Rob has proving that he can make literally anything metal
Actually the intro of amazonia by gojira features a mouth arp
@@xhhbeats9658 oh it does too. That’s sick
Mouth harp is common in Finnish folk metal
@@jyrikuljuntausta4721 I didn’t know that. Folk metal is a genre that’s always intrigued me but never been something I’ve listened to
also it's literally metal
I like how Rob and Jaw's harps were almost a major 3rd apart, so they sounded really good together.
@@Jonathan-rw8uw fatherless response on you 😂
@@ButtChugDoug66 WHAT ELSE ARE YOU [Supposed] TO SAY???
@@spamtongspamton2948 figglebottom
Aaron: "I'm gonna teach you how to play this today."
Aaron two minutes later: "That sounds sick! How do you do that!?"
Aaron: And I took that personally.
Then just shreds at the end
7:22 me and boys listening back to our sick mix
Thats the sign of a true instrumentalist, learn from anywhere, Even an absolute beginner at an instrument.
NES controllers, jawharps, Rob's taking that everywhere.
Something tells me that this device will easily allow you to communicate on other planets.
Turns out distortion mouth harp is a completely viable intrument for metal.
Do you like Metallica?
Yeah gojira uses it pretty often, once in Amazonia and in the remembrance outro too
@@Alex26108 amazonia is a badass song!
I need to see a moth harp going through a metal zone
That was sick metal.
Playing techno on a mouth harp. Never would have imagined it, let alone expected it to sound spot-on.
First Rob did a breakthrough on his three finger technique on Tetris, now it is the Jaw Harp. Can't wait for him to try it on a musical buzzsaw in the future.
Wouldn't call it a breakthrough when it is a rediscovery of something ancient.
The ladies love his three finger technique
imagine if he does it on a violin
Jaws (the guy teaching him the jaw harp) actually plays a lot of nes Tetris
@@happyplace2225 Yep, pretty sure Rob and Aaron know each other through Jonas Neubauer
RIP
This actually looks like a fun instrument to play. I'll have to pick one up and try it.
Make sure you know EXACTLY what you are doing before you even put it up to your mouth. Many people have chipped teeth, cuts, and more from improper use of this instrument.
Yeah dude I have seen people get really KNARLY cuts on their lips.
@@trey7270 Yeah, I figured. That's unfortunate, it does sound great, but I'm sure I'd hurt myself with it.
@@607 I have a bamboo one it's impossible to hurt yourself with
@@iPostiPodiEatiYurihave you SEEN bamboo knives? Split bamboo reeds are some of the sharpest living materials out there aside from certain seashells. If it's been sanded down fine, but bamboo by itself can be rediculously sharp.
dude this instrument was mind-blowing; it sounds like a talk box, vocoder, and saw wave synth being manipulated by a filter all at the same time!! the fact that it's a tiny strip of metal you put in your mouth is just so crazy to me. Sick stuff!
Music and what you can do to make it is soo awesome to me! Like yes, literally having a metal strip vibrate can make so much music!
Seriously it's crazy the sounds people figured out how to make without electronics. And how small it is?! So it's obviously bigger and more complex but the hurdy gurdy is another one that's just mind blowing to me.
@@Osmotic yea the hurdy gurdy is pretty amazing, I'm guessing you've probably seen Patty Gurdy then? She makes excellent music with one!
@@SpydersByte look up Bear McCreary playing it. He did basically the whole black sails soundtrack with one
Welcome to the world of weird instruments my friend, I welcome you on the start of your journey
I never thought I'd ever hear distorted jaw harp, but I'm glad I did
It’s so fitting that a skateboarder would master the one instrument that at any point could leave you with the most painful mouth cuts 😂
I think its more like his nickname is jaws. so someone gave him one as a gift. Then one day he couldnt skate cause of an injury and it was just there. Nothing else to do while you wait to heal
Yea he's had worst mouth injuries than that thing could ever do.
Right, what's loosing one more tooth. Just a day's work.
@@adfadgaqgv that knee to face injury from kotr was rooough. I had a hard time watching that one.
@@Ottophil is
The moments where the guests go ''yooo how did you do that? that sounds awesome'' are so good man. Great to see people learning things they didn't know they could do with their own instruments
Rob is a natural musician. He always comprehends, and tackles all instruments like he has been a professional of that instrument his whole life. I love it!
Except the saxophone
@@twothreebravo literally clicked on this comment to say that xD
@@twothreebravo you beat me to saying that
3:41 techno
6:40 distorted harp
7:06 this some heavy shit
8:46 distorted harp breakdown
8:08 cool thingy
9:52 the breakdown
You and jaws are the most wholesome thing on the internet I love it
For real I love how he’s having jaws on the channel
The genuine amount of pure fun in both your faces made my day
The next First of October album should definitely include mouth harp
I would love to hear a first of October record with all strange instruments.
