iPhone 4 Captures Guitar Strings Being Strummed [Video]

iPhone 4 Captures Guitar Strings Being Strummed [Video]

Posted July 15, 2011 at 6:30am by
Check out this video from justkylevids that captures the strumming of a guitar's strings from inside the instrument.

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.


Take a look below!
