I have gone through 1000 comments and I will answer some of the ones that is recurring a ton.
Q: Why did you not make the guitar be able to switch between guitar, bass and fretless with the motor?
A: That was the original intend of the motor, we had encoder and code all set up. However, I had to get this video out this year because I had already delayed it several months for the sponsor. I also spent 1 week burning up motor drivers and potentiometers because the first stepper I got was overpowered for the drivers. I’m also bd at electronics.
But one truly cool thing with positioning and stuff Is that you could have presets of neck movements. Like rhythmic spinning back and forth in patterns that fits the song?
Q: You should have used a slip ring for the pickups, it allows cables to spin.
A: This was the first thing that was tried, but I cut it from the vid. A slipring would work fine, it would just be slightly more complicated to integrate into the design VS bluetooth. However a slipring also introduces noise when spinning. I couldn’t hear any real life improvement vs the wireless system so I just went with the easiest for now.
Q: The guitar pickup should be mounted on the guitar in a curvature so only the front facing strings makes sound.
A: This was the first approach but some downsides didn’t make this solution good when going into the details.
curved pickups to this degree does not exist currently so you would have to invent a new method of making pickups. This would add 3-4 weeks to project minimum.
The height of the pickups is extremely important. If you look at your electric guitar you can see that each pickup is adjusted to the 1/10 of a millimeter for that particular string. If the pickups doesn’t move with the string. The loudness would be impossible to balance.
Using single pickups, the string could land inbetween the pickups. Even if ratcheting design was used. The string spacing is not the same on bass section as guitar section.
I personally was more into the idea of spin chords and stuff and it wouldn’t work with this idea.
Q: You should have done xxx it would be way more practical.
A: This guitar is not made to be sold or practical. It’s entertainment engineering and I do it just because ‘it would be cool if’.
Q: I want to buy it, how much?
A: The cost would be ridiculous to buy this particular one. I think in total we put in 800 hours into this? But if you are simply interested in how much it would cost to build another version. I can try to break it down.
Headless tuners/bridges = 700-1200 USD in total depending on brand.
Custom made pickups = 450USD
Strings: 150 USD for a set ( high price for the giga thick strings)
Wireless system = 150 USD or something
Besides this, we mostly used PLA and wood. You could of course find workarounds to keep prices lower. But if you count labour cost of workarounds it would end up even more expensive likely.
so this is what it feels to be first
Tryed putting a bass string next to a normal string so you can have a 12 string guitar effect but with a bass sound instead?
No joke nice prototype I think people would buy that it’s a novelty but it looks fun. In my opinion, it will be sick as heck if there was like a button on the guitar, you could press that spins the neck to the exact position you want it. Really neat. Good job it’s hilarious. And I’m not kidding. I think people would buy that it’s funny and looks like it’s fun just as a joke even.
You better put a patent on that lol no joke you should that’s impressive. You can make millions of dollars just selling that thing as a joke you gotta be kidding me. Lock it down now it doesn’t cost a lot of money.
I am not especially musical but I find your videos fascinating. It's the engineering aspect that interests me but even I can see a LOT of potential with this invention in the right musical hands. And that's what this is: a musical invention--a NEW instrument. Put this out there. Someone is going to show interest. I can foresee a bit more work on figuring out how best to control the spinning but that's relatively easy with modern hardware and programming. The hard part is done and it works! Don't be surprised if you are contacted by investors who want to take your prototype and bring it to market. Choose wisely and don't give up your ownership. You are an inventor. Take inspiration from other inventors who came before you, learn their stories and don't get stuck in a bad deal that sounds like a great deal at the time. You might even reach out to some of them. James Dyson comes to mind. He had to fight to keep his patents but he managed it. You will too. Don't just take the first deal you're offered because it is first. It likely won't be the best for you.
Will you complete the guitar before you hand it to a musician? Those preset positions would be the most worthwhile feature it's missing
You gotta get Rob Scallon to play this thing
He'd slay
I was just about to comment the exact same thing lmao
omg yes! Rob Scallion would be super interesting.
