. Paul also studied with Robert Fripp with his Guitar Craft course and actually met Bert and Hideyo studying with Fripp and also touring with Fripp as part of Fripp's League of Crafty Guitarists. We will talk with Paul about playing with the Trio, the gear they use, and their music. And we will explore Paul using Fripp's unusual tuning for guitar. It's a great night of tone, gear and technique!
