Guitar Oscillations Captured with iPhone 4
I just happened upon this trick when testing what it was like filming from inside my guitar. *Note this effect is due to the rolling shutter, which is non-representative of how strings actually vibrate. Tips: • You must have the strings brightly backlit to get the camera to capture at such a high frame rate (pure conjecture). You can see how the effect fades when the buildings come into view. • Use a pencil *This was used with the front facing camera, try the back camera, it may capture better! (tried it, it didn’t look as good for me) There is a heated discussion with *real science* over at reddit www.reddit.com *UPDATE here is the ‘tracklist’ :14 – „Tears in Heaven“ by Eric Clapton :56 – „Signe“ by Eric Clapton 2:57 – Snippet of „Tomorrow Land“ by John Scofield – the rest is just noodling around. Also, I never thought I’d be known as a ‘youtube guitarist’, I just play for fun- I’m actually a motion graphics designer/animator. Check out www.justkyle.com follow me on twitter! http
„While my guitar gently peeks.“
@unitednudistmop hey retard, it’s actually true, you just have to lower the contrast, put a lot of light in the strings and the phone tracks one group of points in the string producing that effect, I did a essay on this in physics and I got a A+, best regards retard
Way cool
Of course they do. How do you think sound is created? Are YOU are retard?
MMM?!
@acetonadocontinente its fake, strings dont vibrate at all like that, are u a retard?

@tanilovescoke Eric Clapton- Signe
I wonder what this what look like in Sungha Jung’s guitar.
God I would love to see someone play some hardcore on an acoustic with an iPhone in there.
@acetonadocontinente haha
, yeah. what I really meant was that it is not how the strings actually vibrate. 
this is so fucking cool
I’ve tried and it didn’t work, any advice? maybe camera type, resolution, anyrhing?
@ErikEspangberg there is science to it
what the heck….?
@tanilovescoke It starts like Tears in heaven (Eric Clapton)
ok, ill give it my best go on how to explain this: A rolling shutter on a camera means that the camera scans from left to right (or right to left) and not the whole frame at once. This means that while the strings are vibrating, our eyes see a blur, but the camera scans it and shows where the string was during the scan. I know its hard to comprehend but i’m sure you guys will get it. This is terrific and genius and the guitar playing was awesome! keep it up!
How you can’t love guitars, no matter what you listen to, I have no clue.
i’ll try it
That was koo!!
i tried this but my iphone gives out a distortion like sound pls give me some help!!!
Who whould have the idea of putting your iPhone in the guitar? LMAO