So would Sammy G
Send it to Tim Henson
or maybe try Ola Englund. He'd avoid the airport problem since he's also in Sweden
Hey, engineer here. Instead of making it spin use a pedal board to trigger preset locations so you can quickly switch back and forth to different ranges
This!
Yes, Genius! Add a geared rotation so that it stays when you put it on pedalled preset
Trust him, he's an engineer...
yo pin this shit
Exactly
9:22 "This material is going to be stiffer than other materials, that are less stiff" 🔥
Inverse prostate surgery?
That’s like the same as the quote “u can tell it’s an aspen tree by the way it is” lol
English is a second language there and the he does quite well but there’s bound to be double negatives in a second language my German atrocious.
This is why we come here: to get valuable insights just like this! Haha! 🤣 But seriously, cool build! Even though I have big hands (to go along with being 1.94M tall (6'4")), it would be a real bugger to get used to such a thick neck -- and my hand positions can be bad enough as it is on a normal neck!
I love how here "it completely and utterly failed" is a part of the process.
I feel so motivated after watching your videos
That is just another part of the design process
You just invented a new string instrument. Literally. This is legitimately a new instrument. Imagine what kind of music can be played on it in ten years? Fifty? This is a masterable instrument. Give people the chance to learn this thing and it will be AMAZING.
I imagine people would do some sick basslines on it.
You can even improve with new versions. There is much potential with this!
Since this is inspired by someone else's idea, this is innovation, not invention. But I do agree that this could be awesome for future musicians for the versatility of sound ✨
Eh, prolly not. Who else is going to make this?
@johndoe probably the same thing said about literally every instrument
Honestly, I wasn't expecting THAT when you said "lets try shredding on this thing"
Literally shredded... cheese. 🤣
I laughed so hard
If the spinning was in a clockwise direction it would not catch your fingers on the fret board so easily. Did anybody else notice this?
@@MrDegsy69 From the point of view of the player, I think it already is clockwise. But yeah was also thinking that. Of course your thumb is going to be there, but still. And it'd also make sense to me, since it'd be a downstroke, which I think of as "the normal" way to strike chords. =)
same
Recommendations: Stepper motor, pedal or button to have a few key controls.
1. move to specific rotation, so your hands can jump back to a specific feature.
2. Try harmonics while its spinning. I imagine a slight offset on the timing for a soft finger rest and pick impact,
3. spinnning stably, pick locked in place hits every string as it passes. use the slide to set the not (use a rounded slide, your not one a flat guitar :D ) and also have a cushion or something to mute the string after it passes. using the slide to change the primary note, and then with the second hand, align the finger to various harmonics points.
Sounding crazy, but this looks pretty awesome, and like its the birth of a new guitar, with just a few kinks to work out, and figure out a real calling. And just flat out, the bottom of this is looking incredible.
Yours is an awesome comment. Great ideas.
Love the Gattling Guitar!
My jaw is on the floor. This is the sickest thing EVER!!

Ever. I cant wait for a rock band to pick this up.
You created a new class of guitar or at-least subclass.
Hell Yeah...Its not just guitar!!! It's bass guitar, contrabass, cello, violin and guitar in one instrument!!! And he could use loop pedal to play them all at the same time!!! Just Genius!!! 👏👏👏
I wanna see a steady sweep pick
Make sure you get your patent for this and mass produce it. You have essentially created a new instrument. Great work!
Exactly what I was thinking, this is groundbreaking atm
Public disclosure and publishing of an invention before filing will typically exclude it from being patented. FWIW.
Why is that? Just curious. @@christophertyrrell4018
It's already public .
I agree with you and do it quickly, At least he has this video to prove he did design it and built it.
So refreshing to see a bright mind take the chance and be so devoted to making a new concept into reality. Huge congratulations!
