OutsideGuitar.com PodcastAuthor: Aram Bajakian
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.

Episode 3: Bill Frisell
Tuesday, 7 February, 2017
In this podcast guitarist and OutsideGuitar.com founder Aram Bajakian (Lou Reed, John Zorn, Malcolm Mooney of CAN) talks to Bill Frisell. What can be said about Bill except that everyone who has ever heard him has wondered how he's able to make the guitar sound so beautiful. During the course of his career, Bill has worked with John Zorn, Paul Motian, Marianne Faithful, Jeff Buckley, Joe Henry, Hal Willner, Allen Toussaint and Richard Hell, just to name a few. His own albums take listeners into another plane, where time is stretched and the sounds emanating from his guitar are the other-worldly soundtrack. In this interview, Bill and Aram talk about guitars, particularly all the connections that emanate from one guitar shop in Manhattan, Carmine Street Guitars, where master luthier Rick Kelly makes his telecasters and stratocasters. They also discuss Jim Jarmusch, Voidoids and Lou Reed guitarist Robert Quine, the art of practicing and pedals, in addition to other questions asked by outsideguitar.com subscribers. Half the episode is here. Get the other half by subscribing at www.outsideguitar.com.
