Terrapin Flyer Rob scallon uses a shovel...

Terrapin Flyer tennis*

nope... it is a badminton racket... the handle is too long and the head too small to be a tennis racket ;)

TylersTerrifyingADVENTURE It's an old tennis racket. Check your facts before trying to look smart.

TylersTerrifyingADVENTURE are you serious? No. Youre so wrong

The sound coming out of his speaker was made by a real guitar. He's just pretending to play the tennis racket, while he has pre-recorded music coming out of his speaker. He's a phony.

Then what about from 0:59 to 1:09, where he takes his right hand off the racket, and the music is still playing? That proves that the music is pre-recorded.

Bob Crestwood he has a loop pedal it records and replays what he just played when he presses it

Also look at the length of the racket -- it's too short to get the notes he's "playing." The pitch you get from a string depends on the length of the string -- the shorter the string, the higher the pitch; the longer the string, the lower the pitch. The music coming out of his speaker is of normal pitch for an electric guitar -- but electric guitars have strings that are twice as long as the "strings" on this tennis racket. There's no way he's getting those notes from such short strings -- it's all fake.

Bob Crestwood ..... uh .... I guess you are just having a laugh but in case you are not , the pitch depends on the length of the string AND the tension AND the gauge (thickness ) of the string . He is doing the bizzo.

enrique rodriguez haha, racket, get it?

Basically a stick with guitar pickups and strings on it.

1:01 you can see the 2 strings above the pickup.

He took a racket and attached a string (or two?) and wired in a pickup, loosely put in a jack and he had an amp down there. He used zipties for frets to get a sound.

angel mendoza fake

:D

The writing and character development was so good, I didn't see it coming at all!

Brian Breen do u realize there are strings above the actual Tennis racket

Brian Breen and there’s something called Looping that exists

😆

Could’ve been an Alice band.

I feel you bro 😂

Zak Farley it a badminton racket

thick shady No, it's not, it's an old tennis racket.. I have one similar to this one that my dad used to play tennis with when he was young.

Zak Farley everything sounds better than a Gibson smh

zues2013 Wtf nothing sounds better than a Gibson Fender-lover

But would it djent?

Dafuq lol

Someone has already done that the video is called is mayonnaise an instrument

Nico Everything what about horse radish

or some rancid budweiser, or kaopectate

Darius Burinskis it’s actually only two strings

@@gootshie2914 whoooshhh

@@therealthev the racket only got 2 strings: one horizontal and one vertical

@@therealthev If you've ever looked closely at a tennis racket you'd know that one string goes up and then back down and then back up etc. So there are actually only 2 strings in the racket. Edit: I'll clarify that I still think the original joke was funny, but the correction is also funny.

v26. you're dumb. the racket itself only has two strings. we aren't talking about the instrument.

of course he is a musician. That means he is a scientist too.

Joseph Padron or a better interpretation...a genius in pickled herring standards. hic-up!

he's just another street performer who performs already written famous songs for money. the guitar was bought, the butter knife thumb piano is a simple setup, he bought a looper and effects pedals..... he's not a scientist for what he has, he's a musician. i agree with you manuel, but the original comment was suggesting he made his gear.... he did not.

Why not both?

swanclipper oh come on

That is such a cool idea

Arukendo yeah.....

With all the manufactured music out there on the streets in the dirt is where music will allways have a safe home, where it can remain genuine and unadulterated.

The foundation and band called “Playing For Change” has been following the same idea for almost a decade I guess.

In Australia its called triple j haha

" the musical human spiritual is beautiful, & this brother has got one humbling example." What a beautiful thing to say!

Definitely better than me, but I'm no professional, especially not in Nashville

@@a_makarov Not all of us. Some of us have keyboards instead.

Jones see, what I’ve tried for years to tell all my out of town family & friends is how that in Nashville, even the bums are often world class musicians. It’s insane and it’s a doggone shame! I support em (full disclosure) when I can, cuz they AINT out here makin dreams come true on 4th & Broadway! I know how tough it can be, so my heart won’t let me just walk by and roll my eyes.

@@fonkyhonky1979 Ain't that the truth. There's talented musicians everywhere you look. I wouldn't classify myself as one, I merely dabble- but even I have been recorded before, playing Bodhran on a folk album. And I collaborated with a buddy on writing a weird Al style set of parodies for fun. But my day job is in healthcare IT.

😂😂😂😂

Don't play with knives!

I could'n agree more!

Not to take away the amazingness of his performance, but there's probably close to $1K of electronics going on here.

Instruments.

Arsehole

he didn't make this instrument, I bought one last week.

you can buy tennis rackets in every music store.

Do not offend Ray Charles, this has NOTHING to do with him. Ray had talent..

Marcus Halvorsen yeah u right mate .. u come to my house , and we will cry together 😂

To be fair, you can probably get a used entry level guitar for the price of a tennis racket. Especially considering that he still had to obtain hardware to add to the racket plus the expense of time.

That racket isn't new though, so you could probably get it for basically free at some scrap place.

Bubba Gurt strapped a pickup and some guitar strings to a tennis racket. And boom we have a guitar.

First, is not a guitar, rather is an electric Ukelele. Second, there are videos on youtube explaining how to convert even altoid boxes in electric ukeleles.

first ...he's playing and making it sound as a guitar and seond ukulele is an instrument from the same familly and thrd it was not about HOW he built the instrument but about how it sounds played by him.In the set-up that he made.Which shows real musical skills plus an unconventional approach.

may I kindly ask that you shut the fuck up. both of you ;)

"I'm curious how he build the tennis racket guitar." He didn't it's just a regular tennis racket that he's pretending to play while he has pre-recorded music played by a real guitar coming out of his speaker. It's a phony act.

yes, he's using wah

Danny Altamira Eh, the pedal's on the ground obviously, since it's an effect that can be applied to anything...

porcapizza is his Facebook