Blues would be absolutely awesome with that. That 360 build is insane, hope to see plenty more
This honestly feels like it could be an amazing instrument with the right person dedicated to learning it.
Too bad Prince isn't still alive. He would figure out how to play it in about 12 seconds, and be a master of it in another 20.
zip it up when you're done LOL
@@j0mbie
@@j0mbieprince was overrated asf. Yall over hype that weirdo 🤣🤣🤣 dude wasn’t even that good of a singer
get one of these to Weird Al Yankovic. he'll figure it out in no time, then learn how to play it 20% faster.
@@KraveSanity You eat a lot of paint chips as a kid?
Dude 😂 I was dying. As an Engineer and a guitar player of 20yrs I approve of this debauchery. Keep up the good work 👍
I'm not finished with the vid yet but I'm hollering about open tunings, that's the move!
As a drummer i am in total admiration. Fantastic how they solved so many hard to solve technical issues.
Well done all involved.
The guitar saber, the groove is strong in this one
At 2.48 in, I'm just blown away with the engineering creativity that you've put into this. I don't know if its gonna work or if itll be playable musically, but I salute your ingenuity and commitment. Respect
It's like someone badly described a hurdy gurdy as something like "an instrument with a bit that rotates and a bunch of strings" and you were like "sure I can make that!".
I love how it sounded with the bow
This also feels more dangerous than than a hurdy gurdy with the exposed spinning strings.
@@keirasullivan7953 I'd definitely have the motor spinning the other way, that way it's not anywhere nearly as likely to catch a finger because the default direction of motion would pull the finger away from the string rather than push it into the string.
You can, left foot is direction change button. You can see it changes direction a lot in the vid!
You’re right, I was thinking you could get one of those electronic ebows that make it sound like you’ve got a constant drone on the strings. And then was trying to remember what sound that would be similar to. And it would be like he had invented the hurdy-gurdy. 😂
Wait. Are there electric hurdy gurdies?
"This thing is going to be stiffer than other materials that is less stiff." What a poet
trully the quote of all time
imagine showing up to an airport and explaining that this contraption that looks like a minigun is actually an electric guitar
this is absolutely revolutionary
Bro your editing went to a whole new level. Such good quality video. Your previous videos were good too, but it’s so much better now!
✨broken and cylindrical✨
Thank you!! I spent a little extra days editing this because I really believed in the project!
@@Mattiaskrantz You do believe in weird projects. Then again, all of your projects are weird. In a good way.
Dude! This might actually have been the first REAL invention in string instruments in over... maybe 2 or 5 decades at least! PLEASE get this out to Davie and Rob. They will have sooooo much fun with this, and I hope to see it in casual music videos in like 10 years from now, being played as if things have always been this way
This is quite similar to some models of hurdy gurdy
Davie won’t budge, because of his arrogant obsession with bass.
No. This is ritarded
a couple years ago some scientist made a spiderweb shaped harp like instrument while they were studying how spiders sense things on their web, it doesn't sound great but it is new
@@TheDan14 That actually sound kind of cool, I love spiders, but, if I play with girl’s g string and find a new way to make it make a sound with midi or something how great is that? If I take a shit and when I flush the toilet have the toilet mechanically make a jingle, is that a brilliant new thing? No, because it would sound like shit. I know those weren’t that funnyof examples but you get my point. If it sounds like shit, what is the point really? It’s a rhetorical question, just my .02
I wonder what those microtonal guitar players would make of this.
This is crazy cool! Like an inverse hurdy-gurdy.
unpopular opinion: i would pay good money to see what Wes Borland could do if you gave him a week alone practicing with this thing
Suggestion:
I hear a high noise floor being picked up when you are playing. Having individual pickups means you can control how you wire them. You could make pairs with one of them phase swapped, it would work like a humbucker and cancel the background noise.
I will assume you just wired them all in paralell and maybe it made the impedance way lower than what should be expected for a guitar transmitter too. After all this work, should at least be worth a try, wiring pickup pairs in series and opposed phase as I said, and then in paralell with the next pair, then in series with the next set and etc.
