Classical Guitar & iPhone Camera
You know how when you zoom in on some audio or a sample it looks like a wave? Or a bunch of crazy lines? Check out this video of an iPhone recording inside of a classical guitar. The strings vibrate just like the audio wav forms we see inside of our DAWs!

Richard Gere Guitar Auction Just Short of 1 Million
Richard Gere has G.A.S. or had G.A.S. but decided to auction off his personal guitar and amp collection as I reported a few days ago. Well the numbers are in and his collection fetched $936, 438! Not to shabby!
The most expensive guitar sold was a 1960 Gibson Les Paul which was bought by a private collector for $98,500!
Martin Guitars even bought back a few of their own guitars!
A 1931 CF Martin that went for $62,500 (£40,000), was among three lots bought by the guitar manufacturer
The actor has said it was “painful” to let go of “my true friends”.

Richard Gear Acquisition Syndrome
Richard Gere is a gear head. I had no clue! Apparently he is auctioning off his collection og high end guitars and amps! One of the most impressive is the Gibson Flying V previously owned by Albert King that sold for $74,500!!
Plus with how he describes his guitar collection you can tell he is an aficionado:
“It’s like falling in love. You’ve got to bond with it and hear what it’s saying to you. Each guitar makes you play differently. It’s like touching a woman. How does she like it?” He laughs. “I’d always manage to find something that I liked, and the next thing I knew, I had over a hundred guitars.”
Yup. It really is like that too.
