You’ll build up calluses on your finger tips and then it won’t hurt anymore. You’ll go from being able to play for maybe half an hour because it hurts to being able to play for hours because your finger tips can’t feel anything. The calluses will go away if you don’t play for a while so it’s best to play at least a little bit every day

This instrument has been around for a while. The kid says his dad invented it, so that mean his dad owns the company Marcodi. They are the inventers and makers of the harpeji. Back in 2012 they were showing off the at the time new instrument at the show, and Stevie Wonder came over to their booth to check it out. Stevie fell in love with it because it gave him the ability to play guitar like songs while being blind, and he gave the company quite a bit of publicity. There's actually a 12 year old clip of Stevie getting the demo at the trade show on RUclips.
He actually made weird fishes / arpeggi for this instrument. You can watch a live performance of an early version of the song that sounds more like it was made on an arpeji
@@hanzdermann7184 I can go to a pawnshop rn and find a nice guitar for less than 200$.

Yes, I'm aware it's quite simple with practice. But with the arrangement of a guitar, it takes more than tapping your fingers on a stationary board. There's the Hammer, Pull, and Follow up. With this, you literally just tap your finger.
We had that already, sort of. Its was called the harpsichord. Its that higher end of the register plucked piano sounding instrument. That being said, this thing looks neat though. Kind of looks more like a sitar descendant since the frets keep the string suspended. I dig how fluid playing it seems to be.

WHOA, this is one of those things you see that you wished grew in popularity s you can see how people apply it in mew works or even old works to see how it compares tonother covers.
yeah it's funny, every time I mess around on a keyboard I try to manually vibrato it by wiggling my fingers (just a habit I'm used to from years of guitar).
Theres a guitar called the swickster that was invented by a guitarist in vegas. Frets were colored white or black like a piano. Was a cool concept, just doing too much for learning something simple.
The sounds the instrument makes are sick. I saw someone cover sleepwalk with one and it was sublime. Almost sounded like a PC Engine in some parts. Just so electrically smooth and pleasing to the ears.
Incase people are wondering how it makes noise, h there’s an electrical current running through each string, which is disrupted by our skin and produces sound based on the string length and where on the string our finger is disrupting the current. Edit: I should’ve mentioned that this is speculation based on my technological knowledge
it's not just pickups? Because it seems to be sensitive to string tension if you can do bends, so that would mean it either has a tensionometer (complex, nightmare to tune) or just has pickups for the actual string vibration?
I think it's a bit of both? Potentiometer to determine where on the string finger is pressed and the tension sensor to determine the intensity/bend of the note.
I'm pretty sure it operates similar to an electro-acoustic guitar. There is a piezo pickup somewhere on it (likely at the "bridge" or whatever equivalent this thing has) that takes the vibrations produced and converts it into an electrical current. I don't know how these are made, so I can't say for sure, but given how similar instruments do it I'm pretty confident in my answer.
@@whiterice2752 It being a small buisness doesn’t justify 4-7k depending on the model. You can get a whole nice piano for that money, or a bunch of super nice guitars. I could see 2-3k since it wouldn’t be mass produced.

What an amazing instrument.
amazing !!! that instrument is just .... wow !
The sounds the instrument makes are sick. I saw someone cover sleepwalk with one and it was sublime. Almost sounded like a PC Engine in some parts. Just so electrically smooth and pleasing to the ears.
Where can I find the sleepwalk cover??

❤❤❤❤ I loved the sound of the new instrument! Excellent and beautiful Inveçao! Your father is a Genius!
"What if a piano and a guitar had a baby?"
"KEYTAR!!!"
"HARPEJJI!!!"
"Oh ok"
The Keytar takes more after the piano, while the Harpejji takes more after the Guitar, they're siblings!
Insane, such a cool instrument
Incase people are wondering how it makes noise, h there’s an electrical current running through each string, which is disrupted by our skin and produces sound based on the string length and where on the string our finger is disrupting the current.
Edit: I should’ve mentioned that this is speculation based on my technological knowledge
it's not just pickups? Because it seems to be sensitive to string tension if you can do bends, so that would mean it either has a tensionometer (complex, nightmare to tune) or just has pickups for the actual string vibration?
@@ajasen maybe, sorry for not specifying. This is partially a guesstimate and partially knowledge
I think it's a bit of both? Potentiometer to determine where on the string finger is pressed and the tension sensor to determine the intensity/bend of the note.
I'm pretty sure it operates similar to an electro-acoustic guitar. There is a piezo pickup somewhere on it (likely at the "bridge" or whatever equivalent this thing has) that takes the vibrations produced and converts it into an electrical current. I don't know how these are made, so I can't say for sure, but given how similar instruments do it I'm pretty confident in my answer.
Nah! Everyone knows that the god of Rock is actually singing through this thing! 😂
They're wayyyyy too expensive though
They’re custom shopping them bro it’s a small business
@@whiterice2752ok but they start at $3200.
I mean fair point, but what else did you expect from a custom built instrument from a small family business?
@@whiterice2752 It being a small buisness doesn’t justify 4-7k depending on the model. You can get a whole nice piano for that money, or a bunch of super nice guitars. I could see 2-3k since it wouldn’t be mass produced.
Can you live with 3k a month? You will spend 1500 on materials, so just 1500 will be left for food and paying bills... Imagina if they sell just one a month, yeah, they need to charge more yo br able to survive, if Ibanez whas a small business selling one guitar per month, i guess they would charge the same...

Please add an option for harmonics
This is a divine gift from a wonderful man and inventor, never have I needed something so badly and not even known it until now
Irónicamente, la espera del uber es una representación de cuando uno no valora lo que tiene en el preeente por estar esperando algo más en el futuro. Tristemente, me pasa.
¿Qué tiene que ver eso?

なんじゃこりゃー😮初めて見ました。楽しそう
My adhd ass *creates master peice* "how the fuck, i was just tapping my fingers"
Bro that's insane instrument ❤
Vibrato by just rubbing the string? THIS IS LEGITIMATELY TRANSCENDING TO SPIRITUAL LEVELS OF HAPPINESS EVEN THO IDK HOW TO PLAY INSTRUMENTS!!!!! GIVE MEEEEEE
Amazing! It all sounds like Daft Punk. I imagine this comes from a piano player / keyboardist playing a piano / keyboardist style, but thru a guitar filter.
Leaving that tapping sequence unresolved hurt my soul
What the hell I just witness?? 😯
Thats awesome!!!🤟🔥🎸
yea but can you play the breakdown in domination on it?
what the pantera one?
Can you play a eruption on it?
Hopefully 😂😂
Nope can't change pitch dramatically like that without a trem
@@LRS-Musicyou could add a pitch wheel to fit even more with the keyboard vibe
@@camsellars true
@@LRS-Musicyou could hook it up to a pitch pedal
Part of me wants to give this a guitar body and make it the neck and just have this badass 20 or so string half fret half not guitar, would be metal asf.
that instrument is great, your dad has a gift from God! God bless!
Man your dad is damn cool for inventing this badboy!
Ur dad did not only think outside the box he observed it from a different angel 🤘
Angle*...
Right! I didn't even notice I spelled it wrong lol

It only remains to check if it wasn't an invention done earlier.
wouldn't that be a keytar?
it was a hawaiian slide gutiar clearly
That already exists, it's a keyboard you hold like a guitar
@@lauri4887dude.
No, because of the strings. A piano has strings a keyboard not.
thats just a carryable keyboard tho...
What? 🤯 I'd love to see someone play this!
