This is just awesome. Thank you to Zach for sending me this video! The guy who filmed this also gives a short tutorial on how to capture this sort of thing if you feel like pushing a camera inside your guitar (not recommended if you exclusively play Gibson Hummingbirds):
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!There is a heated discussion with *real science* over at reddithttp://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/in2rc/guitar_string_oscillations_
