David Torn

I don't know how many are familiar with David Torn. But, he's always been an inspiration to me. Truly some one who does things their own way.

Here's some video segments on the top row of this Link:

Let me know, if you dig it!

Yes...enjoying this a lot. Players like Torn and Beck is the reason i use a full floating trem as well...and some sage advice I noticed on one clip about concentrating on what someone likes about music than being just great at a particular idiom...or something like that.

Not sure why it was moved from the theory section, but glad I found it...thanks

Yeah, I thought it fit there too!

I remember DT doing the oddest version of "VooDoo Chile" quite a few years ago. And he was playing with all sorts of Loops and Samples.

Just seemed like someone on a different path.

I've been hooked ever since!

Splattercell is another of his projects to check out.

Anyway, I find DT very inspirational.

Torn's great--I was listening to "Cloud About Mercury" just yesterday. A great, great record. Here's something a little more recent:
