Will putting piano strings on a guitar make the guitar sound like piano?
Now we’re talking
Upvote this comment nowwwwwww
Piano strings are hit, rather than plucked, so I think piano strings would not sound like piano on a guitar unless you hit the strings like on a piano
@@freepalestine1673 Maybe a form of slap-style could be used?
Kurt Cobain used piano strings for E and A.
I'm imagining the guitar solo where it's just F# for 11 days straight
best guitar solo
1 note, 11 days of sustain.
Playing this solo over a piece in F major would be the longest horror solo ever.
Neil young could make that work. In fact, it would be awesome.

👍👍 cool.
Dino Wanted lol
Not really
@Galaxies #copy
Yeah lol
What is the stupidest way you can tune a guitar (within a 12-tone system) and why?
A few guesses:
1. All strings tuned to the same note
2. Strings tuned a tritone apart
3. Strings tuned so high they immediately snap when you strum them
4. Standard tuning but with a capo on the highest fret
uberchops I like number 4
Why not all of these combined?
2 strings tuned to the same note, 2 strings tuned a tritone apart, 2 strings tuned so high they snap when you strum them, and after all that a capo on the highest fret
Darius Tucker legendary time wastage
tritone would be cool, that would be like an octave every 2 strings
3. since it’d be impossible to play. also, 1 is actually sometimes used for a drone type sound, used by lou reed occasionally.
I definitely found it useful. The shortage of helium means i can increase the prices at my helium balloon guitar strap business.
40 years and we'll be all out because it's lighter than the air around us
I quit my job at the helium guitar strap factory. I won't be spoken to in that tone. It's a shame, because before I started, people spoke quite highly about it.
@@andyguitarman p000000999999
@@caaaaaabbb the helium is a byproduct from very deep natural gas drilling. Hydrogen is much cheaper, however 1920s zeppelins sometimes caught on fire- we do have the technology for unmanned zeppelins now, without dickheads sneaking cigarettes while riding in them.
Cabbi Garasu well my helium gathering business will go into the sky and grab the helium to supply your Ballon strapping business.
Guitar effects by ‘common household objects’
Like
‘Bathtub reverb’
‘Ceiling fan - rotovibe’
I used to rehearse in a space with a ceiling fan. It took us a while to figure out where that damned tremolo was coming from...
I would totally watch this
This is an awesome idea
My brother built a recording studio into his house. Split off a room, stuffed the walls we built with denim cotton and built baffles with the remainder of the stuff. When he'd go to set the mics for his drums, we'd both hear a reverb from somewhere in the house, turns out it was the bathroom just down the hall. We put a mic in there and recorded a few snare hits. After the initial punch from the snare, a couple seconds later we'd hear the "waahhhhhhhhh" from the bathroom mic. Stupid, funny, and totally cool.
Ive tried a fan rotovibe and its not really possible you need to get a fan thats small and spins fast enough and that really doesn't exist
"Davie 504 viewers also watch this channel"
Is this what betrayal looks like?
No... it's just.... I'm not...
No....THATS EPIC
Hey that’s my profile picture!
that’s ｉｌｌｅｇａｌ
Yes
Ok, with that last question I can expand a bit on it, let's assume the lowest bpm acceptable is 60bpm to 340bpm (highest) so if we do (340*16,000)+(339*16,000)+.... (60*16,000) we get 899,200,000 (this will be our power) (this is the easy part) now with the notes I'll take the 49 number from before, add palm muted notes and pinch harmonics variations of those note and half step and full step bends, so 49+49+46(47?)+(46*2) (as you cannot pinch a stop nor the open low E, and the other aspect I don't know about tying pinch harmonics (also I'm not gonna add natural harmonics to this because you can tie them, it wont change the number by a lot in the end anyway) so we have a definite 236 single notes (now with ditones we're gonna assume you aren't making a 5 fret stretch for chords maximum of 4 fret stretch (ex. 1 on low E and 5 on A)
Ditones:
rule 1: a lot of these probably wouldn't ever be used because they are just awful
rule 2: if a chord contains the exact same note same octave (so like 5 on low E and 0 on A)
rule 3: maximum 4 fret stretch (open notes are allowed as well)
that will not be it's own separate chord or ditone.
for my own sanity I will only be doing ditones
so starting on low E fret 5 there is any note from 0-9 on all other strings can be played (except for 0 on A) so there's 49, for Ef6 ( f6 meaning 6th fret i'll use this notation from now on)
there's 50 for Ef6 and all the way to Ef18 so 13*50 is 650+49+45+45+40+40+35+35+30+30+110 (22*5 for Ef0)
no. of ditones with a low E root note is 1,109*4 (4,436) as either both or neither can be palm muted now seeing some of these are the same lets take away 5*4*10 (200) so there is 4,236 ditones.
Add the notes and ditones and we have 4,472
So the number of guitar solo's with no more than 2 notes played together at the same time while following the original rules and adding a few extra is
4,472^899,200,000
or in E notation
9.008E3282531213
scientific notation
9.008*10^3,282,531,213
I hope that your calculator is older than 18...

