Guy Captures Video Of Guitar String Oscillations

This is neat. Using the iPhone 4, youtuber Justkylevids managed to capture a video of his guitar oscillating, sparking a debate on reddit over the video's credibility. Some say it is edited, while others say it happened because of the iPhone's rolling shutter. I say regardless of the video's legitimacy, it's a dizzying and awesome look at sound in motion.

  • With the help of the original creator of the video, Kyle Jones, I tried it again today with the sun through my window. IT WORKED!! You can do this too by: having an iphone4, using a bright sky, and picking/strumming rather hard. Thanks Kyle!! (also, I know I suck at guitar)

  • Not fake. “It occurs because its CMOS sensor captures video one line at a time, so there's an increasing lag as it scans down the frame. This 'rolling shutter' effect of movement being displaced across each frame can also be seen in DSLR-shot movies. In this case the video has been rotated, so the effects of that delay run left-to-right, giving interesting (and pretty) jagged effects, particularly on the bottom 'E' string.”

  • Possibly fake but all of you need to realize that nylon acoustic strings visibly oscillate more than steel strings

  • Ok so I watched this 5 min ago, it blew my mind, and then literally 3min ago I just finished fishing my iphone4 out of my guitar. I now believe the video is fake. Here's my crap guitar playing skills to prove it. (I figured the light from the fan was providing enough of a “back light” and the only thing I see is normal vibrations)

  • I'm going to try this next time I have my acoustic guitar with me. I'll then post it to show what my camera does. Looks pretty cool regardless though.

    If you can't see that from outside of the guitar, what makes you think you could see it from the inside?
