Listen for music from the California Guitar Trio performance at the Orpheum Theatre in Wichita. The three guitarists met in a guitar craft course focusing on the "new standard tuning," which they still use today. If you’re wondering what the "new standard tuning" is and why it matters, a brief description follows. The guitar is tuned in fifths rather than fourths, making the overall range wider. The guitar can create lower and higher sounds. Like most alternate tunings, it opens the door to new music, arrangements, and sounds. The California Guitar Trio plays original works, in arrangements of rock, classical and jazz.
