View From Inside a Guitar [Video]

Very cool perspective shows the strings oscillating.

I'm on the fence about whether this could be real.

Of course, you would probably never notice this in normal circumstances, but then again, with a sufficiently low framerate, it may be possible.

Take, for examples, seeing a car wheel appear to rotate backwards, or seeing a computer screen on a video appear to flicker.

Each has to do with the fluctuation inherent in an electrical system, so it is possible.

(And, as a preemptive comment, you have never seen a wheel appear to rotate backwards except under a streetlight or through a camera. Never in broad daylight. It's a fact. Look it up)

He must have been listening to Eric Clapton Unplugged.

He does explain this in the description on the youtube video, it's because of the rolling shutter on the camera; rather than exposing the whole image at the same time in each frame, it 'rolls' across the frame, so different points are exposed at slightly different times (which can lead to some odd distortions with moving things).

It has something to do with the way the camera on the iPhone works.

What's cool is how the strings seem to emulate the waveform of the note.

If this is real, it's really cool

This is really cool

I had the same thought. I also think I'm forwarding this to a physics teacher friend of mine.