If you can get your hands on a multimeter and measure the coil resistance, it might be worth arrange your sets to hit the 8-14K ohms in total when its all connected.
I love your creativity and admire your discipline in building such challenge concepts in real life.
Please keep it up o/
You’re right. I just wired then in parallel! I did get a big book about guitar electronics. But I never read it. But it gets worse. The pickups are not even soldered, I just twisted them together and used wago clips to make the connections😂 The good news with this is that from here on, it can only get better. Thanks for the advice!🙏🙏
@@Mattiaskrantzwell the good news is there's a lot more than can be done to make this playable :)
@@Mattiaskrantzalso get a nose gate pedal once you do the rewire, it’ll clean up the rest of the nasty noise.
You should collab lol
@@Mattiaskrantzthat just means you can improve it with less effort!
I'm so proud of you for making it actually playable after all of those community posts describing the issues! Great job finishing it out in the end, and PLEASE reach out directly to Davie and Rob Scallon. Those madmen are likely to be very interested in attempting this!
I would watch the fk out of either of those guys trying to play this thing
The gadget is good but why u put parmesan on it?
Or Samurai Guitar
I think this has great potential
It's the new violin, Gatlin z Manuel tar..
Ah, GZM tar.
I am so proud of you for making this new musical instrument.
Nothing more metal than a guitar that might break your fingers if you don't play it right. Awesome. 🤘
12:22 "this is probably dangerous" is literally my favorite phrase to come out of any of your guitar or piano videos, literally the definition of this channel to me 😂
" if I just put some electricety on these hammer, that could be fun...." ...
What can be cooler than a guiitar that looks like a Minigun and are so dangerus it could kill you?
You need to watch styropyro then
Nice, just like the machining industry, mistakes will lose fingers. Strict music teachers will love it.
What song does he play there?
in my mind this has rob scallon written all over it, id love to see what he'd come up with
It really does lol. He'd also nail it first try
and with more on somewhat technical and fun insights with it, rob scallon is definitely the way
Where’s Jimi Hendrix when you need him?
BEST QUESTION EVER!!!
Now you just have to invent a spinning guitarist to play it.
I'm gonna tell my kids and grandchildren in the future that I was lucky enough to witness one of the coolest guitar concepts I've ever seen. The amount of effort, patience and trials you guys spent on this is so unbelievable. Hats off.
Guys we're in the Golden Era of this guitar!... before they require a big red ugly killswitch and a 30 minute safety training video on pinch points - amazing engineering

The Gatling gun of guitars. Your perseverance and ability to work through problems is so inspiring.
@@AugustusSericusLutrathe Gatling Guitar! I came here to say the same thing!

I used to work on miniguns and that was the first thing I thought of!
You're an actual engineer for this one, props to you man
As soon as I saw that thing, I thought
“Who let the military get their hands on a guitar”
An actual mini gun of a guitar
I think this is the closest to "an actual thing" you've ever built, and I honestly could see this being an actually performable instrument.
I mean, it got structure, it got function, hegg it even looks hella cool!
is this guy an engineer or something?
@@Kruzhh He's a low tier mad scientist at this point.
I feel the need for a Rob scallion collaboration.
his pianos can be played, they're just a bit impractical.
Agreed. Now just make it gas powered like the other one!
I'm a CAD Design Engineer, so I found the "mirror" moment especially funny. I hope you kept the original models for a left-handed version.
The skill ceiling on this thing has gotta he insane
That guitar looks like some kind of a legendary gun in an FPS game and looks cool
Yeah this is probably your best video so far, because this went beyond a novelty just for the memes, you've created something genuinely playable (with a lot of practice, of course). This is actually so awesome.
I think the water piano was even crazier. That one really blew my mind, this ....well, still miles above my lazy old head, but not as satisfying as the water grand piano, haha!
