FISHING LINE AS GUITAR STRINGS

I put 12LB fishing line on my acoustic guitar. It worked out a lot better than I thought. It's a very cheap alternative!
Thanks to Fender PLAY I can do KZbin part-time. If you want to learn acoustic/electric guitar and become better than me, this is the place to go. Right now they're offering a 30-day FREE trial prf.hn/click/camref:1100l4cMG so you can try it out. (They even have a sleek app). Try it out now! I wish this existed when I started learning

What a shitty video Mattias!! Can someone please request video ideas to this guy??

[@CharviArora]

Mattias Krantz Try singing:D Or listen man Qna video pleaseeeee we want to know more about youuu❤❤❤

[@AizadVlogs]

TheGuitarGirl yeah, qna!!!

[@Andre-go1mr]

how you come of the idea? to use fishing strings :D

[@owendelapaz8325]

Go back on making fingerstyle arrangement and tutorials

[@Drumistry]

how about Fishing Line as Bass Guitar Strings?

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

Wow! I totally did not expect it to sound half as good as that haha great vid!

[@eljiedelacerna3316]

GuitarZero2Hero hey its youuu

[@aryasenaputra3226]

Heyyyyy ,I followed youuu

[@Mattiaskrantz]

Me neither haha. Thanks a lot man!

[@joshuaberthelot2467]

Very interesting tone

[@thezachster1234]

GuitarZero2Hero that first riff with the snap was amazing I wish there was a full song using that riff

[@EilidhHUGHES]

next up: guitar strings to catch fish

[@ilikejapanesesongs6863]

Lol

[@ryantraver1647]

before pre-made metal leaders, that was actually what people would use, then piano wire for big stuff like sharks.

[@luthfizaennuri5409]

This meme is never gets old

[@missfealele3165]

Haha made me laugh

[@nickb8507]

Just use strings from a guitar with a bigsby, since they’ll already have the hook on the end.

[@musicbyserpxnt]

Sounds like a “uketar”

[@Mattiaskrantz]

😂 true!

[@SoapMcCallister]

Guilele

[@VinceIsDatBitch]

Allyn07, Guilele >>> Guitalele

[@anzu8967]

sounds like a guitar with fishing line as a strings didn't heard no ulele staff there.

[@dahboup]

That instrument has existed for years made by Yamaha called the Guitalele.

[@c9sus4]

yes, we did use these lines for the guitar back in 70's, and the thin telephone wire was for the mandonlin/guitar

[@Mattiaskrantz]

That’s very cool, had no idea. Telephone wire also sounds really interesting to try

[@c9sus4]

I just remember something else, how about cutting those white pvc-tubes, then flatten with a hot-coal iron, cut it in a triangle shape, trim the edge on a stone...there is my guitar pick

[@kteztum5139]

I used expired cards for picks

[@claytonsturgill4529]

me too lol

[@vegasyo3759]

I used bread clips for my pick

[@CJ-mv1of]

It actually sounds very unique, someone should make this an instrument if there isn't one already.

[@Mattiaskrantz]

😄😄

[@lucoa460]

japanese koto almost sound like it

[@mohanliyanage6297]

*Perfect and I’ve used it for ballon arches as **enjoyable.fishing** recommend well as other decor with parties. It is strong and will hold up well. It works so good that another decorator stole my roll at an event!*

[@ofadetergentsud]

Sounds like the 3 nylon strings on a classical guitar. No surprise.

[@Mattiaskrantz]

True

[@JL897139]

You mean the ones that aren't wound? They are all nylon

[@ofadetergentsud]

@Michael Persico My comment states that it isn't a huge discovery, so your comment is irrelevant and -85 IQ. XD

[@snooch4529]

@Michael Persico Don't tuck and run, come back to face the music ya dork

[@parbonnath4393]

the strings are like invisible

[@quelo2262]

like that the fishes don't get scared when you play guitar...

[@linkbond08]

Stealth wire shhh!

[@edgeofforever7720]

It's the silent sounds.

[@metalrebel7506]

What strings?

