You think the strings are slack on that guitar, or is it tuned standard? Either wouldn't surprise me, though. Way cool looking.
Used to be, was a part of me felt like hiding.. but now it comes through. Comes through to you.
i'd guess theyre de-tuned for effect but it makes you think :shock:
check - volume on? yes.
check - headphones plugged in? no.
So - I wonder what it actually SOUNDED like?
:D :D :D

Those strings are definatly VERY loosely strung to being with, else the guy playing hit them *incredibley* hard! :lol:
Still amazing though :shock:

I think they're just hit hard. Strings move further than the little blur you see when you watch them vibrate - you can put your finger somewhere that doesn't look like it'll touch the blur, but you'll feel the string and hear the change - but it's not quite that much :wink:
I don't think it's slackened, as they don't move very far downwards before they ping back up. It's just a guess, but I reckon that tension would effect that more than inertia.
The clincher for me: look at the position of his finger as it hits the inside of the sound hole (Ouch!) - I can't imagine my finger being that far out of position unless I was really whacking the guitar in a way I don't usually.
Just my $0.02 :)
Yeah, I think he just really whanged it hard.

Thanks for the link, I love those super-slo-mo videos.
Just FYI, if you goto his website ( http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom7/highspeed/ with some other cool slo-mo vids) he says
I was hitting the strings really hard and it was tuned down a step or two, but strings really do wobble this much!

If they really do wobble that much, why'd they need to tune down and really hit them hard? :roll:
Nice vid, but it would have been nice to see just your average ordinary strum... and even better would be to have filmed it with an ordinary camcorder simultaniously, so we could see and hear what it was like in realtime. Still, I'm not ungrateful that they did it in the first place (high speed cameras cost thousands per day to hire :shock:), it's just a bit of a missed opportunity :(
