Whoa Man~~~!!!
What The Hell!

Its easier to do it back first liek in the video. If you wanna do the malmsteen frontal spin, gotta be a lil careful the horn doesn't land in your spine or i can predict you'll feel much pain... Or not feeling at all... =D

i trow it the other way cause my guitar neck's heavier than the body. Did it twice then lazy to spin again.
You don't want to end up like these idiots.

remember the strap locks or washers (the strap can still break off). And you might wanna plug out your cable unless you wanna get all tangled up in them. And watch your neck the straps can burnnnnnnnnnn...

 

[wayne1991]

the cables how??
i want to do with the cable on..
anytips for swinging with the cable still attached?

 

[Xingg]

cable right... you'll have to spin harder and the ending point must be there it is.. so it won't tangle up your body..

beware of frontal flips, the strap might burn your neck...

yup i tried it a few times..i just used a good and secure strap. those that wont come off easily(mine's a Levy Strap). i swing it backwards with cables on. just really needa swing super hard. the cable u have to put it between the straps before plugging into the jack so it wont come off while swinging..but it really burns ur neck, so i suggest u wear sumthing with collars.

 

[wayne1991]
