Hahahaha.. kk, so i basically just started playing it on camera, and just kept trying to go faster and faster.. it isn't nicely pieced together, and i was UNable to play the crazy random riff that he does during the fast part.. so all it basically is, is me trying to play it as fast as i can..

enjoy

@ShiekahTribe - Right. I know what you mean. The nylon would wind into a big gob on such a small post. Wouldn't be practical, even though it might, somehow, be possible if one HAD to do it, let's say. But yeah, you're right.

dont crack your knuckles if you plan on playing in old age lol

@inky960 Yeah okay, didn't know that... Nevertheless steel strings are bent heavier when you wind them up on this kind of headstock. I guess if you tried to do this with the nylon strings (which - as you may know - are thicker than the steel strings), you wouldn't have enough space left to wind enough of the string up to make sure it won't slip. A standard classical guitar has enough space to do this as the headstock is different. Do you know what I mean? I'm just talking about my experience :)

@ShiekahTribe Ummm... you can get nylon strings with ball ends, and I don't see why they wouldn't wind around a vertical tuning post. I'm not saying this guy IS using nylon -- he obviously isn't, now that my sound is working properly! Ha. With my laptop speakers, they really sounded like nylon. Sheesh.

@inky960 You just have to take a look at the headstock. When there are no holes in it, it can't be nylon strings.

Wow Nicely played !

[RaptorJMR]

@inky960 no.

[inky960]

Yeah - fine playing. Cool sound, too -- are those nylon strings?
