Slapping A 360 SPINNING GUITAR Sounds CRAZY

[@Mattiaskrantz]

Will send this to everyone who told us it was completely unplayable! Thanks for coming over Charles!

[@BartBe]

Holy shit this was a great idea!

[@prdoyle]

That doesn't work. Charles is fully capable of playing the unplayable.

[@lamegame420]

So glad this is the person you sent it to. IMO, one of the most skilled musicians out there.

[@lexx.wangmusic]

I don't think he sent it to him. ​@@lamegame420 I think he went to visit

[@jeppe5942]

I was waiting for this video since I watched the construction video😂

[@HSithis]

No one believed this thing could have any musical use when Matthias Krantz built it. And here comes Charles, not only using it flawlessly, but coming up with actual musical ideas that are impossible anywhere else. The idea of the spinning upwards melody is freaking genius

[@Ekvorivious]

EXACTLY! I am so glad I could witness the madness behind the scenes on the engineering server. I would say I contributed but honestly the guys working on modeling and electronics and solving the mechanical problems with spinning are the ones who deserve the recognition.

[@TheMemo659]

Well said, came to comment the same and now see there is no need. That thing would not be a real musical instrument to anyone other than Charles.

[@bottyhammer]

They knew they could build it They never stopped to ask if they should. Because obviously yes 😃

[@BeastOfSoda]

To be fair, it's likely that not even Matthias knew if it would have been an usable instrument. He mostly does things for the lulz, only this time the concept was practical/sensible enough to become a playable instrument in capable hands.

[@BigMuff75]

Apparently it requires an extraordinary talent such as Charles.

As soon as I saw this monster over at Mattias' channel I thought: if there is someone who can tame it, it has to be Charles!

[@davedavem]

💯

[@benjamingreve9981]

Yeah, same here!! When I saw on Charles' story him trying it out. I was super excited and have been waiting for this video for so long!

[@M2Mil7er]

8. The heavy part on the thicc string... legitimately, the most authentically heavy thing I've ever heard Charles play.

[@sunhammer420]

Yes. Authentically. Relatively heavy in weight.

[@polpottopg]

I wana know where he got that string from

[@sometimesidreamaboutcheese]

I think it is from grand piano

[@aelarlightbringer6372]

The (uber-generic) drums kind of ruined for me, but the part he's playing is cool.

[@pendragon5573]

​@@polpottopgGot it from the cables on the Brooklyn Bridge.

[@lukaszboczar2441]

love it when the guitar comes with a bridge cable just incase a kaiju destroys the golden gate bridge and you need to help fix it

[@JesterOfDestiny]

Ichika Nito, Rob Scallon, Charles Berthoud and Mattias Krantz has got to be one of the most epic collabs of all time. I cannot wait to see it.

[@Satirawongwan]

I love them all and I don't want to say this but it clearly who is the best here because of Charles manage to film video on spot and don't need to bring this guitar/bass to his home or studio or need more time to do good quality of video.

[@LtLukoziuz]

@@Satirawongwan Except that's wrong. They all gathered up at one spot and spent three days together. Charles just happened to be the first one to push out his video. Mattias will be having a full video of trip, so no wonder if he'll take a while to get that edited and produced, unsure about Rob and Ichika. Wouldn't be surprised if they waited for Mattias to be done with his video and release on one go. Or maybe a staggered release schedule to hype the instrument more.

[@earthtones33]

The universe would collapse in on itself from the sheer awesomeness

[@TarisSinclair]

Add El Estepario for good measure.

[@kelmirosue3251]

What makes it a Bass over a Guitar, genuinely curious

@@kelmirosue3251 My best guess is mainly the thickness of the strings, possibly the tautness. Lower frequency vibrations mean different notes.

[@TosiRainflower]

I want to take this idea and make a DnD character who is a bard that uses a guitar like this and their "ultimate attack" is just spooling it up and strumming all the strings while casting non magic projectiles (bullets... it is a minigun after all) But when they're not in combat they could still play it as a guitar. How cool would that be as a video-game character? Minigun slinging bounty hunter by day, simple song singing bard by night. 😂 Sorry I'm going off on a tangent but the video was awesome and inspired some neat ideas. 😅❤

[@hombre2244]

This guy was already arguably one of the greatest living bassist and he just keeps pushing the boundaries of what is compositionally possible on the instrument.

[@GioBardZero]

Just when you thought this dude couldn't blow your mind anymore, he proves you wrong. Being a great bassist is one thing. Being an excellent musician is another thing. But being both a ridiculously technically proficient bassist and having phenomenal musicality that balances all the different sounds this instrument is capable of making is a whole another level, even for someone like Charles. Nice work my friend, and I truly mean WORK -- I can only imagine all the sweat it took to earn the ability to play like that.

[@huntercool2232]

0:33 That was such a vibe

[@Tuxeth]

Kinda reminded me of god hand ost

[@gamerelated3887]

I commented on that guy's video when he made that guitar / bass, and I said if you put that in the hands of someone that's capable, the possibilities would be endless. People in the comments crapped on me and laughed at me and then look where it's at now!

[@TheLetterH111]

Nice pun but honestly not really- it would be super impractical to use as a regular instrument. You can hear it has intonation problems in this video, it would be like the problems 12 string guitars have but so much worse. Not to mention that bass guitars with an extended number of strings have been around forever and their hayday was about 50 years ago. To actually use this thing you would need a pedalboard with some pretty complex routing controls, a band that was willing to let you switch registers constantly, or alternatively make music yourself where you plan everything else around the one instrument. Not very practical, mostly just a cool novelty
