This is a video of a custom nine-neck guitar produced by the Fender Custom Shop being played by three musicians simultaneously to perform Nena’s ’99 Luftballons’, with one guitarist sitting, one standing, and one standing on a chair. Granted, they each only play a single neck, so it’s unclear why
This is a video of musician Luna Lee (who I had the pleasure of seeing perform live at Disneyland many moons ago) covering Prince’s 1984 ultra-banger ‘Purple Rain’ on a traditional Korean gayageum. She does a fantastic job — very emotive. Me? I try to show as little emotion as
This is a video of musician Bernth attaching four handheld harps to an acoustic guitar to produce the world’s first 109-string harp guitar. Obviously, this is the perfect instrument for Goro from Mortal Kombat. Bernth says it took a while to learn how to play his new harp guitar, but

This is a video of very talented bagpiper Piper.Ally performing Lynyrd Skynyrd’s epic ‘Free Bird’ guitar solo on her instrument. She does a fantastic job, and I’d like to request that instead of a bagpipe rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’ being played at my funeral, I want this instead. And I
This is a video of the Epic Cello Quartet (part of Epic Symphonic Rock) performing a medley of Nirvana songs, Iron Maiden’s ‘The Trooper’, and System Of A Down’s ‘Chop Suey!’ during a concert in Lima, Peru. They do an excellent job — I always enjoy hearing songs performed on
