I have gone through 1000 comments and I will answer some of the ones that is recurring a ton. Q: Why did you not make the guitar be able to switch between guitar, bass and fretless with the motor? A: That was the original intend of the motor, we had encoder and code all set up. However, I had to get this video out this year because I had already delayed it several months for the sponsor. I also spent 1 week burning up motor drivers and potentiometers because the first stepper I got was overpowered for the drivers. I’m also bd at electronics. But one truly cool thing with positioning and stuff Is that you could have presets of neck movements. Like rhythmic spinning back and forth in patterns that fits the song? Q: You should have used a slip ring for the pickups, it allows cables to spin. A: This was the first thing that was tried, but I cut it from the vid. A slipring would work fine, it would just be slightly more complicated to integrate into the design VS bluetooth. However a slipring also introduces noise when spinning. I couldn’t hear any real life improvement vs the wireless system so I just went with the easiest for now. Q: The guitar pickup should be mounted on the guitar in a curvature so only the front facing strings makes sound. A: This was the first approach but some downsides didn’t make this solution good when going into the details. curved pickups to this degree does not exist currently so you would have to invent a new method of making pickups. This would add 3-4 weeks to project minimum. The height of the pickups is extremely important. If you look at your electric guitar you can see that each pickup is adjusted to the 1/10 of a millimeter for that particular string. If the pickups doesn’t move with the string. The loudness would be impossible to balance. Using single pickups, the string could land inbetween the pickups. Even if ratcheting design was used. The string spacing is not the same on bass section as guitar section. I personally was more into the idea of spin chords and stuff and it wouldn’t work with this idea. Q: You should have done xxx it would be way more practical. A: This guitar is not made to be sold or practical. It’s entertainment engineering and I do it just because ‘it would be cool if’. Q: I want to buy it, how much? A: The cost would be ridiculous to buy this particular one. I think in total we put in 800 hours into this? But if you are simply interested in how much it would cost to build another version. I can try to break it down. Headless tuners/bridges = 700-1200 USD in total depending on brand. Custom made pickups = 450USD Strings: 150 USD for a set ( high price for the giga thick strings) Wireless system = 150 USD or something Besides this, we mostly used PLA and wood. You could of course find workarounds to keep prices lower. But if you count labour cost of workarounds it would end up even more expensive likely.

No joke nice prototype I think people would buy that it’s a novelty but it looks fun. In my opinion, it will be sick as heck if there was like a button on the guitar, you could press that spins the neck to the exact position you want it. Really neat. Good job it’s hilarious. And I’m not kidding. I think people would buy that it’s funny and looks like it’s fun just as a joke even. You better put a patent on that lol no joke you should that’s impressive.

I am not especially musical but I find your videos fascinating. It's the engineering aspect that interests me but even I can see a LOT of potential with this invention in the right musical hands. And that's what this is: a musical invention--a NEW instrument. Put this out there. Someone is going to show interest. I can foresee a bit more work on figuring out how best to control the spinning but that's relatively easy with modern hardware and programming. The hard part is done and it works! Don't be surprised if you are contacted by investors who want to take your prototype and bring it to market. Choose wisely and don't give up your ownership. You are an inventor. Take inspiration from other inventors who came before you, learn their stories and don't get stuck in a bad deal that sounds like a great deal at the time. You might even reach out to some of them. James Dyson comes to mind. He had to fight to keep his patents but he managed it. You will too. Don't just take the first deal you're offered because it is first. It likely won't be the best for you.

@VigilanteRacer 2 ай бұрын

Recommendations: Stepper motor, pedal or button to have a few key controls. 1. move to specific rotation, so your hands can jump back to a specific feature. 2. Try harmonics while its spinning. I imagine a slight offset on the timing for a soft finger rest and pick impact, 3. spinnning stably, pick locked in place hits every string as it passes. use the slide to set the not (use a rounded slide, your not one a flat guitar :D ) and also have a cushion or something to mute the string after it passes. using the slide to change the primary note, and then with the second hand, align the finger to various harmonics points. Sounding crazy, but this looks pretty awesome, and like its the birth of a new guitar, with just a few kinks to work out, and figure out a real calling. And just flat out, the bottom of this is looking incredible.

Suggestion: I hear a high noise floor being picked up when you are playing. Having individual pickups means you can control how you wire them. You could make pairs with one of them phase swapped, it would work like a humbucker and cancel the background noise. I will assume you just wired them all in paralell and maybe it made the impedance way lower than what should be expected for a guitar transmitter too. After all this work, should at least be worth a try, wiring pickup pairs in series and opposed phase as I said, and then in paralell with the next pair, then in series with the next set and etc. If you can get your hands on a multimeter and measure the coil resistance, it might be worth arrange your sets to hit the 8-14K ohms in total when its all connected. I love your creativity and admire your discipline in building such challenge concepts in real life. Please keep it up o/

You’re right. I just wired then in parallel! I did get a big book about guitar electronics. But I never read it. But it gets worse.

Some design addition ideas: 1. Add a rigid half cylinder shaped support from the body asking the neck to the end to keep from touching strings you're not actively playing as well as to brace the neck. It would also allow for a more stylish end that may or may not rotate. 2. Use position sensors to only activate the pickups on strings you're playing to reduce noise from ones you're handling with the web of your hand. 3. Program rotational stops using a stepper motor to rotate to specific locations to play bass or guitar and activate using the pedal position. This way you can quickly and accurately jump to where you want it to go in addition to free or motorized spinning.

