Any idea how that happens? I thought for the strings to make any sound they have to be moving; the different tones come from where you put your fingers. To get the strings vibrating one strums with the other hand.
In this video both are happening BUT on 2 different sets of strings?
I have to go back to the fridge, again?

This guy appears to be utilizing a couple of techniques.

You can play a guitar one-handed using the hammer on-pull off technique (google hammer on pull off). There is also a phenomena called sympathetic resonance which would be accentuated by having two necks on the one body (google sympathetic resonance)

And, the other guy with the 27 string guitar, is pretty good too.

The technique is called "Tapping".....With it, you can make a tone as you quickly press a string...As you notice, they use a system of CAPOS to pre-tune the strings to certain chords. Look up some videos of Eddie Van Halen...he perfected ond handed guitar p[laying...The tunes he plays are much more complicated than the simple ones seen here....Cheers...

It really sounded like crap didn't it? It did take skill, but why would you want to sound like that?
