This is what I need to improve my timing and rhythm.
I wonder how many SPG's he gets (song per guitar)?

Providing job security for guitar repairmen. Let's hope it catches on.

Regarding the comments below the video- "Amazing stuff" and such, I don't know what is so amazing. The guy apparently know 2 chords, and a high and a low position to play each of them.

Or maybe, what is amazing is his nerve to subject his guitar to such treatment.

With the monotony of the rhythm I only lasted a minute or so.

Who was it that had a buffing wheel grab and toss a new guitar across the room?

wonder what happens when the strap whips around a couple of strings... kindling to say the least.

I'm not so sure about job security... most likely it will only be done with cheap guitars that aren't worth fixing.

It's kinda like Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar.

Now I understand the function of a pickguard.
He needs an accessory that will slap him in the face, over and over again.

An interesting way to re-purpose a weed whacker. Great for YouTube, because one song is just about enough before the novelty of this wears out its welcome with listeners. Sort of like the musical marbles machine. If you have not seen the musical marbles machine, get thee to YouTube! Very cool . . . for precisely one song.
