I think you're being generous with how that would actually sound. Since that guitar is not even plugged anywhere it would sound like just raw strings being sorta strung on
@@efa666 Yeah, back when this episode originally aired, you could find guitars like this in some department stores. I never had one or knew anyone that did, though.
Just depends on whether or not you are a woodworker & your skill set. I know a feller who works at a saw mill, has only four fingers on his fret hand & he plays guitar a heck of a lot better than he saws wood.
Otto has simply mastered his own strings. People who play standard tuning couldnt ever possibly understand especially if I described it. Its way too much genius.
It does sound kind of expressive. It sounds like a noisy thrash or death metal solo. Or something that can built up to something more melodic. Afro-glam metal band Living Colour likes solos like that. The band Porcupine Tree also sometimes like to put dissonant guitar solos to contrast with their typical melodic sound and atmosphere.
People have made drum and trombone equivalents, but the guitar is the one instrument that is truly NEVER animated correctly. The finger positions and rhythms make it way, way too expensive
That really sums it up nicely! Money is really the limiting factor here, and even if they had a large budget, they would probably want to spend that extra money animating something else.
I think some anime series done it the right way too, but the downside was minimizing angles where instruments are shown or even having bands... rarely play at all, to save animation budget.
@@tedybear7968 I never understood why people keep saying that. I watched the show and loved it, but what people mostly point out are things like the gear but as a guitarist myself, they did not animate the fingerings correctly and it looks silly at times. They do at least get the hand position right most of the time tho, that greatly helps in making it seem more believable.
I think the fact that the guitar is an SG with a reverse Fender headstock, two single coils and a Fender trem block with the bar on the wrong side should have given it away
I used to be in a band with a lefty guitarist who played with a righty’s string configuration (low notes on the bottom); he could shred that thing to pieces lol. Blues legend Albert King did the same.
@@starlxy you misunderstand, unless you restring the guitar. if you take a left hand or right hand guitar and play it with the other hand the strings are upside down completely changing the notes on the fretboard.
It's funny because you started your channel inspired by him(i remember because i'm one of your first 50 subs) and now he does a video inspired by your video, must feel great! And I'm clearly inspired by both of you guys, keep doing amazing videos remembering the community that music can be a lot of fun!
@@nicohope4 yup, making videos has been really fun and the support from the community is awesome and it keeps me motivated to continue to try to bring something new to the table. Glad you’ve stuck around since 50 subs!
What you have to keep in mind is that this was the early '90s. Otto was probably toking on that bus, and everyone else on that bus was affected as well. Therefore the sound we're hearing is impressionistic, not realistic. Which, you try drawing 30 times per second. It's a terrible strain on the animators' wrists.
It’s because the animators are not guitarists. They are animators. Also something to consider is they may not have had the guitar music sent to them yet. Wouldn’t be uncommon to just be told “it’s 5 seconds of guitar playing”.
Nah, I'm a guitarist and an animator. I just wouldn't waste time getting the animation exactly right for a 10-second clip in a weekly cartoon. Animation takes a long time and is very expensive. Especially for a television show, the name of the game is SPEED. Now for a film production like Pixar where the production cycle is 2-4 years, they can afford to send their teams on locations, consult with experts, and focus on perfect accuracy. But that's not really a reasonable expectation of a show like this. You're looking at thousands of dollars per SECOND of animation for cheapo TV animation like this.
@@dimiaraujo90 ..oh yeah..I know..I can see. But don't you know that you can buy those components and put them on a "righty" body?! Yes! You can!...it's a righty body because the volume and tone controls are on the bottom bout! If I'm not mistaken, SRV has a strat with a lefty trem/bridge on a righty body...go Google it, I'm pretty sure. Peace brother!✌🤟🤞
Oh IT IS a left handed guitar, you can se Bart earlier in that chapter trying to play with his left hand since he's lefty and they didn't bother with the details when Otto started playing , he's supposed to be playing a lefty guitar upside down all the time
Nice vid. This has always bothered me, not so much in animation, but in films. You can tell in certain films, how it's clear that no one on set has ever picked up a guitar before. In fact I will judge the quality of a film by how well or badly the guitar is done. I have walked out of films over it in the past..
They only try to do finger movements that go in time with what’s being played. Where his hand actually is on the frets or if it’s a piano then on the keys usually stays in one spot (most of the times wherever they first grabbed it at it stays)
I'm glad other people notice this stuff! There's an episode of Disney's "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" where Jake plays the electric guitar of a song....with a bass guitar. You should make an episode like this with that! I always wondered how Disney could mess that up lol Very nice guitar playing btw!!
Actually Metalocalypse took great care to animate the guitar animations accurately; they are literally the only ones I know of to have done this however.
"Guitars are never animated correctly" Well actually, the guitar animations in Family Guy are pretty damn accurate; chord shapes, strumming patterns, everything.
I think Metalocalypse is the only cartoon I could think of where they animated the hand motions correctly. I mean they even made an animated tutorial on how to play the Duncan Hills Coffee solo
In episode 2F09 when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
I've done some animations, and i'll tell you, the animators can't be fucked to animate it correctly unless they're told to. and with a weekly upload schedule they have to follow, something like correctly animating music playing is usually ignored. love your cover tho, sounded awesome
En el episodio 2F09, cuando Tommy toca el esqueleto de Daly como un xilófono, toca dos eces la misma costilla dos veces seguidas y aún así produce dos notas diferentes. Es decir, ¿se supone que creamos que es una especie de... xilófono mágico o algo así?

Awesome sound! I see you use fl studios to record your tracks? I do as well. Any pointers on how you mix and eq your guitar tracks in that DAW? Any tips would be a tremendous help!
Gonna be the pedantic party pooper and say yes obviously the guitar playing isn't animated correctly, but there is still _some_ correspondence between what the animators are doing and what we're hearing. Really look at Otto's three fingers on the seven fret fingerboard (lol) -- if it were transcribed more studiously it wouldn't be just noise, it'd be a bunch of noodling on pentatonic shapes on the first five frets of the guitar. Now I want to see what Lisa's hands are doing when she's playing that one protest song outside the power plant and also throws in a little Classical Gas per audience request lol
Hay casos peores a qué no los animen correctamente, por ejemplo en el capítulo de la serie amphibia cuando las chicas forman una banda, las guitarras tenían 4 cuerdas como un bajo
Otto played that guitar masterfully for a man with only six fingers and two thumbs.

@@redaipo more than likely joking and if they are, it makes the comment even more funny

The Simpsons writers and producers weren’t dummies so it’s odd they butchered the design so much. Maybe for comedic effect

He did pretty well for someone with 8 fingers and played a left handed guitar upside down
