Yes, you read that right: you can watch Metallica's Black Album ballad "Nothing Else Matters" from inside the guitar and it's insane.
Usually, dropping your iPhone into the soundhole of your acoustic guitar wouldn't be considered a smooth move. But in this case, it's the right move. Our YouTube guitarist does just that, fiddles around a bit, then starts playing the opening notes of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters. That's when your high school physics class (that you probably skipped) kicks in.
You can see the vibrations of the guitar strings! Those vibrations are called standing waves, and they looks cool as hell with the backdrop of blue sky dotted with little fluffy clouds. Take a look below, and don't say I never taught you anything.
