Learn Guitar Techniques of David Torn

[MySongman]

Anyone know if he is plugging straight into amp? What amp? If not, what pedals?

Details please...

HI,

Is this Dpergo used in the demo Alder or Ash body?

Thanks

Ah torn! Still remember "Best Laid Plans" & "Cloud About Mercury" - best and most innovating guitar of its time!

can I ask a question about my right hand technique,you see,about a few moths ago I started to focus on my picking technique and it went better,then it changed and I felt like I was starting to play guitar like a beginner,then I practice alot and I had great picking,but then it changed again like 2 times more,and now again I feel like I have the right hand of a beginner,Can you help me?

It was a specially made bridge for the prototype D'Pergo guitar. It is unique and the guitar is very special.

[Kohntarkosz]

That looks like a regular Strat style bridge, but how is he getting the strings to stay in tune when he uses the whammy bar? I had the understanding that was why he used the TransTrem, was because it was the only whammy bar that kept the strings in tune when bending notes.

Jesus that guitar sounds great but the headstock really doesn't work for me.

[stratoman]

that's a D'Pergo prototype made from ancient recovered wood and is worth the cost of a new Honda. that said, it would not sound as great if Torn wasn't playing it.

thanks for your comment.
