When I was a kid I really wanted to learn guitar, but had no access to one. I found an old book from the 60s that was my mom's that taught the basics. I took a skinny sheet of cardboard, drew squares on it for frets, and used fishing line to mimic strings so I could start practicing chords and where notes are. years later I got the real thing (hope to upload more to my channel). So, seeing similar string being played this way is pretty meaningful. Thanks for the tremendous inspiration!
yeahh!! thats what im talking about. putting all the levels together to make one awesome bonus level. for the past 4 years, this man has never ceased to amaze me!
Ewan, you deserve the hat. You are Godlike indeed! I don't know how many times I will listen to this in a row before I get over it. Same thing goes with almost every new song you release!
Actually, I restrung my acoustic with floss strings after hearing this and the lower strings are actually fairly loose. Keep in mind this is using E standard tuning. He's in open C. So that would be true even more so. Plus often videos like this have "studio sound" because they were rerecorded in a studio with the same instrument to cut out background noise.
so what do you do when you break your new guitar string, replace it with the old one, and then break THAT one the same night? Actually the real question I have is: How many dental floss strings do I need for a G-string? (lmao)
I’m back from when I originally seen it ten years ago, bananas this is something you never forget about! lol as soon as someone ask new on Facebook what strings did Eddie can happen is I responded dental floss! And then can here to rewatch! He he(never mind it’s almost 2024 now…smh)
I admit I'm impressed. I'm just curious how he managed to work the entire course of strings on the same thickness gauge of floss with such a broad range of tensions. I play bass guitar using an unorthodox tuning, and I've had to switch string gauges myself just using standard strings.
CGDA, in fifths, set to seventh fret instead of fifth. That's cello/viola tuning. I'm a violist primarily. I usually buy a 5-string pack, tighten the G up to A, leave the D, flatten the A to G, then replace the E string with the low B from a fiver and tighten it up to C. I have to keep my truss rod tighter with the little bit of added tension, and I have to be careful that I don't let my G string sound floppy with fret buzz, but otherwise that made a much smoother transition from viola to bass guitar for a secondary instrument.
Infinity Squared I think he spliced several pieces of floss together to get the different gauges.. The strings look as though they have different thicknesses.
Thank you. That question really was bugging me just out of 'Not Knowing.' I really should have figured that out myself; I was a Boy Scout and I DID learn twining and ropemaking.
Ewan never ceases to amaze me with his playing, now me mocks me by using dental floss to make music I can only aspire to? However, watching the action on the strings especially the top string, low E normally don't know what to call it when it is made of floss, lol.
lol. THis is just Sooooo much better than the best in the world delay tune. Proper genius this one. :-) Seriously? The whole guitar in dental floss? OK - That's new... Big props and thanks for turning it around. Luv and Peace Forever.
I would not have believed it, had I not just seen it. But it's Ewan Dobson playing, so . . . The man could make an empty tissue box and some rubber bands sound as good.
this sound could really get between my teeth. Unsolicited humor aside, very mellow, easy to listen to, some thing I will listen to again. very creative!
Hahaha, this is Action-Man: static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2013/11/20/1384913201232/a11bd29c-26eb-4300-b5e5-30764c328082-460x276.jpeg
A player like Ewan Dobson can pretty much do whatever the fuck he wants with his guitar. He's having some fun, he clearly has the experience and talent to know what he's doing, and for some floss strings, he actually makes them sound pretty decent.
I'm not sure if you have ever played guitar or listened to his other songs, but this sounds terrible compared to that. Hahaha love people like you on RUclips.
Think of it as the cousin to the gel pads people use at their desktop computers. Protects all the bits that're important to the craft. Also helps keep you limber and whatnot. Ewan's playing is definitely humbling for those of us not so talented. Doesn't mean it can't be inspirational, though. Hope that helps.
This popped up on my fb memories from 11 years ago. Thank god I shared it and now have this reminder every year. Still as beautiful as ever.

This is...where are you. One of your best and most unknown songs...and you played it on dental floss...
Ewan; You re my hero.
Dental floss for guitar strings. Sounds mint.
Yes..! it is quite a fresh sound!
These guuuuuys... XD
Ed Gein his fingers won't stink for sure!

C mamo el gringuito c mamo

Where can I buy D"Addario floss?
Jan Klosowski you mean the hat ? That’s from Viet Nam and it’s for Ladies hat to were it 😂
It's nice to see Raiden has turned over a new leaf. Make music not violence.
Оголоржхся,

Or make violent music lol
Ewan, you deserve the hat. You are Godlike indeed! I don't know how many times I will listen to this in a row before I get over it. Same thing goes with almost every new song you release!
You're the best classic guitarist of the world; Ewan Dobson.
i can feel my teeth and gums getting stronger
Whoever shot this did an amazing job.
Just the right amount of pan and bokeh throughout. Beautifully done. And the playing... So amazing.
Thumbs up if you want a tutorial showing how we made guitar strings from dental floss.
its not hard if u know how guitar looks like and what contains
Simplesmente lindo..agradavel de se ouvir.
Слов нету, в который раз смотрю и восхищаюсь. Спасибо тебе!!!