I wish i had an ounce of this boy's mental capacities. Or even a gram would do.
@@lowandodor1150 The water and electric piano is crazier in a sense, but it has no real use beyond novelty, it's hardly hold a tune.
This guitar on the other hand did actually hold up, playable, and has reasonable sound output which has a real potential for use in actual musical session, which is why i agree this is so far his best creation.
@@dalfifran7572 Well if your focus is on real use, then sure.
Please don't stop practicing on this. I just know that once the instrument is mastered, it will be awesome. ❤
Imagine the dooo on this
“But your kids are gonna love it.” 🎸
You need to make a really cool carrying case that lets you see the guitar through the case, I never seen your videos before, but watching this video convinced me to subscribe and like.
Not only does Mattias Krantz make guitar strings of horse hair, put helium in a guitar, make a gas electric guitar, make a guitar string out of spider webs, he also make a spinning base guitar. This really indicates that this guy is a legend and a master of creating guitars as well as guitar strings.
MASTER ENGINEER
I hope the European Guitar Builders and the Association of Stringed Instruments Artisans would recognized his works
this doesnt indicate anything other than he's a guy who likes to try "things"
@@hazardeur Took him three iterations of this to reinvent the truss rod, a central component of most guitars for about a century, so you might be right. 😅
I love how Matthias shows his thought process, all the difficulties, all the help he got, everything that goes into engineering. And then everything is nicely condensed into a short video with no unnecessary filling and some well placed humor. Never thought that my favorite engineering channel would be a guy making absurd instruments!
Thank you!🥹 I tried my best on this one happy you liked it!!
I enjoy as well the whole (summarized) thinking process. That's the engineer in Mattias!
A mind of a true engineer
So give Mattias Krantz an instrument, Captain America a shield, Ikenna a language book, Mr.Beast a Camera, Matt Stone a food collection, Mark Rober a contraption, I swear they make crazy stuff and probably rule the world.
Man, someone needs to make a fan-made Animusic animation with this.
11:50 to 11:55 feels like the very beginning of what music played on a revolving guitar would sound like way into the future. Like, a flawless transition from guitar to bass and back. This could be in a sci-fi movie!

As much as I enjoy the video length, I also feel that you should get your time and money's worth for how long it took you to make this. The same way the piano videos paid for itself.

There’s so much left to refine on it. I don’t know if you know that you’re literally sitting on a gold mine. There’s so many iterations you can make once you have a working prototype that’s a simplified. It’ll be a programmable guitar. Like a midi pad controller for DJ’s but for guitar players. The possibilities are endless.
as a product designer for the past 25+ years....this is sooooo sick! nicely executed. I can see more iterations in the future! Love the innovation. Love your failures and how you made improvements.
This guitar deserves its own class of instrument. Imagine what such an instrument could do in the right hands. It would look as amazing as it sounds.
This guitar is an interesting concept. I remember hearing about this from someone. I pray everyone who is reading this is doing well in the Name of Yahusha, Jesus, amein. Please, read this important message below.
Greetings, everyone! I have a very important question for you. Will you go to shamayim (heavens) when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used Elohiym’s (Almighty’s) name in vain or lusted (which Yahusha [Jesus] said was adultery, Matthew 5:28)? If so, Elohiym sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemer, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there’s Good News. Though we broke Elohiym’s Law, Yahusha paid the fine by dying on the stake: “Elohiym so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Bēn (Son), that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Then Yahusha rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds (it’s no fairytale, it’s the truth). He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior and Messiah. Please, today, repent (turn) from sin and believe the gospel (Good News) and look for a believer and follower of Yahusha to baptize you in the Name of Yahusha ha’Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah) for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Ruach ha’Qodesh (Holy, Set-apart Spirit). For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as YaHUaH our Elohiym shall call (Acts 2:38-39). Pray and read the Scriptures daily and obey it. Do you suffer from pain, sickness or troubles in your family, job or living situation? You can pray to your Father in the shamayim (heavens) and ask Him to help you in the Name of Jesus. You can also get in contact with another believer of Jesus and come in agreement in prayer because Jesus said, “That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in the shamayim. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:19-20)” Jesus is coming back quickly to judge the living and the dead. Will you go to the shamayim (heavens) when you die? Shalom shalom (perfect peace and wholeness) to you all.

