Good News!

Now available online — an instrument demo, with songs, to provide an overview of how the instrument is made, so that you can see and hear it in use. The video not only shows how easy it can be to play two-handed touch-style, but displays our most basic instrument, the TrueTapper Eclipse.

The Eclipse is a high-end, quality instrument with brilliant sound, so that any professional musician can feel completely comfortable using it for studio recording, with all essential high-end features included. However, the Eclipse is priced so affordably that any student with a summer job can obtain the instrument.

The video also shows U.S. Manager Traktor Topaz playing two songs. (The second song is an improvisation on the same chords as the first song.) This performance shows several of the techniques that are easily learned using our ‘Easy Touch-Style Method.’

And so, for your elucidation and entertainment, we present –


PS: This is the same instrument that was used in the earlier ‘Easy Touch-Style Method’ video. However, this video was not recorded on the Mobius Space Station, which had been rented out for a party for Google executives.

Good News!

We’ve completed the first video of the “Easy Touch-Style Method” series. The purpose of the series is to provide a demo of how easy it can be to learn two-handed touch-style play using the streamlined method developed at Mobius Megatar.

The first video is an ‘Introduction,’ which simply explains what touch-style is, and provides a demo of how one can play by touch. It then shows why having more strings makes playing easier, and shows how clear it is when both hands can move exactly the same. Then, using four simple chords, we demonstrate –

  • How to arpeggiate chords in both hands using only nine notes
  • How to then change that to play roots and harmony notes with your two hands
  • How to use those bass roots to play left hand chords
  • How to use those harmony notes while playing walking bass inside the nine notes
  • How to play dual melody in both hands.
  • How to play chords and improvise
  • How to play chords and melody.

And so, for your elucidation and entertainment, we present –

PS: If you are wondering, the instrument used in the demo is our most basic instrument, the TrueTapper Eclipse. The audio recording was done entirely in Guitar Rig 2 with minimal effects. And, as you can see, the demo was filmed in the Mobius Space Station engine room.
