The weirdest self-made instruments in the world

 

Theremin - Over The Rainbow

This song was written by Harold Arlen for the 1939 MGM classic THE WIZARD OF OZ. It is widely believed to be the most loved and enduring popular song of the 20th century. It is played here on the 1929 RCA theremin that once belonged to the late Hollywood thereminist, Dr. Samuel Hoffman.

 

a demo would have been nice ?!

John McLaughlin played with a similar guitar but I can't find it, anyway I found this, probably similar complexities / techniques.

Sort of a guitar midi as he program all the instruments with his guitar!

Quite similar to David Guetta

 

Pat metheny guitar!!

 

This is possibly the most obscure, unique and intriguing thing I've never seen before in my life. Thanks for posting, I probably would never have seen it if I didn't see your post. Looks like something Vampires play on when they've had their fixing of blood cauldrons.