@@TheSpiffyNeoStar Weird gear!! Andrew must have lots of it.
4:48 - I love that you can tell Rob is a musician at heart because as soon as Jaws starts playing he starts jamming along.... You probably don't even have to speak w/ him, just walk up and start playing anything and he'll join in and make good music. LoL
Edit: That metal breakdown didn't need to be that sick.... That was actually awesome.
The effect everyone with a talk box wants to create with their guitar.
Do you feel like we do?
Yeah it's literally the same thing. You use vowel sound movements of the mouth to manipulate the sound. You can do the same thing by putting your phones speaker in your mouth.
So many different sounds from such a simple instrument. Remarkable!
Wicked to see Jaws jamming on something other than a skateboard too.
2:23 When giving Rob a new tool, you have to be careful 'cause he'll try tapping techniques on it and you end up with either new mouth harp tech or new tetris tech.
how you watch before it's uploaded? this is the second time i see this
@@marcelszekowski315 well it’s released unlisted then public
@@marcelszekowski315 You can support Rob on patreon and you get early access to his videos!
@@TheDarkMessiah How much is the patreon?
@@g6rf I pay just 1$ per video and get early access. People who pay more per video (3, 5, or 10) get more perks and exclusive videos and commentaries (among other things)
The first instrument, at age 7 or 8, that I became proficient with. Also the last instrument I became proficient with.
Hey that’s 1 more instrument than me lol
I love how everyone Rob jams with has a most excellent time.
It is probably the one thing i enjoy the most about these instrument videos, the person and Rob making an almost instant connection once they start playimg
Music is like that
Aight, I NEED more of that distorted mouth harp sound. That sounded insane!!
Reject autotune and synth, return to mouthharp
@ No, you fricking bot
You two MUST record an album... I need it...
Please!
My mom made me play one of these in the 5th grade for the talent show and I got picked on SO hard for it. I'm 40 now but I still have that same one in a drawer somewhere. I haven't played it since that day. Maybe I'll get it back out.
Should've brought the distortion pedal.
@@ir-dan8524 It was the late 80s. Were those a thing then?
Of course they were. I'm being sarcastic.
My mom had me pretend to play this while dancing to the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, “Chicken Train” song. It starts off with a great jaw Harp intro. I was in the 3rd grade, late 80s. 😂
Rob straight up colabbing out here like a champ! I love jaws and I love this
Rob brings that three-finger "sprint" move to every instrument and I love seeing it because it was the first thing that got me hooked on his style. Aaron really sounding like a new member of Code Orange in the death metal segment; with the way he hold the harp, he could use a harmonica mic and maybe use a pedal or two to recreate the distortions, and maybe use a pitch shifter for whammy squeals or just getting different notes.
Thanks to this channel for turning me on to Jaws and getting me back into being a fan of skateboarding and introducing me to another positive person who is broadly creative on the internet. (the Tetris and DJ streams are awesome)
I gotta say that out of all the musicians I have seen over the years you are the one that has consistently left me with motivation to get into music. I've been trying to get the motivation to learn mandolin over the past few years but life always pulls me away but every single video I watch of yours leaves me wanting to drop everything and pick up the nearest instrument and just start jamming. Thank you so much for that, Rob.
I appreciate the elaboration in the parentheses. I was struggling there for a moment.
lol
It is always amazing when you learn a new instrument. The instructor is always shocked at how good you are.
Fun fact
There is early evidence of these in pretty much every culture. It's 9ne of the earliest instruments along with the voice and percussion
Our ancestors were on another level just playing analog EDM in their caves
can confirm, i've found uses for the mouth harp as far as in Mongolia and Native south american tribe Mapuche down in Chile
Flute??
Aaron seems like a nice guy to be around for sure, also legitimately sick once they got in the studio
Believe it or not, there’s even classical music that features the mouth harp. Around 1765, Johann Georg Albrechtsberger, one of Beethoven’s teachers, composed no fewer than 7 concerti for mouth harp and string ensemble… they’re remarkable and quirky pieces of music that explore the melodic possibilities of the instrument more than rhythm. Some of the recordings can be found on RUclips.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this, genius❣️💯❤️🎶
Here in Romania we call it "dramba". It's been used for centuries in folk music, not so much in modern times but over the past 10 years or so it got a surprising comeback with folk-metal bands.
Gojira have a song using it.
Basically everyone when rob tries a new instrument. “Wow you’re a natural.” Rob’s such a genius person
In all fairness, you can get good at mouth harp VERY quickly.
@@newq let him have his moment of glory…
The man has been exposed to so many instruments at this point that I think he might be one of the most knowledgeable people on the planet when it comes to instrumental acoustics / harmonics. Dude must have phenomenal sort of first principles understanding
Rob “Can I palm mute it” Scallon
1 word.
