Have you seen this one?
A few years ago, a guy put his iPhone 4 into his acoustic guitar (with the camera lens facing the sound hole) and recorded the entire experiment on video using the phone's camera.
I guess he wanted to see what acoustic guitar strings look like when they're being played. What he captured is mesmerizing, as many would agree.
Many, however (as you can see from some very recent 2015 comments on this 2011 video), are calling this a hoax. Here are some examples:
- * "This is fake. Sounds change speed to accomplish different notes, they don't change shapes. Sounds can have different shapes, but it would sound distorted; not like this."
- * "I smell bullshit. Cheesy iPhone technology bullshit."
- * "This is fake, the video should be slowed like x20 before that would be even possible (it is not even, if we would do that). People plz don't look at this kind of bullshit, and most important, don't believe it."
What's your opinion? Remember you could always try it yourself—especially if you still have an iPhone 4 (and not a 3, 5 or a 6).
“I only used the back pickup. Ozzy hates the sound of the front pickup. He calls it the ‘cow tone’”: Bursting with ideas but deferential to Ozzy Osbourne, a young Zakk Wylde had interesting guitar instructions upon joining the legendary frontman's band
“It was very simplistic compared to my later compositions”: It may have been inspired by the Kinks, but Al Di Meola's Race with Devil on Spanish Highway is one of the great virtuoso displays in guitar history. Watch the maestro play it with Steve Vai
