Raktim Khound of Jorhat, India, swung his acoustic guitar up over his head and played it resting across his shoulders for 5 minutes 37 seconds. Filmed from behind in one continuous take, the video shows his left hand on the neck above his head and his right hand strumming the body behind it, and he chose Vande Mataram, India's national song, for the attempt. RecordSetter timed the attempt from his first strum in position, about 22 seconds into the clip, until he brings the guitar back down at the six-minute mark. He never once gets to look at the strings.
