A Slow Acoustic Guitar Version of ‘Here Comes the Sun’ Performed at 20 Times its Original Speed

The amazing Steve Onotera aka samuraiguitarist filmed himself in real time performing an acoustic version of the classic Beatles song “Here Comes the Sun” and then took that footage and sped it up 20 times its original speed giving him an odd, animatronic look and a mechanical sound to the music.

Turns out if you play a guitar really slow and then speed it up it kind of sounds like a violin. …It was ridiculously slow, originally I was going to redo the audio normally but the sped up audio just sounded too cool. So while I did redo the audio, I did that at 20x slower as well and sped it up.?
