I guess you don't need to see anything, just feel the music?

Why is it 2 necks on the guitar? Whats the second for?

Fortunately the blindness is only temporal...

So his fingers can race neck-to-neck! :)
Actually the upper one is 12-stringed.

LS said...

Does he have 4 arms too, so he can play both necks? And extra eyes in the neck, so he can see anything at all?

EH said...

So I suppose the upper one gives a different sound? I don´t know so much about guitars, but I think they 12-stringed guitars in Spain, correct?

You´ll have to educate me, OK!

Yes, the strings sits in pairs so you pick two of them, tuned in unison or an octave apart depending on position, to play a note. It gives a fuller tone that way. I don't know anything about its origin but lutes have had this arrangement for at least 500 years.

Haha, I found a great quote about lutes, which can have up to 35 strings.

"If a lute-player has lived eighty years, he has surely spent sixty years tuning."

One of my fav singers plays with a 2 neck guitar...