Like the Theremin. Way before it's time. But Led Zeppelin used it.
@@tadeoguerra3320Next best choice since Eddie VanHalen is not available.
This is what happens when u ask Terminator to design a killer guitar😂
it's a fantastic instrument, and i hope to hear more of it. the tuning problem is due to the neck being too flexible - i would get rid of the center bolt and spacers, and make the neck out of a single piece of large diameter aluminum pipe. frets would be wires stuffed in drilled holes.
This is one of the most unique guitar-related things that I have ever seen. You deserve some type of award for the creation of this thing. I hope you can make some sort of deal with a company to produce these instruments and make them available to the entire world!
Some design addition ideas:
1. Add a rigid half cylinder shaped support from the body asking the neck to the end to keep from touching strings you're not actively playing as well as to brace the neck. It would also allow for a more stylish end that may or may not rotate.
2. Use position sensors to only activate the pickups on strings you're playing to reduce noise from ones you're handling with the web of your hand.
3. Program rotational stops using a stepper motor to rotate to specific locations to play bass or guitar and activate using the pedal position. This way you can quickly and accurately jump to where you want it to go in addition to free or motorized spinning.
do a "crankshaft" sensors to only send the sound of the upfront strings to the Bluetooth
Maybe build a rig for the pickups that's on the outside of the neck instead of on it?
So the pickups stay stationary while the strings move underneath it
@@yannickdewit7089this is clearly the solution
@@yannickdewit7089 Not sure how bad the effect would be but that would cause a doppler shift as the string moves away from one pickup and towards another.
Stepper motor is the first thing that comes to mind.
I admire your dedication and PERSISTENCE soooo much!!!!!!!! Keep creating dude 😄
If you don't call this beauty Gatling guitar, I'm gonna be moody for a week. What an incredible project.
This is unironically one of your best ideas yet. Like if someone properly skilled at guitar would sit down and learn this some banger ass tunes could be made
You would need someone which has 3 important skills 1 plays guitar 2 plays bass 3 has advanced spatial awareness
I can't believe how much you evolved as a youtuber since your first viral. REALLY great job, not only on your projects, but as a content creator itself, awesome work dude.
I really hope a university sees this video and continues sponsorship to make this new instrument a thing
15:29 The drone sounds amazing on this thing, like a portal to another dimension!! Lean into that and lean into its possibility to create and snowball sound 💯 A new instrument is born; I can see this not even being played traditionally. It’s going to have a whole different approach. Freakin beautiful, I would love to play around with this 💗
You better patent that ASAP. That's a multimillion dollar invention. When you think you've perfected it (and it looks quality), give one to a well-known guitar player as a gift. Well done.
100% this
Its already public. No shot
@@MinkFicklethis video is proof of design and concept though-
@@3meleon by design it's a completely different guitar, and it's totally fine to take certain design cues from other inventions as long as you aren't completely copying them, as he said their design was floppy and didn't work well, he fixed all the problems they faced and made an actual finished product that could definitely be argued as different, for one it has almost double the strings their design had, and it has an electric motor to rotate the neck with a foot pedal control.
1- patents take several bureaucratic years to be put in place, so his idea would be protected in 2030.
2- this isn't proven to work reliably. It's no more than a unexplored toy at the moment, so there's no reason why companies would want to invest in manufacturing infrastructure and start producing it. They're already making money. They might be interested in the idea, but they would have to invest time and resources experimenting with it, before they could ever start producing something for real.
