OutsideGuitar.com Podcast

OutsideGuitar.com was founded in 2015 by guitarist Aram Bajakian. Having spent more than a decade as an active member of NYC's scene, and performing with a diverse range of artists (Lou Reed, John Zorn, Diana Krall, Malcolm Mooney from Can) Bajakian wanted to find a way to give back some of what he had learned to the music community. Thus, the online guitar masterclass, OutsideGuitar.com was born. The OutsideGuitar.com podcast allows subscribers to ask questions to guitarists that play outside the norms of "conventional" guitar playing (Marc Ribot, Paul Rigby of Neko Case). Each conversation is unique and filled with insights. The podcasts contain about half of each lesson. To hear the full lesson, and to ask questions to future featured guitarists, subscribe at www.outsideguitar.com. By subscribing you'll not only gain access to the lessons on OutsideGuitar, you'll also be supporting the musicians in the podcast: each of them is paid for their time.

In this interview, guitarist and OutsideGuitar.com founder Aram Bajakian (and guitarist for Lou Reed, Diana Krall, John Zorn) asks Paul questions gleaned from OutsideGuitar.com members.