[@smlyblkct]

And i like it

[@nootgourd3452]

I thought the entire vid would be *threads string, begins tightening* *string snaps* *threads string, begins tightening* *string snaps* *threads string, begins tightening* *string snaps* *threads string, begins tightening* *string snaps* *threads string, begins tightening* *string snaps* *threads string, begins tightening* *string snaps*

[@j.grimes4420]

Fishing line is actually quite strong. It has to be, which I guess for guitar players who are on a budget is a good thing, but don't quote me on that.

[@truffeltroll6668]

Imagine it snapping with a 10 kg fish on it

[@BigBreakfast25]

J. Grimes it’s very strong, even just the weaker regular fishing line can reel in a freshwater fish 24+ inches long (probably somewhere from 5-8 pounds depending). With a strong fish like a smallmouth that’s quite a bit of force between it fighting and reeling in

[@EvelynH-tj1qt]

Benz OK I've caught 20 lb salmon on 10-12lb test. My dad didn't put new line on his pole and caught a 23 lb buck on 8 lb test

[@jamestunedflat8942]

I've used fishing line and beads because my high e string snapped and I didn't have enough for replacement strings. It lasted 6mo of daily playing till I got some money coming in and I could justify the purchase.

[@Perronegro2024]

In south America we use this strings when we have no money for others😂😂😂

[@RockNRoll__]

but isn't it more expensive than actual guitar strings? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@edthealpinedude8933]

most of it, yes

[@oscarzafra7597]

Trevor Morgan it's beautiful and the air is cleaner than north America, but yeah it sucks because of the poverty.

[@oscarzafra7597]

Trevor Morgan I'm just saying you can feel the difference. It's very palpable. And why would you? We value comfort over health here in the states. Our government poisons us with fluoride and airosle injections but hey! Who cares about clean air, I have a cozy house, 6 pack of beer, and entertainment!

[@viniciuspassos8714]

I am from South america,we have some goods guitar players,one exemple is Fabio lima,he win the Julian bream prize,the most important guitar contest in the world.listen he,please.

[@rawrimaoctopus5715]

I can tell this video is gonna be super popular never seen anything like it before thanks for doing it

[@joewell6435]

as someone who's had fluorocarbon strings (basically just fishing line) on my ukulele I'm not at all surprised this sounds good. I actually saw a video of someone who custom makes ukuleles and buys fishing line to use as the strings because it's more cost effective than buying individual sets of fluorocarbon strings when you need strings for a lot of ukuleles.

[@RustingPeace]

for small things its enough

[@InigoSolis]

I love that videos you are making. Very original and unexpected.

[@asuna5535]

I love that sound of the fish line going in to harmony to make such a beautiful song.❤️

[@LidlBigBoy]

Anyway, here’s wonderwall

[@BunnyBigGuns]

I didn't actually expect this to work, let alone sound good, I'm amazed, like seriously though, wow. This was so beautiful 😊.

[@sjangvill]

Experiment: If you use more strands and turn them to one string, you get a thick string for a bass string. People playing "talharpa" or "Tagelharpa" use that teknique to make strings in different thickness. It's used as an alternative to horsehair strings. I use "artificial sinew" (normally used to sew leather) for my tagelharpa- and lyrestrings .

[@armenvondoms1815]

Interesting!! I'm going to look into that for making strings for cigar box guitars. I checked out your channel. Good stuff. So much to learn I of course am overwhelmed. Hope that technique you mention is there!👍

[@Therandomness1235]

I've done this for a first string that kept breaking on my beginner guitar when I was 8. It is quite a bit less responsive than steel, but, it gets the job done in a pinch

[@torancook4662]

This is hands down the most peaceful thing I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing

[@sarahfina2324]

I love the percussive way you play. It’s beautiful

[@Mattiaskrantz]

Thanks Sarah😄

[@noexplanation4343]

This is how simple youtube posts used to be. Title not misleading. No clickbait thumbnail. Straight to the point. No mid video ads. Truly amazing.