Trumpet
Being Bavarian I find it extremely interesting to hear this instrument in the context of a more modern style
Yeah more Jaws he just fits in and is incredible simphatic.
Kind of rude to call someone a simp but he does low-key give that energy
that’s not what that means lol
@@mindbodysoul-musictherapy4550 he meant "Sympathetic"
This was sick AF. Always nice chilling in his mouthharp streams and with these effects its so unique.
I love the way these two learn from each other, such a natural connection between people
The way your content has evolved is amazing. I absolutely love it. Educational, entertaining, and inspiring.
Here in Italy it's called "bad thoughts eraser", it's associated with Sicily. You can hear it extensively in The Godfather III soundtrack :)
Saca pencciare -or something like that?
@@nah9585 scacciapensieri, good try!
@@giacomobezzi7829 nice, thanks!
In quebec it’s called Ruine-Babine, basically Lip Ruiner, which sounds way worse in English.
And in Sicily it's called marranzano.
3:43 why is that so good
Supposedly the mouth harp had its origins somewhere in China or Mongolia, and then was spread over the silk road to the rest of Eurasia and beyond.
It's very interesting to see how it's used in the traditional music of so many cultures across the world. It probably was the most widespread instrument after flutes and drums.
It actually pre-dates the silk road. It was probably played by the various peoples that crossed the Bering strait
Bro i had the biggest smile on my face throughout this whole video lmaoo you two are too great
Rob: plays super rare instruments
Also Rob: Mouth Harp time bois.
I gotta say Rob, it puts a smile on my face whenever you're learning something new, & the teacher is always impressed with how quickly you pick things up.
Ohhh that was insane! This is called "morsing" here in India and is used in Indian Classical Music as well. I loved the metal breakdown! Was waiting for the china to kick it 😂 it really does sound like a guitar and growls when put through distortion!
Its called Murchunga in Nepal.
Made up of metals, its an ancient musical instrument played the same way you do.
Great to see you play the instrument.
seeing jaws on here makes me so happy dude, ive been skating and playing music since i was a kid and is cool to see the two come together:)
that distortion sounded so sick
I love how you always seem to have a natural talent for EVERY new instrument you learn
except maybe the theremin
8:50 i wonder if you could combine throat singing with mouth harps, or a metal vocalist using a mouth harp.
OH BOY. This sounds like a gold mine waiting to happen
Throat singing with mouth harps is actually a super common combination in Mongolia
You should listen to chinghis khan by The Hu, they use the harp their
Olena uutai does some good....forest sounds with a jaw harp mixed in.
Hell yeah NEED THIS
its so amazing to watch the evolution of Jaws from a legendary skateboarder to a legendary mouth harpist
Sickest dubstep I've heard in a good while
So sick! The distortion mouth harp metal sounded so good!
I love how dude is just learning how to use the thing and then immediately comes up with a new strumming technique the pro was amazed by :'D He's great at picking up new instruments, one hell of a talent.
Wow. Jaws is such an awesome musician. Being one of the gnarliest skater is already enough for me.
Dude, this channel is actually awesome. Exposing obscure instruments to the masses.
Glad these are getting more attention in the US. I'm one of maybe three makers here specializing in the melodic qualities of the instrument
I hope I get to see/ experience your beautiful work in this lifetime, my friend! 👏👏👏
@@rogue_sweetie me too!
@meddlesomemusic Awww, so amazing to hear back from you!!! I LOVE your name, and I will be sure to look you up as soon as I can afford to add to my collection. 💯🥰🙌
Actually, I'm adding you to my "favorite artist sites" bookmark list right now.
@@rogue_sweetie that's so nice, thank you! 🙏
my favorite thing about watching rob learn to play new instruments is when people go “why are you learning this so fast?”
Absolutely love these videos of all the different weird, traditional and rare instruments! They have all been freaking amazing!!!!
Jaws is a GOD mann!!!
The sweetest guy ever and such positive attitude!
There's nothing he can't do absolutely AMAZEBALLS!!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘💚🖤💚🖤
GOTTA LOVE Jaws!
having played a jawharp for years, im happy to see it get recognition.
6:21
That's "Horse Races" by Olena Uutai, a jaw harp virtuoso. She's insanely talented, and I highly recommend you check her out.
Try the Tagelharpa. It's a really old Scandinavian bowed lyer. Tagel means horse hair, so its called horse hair harp because the strings are made from twisted horses hair.
The not Historically accurate bass version founds mesmerising. I think it would be perfect for a metal with instruments that are not metal series.
Oh those things sound sick, seconded
They’re not too hard to make either. I made one just last summer out of aged Osage orange, and it sounds great.