This guitar is an interesting concept. I remember hearing about this from someone. I pray everyone who is reading this is doing well in the Name of Yahusha, Jesus, amein. Please, read this important message below. Greetings, everyone! I have a very important question for you. Will you go to shamayim (heavens) when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used Elohiym’s (Almighty’s) name in vain or lusted (which Yahusha [Jesus] said was adultery, Matthew 5:28)? If so, Elohiym sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemer, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there’s Good News. Though we broke Elohiym’s Law, Yahusha paid the fine by dying on the stake: “Elohiym so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Bēn (Son), that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Then Yahusha rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds (it’s no fairytale, it’s the truth). He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior and Messiah. Please, today, repent (turn) from sin and believe the gospel (Good News) and look for a believer and follower of Yahusha to baptize you in the Name of Yahusha ha’Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah) for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Ruach ha’Qodesh (Holy, Set-apart Spirit). For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as YaHUaH our Elohiym shall call (Acts 2:38-39). Pray and read the Scriptures daily and obey it. Do you suffer from pain, sickness or troubles in your family, job or living situation? You can pray to your Father in the shamayim (heavens) and ask Him to help you in the Name of Jesus. You can also get in contact with another believer of Jesus and come in agreement in prayer because Jesus said, “That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in the shamayim. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:19-20)” Jesus is coming back quickly to judge the living and the dead. Will you go to the shamayim (heavens) when you die? Shalom shalom (perfect peace and wholeness) to you all.

Suggestion: You should be able to program the motor to move a set distance and then stop. This way you can have a button (or buttons) on the ground that changes it over to the next set of strings. If you want it to still be able to cycle freely you'd need to program it to know where each set of strings are.

@kl-a1dcaypso945 5 ай бұрын

Glad to see this suggestion. You could really get crazy and make some cool music too. Think of adding a program, cpu, and positional sensors. It could run the rotation and braking for a song you came up with yourself. Or from your favorite bands. It could spin and brake on the next chord position automatically. You just need to finger the chord or use the slider. It could also cut pickups that are not in use to clean up the sound before spinning changes, or during them. You could also control the rotation, speed, brake, etcetera, with a peddle think rotary tool like a shop Dremel tool with a pedal for control. I think that you can get this dialed in over time. Better pickups and electronics, plus engineering revisions to the neck and body. If you use two metal rings that divide the strings from the electrics. The connections needed could be made to the rings on each of their respected halves. Once the pieces are mated together, the rings spin on top of each other completing the circuit. Without ever posing a risk of tangling. You could also cut output to certain degrees of the circle connections to improve sound when not needed. In theory you could tune different sections to how they suit the song. Rotating to whichever tuning you program for the song. So much potential. You have provided a working proof of concept. Hopefully you develop it more. It is gimmicky. But it is also cool and fun. Great project. I wonder if in order to make it more practical. You should think about creating a triangle that spins as the neck/ fretboard you choose. Giving you three flat changeable surfaces that you can play easier. Giving you a guitar, a bass, and whatever else you choose. Like a Key-tar (I’m joking.) Nice problem solving, fabrication and design. Thanks for sharing. Best of luck.

@RemmikRotus 5 ай бұрын

Exactly my first thought! Super fast spin and stops with maybe 3 or 4 foot pedals for each atop. Then it made me think the bass is pointless and just have 6 string 12 string and nylon string to choose from? Then though, maybe round is not needed and can go with a 3 sided rotating neck.

I am thinking that you are missing some opportunity where the Wooden/Plastic frame sits over the strings. Either that could have an optic sensor with a reflector in the neck to set rotational position for the motor or pick-up sensors to detect the 'flexing' of the neck, so that it corrects the frequency of the played note. Great progression through experimentation and keeping an open mind. Also solid determination. What my mum used to call 'stickability'. Great work Mattias. Does the curved fret board make it easier to play? Maybe just add that idea to a standard guitar and give the guitar your name.

This is the kind of video that truly feels like the beginning of something. I'm convinced that any instrument deemed useless is simply an instrument that hasn't found its musician. But this, it's an actually interesting evolution on the concept of guitar. Imagine if the motor could store positions and rotate to presets, or using other types of resonance instead of only pickups. At the very least, this is the type of instrument someone like Hans Zimmer could use to create his landmark exotic sounds. It's an incredible project, and one of the things that make humanity worth saving: all the knowledge accrued along the ages, multiple modern inventions, all serving the construction of a wild project. Like a literal dream being built. Love ya Mattias.

1- patents take several bureaucratic years to be put in place, so his idea would be protected in 2030. 2- this isn't proven to work reliably. It's no more than a unexplored toy at the moment, so there's no reason why companies would want to invest in manufacturing infrastructure and start producing it. They're already making money. They might be interested in the idea, but they would have to invest time and resources experimenting with it, before they could ever start producing something for real. 3- the necessity for patents is quite debatable. Investors and engineers are often more likely to reach out to the inventor and try to collaborate with him, than to try pitch an idea they don't even fully understand to someone else who's never even seen it before and start from complete scratch. There's a reason why many inventors earn royalties: because companies are interested in buying ideas from the person who actually knows all the details of how they work. Patents are usually more useful for a company to protect itself against competition. In other words, they're one of the many ways the government allows anti-competitiveness to exist.