Sounded so medieval at the beginning! Wow

[@Digitalflixx]

Instructions unclear, threw my guitar into a river

[@RustingPeace]

look! that is someone who never touched a guitar

[@ion_force]

this is the opposite of clickbait. You put the strings on and immediately got to playing them. Bravo.

[@banquiroz2007]

Such talent! It makes me smile whenever I see someone playing like that. It's like they're making magic tricks.

[@resterag8428]

haha, You made my day

[@prod.blukaas2598]

1600's was not even medieval

[@KennyGuite]

yeah..its like 5th to 15th centuries...and I said 1600

[@RustingPeace]

@@KennyGuite 16th century wasnt medieval... the medieval ended in the 15's (1440's), then we had the gunpowder/newage

[@roniesanderson]

A clever use of fishing line and a reasonable sound too.

[@shreddykruger8741]

Wow this is pretty cool ! Never would have thought to try this till now

[@shrudd]

@@mateomarquez4343 exactly bruh

[@raul6874]

forget about the fishing line, your guitar playing skill is really good im wonderin, what can you do on a normal guitar if this is what you can do with one made for fishing activities?

[@Mattiaskrantz]

Thanks a lot! I have 200 videos where I play normal guitar😉

[@calebheney302]

no offense to the guitar player, but its just hopos and chords, with some percussion so not hard, but hey, its about the sound and not the skill sometimes.

[@idontwant2beasoldiermama241]

Caleb Heney From where can I start to jam like this? Where should I focus on? What techniques and stuff? I mean, I could probably learn this from tabs, but I mean writing and improvising stuff like this

[@TheDowner911]

+Caleb Heney Lets see you upload a better one instead of roblox kid.

[@zackpoon8411]

Always want to try it, and you did it

[@vedadtr3509]

Very original ! Where was this channel for all my life...

[@TheSkinking]

Now do it with different weights of fishing line with the 12 lb as the lightest E string, #40-#30-#25-#20-#15-#12......I would, but you started it! lol

[@LemonsRage]

They have a unique tone to themself. I would like to listen to some oriantal songs on this setup

[@elk3407]

Lemons Rage It would sound awesome as heck in a math rock/midwest emo song.

[@juan3268]

Why am I here? Well I used to play guitar in Cuba and this is what we used for strings. Sometimes, the most fortunate, could have different gauge fishline. I needed to restring my guitar and was laughing as to, I should put on fishing line but let me see if someone on KZbin has done it, and here I am. Bravo, awesome performance.

[@leonscottkennedyre4]

Man I would love to hear you play the songs you did in this video on regular strings, full versions!

[@guskrough9056]

nobody asked for the song at 0:42 so i will

[@TheAtti199]

[@vitellonealvapore877]

[@seemly]

sound like a ukelele

[@aldoiniguez1532]

Some Ukelele's use simaller materials on there strings

[@matheus230692]

You can use carbon fish line for ukulele and it sounds actually really good, better than some official strings.

[@stratocactus]

Tahitian ukuleles are traditionally mounted with fishing line

[@SpaceCattttt]

You said the U word!!!

[@Horsujbass]

Exactly, it sound like shit

[@sadzidsmajkic6181]

Sounds great. I already imagine fish jumping from the river. They like your tone.

[@meghnamoyra]

Absolutely phenomenal ! 💛

[@tabarakalbadri4385]

Wow 💜

[@codefrite]

If you work on the idea a bit more, sure you could come up with a new survival tactic ... GUITAR FISHING : - Play music - Attract fish - Fish them - Make a fire with the guitar neck - Cook them in the guitar body inside sound hole

[@triek7790]

is this a tutorial to guitar fish or be in debt?

[@peoplevsradio317]

Way better than expected!

[@gutbucket6184]

Gives it a kind of semi dramatic, pop feel. Cool!

[@harakirikiss6128]

I feel like this has been done before with cigar box guitars

[@Mattiaskrantz]

I think I read it somewhere about guitarists using fishing line instead of nylon. But that may just be a myth. They lost the tuning every second so I can’t really recommend it. Always fun to try though!
