Behold the Mobius Megatar





This thing is fucking sick! It's a 6 string base and a 6 string electric guitar combined in one 12 string beast. You can see how it's played on youtube. Here are the links:
The first are by an artist named Dino Haak. His band is called The Dino Haak Collective. These guys are awesome.

The second are by musician Jan Laurenz, who plays a beautiful style.

Here are two things you might never guess about playing the Mobius Megatar ...

#1 It's actually slightly easier to learn than to learn normal guitar. This goes against your intuition -- look at all those strings! -- but, you see, like a harp you don't play them all at once. It's actually easier to learn to, in effect, play bass and guitar at the same time, on a Mobius Megatar, than to learn normal guitar.

#2 This is about the most fun way to play music since you were five years old and you had a kazoo.

For lots more info, and even a free method book that shows you how it's done, and a demo video that shows how to easily learn to play it, visit the factory website at http://megatar.com.

Traktor here, saying, check it out, and be amazo.
