I Made an App to Control Guitar Effects with Your Face (it's surprisingly fun!)

[@RachelfGuitar]

This was a lot of fun! If you are interested in anything in the general tech space, please consider subscribing to my new channel: www.youtube.com/@rachelftech; I'd love to see some of you over there! I'm not totally sure what I'll be posting there yet, but I started out with an overview of how I made this project: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHm5gWiamtyflZo If you have a webcam and an audio interface, you can try out the website here: rachelf.com/guitar-face-effects/. There is a lot of latency on Windows, but it's still fun to play around with :). Hope you all have an awesome weekend!

Just did, thank you, guitar twin! Love your content, always very refreshing ❤

Thanks!

Hello 👋 I was contacted by @username_rachelfguitar about winning a giveaway of a Yamaha Rev502. Is that you?

[@dkultraw6412]

@@BriMustard yeah

[@dkultraw6412]

Is it real? How do I claim it?

[@coldsharkride]

I love how you can hardly demonstrate this technology without being overtaken by the absurdity of it. Your resting-face smile while you play is infectious, but you have turned it up to 11 with this one. Love it! 🙂

[@iduncanw]

I love that curiosity led you to this and that you built it just for fun. I occasionally code things just for fun so definitely see the allure.

[@NexxuSix]

Rachel, this is very interesting! I know on the keyboard side of the world there has always been some sort of modulation control usually done with pitch and mod wheels… but nothing too much in the way for guitars except a volume or wah pedal… this could become quite interesting with human supplied emotion for expressing the feeling of a guitar solo with mixed modulation, for example vibrato and tone. Nice work on the app! I would say this is worth developing further. Rock on!

[@BriMustard]

You're hilariously AWESOME!! Million $ idea from concept to execution. Keep at it, perfecting and tweaking!

[@_mickmccarthy]

So damn cool! Looks like a hell of a lot of fun! Looking forward to seeing what sort of wacky creations appear your other channel, keep up the awesome work!

[@RachelfGuitar]

Thank you! :)

[@coldpizzasoda8641]

I LOVE your Looper site, Rachel!! I've already learned a few solos with it. It's a HUGE help!

[@RachelfGuitar]

So happy to hear that!

[@paulforester6996]

You're brave to do this. I try to hide my facial expressions while playing. Lol Good video.

[@HannahCope88]

Haha this is awesome! Looks so fun!

[@funnymanricktwo]

Funny demonstration! Really clever stuff. I have to hear how it sounds while singing.

[@AmaryxYT]

This is pretty impressive! Good job! I'm looking forward to see what you post on your second channel!

[@RachelfGuitar]

Thank you! 😁

[@HTNT9]

Wow!! Very creative idea. Love it and can't wait to give it a spin.

[@delbhoye]

Amazing work! Patent it. Quickly. 😃

[@Chisaku461]

This made me laugh the whole time and I never seen someone made this type of app that uses mouth to control the wah٫ pitch shifter and a volume pedal. Very nice to see something like that im sure you would have fun with that lots and I subscribed to your second channel you make great content from back in 2019 keep it goin🤟👏👏

[@martincloutier666]

wow! Next step, we want a talk box effect... can't wait to see you playing some Bon Jovi 😂

[@sunflowerhaze1498]

Great idea, Rachel! I'm just imagining John Mayer using this! 🤣🤣🤣

[@trx440exx]

Lol that's cool and funny 😂 Nice work!

[@trx440exx]

@RachelfGuitar wow another scammer pretending to be her

[@Dram1984]

Very cool idea!

[@paintnamer6403]

The minute I first used a wha pedal my mouth started moving in unison with my foot, and it still can happen today.

[@vintagetrk]

I'd love to see you cover Peter Framptons Do You Feel Like I Do while using this app it would be very cool. Thanks for all your fun content. 🙂

[@juuke84]

They say it is thing line between genius and insanity. Gonna take some time to figure this one out :DD

[@janviggoneubergjohansen]

Absurd!!!😂 I love it!!

[@tonysansom]

So funny! How you kept from cracking up is beyond me🤣 I may have dreamt it but I remember someone inventing a small light-sensetive device that you held between your teeth and worked the same way: the more you opened your lips, the more light reached and the greater the effect. Oh btw, I hope your app is called Guitar Face 😁

[@RachelfGuitar]

Huh interesting, I hadn't heard of that! 😁

[@denverrandy7143]

Lmao good stuff...I didn't like the Ibanez "corral reef" kinda finishes at first. But, they're growing on me.

[@Jamaicangurl81]

I liked this way too much!

[@AgnieRF]

So fun!

[@HEG-Z]

Actually epic as!!!!

[@billofalltrades2633]

That's awesome

[@mylogify]

Nice app. definitely trying it. Now my unintentional mouth moves during solos will worth something huh? :D :D. Thanks... By the way Steve Vai concert was very nice on 19th April here! I highly recommend, if you see them in your area, go there! Also got my guitar signed :P. The video is up on my channel :P... Cheers!

[@GillesChehade]

hahaha, this is awesome

[@syalda0001]

Amazing

[@Cognosapien]

I love this

[@ourinvisibleenemies7779]

You are very smart and talented.

[@danielktdoranie]

This is genius

[@bogdanned6989]

Sic! Do you have one for keyboards?

[@RachelfGuitar]

Right now this should work for any signal producing instrument that you can plug into an audio interface (like a bass as well). So maybe if your keyboard can be recorded like that it would work, but I'm not sure how common that is. Would probably have to do something based on MIDI to handle most keyboards

[@bogdanned6989]

@@RachelfGuitar yes, sounds clear. Thank you so much, and great job!

[@joshcruz7576]

I liked how you made the app, what is the app called?

[@joshcruz7576]

Thank you!

@RachelfGuitar hi how can I claim it!

Tom Morello is kicking himself right now, he's been doing it wrong all these years!

[@mosin9105]

So cool

[@han36solo]

Haha that is great! But Rachel you should try singing at the same time!

[@Dram1984]

I think singing could be really interesting

[@S.C.500]

Has anyone told you that you look Cate Blanchett? You could totally pull off Galadriel for Halloween.

[@kjmg65]

Ever try a talk box ? - And cool vid , you are adorable

[@audiophileman7047]

These effects are kinda like a Freaky Friday. You just gotta wonder if somebody could get dates after making those faces while playing. 😂😂😂

[@nubonguitar]

Richie Sambora approves of this message.

This is what happens when you spend too much time in front of a camera that is attached to the computer you edit yourself on and suddenly think what if...?

Ok little sister… time to get out and enjoy some sunshine!

Paul Gilbert would love this

[@benpowersguitar]

Ha ha. Modern talk box? Very cool.

[@joshuafreedman7703]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! That looks like a helluva losta fun!! Try programming it to control one effect with your mouth, and a second effect with your squint!!!!!

[@lala-everyonescrazyaunt]

And I try so hard not to make goofy guitar faces. 😄

[@Stu_Pedassle]

And I thought I had a crush on you before. Now, confirmed.
