WARR Guitar - It’s a 12 string, multi-tone guitar. Typically they’re strung with 6 bass strings & 6 guitar strings, & usually played by tapping or slapping.

Why? Just incredible, haunting melodies & rhythms that I really wish I had a recording of. It was a counterintuitive playing style for me watching it live, but the performer was smooth & fluid; mesmerizing.

Also Why… I went to a private music festival on a farm in rural NC & traded some moonshine for some shrooms. I’d never done shrooms, oops…

Apparently I disappeared with a friend into the woods behind the stage for more than an hour. Problem was, my friend returned after 20 minutes.

Around the time someone considered calling an adult, I returned and promptly managed to get up on the stage, walked out & sat down cross legged.

I don’t remember any of that, but I do remember the performer on stage was playing a WARR Guitar & I was beyond fascinated.

I’m not going to tell you that performance sobered me up, it definitely did not, but I remember it amongst the fog.

He actually came back up later in the night & jammed with a bluegrass band, laying down a fair bit of improvisation. It was all really impressive.

It was a small festival, like real small, maybe 25 tents? For the most part, we were all friends of a performing band local to home, & the bands were all friends & family.

Don’t want to give off the impression that I got high & ruined someone’s performance or evening. I was definitely disrespectful getting up on stage, but I kept my top on & didn’t touch anything.

I’ve been told I kept it between the ditches that night; just kinda peacefully plopped my butt down next to the music man after toddler’n off for a few hours.

Anywho… here’s an ad for pedals, that showcases the guitar, & is akin to what I heard that evening.
