High Speed: Guitar strumming

[mdibound]

The "A" string does one full oscillation in ~3 seconds. 3/416 = 0.007211 F=1/T = 1/0.007211 = 138.677hz which means the string was tuned done to around a C#, so yes, it was much looser than standard tuning, but this should be obvious to anyone who plays guitar. We can all stop arguing now? Awesome!

You missed the solo at 0:16

[Realkill010]

@MARMARR1 Actually, 2nd from the smallest is moving the same as the others. As for 1st, maybe he hitted that string not so hard. That happens. A lot. I play guitar, I know.

[mutinkiller]

Loose, like your mother!

[speaker3600]

boing boing

[Oppodeldoc]

Youtube should have a third option:

"Like"

"Dislike"

"It confuses me"

[jenaidifer]

how interesting.

[StevenKeyzTube]

you guys must be board?

[singwee]

LOL

[samboy931]

Why don't you record at high speed, of a guitar string snapping???

That would be cool...

[ccggmm2534]

good idea that would be sick

[rockgodlegendary]

that would be so cool

[rbiyk]

as if under water ))

[Overchecking]

hardly any tension on those strings!

strings don't move like that fact!

[jicidodupka]

I agree with you...

[badfastbusa]

That is crazy!!! Thanks for the vid, really cool...

[suckerpinch]

I tuned all the strings down about a half step when I shot the video. In A440 they wouldn't look much different, but I didn't want to hurt my hand and didn't mind exaggerating the effect a little.

[rad4Ri]

H0LLY SHIT :D

[jiloune]

yes !!!! mon Dieu ce qu'on rate comme images !!!!

[25ds25rewq]

actually slow speed

[munhongfong]

cool

[Romanclemens619]

you love this song process? wow are you retarded and is that standard e tuning dyjk? wow freakin idiots here haha

[ygolohcysprocess]

I love this song.

[bektothebone]

What song would that be?

[dyjk]

is that a standard e tunning?

[666darren]

He sure need to tighten them strings...and learn to play faster aswell...

hehe

[1fear1the1night1]

i know right? lol

[dicacirtic]

WWOOOW do guitar strings really move that much..and that wavy!? that's amazing!

[ilkiepie45]

thats how it makes sound lol

[xpntblnkx]

if it were up to standard tuning which is 440Hz that means 440 vibrations per second per string. now thats a lot.

[sideshowrob5837]

makes me apreciate calculus a little more. but i'de rather play guitar than study graph patterns

[Gratisetamore]

a esa velocidad mas o menos toco yo... jajajajaa

esta muuy bonito.

[1slowhead]

Beautiful. A pleasure to watch.

You can pick out the harmonics sitting on top of each other! Amazing.

I've been told that there are true subsonics produced by the initial vibration of a string (10-20Hz region! However bizarre that sounds!). I couldn't be sure I was seeing that sadly.

Is it possible to re-record this with a plectrum, or one finger being used? Holding the twelve fret harmonic would be beautiful too as you could watch the node split the string up!

Ignore the idiots by the way!

[TERRANCIO]

well, of course there are sounds below 20hz, and they are NOT subsonics, are Real sounds, the thing is Humans cannot hear them, unlike elephants and stuff... by touching the string you can hear the nails and metal or nylon colliding, theres a low freq sound right there.

Also, i bet its beautiful to see it, but i remember an exercise we used to do in the Conservatory, just by listening to the Piano lower strings for a while, you could 'See' the harmonics unfolding, magic!

[Teljilad98]

To all you people out there who think his strings are loose, get some common sense. it is a SLOWED DOWN VIDEO OF VIBRATING STRINGS. IT WILL LOOK LIKE IT'S OUT OF TUNE BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE EACH INDIVIDUAL VIBRATION. Just thought I'd put that out there.

[allawil81]

if you held your guitar at an angle with a television behind you'll SEE the strings DO oscillate that irregularly. they are NOT loose, you are just ignorant.

[BrettMarler]

Sorry but you all are morons. Suckerpinch is right its a SLOW SPEED camera. The strings on a guitar will move that much but too quickly for you to perceive it correctly. You will just observe a blur of it resonating back and forth. If the strings were loose at all then they could not possibly move back and forth that quick.

[suckerpinch]

I don't think you guys understand how hard I'm hitting the strings here. They really do vibrate that much!

[countryskater5]

thts coll and all but they r tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooo loose!!!!!

[Halooverlord]

cool!

[solitary2911]

i think you need to tune your guitar.

[Cookie69776977]

Because im sure the strings move like that

[kimb0slicefan]

OMG!! that is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooo not amazing......

[marcushelbling]

what was the point of that?

[PrEtTy10ALLY]

this is lame...those strings are loose

[marcushelbling]

REEEAALLY LOOSE

[stateofmind123126]

u got bored lol

[OMGWUNSIU]

Didn't realize they moved that much... cool

[hjdgmfrf]

Those are loosened on purpose to make it look better.

[MikeyFlorida]

wooow it's cool

[suckerpinch]

The camera is high speed. The resulting video is slow motion.

[ChimearaOnFire]

umm, wouldn't that be low speed? not high speed?

[6strngplayer]

the camera is high speed hello mcfly

[cycloneweaver]

Wow ... I was surprised how much those strings moved and close they came to colliding with each other!

[gmstrong]

Wow! That's cool.
