Came up on my feed n thought it was cool
I think I first saw some vids of Troy around 2007 or 2008, and this is probably from right around then, too. Cool stuff!
That guitar doesn’t have tuning keys! What’s going on?!?!
I wish I had found CTC back then but I’m glad I’ve found it now.
Troy varies the pressure on each finger to tune each individual note by ear as a he plays. You can hear that some of the 200 bpm+ shredding is slightly out of tune, if you listen closely.
That’s from 17 years ago.
Here is the actual article he did about his Amp Shopping experience on the Troy Grady website dated April 10th 2007
According to yelp the location he visits " Ultra Sound Rehearsal Studio" in NYC has permanently closed. Looks like they may have moved nearby.
Someone mentions in the YT comments that he is using a floyd rose speedloader system.
He also plays the piano:
200 is bluesy, slow playing for CTC standards.
