Joachim, if you had a WalMart in Germany it would be in the sporting goods section with the rest of the fishing gear. The tape is in housewares, and the pipe is in automotive.

Ha! Something like this, if not this exact clip, showed up on the surf guitar forum a while back. Good for a laugh.

Thanks for the info Robert!
A question: Are these 16th or 32nd notes?

32nd notes, I believe. That would be eight notes per beat. It’s kind hard to hear though because of the clicking sound of that device.

Match the Chord Buddy with that and you would almost have an automatic guitar player. Just wind it up, push a button and it plays! https://www.chordbuddy.com/

Interesting coincidence that Instagram calls these video clips REELS, and this guy is using a fishing reel on his guitar.
