On today’s Fretboard Journal Podcast, we talk to guitarist (and frequent Fretboard Journal contributor) Ryan Richter, who just wrapped up playing two of the most talked-about sets at Coachella backing Dijon.

We discuss the prep that went into Dijon’s Coachella performances, the gear he used, and more.
