Torn by Toad the Wet Sprocket contributed by Ryan Houlette Revisions by: Scott Josselyn and Walter Tien To do the cool shimmering guitar at the beginning, turn your volume knob down low and strum the chord, using your pinky finger to turn up the volume knob. If you do it right, you'll get virtually no attack on your strum. [the riff] The riff doesn't sound good unless it's backed by a bass. If you're just playing this acoustically, play the chords.
