About the record
Indian colour in a blues language
GuitarRaga brings Indian influences and open-ended guitar improvisation into Chris Dair’s blues vocabulary. World blues, instrumental music and fusion meet here, making it a useful entry point for listeners drawn to the connections between musical traditions rather than a single genre.
Chris discusses his interest in Indian classical sitar scales in Playing Solo Guitar, alongside the phrases and patterns he developed when he first began playing. That account offers some personal context for this side of his music. For another perspective on his instrumental playing, follow GuitarRaga with the solo-guitar focus of The Threading.
