More proof that the player is more important than the instrument.

Much like the cigar box guitar stuff.

That's awesome, I wonder what he did to get the different sizes, looks like he just twisted multiple strands.

I'm sure his fingers have no plaque. :biggrin:

Those are some minty fresh chords there. :p

Seriously though, that was pretty cool to see. I can appreciate musical talent as the only instrument that I can play effectively is the kazoo....or maybe the triangle.

He used nylon dental floss for a classical guitar, that would normally be strung with.... nylon strings. It's pretty neat but it's pretty much the same thing. It's probably easier to fret at least.

The whole dental floss thing is kinda irrelevant. I like the shit out of that song, and it has sent me on a YouTube adventure for the rest of this guy's stuff. It's pretty much all awesome so far. I recommend "my nightmare".

the real question is was the floss waxed and mint flavored.


pretty impressive picking, not too many can play rhythm and lead at the same time.