Or nyckelharpa!
thirded.
Rob is actually a genius he masters instrument easily and quickly like Mozart
This made me realise that metal and dubstep are really the same thing lol
Doom soundtrack bro! It's a great mix of metal and dubstep.
Djent is just metal dubstep
Igorrr has some awesome metal dubstep. Camel Dancefloor is my absolute favorite.
You would prolly love sudden death/voyd.
Yup. Even back in the day I would hear certain techno songs and be like "this would make an awesome metal song" lol.
that was the sickest broke a board landing ever! also i could never make a sound on these. saw people shatter teeth and gave up. mad skills man.🍻
Glad you made a vid on this. The mouth harp is one of the coolest and most interesting instruments out there.
Love to see these two having fun together. This is going to cause huge sales in mouth harps! Like Jaws said, one of the oldest instruments but not very common these days. When I read the comments here, it looks like people just don't seem to know about this instrument. I've been playing for a few months and have to conclude that there isn't much on RUclips about this instrument.
Jaw's instructions in the beginning are super clear and to the point, but I didn't noticed him mentioning to put LITTLE pressure on the harp when you're holding it between your thumb and index finger. The little 'tongue' that's triggered needs to vibrate freely. I find the constant low pressure to be the hardest part of playing the mouth harp. It buzzes quite often.
Check out Mongolian / Turkic folk music for some amazing harp techniques.
This is a relatively cheap instrument, for us Europeans: Thomann has a few great ones go for it!
Just wanted to say I just recently discovered your channel and I’ve already binged a huge chunk of videos. Also because of you I’m going to finally going to learn to play an instrument. I think it may have to be the guitar!
Go for it!
“New jazz” makes playing piano really simple, but finding a course to work through is also really important!
Make sure you have a direction and a clear goal in mind for what you want to do with it when you pick it up to practice :)
Awesome that you Show this amazing Instrument to a fairly big audience. I feel like its still really unknown. Keep it up💥
The shot of mushpit over mouth harp, made me burst into a loudest laughter in along time! Thanx!
1:47 Love this Part!
Seriously though, I've been a fan of both of you for so long, so to see you guys doing stuff together is sick as fuck haha.
This is great! I became obsessed with the jaw harp a few years ago, and now I own well over 100 harps from around the world.
This instrument crosses cultures so easily because most every culture has a mouth harp. I have met amazing people because of this!
I'm Russian and the mouth-harp (or as we call it "Варган" (Vargán) is one of the oldest and one of the most unique instruments of Northern Russia and Siberia. So cool, glad you made this video!
The one Rob plays might be Russian, it looks like the ones made by Dmitry Glazyrin. I have one of those and I love it !
Ну, к слову, у одного "Волна" Дмитрия Глазырина
I have Dimitri's "Volna." It is so indescribably beautiful and affordable! 🙌💯🎶
this dude is so genuine
4:10 is straight up daft punk
We need a whole album of this
Rob, you are the man!! Keep killing it!!

I've only very recently discovered your channel, and I'm absolutely loving it! And you're becoming one of the most interesting people I've maybe seen on youtube. I just watched your giveaway video and when you started rollerblading you blew my mind. You're going to be my youtube obsession now
Rob dude... Your videos are a feast for the senses, specially if you're high af! Thank you so much my man
Cheers from Brasil 🤏💨
Aaron honestly one of the coolest people he seems so down to earth
That sounded like proper old school Sepultura around the time of the Roots album \m/
Man this dubstep goes hard
Rob just invents rolling on anything he touches
I love that every video of rob learning an instrument ends up with him showing people the three finger pluck thing 😂
Now I really wanna see the metal harp break down song to be released xD
I love that it's name sounds like it's gonna be a beautiful and harmonic sound, when really it's the kazoo of non-wind instruments.
The Mapuche people in southern Chile have their own mouth harp. It's called pawpaweñ and it's made with a stick and a string. After european colonization they adopted this kind of metallic mouth harp, but the pawpaweñ still exist.
Mouth Harp Breakdown? Really? I needed this in my life so bad! Thank you! :D
First 5 seconds "what the fuck is jaws doing in here?!??!?!?!" Fuck I'm old.
This man is still a national treasure.
Bro the distortion is sick. What another fun episode.
He's had Jaws in a video before!
Jaws should create a song like this for a skate video. It’s perfect!
We need a Jaws’ signature jaw harp. 😂 Great video. I’d love to hear more jaw harp metal in the future, it sounded sick.
Just wanna say that i love this series on weird instruments. Keep em coming!
man this would have absolutely killed on “i’ve got a special bag of candy for you kids”
(or “trick or treat” as i think it’s called)
In italy it's called "Scacciapensieri" literally "though remover", it's a traditional instrument in Sicily
