  Featuring devotional and celebratory Indian Classical and fusion music on the 25-string Raga Guitar. Matthew Grasso,
classical guitarist, composer, arranger, musical instrument
innovator and improviser, performs on a 7-string guitar and on a
25-string guitar. The 25-string "Raga Guitar" is a unique innovation
of Matthew's. This instrument is a hybrid of an extended 7-string guitar
and the Indian
instrument, the Sarod.
Born in 1972 of Chinese and Italian ancestry, Matthew began playing guitar at the age of twelve. He attended the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and also studied the classical music of North India at the Ali Akbar College of Music with Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. "Matthew Grasso is one of the most original and accomplished guitarists I have ever heard." – Marc Teicholz, Professor, San Francisco Conservatory of Music