O melhor, fã desde criança
Just excellent control over guitar. Fabulous.
VERY GOOD , PURE TALENT !
Outta the box thinking, result ..extraordinary tone.
Nice work. Crazy that you have a hat identical to the one I am wearing right now.
I love your videos Ewan, thanks for giving me that kind of peace with your music.
Вы великолепно играете Эван ))
Юэн Добсон виртуоз
jesteś mistrzem wielkim gry na gitarze pozdrawiam
People removing regular strings and trying with dental floss in 3... 2... 1...
Nah I accidentally broke my sisters guitar string and I need to fix it.
so what do you do when you break your new guitar string, replace it with the old one, and then break THAT one the same night? Actually the real question I have is: How many dental floss strings do I need for a G-string? (lmao)
You can tie a snapped string if it breaks above the top nut with an old string.
This was a breath of fresh air.
Who's here in 2022

2024
I'm in 2024 and still with my mouth open applauding a lot
if they ever make a new mega man game, this song should be in it, at the wily´s stage.
Wow..best dental floss I've heard...didn't know would SOUND SO KOOL..LOVE IT

All Good :) yeah, I think there was a video showing how he spliced/twined the floss together, but I m not sure where it is
Look at that. An innovation where playing the guitar with your mouth is actually a healthy thing. Nice going Dobson! :D
Ewan can play a potato and it still sounds great.
wait hes not playing a potato?
it would still sound great*
Still waiting. I know he will try it.
Flossing conversations with the dentist are no longer pointless. Thanks go to you Ewan.
He plays better on floss than I do on actual guitar strings.
Thx Dobson from Serbia!!!
Ewan Dobson And His Skills
So could be stage music for a Double Dragon, or another Ninja Gaiden game.
well. i'll just say that's the best sounding dental floss guitar i've ever heard.
that hat is "Nón lá" from Vietnam
Correction, that hat belongs to Raiden.
Cameron Fischer Raiden wins.
it belong to meeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Rock Lee
Dobson's music does something to my soul....
guitarreiro profissional
Ewan Dobson wins guitar playing forever. Flawless victory
Dental Flawless victory! 😂
1:32 always makes me think of Gerudo valley from Ocarina of Time lol
He's inspired by retro video game music, and he commonly uses this particular note sequence, so who knows, it might be straight from Gerudo
Grande Ewan, original total. Nunca pude dominar la guitarra como tu. Te felicito.
Raiden, is that you?
yes it is
WOW que impresionante y genial! Felicitaciones, bellísimo! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺🧚💜
Isso sim é tocar violão.
Ewan never ceases to amaze me with his playing, now me mocks me by using dental floss to make music I can only aspire to? However, watching the action on the strings especially the top string, low E normally don't know what to call it when it is made of floss, lol.
Looks like I have been using floss wrong my whole life
Makes it sound so CLEAN.
Awesome! Now play it with your teeth.
lol. THis is just Sooooo much better than the best in the world delay tune.
Proper genius this one. :-)
Seriously?
The whole guitar in dental floss?
OK - That's new...
Big props and thanks for turning it around.
Luv and Peace Forever.
RAIDEN WINS!!!

This is as fun to watch as it is to listen to.
HOW?!
I would not have believed it, had I not just seen it. But it's Ewan Dobson playing, so . . . The man could make an empty tissue box and some rubber bands sound as good.
Master please learn me
Dentist: So, Ewan, are you flossing?
Ewan: Yes, every day, just like you recommend!
Эван ты Крут
Unique performer, the Best !!!!
saved a ton of money on guitar strings by switching to dental floss
this sound could really get between my teeth. Unsolicited humor aside, very mellow, easy to listen to, some thing I will listen to again. very creative!
TABS PPPLLLLLZZZZZZZZZ
Best dental floss commercial I have seen... Pop a string? bad gums? How about a face melting solo!
Exel(d)ent
U are making the best guitar music man! It's my opinion and don't stop :)
ok i love this guys so much ,, but does he look weird , like surgery was done or something , he looks a bit like an "Action-Man" figure from the 80's.
I think he had his eyebrows done. lol
Josh Willard
that might just be some make up
Genetically enhanced guitarist from space, sent to save us from mediocre music.
Hahaha, this is Action-Man:

Wilko Inaka that is the magic point of this master, he secret are not smile👍👍
Amazing you give me inspiration to keep going no matter what thank you great job man level 2 ,40 all amazing
Why isn't he playing the guitar with his teeth, like Jimi Hendrix?
A player like Ewan Dobson can pretty much do whatever the fuck he wants with his guitar. He's having some fun, he clearly has the experience and talent to know what he's doing, and for some floss strings, he actually makes them sound pretty decent.
Never mInd Dental floss, that was mental floss. Left my mind squeaky clean. Loved it. :-)
Amazing technique!
And beuatiful piece of music!

The Magical Dr. Dobson always make my day.. a better day... thnx bro!!!

Very nice! :)
Simply God of guitar

I love your style ...
Феноменальные обстоятельства подготовки к игре. И сама пьеса прекрасна.
Eyebrows on fleek!
Brilliantly done sir.
Tout simplement MAGNIFIQUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure if you have ever played guitar or listened to his other songs, but this sounds terrible compared to that. Hahaha love people like you on RUclips.
great and unique great job
Who would’ve ever thought flossing could sound so great??? What a player... amazing
el mejor roquero alemann
Thanks for all your support!
I searched floss guitar out of curiosity and it fucking exists 🤣🤣awesome playing
I'm diehard fan of ewan Dobson guitar music
My dear god. I really have no words.
Think of it as the cousin to the gel pads people use at their desktop computers. Protects all the bits that're important to the craft. Also helps keep you limber and whatnot. Ewan's playing is definitely humbling for those of us not so talented. Doesn't mean it can't be inspirational, though. Hope that helps.
oh this was too cool!!! thank you so much!!!!
Ewan Dobson is such a baller. A true guitar master.
