incredible! I too agree that Zappa would have had you in his troupe, for sure. I was wondering tho;

were you regulating the pitch with the whammy, or were you making the pitches with you hands and just using the whammy to achieve higher/lower octaves?

Again, good show. you should post more vids if you go them!

i am making the pitches with my hands and just using the whammy to achieve higher/lower octaves.

Frank Zappa would be proud and have gotten a kick out of this. No doubt in my mind.

Id love to hear you do In-A-Gadda-Vida by Iron Butterfly using this, ahem, unusual technique of music making. :-)

The expression on his face is just the clincher. It's like, he knows he's got it, and he ain't afraid to flaunt it, he's the hand-fart-sound master and he knows it.

[nickca420]

You are my hero. This video is pure joy.

[arturoriosp]

[sneakonproductionz]

[DrLocust]

This is one of the hardest songs to play on any instrument, let alone, your hands. Nice job!
