I would need a small engine attached to my fingers to play this.

[musanim]

@fandamme You have one: it's called "a brain."

[jonsnow121]

Visual music for the deaf!

[foregarn]

Thank you so much for this one. After watching the Asturias video I immediately thought how nice it would be to see the Recuerdos animated in a similar manner.

@musanim It isn´t very difficult, you just need to practice a lot like 1000 times, my father plays it and he has 56 years, (gives concerts some times)

@ZomgGuitarz1234 Congratulations for stating the obvious.

This is so worth no dislikes. I'm 13 and I love it.

[ZomgGuitarz1234]

I think he uses 3 fingers to pick each string independently, rather than using a pick to pick them all one at a time.

@MohammedTheBabyRaper "How can a brain play the guitar? It can't." Hmm. Have you heard of a metaphor?

And, after seeing some of your other comments, I beseech you not to reply to this one. Thank you very much.

On a more positive note, yes, this is amazing. Amazing skill, amazing animation.

@dagorlad3 WE DON'T HAVE THE POWER CAPTAIN!

[ThrashGuitarMan]

@dagorlad3 ...sure.

@musanim 'You have one: it's called "a brain."'

That's ironic.

How can a brain play the guitar? It can't.

My fingers are bleeding. And I haven't even looked at a guitar (tonight).

But, not to be a jackass....

You are incredible.

@ThrashGuitarMan well, uhhh perhaps he could reverse the polarity and send the flux energy towards his fingers. Quickly Data, we must reroute your positronic matrix thru the antimatter field to offset the loss of containment on the dilithium crystals.

Idk lol.

[ThrashGuitarMan]

@musanim How is his brain attached to his fingers? :P

Also, the brain's not an engine...
