    Is that jazz standard autumn leaves at 5.00? Theres another video of touch stule guitar of that song on youtube somewhere, by an amazing guitarist called Stanley Jordan. Look up his letterman performance

    Actually it’s Fly Me to the Moon, though there are some similarities between the two songs. I like Fly Me as a demo because it has unusually regular progression through the Circle of Fifths.

    I have met Stanley, and seen him in performance — and did you see his performance in the Bruce Willis film called ‘Blind Date’? — and Stanley Jordan is absolutely fabulous. My favorite song of his is ‘Bolero.’

    Woah! The action on that particular instrument must be pretty low if you can pull stuff like that!

    To be honest, distortion wouldn’t fit an instrument like that, maybe light overdrive, but not under any circumstance distortion.

    Well, some players, who use distortion, might argue the point with you. I cannot post a link here in this reply but do a search for ‘Mobius Megatar,’ go to our website, and click the link that says ’songs,’ and listen to Ryan Smith, Dino Haak, and Jorge Pescara.

    How do you tune a 12 stringer (I mean.. what is the tuning?) ?

  8. garyopenhill on August 5th, 2008 4:13 am

    The Megatar standard is like a 6 string bass plus a long scale guitar (without the major second interval between string 4 and 5. Its all straight 4ths).
    However, you can tune it they way you want!

    I have a problem with distortion. Each time I try to move to a different string, it accidentally “plucks” the string and gives me an unneccessary open note.

    Can’t wait till mine gets here on Tuesday ….

    Try using a ’string deadener’. Weave some soft material under and over the strings between the nut and fret one, so that strings go dead fast when your fingers release them. That, and working on your finger technique can usually handle this situation.

    Thats about one homely beast of an instrument.Needs a drastic redesignment.

  13. MobiusMegatar on April 4th, 2009 11:10 am

    Maybe. It’s designed for function, and those who play it report it sounds great, feels great, balances well, playing sounds more ‘in tune’ than standard guitars and basses … and … its affordable. Maybe it’s prettier than it looks. ;)

    I have always been captivated by this instrument. I would like to see an very expressive player instead of the video game scores that sound repetitious.