3- the necessity for patents is quite debatable. Investors and engineers are often more likely to reach out to the inventor and try to collaborate with him, than to try pitch an idea they don't even fully understand to someone else who's never even seen it before and start from complete scratch. There's a reason why many inventors earn royalties: because companies are interested in buying ideas from the person who actually knows all the details of how they work.
Patents are usually more useful for a company to protect itself against competition. In other words, they're one of the many ways the government allows anti-competitiveness to exist.
your one-liners had me ROFL. " order it so you can smoke some second-hand plywood too." "This thing is going to be stiffer than other materials that is less stiff." "This thing is getting closer and closer to an airport ban" "I built the guitar body with a technique I think guitar builders would rank right up there with a war crime." Loved your bravery, tenacity, and humor!
All the problems went out to get some milk lol
This looks like the most BADASS guitar ive ever scene
I could imagine an anime where some eccentric villain shows up with a machine gun guitar and plays an epic solo while shooting at the protagonists 😅
Good for you for sticking with it. I bet if you find the right musician, they will make it sing❤❤🤘
Mate… I don’t play the guitar… but I am an engineer… and you sir…. are an absolute legend! What an amazing build
9:20 "This thing is going to be stiffer than other materials that are less stiff" I'm dying lmao
I lost it at "FUCK LEGO, WE'RE USING HUGE ALUMINIUM PIPE!"
Further more it was "is less stiff", so it's even more chaotic
@@anthonyvadala4837 Same. Tho the funniest part for me was the "This is it! This is the moment that everyone skips to!"
10:51 He’s hilarious! 😭 he got me again at “it’s like all the problems went to get some milk” lol
I came here to spesifically comment this. but you did it first
The master guitarist Roy Clark would have loved that challenge. He once stated he could play anything with strings, and I believe him. Of course, he has passed but if you don't know who he is, you don't know strings...period!
Awesome!!! I love this design. Bravo Bravo 👏👏👏
Suggestion: You should be able to program the motor to move a set distance and then stop. This way you can have a button (or buttons) on the ground that changes it over to the next set of strings. If you want it to still be able to cycle freely you'd need to program it to know where each set of strings are.
lol i should have read the comments i added turn it into like a auto piano player with picks instead of paper holes lol
I had the exact same idea. Put in a Servo and an encoder. Than make small buttons for 1 turn. 1/2 turn, 1/4 turn or what ever seems practical. I think Arduino should be capable. With a powerbank still remote.
@@StinkyHeXoR I was looking for this comment, there is a way to make this work like you say with a stepper motor, I imagine you'd have to push the specific buttons with you foot or maybe an eye piece and look at the button like people with a disability do 😀 Where there is a crazy will there is a way
I really look up to folks who brush off setbacks like they're nothing and just keep pushing forward, never giving up!
Right, let's waste more and more time on something so obviously ridiculous. I'm embarrassed I watched half of this video .
@@sheckygagstein8966 ok but this is cool
@@sheckygagstein8966glad you decided to waste even more writing this comment
Algorithm algorithm. This is next-level. I'm almost standing on my chair, cheering you on throughout the course of this video.
Unlimited Potential. Truly next level concept. When somebody masters it.....? Only then will the world know what you created. Great Job!
instead of a regular motor, use a stepper motor and g-code to program specific spin distances on a button pedal based on songs you want to play. Every time you press the button, it turns a perfect number of strings around based on the code. Please make another video about this thing, it’s awesome.
I was thinking the same thing... stepper motor and or a servo!
A stepper motor is exactly what this needs. You don't want to go by feel, you want to know exactly where everything is going to be after you step on the pedal.
No need for a stepper. A good magnetic encoder and some code is all you need :)
The amount of effort that went into this is crazy. I hope Davie or any of the other guitar/bass TH-camrs see this and collaborate with you on it!!
Research scale length from nut to saddle. For example baritone vs. bass guitar vs. various 6 string scale lengths
that was hypnotic while spinning! Sometimes with the curved lines the whole thing seemed to invert from concave to convex! Kinda trippy
Petition to get Rob Scallon to play this.
