If Brunel did one man bands...

The Brits are a creative lot, always coming up with a solution to a problem. Think of the bouncing bomb, the first code-breaking computer, the jet engine, the telephone - the list is endless.

Whilst on a weekend break in Bath, Somerset, Mike came across this old guy busking with his fiddle near the old baths in the City who has solved the problem of unreliable guitar busking partners.

Unbelievably, he has invented this guitar playing machine which he operates using pedals with his feet. One plucks the strings and the other changes the chords at the neck through a complicated series of levers, wires and other mechanical wizardry. It sounds pretty good too!

Watch and be amazed.
