The Torture Never Stops (Atlantic City 2018)

100% Live performance. F.O.H. Mix. I used my 1/2 Fretless SG on this track. It was brand new and I was still learning how to play it. It's very hard to play in tune!

My dad played some fretless guitar on the album version of "The Torture Never Stops" so this a bit of thematic coherence.

I remember the 'Dweezil Mafia' being in full effect at this particular show.

There's a layer of clean piezo pickup guitar layered into the sound which helps give it definition and adds to the Eastern tonalities I am playing with.

This version gets a little crazier during the solo. I need to change the bridge on the guitar to a more custom design offering more extreme intonation range in order to play it more in tune. In the meantime, these 3 versions of "The Torture Never Stops" are living examples of this unique intrstrument out in the wild.