Signed
😂😂😂
As a retired luthier who used to exhibit and sell my guitars all over the world, I can safely say that is damn cool! Well done!
Your profession sounds just as cool as this guitar! I bet your story would make a very interesting video. I've never met a professional guitar craftsman.
@@olliefoxx7165 I had a good career, had a lot of press, won many awards and did well, but it made me very sick. I developed allergy related asthma due to working with all of the tropical woods for so many years. That was a long time ago now though, you move on... Thank you!
I'd love to see some of your work. You must've had a really great time with such a cool career.
What brand were your guitars marketed under?
Sure you did.
“This thing is going to be stiffer than OTHER materials that is less stiff.” Well spoken, sir! Hahah
That Xtool camera guidance is incredibly good
We need to see Rob Scallon make a song with this creation
9:45 "It's time for the moment everyone skips to"
This is gold :D
PLEASE SEND THIS TO THE DOOO!!!!! Yalls calab would be amazing! Great work btw very impressive and intelligent!
This looks like an epic colab series in the making. Eventually there will be something really interesting.
Oh man, this is incredible. You literally just created a new musical instrument with so much new potential. I can see this actually becoming a thing and people buying these guitars in the future. You should patent or license it or sth.
Yeah, he should DEFINITELY patent the living *shit* out of everything about this masterpiece. It's completely insane, and wonderful, that's why I know someone will steal the idea unless it's protected.
Yes, someone else might want to build an impractical instrument that sounds awful.
@PhpGtr right now, I'm on your side, this thing seems silly. Buuut, I'll bet there's plenty of people that said the same thing about the theramin. Never know. Someone might crack it.
@@PhpGtr Got some pretty unique sounds out of this, and it's only the first build with an unpracticed hand.
While i'm not expecting anything that exceeds the norm, i'm certain this could carve it's own little niche community.
@@PhpGtr "who would ever need this wheel thing, its impractical complicated and doesn't even work" ~ a caveman like you
Would be crazy if you added in presets to lock the motors in the three different positions, and then a free spin mode - that is absolutely badass
Glad to see this suggestion. You could really get crazy and make some cool music too. Think of adding a program, cpu, and positional sensors. It could run the rotation and braking for a song you came up with yourself. Or from your favorite bands. It could spin and brake on the next chord position automatically. You just need to finger the chord or use the slider. It could also cut pickups that are not in use to clean up the sound before spinning changes, or during them. You could also control the rotation, speed, brake, etcetera, with a peddle think rotary tool like a shop Dremel tool with a pedal for control.
I think that you can get this dialed in over time. Better pickups and electronics, plus engineering revisions to the neck and body. If you use two metal rings that divide the strings from the electrics. The connections needed could be made to the rings on each of their respected halves. Once the pieces are mated together, the rings spin on top of each other completing the circuit. Without ever posing a risk of tangling. You could also cut output to certain degrees of the circle connections to improve sound when not needed. In theory you could tune different sections to how they suit the song. Rotating to whichever tuning you program for the song.
So much potential. You have provided a working proof of concept. Hopefully you develop it more. It is gimmicky. But it is also cool and fun. Great project. I wonder if in order to make it more practical. You should think about creating a triangle that spins as the neck/ fretboard you choose. Giving you three flat changeable surfaces that you can play easier. Giving you a guitar, a bass, and whatever else you choose. Like a Key-tar (I’m joking.)
Nice problem solving, fabrication and design. Thanks for sharing. Best of luck.
Exactly my first thought! Super fast spin and stops with maybe 3 or 4 foot pedals for each atop. Then it made me think the bass is pointless and just have 6 string 12 string and nylon string to choose from? Then though, maybe round is not needed and can go with a 3 sided rotating neck.
Hi. Having the possibility of playing 2 musical instruments in one is really cool. Congratulations on your invention.
When you think the Hydra is the most crazy guitar ever made, you come up with a mini gun guitarbass.
