Playing the 360° spinning guitar is UNREAL

[@Mattiaskrantz]

So far I have gotten in contact with Rob Scallon, Charles Berthoud and Ichika Nito to play this thing! We will travel to the US in March, so if you know some famous players or KZbinrs who we should stop by let me know! Also I for some reason cut it out, but I have spent a good amount of days redesigning the part were the spinning thing connects, now using a slipring. You can hear how much less noisy this guitar is now, even when I play with much more distortion this time. Oh and sign up to Rocksmith+

[@crashcr93]

Cool looking guitar. To make it easier to play you could add a stepper motor to rotate the neck to fixed positions, and 3 or 4 pedals for each (depends on how many neck positions are needed of course). That way you could quickly switch between playing bass and solo without causing the noise and and time delay.

[@liamsmith8518]

I was thinking maybe even a stepper then programmed rotations for songs so you didn't even have to think about it you just have what you need

[@lanceandersen]

He actually already has it setup for that with a belt drive/stepper (see build video), not sure why he hasn't rigged up a pedal board for preset positions yet. Maybe it's more fun to spin...or less dangerous? lol

[@mycatistypingthis5450]

Maybe just a lever? Having a big lever near the right hand that flips it mechanically might be easier than electrically.

[@erika3174]

Wouldn't that ruin the purpose though? If you wanted fixed positions, you might as well get a double neck with 1 bass neck and 1 guitar neck. I think what's interesting here is that the constant spinning allows for new ways to play. I mean your suggestion would for sure make playing songs and rocksmith easier haha

[@just..someone]

My thought was that you could have one pedal to switch between locked & free spinning, as well as maybe another one to I.e flip 180 degrees or to certain sections like I.e bass. Then you can do everything, but it might get a bit easier

[@grammar_ash]

"Let's turn it to the highest difficulty, because we're delusional-" lmao it's too relatable

[@SP4CEBAR]

I think you could make it easier to play if you added a rotary encoder and a microcontroller to turn your motor into a servo, this will give it sufficient position control to: - lock the rotation to a specific position, you could even make presets that you could link to a pedal or something - detect if the user is spinning it and guide the position it ends up at so that it ends up at a whole chord

[@litlmutt]

a motor servo to a pedal would be awesome I think. was gonna say that when he originally made this but so glad others are thinking the same

For the unbalanced spinny bit, you could try a weighted disk made to cancel out the weight.

@@GamerdevilPro I can't remember exactly what it was about the original that DROVE ME ABSOLUTELY NUTS (blocked that memory probably), it was something to do with the training functions where you can move around the track and start at different points.

I already knew how to play guitar decently well, but it was still great for learning new songs for my cover band. =)

[@kameljoe21]

Since this is a round someone could write some music to follow the strings in their order meaning that the entire time you play you scale up or down in a flow so that you lead in to the base. It would be quite cool as the music can start at the base section and move on wards and end up finishing at the base or another section.

[@DuelScreen]

Would "Prelude", the Final Fantasy crystal theme song work for that? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZjKaGxjn91-l9E

[@kameljoe21]

@@DuelScreen Yep that is quite like how I imagined it yet only add in filler. For example string 1 to 4 could be played for a moment in any order to lead up to string 4 to 8 and those played for a bit then 9 to 12 played. You could mix it up a bit as well yet going from say string 9 and rotating it far enought to say hit string 3 would be wrong. If one was to play this and the drum was moving at a slow pace one could still play it if you know what I mean? I would guess that all notes could not be further than 4 strings apart at any given time.

Some suggestions for you: 1) Put some stylish top to the guitar hiding the string ends and you could put extra weight so the guitar is balanced. 2) Modify the motor pedal so you can rotate to specific places: guitar, bass, fretless, single rotation, continuous rotation. 3) it’s possible to play notes with the “fretting” fingers so you could play the guitar section “normally” using your thumb to play the bass at the same time

You need a stepper motor instead of a normal motor for the turning of the neck. Then add foot buttons that move the neck into specific positions. Steppers also hold positions while powered, which would mean that you can control when the neck can spin freely and when it is "locked". Plus having buttons to put the neck into specific positions and even have the neck to movement patterns. do it.

Rocksmith is legit the best thing that ever happened to me as a musician. My timing and accuracy SUCKED when I was originally starting, but I play7ed for like 3 or 4 hours a day for about 6 months, and I went from barely being able to play the Ramones to being able to play Cannibal Corpse easily. I did develop a weird playing style from it, though. I once sat down with a prog player (who actually went to a cannibal corpse gig with me once.) and he was like "How the fuck do you play that??" and my answer was I don't fucking know. How do you play?"

[@joemogley]

[@MrSirFluffy]

If you are using a stepper motor you can program the guitar to go to a specific position so you can reliably spin a fixed distance or create settings to quick change to different section like bass and back to guitar. If you want to get really crazy you can program song presets to spin the guitar the way you need it to depending on when you want it to switch to other sections or have it spin at certain points for no reason for cool points.

I have been using various versions of Rocksmith for years and it's pretty great. I don't use it so much to learn, but just to play a really wide variety of different styles of music as a way to practice. The current version of Rocksmith with the subscription model is neat, but for the first year or so I found that there was a pretty limited selection of songs that I actually wanted to play as a bassist. I meant to cancel the subscription after the first year, but forgot because I hadn't used it for months, and then Ubisoft charged me another full year without warning. I tried every way I could to dispute the charge but Ubisoft refused to refund or cancel my subscription. Since I'm stuck with it for another year, I'm glad there to see there is actually some decent new music. Last time I had played there wasn't any Green Day, Paramore, Metallica, Van Halen etc. I will have to see what is actually available for bass. The original launch version was much more focused on guitar than bass, and even though there were technically thousands of songs available, only a portion of them had playable bass transcriptions. If there really is more decent content now, maybe I will keep the subscription in the future.

[@Deltasig01530678]

This is incredible. I'm excited to follow your progress. I see the pedal control and the amp as the next two big parts of your puzzle. The pedal could be multi function controlling speed, direction, acceleration, deceleration, and preset stops. Another commenter mentioned a servo motor which sounds appropriate. It could produce superhuman tremolo and vibrato, and make those spins to another position much safer and reproducible. Bass amplifiers and speakers deal with lower frequency more efficiently. You could use a crossover setup to filter and bi-amp the output to separate speaker cabinets to achieve the full sound. Or build a hybrid. One last thing is a noise gate or some way to silence the unwanted sound from pickups you aren't using (back, top, bottom). Though leaving it could open the door to a thumb rest bass lines and alternate tuning. At least when overdriving the signal, a noise gate would be huge, since you can't use your right palm to mute the other strings on a cylindrical guitar neck.

[@Spidersweb855]

Sorry if you had mentioned this in your previous videos (it’s been a lengthy process since you started this spinning guitar!), but would it benefit to have a brake for the spinning neck that you can hold down with your right wrist while playing? You seem to have pretty good control of it now, but it may give your left thumb a break from having to stabilize the neck and accurately hold the frets (or maybe do an easier vibrato).

[@bartonbagnes4605]

Perhaps a bar parallel to the guitar neck on the back for your hand to rest on instead of the strings, yet allows enough access to still spin the neck?

this was actually a design we worked on! Might still finish that version in the future. But we would need to reduce the neck diameter since otherwise it will be hard to reach around comfortably
