Brad Barr’s Sewing Thread Trick: A Tutorial

Brad Barr of the Barr Brothers demonstrates one of his trademark guitar effects: A simple nylon sewing thread tied to his guitar string around the bridge.

The technique, inspired by Romanian violinist Nicolae Neacsu, is basically free (just find some sewing thread) and produces a haunting drone effect.

While Brad was here, we also interviewed him for the Fretboard Journal Podcast, Ep. 551.
