OK, this is entertaining, and informative, and as many have mentioned, the production value is top notch. As a physics teacher and a musician, I couldn't help but notice that while the verbal descriptions were spot on, some of the animations were not. When depicting the fundamental there should only be ONE antinode. Also, when talking about overtones, the wave representing the higher octave should have twice as many wavelengths (that is, each wavelength of the octave higher note should be half as long as the lower note.
Otherwise, nicely done. A good intro to acoustics for people interested in music.

Im a big nirvana fan boy but sorry Kurt cobain cant be put with page and hendrix. He made catchy guitar riffs but was never a guitar god like Hendrix, page, John Lennon, George harrison, jerry Cantrell, etc.
Legends musician but cant shred. Still see him as a legendary guitarist but not in the top 20 best guitarist of all time

Cobain was a great guitarist, just not to guitar snobs who think technique is everything. Would I say he could shred though? Probably no, shred has connotations

I disliked the video cuz you mentioned Kurt can shred.
Doesn't mean I disliked kurt, but obviously you don't know who these guys are. But still loved the video.

This video is off the hooook! I study electrical engineering and signal processing, and this is exactly why. Keep it up TED-ed!

So. Don't try to BE God, just do your best to join in on the JAM! Cosmic theology! But. Why do all waves need strings?
