The amazement of super slow motion video never grows old. It was always a highlight when I watched episodes of Mythbusters and the way it wows me hasn't really changed. Check out the amazing wobble of the cymbals later in the video. Super cool :)

In this fun, 3-min performance from the World Science Festival, musician Bobby McFerrin uses the pentatonic scale to reveal one surprising result of the way our brains are wired. Listening to Bobby McFerrin sing may be hazardous to your preconceptions. Side effects may include unparalleled joy, a new perspective on creativity, rejection of the predictable, and a sudden, irreversible urge to lead a more spontaneous existence.

This has a super funny intro and is followed by an awesome lesson by John Mayer looking at his spin on the classic 'Crossroads'. He looks at the finer details that arent normally looked at in guitar lessons.

A performance from the original American Alternative/Rocktronica band, Pinn Panelle, demonstrating how to replicate an electronic artist's music on live instruments. This is "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" by Skrillex, his YouTube channel is: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheOfficialSkrillex There are no sequences, or backing tracks playing behind the band.

Imagine if you could have a remote control that controlled an orchestra. (Feel free to jump to 3:15, it is a little slow to get started.) Aleksey Igudesman & Sebastian Gürtler, together with the Upper Austrian Youth Orchestra in a project called "The Cyber Conductor".

Flying robot quadrotors perform the James Bond Theme by playing various instruments including the keyboard, drums and maracas, a cymbal, and the debut of an adapted guitar built from a couch frame. The quadrotors play this "couch guitar" by flying over guitar strings stretched across a couch frame; plucking the strings with a stiff wire attached to the base of the quadrotor. A special microphone attached to the frame records the notes made by the "couch guitar". These flying quadrotors are completely autonomous, meaning humans are not controlling them; rather they are controlled by a computer programed with instructions to play the instruments.

This is what happens when you get a new ukulele and you only know how to play guitar!

A crazy yet talented European guy demos the Boss RC300.

I just downloaded Garageband for iPhone today and after giving it good spin this evening Ive got to so its absolutely stunning! Ive downloaded 6 or 7 drum machine and music production apps in the last two week that have come up short. Must of them just arent very functional when it comes to actually 'making music' rather than just toying around. The amazing this is the price, at just over $5 Im utterly wowed. I truelly believe that several hundred music apps have just become redundant. There are some elements in it that the full computer version doesnt even feature. The integration of an on board sampler is an absolute killer. I look forward to putting this baby to good use when stuck places with time to kill. More details

Bob Zabek's Youtube channel is appropriately title bobwizard because he certainly is a wizard on the fretboard. Jump straight to 1:21 to get past the intro noodling where Bob really starts to show his musicality aswell and not just his tapping skills. Bob's playing is a strange hybrid touching on elements of Steve Vai style hammer on bends and groovy John Mayer style slap percussion.