Now how many of those solos would sound pleasant to the human ear? Or, a similar fun thought experiment: how many guitar solos exist for a different species, assuming you can tune the guitar strings to cover the entire audible range of that species without the strings breaking?
@@TheRealBoof at least 2
Ive always wondered what a nylon bass would sound like
Optical pickups can be used to play nylon strings on an electric guitar. I wonder if they would work on tapewound nylon bass strings?
Nylon tapewound are not nylon core strings, you would need to make the nylon bass strings, I think you know that, just wanted to clarify
Indigo kinzey The three darkest on a guitar aren't even nylon
@@viggoulander9671 The wound strings on a classical guitar are made of a nylon core with different sorts of metal winding on the outside. (exceptions aside)
@@ducas8937 i am not aware of any other type of nylon-material bass string, other than on a harp maybe.
There is a piece of music called 'Vexation' which is a mathematical formula of every possible combination of note in every time signature and every key. If you played it at 450bpm it would take you 14.4million years to complete.
so its the music version of pi?
the music of eric satie ?
So can the author of this piece sue every composer in the world for copyright infringement?
Maciek, unfortunately he was immediately sued by everyone currently protected by copyright. With his current debt, and the interest, he should break even when he’s around 4,500 years old.
it'd see it in concert
Instead of helium, create hydrogen at home using electrolysis. Just be careful around fire.
Yes but then you have to separate it from the oxygen, compress it, and electrolysis is extremely slow and inefficient not to mention you would need to do this in a vacuum. But assuming you could acquire a vacuum chamber to which you electrolyze water over the course of several months, then separate and remove the oxygen, and compress the hydrogen, sure you could fill some balloons and float a guitar with fewer balloons and without helium.
@@sumbirdy1741 you don't need a vaccum, but you need a closed system.
I think it's possible to add something to react to the oxygen in the gas mixture. Powdered iron or aluminium (would have to be careful because the reaction is exothermic) should work. Maybe even charcoal.
Otherwise, freeze the gas to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen.
This is a great comment thread
What if the solo is too fire?

He's a hockey player duh
when i was a kid i thought of putting an acoustic underwater.
Here's my hypothesis: It would ruin the wood killing the guitar. Also the sound would be a dampened version of the electric one.
Laughing Orange still better than having your first guitar consumed by termites
Laughing Orange The waters density wouldn’t allow the strings to vibrate. It would instantly dampen them - no pun intended - and they wouldn’t produce sound.
Edit: Then I kept watching the video and he explained this exact concept haha
Ourcheh I thought you said “when I was a kid I thought of putting acoustic underwear” and I was like WTF 🤣🤣
Just like Nirvana

I'm looking forward to some scrabble jam on EFFACED tuned guitar
Michał Nowak Would the f strings be an octave apart or tuned the same? How about EFF#ACED tuning?
@@andrewt836 Atually that is not how "F"s with one octave apart are spelled. In guitar tuning E Standard tuning is EADGBe. If you notice the difference between the notes E and e, although its the same note its spelled differently to seperate each other. On the other hand "F#" aka F sharp, is a different note altogether. F is a half tone away from F#. To understand completely to what am I saying look at the notes on a guitar fretboard on an image in Google.
Its impossible to tune your guitar like that with standard strings, especially if you want the "F"s to be an octave apart. I tried a EEEE tuning with my bass but i couldnt do it and honestly it was pointless as some strings were exactly the same notes/octaves.

2:15 - Explosive
Now I need to know how a guitar sounds if played in a vacuum
I don't think Hoover makes one big enough for Sammy G to get inside. Maybe Dyson.....
You wouldn't hear a thing, since sound is a mechanical wave, and vacuum just doesn't have enough density (simply, there isn't enough atoms) to translate the wave through the space.
@@Visiotor But an electric guitar would still work in a vacuum, so long as the amp is in a pressurised environment.
@@Visiotor magnetic field isn't affected by a shortage of atoms, so electric guitar should theoretically produce sound just like normal, but with longer sustain, due to lack of air resistance
It would be very dirty. Vacuums are full of bits of dust and fluff. Yuk!!

I effin love thos chanel. Every time I feel a little blue, this picks me up! Thank you, Sammy G!
The math for the guitar solos v atoms are accurate. But to include the possibility of playing chords or multiple notes all you would need to do is create a factoral. If we consider six strings and the possibility you could hit any combination of said strings on one fret it would be 6! (This does not include barres and I know you only have four fingers.) But we need to consider the combination of said strings across a reasonable number of frets which as we go up the neck becomes larger so we would need to use an incremental growth fourmula to do it truly properly, but since I don't wanna write it down I'm just gonna say that for the first 9 frets you can only hit notes from 1-5 spanning those five frets so it's (6!*(4*5!)) After that I'll say you can span six frets just because this has already gotten super complicated lol. And of course as we get closer to 22 they have to decrease so eventually it looks like this (6!*((4*5!)*(5*6!)*(4*7)*(3*8)*(2)*(3)*(4)))
So after solveing the inner most parts of the equation you come to all the possible places you could put your fingers at any one time, and multiply it by the 6! To have any place you could put your fingers on any combination of strings.
Lmao
*actually does the math*
Actually no, not really. You can Mary the Cents of the tuning, and the Hrz of the song which will influence the accentation and many other things. There are also acoustic guitars and 32 String guitars and possibilitys to create Tönes with the guitar that are comparable to percussion, high episches, everything with pedals, Talkboxes, Midis, Location, e.g.
There are infinite amount of guitars solos but if we want to calculator the amount of good sounding(not jazz) guitar solos we need to dig very deep into the music theory and math
@@julianfuchs9253 you make a really good point. We would also have to look at alternate tuneing and other things as well.
