This raises a good point though, why don't we have a stringed instrument that you blow into at a specific angle to rattle the strings? Then you use keys of sorts to lightly choke the string/strings at certain spots for other sounds... Like a stringed flute if you will, it could work if the string was loose enough to wobble from basic blowing. 😝

Here in Chile, in a city called La Ligua, we have a unique instrument called "El Viento," which means "The Wind." It's a wind instrument made from steel sheets and wires that produces calm and soft tones when the wind blows through it (though sometimes it can be a little eerie). It was built in 1986 on the top of a hydroelectric plant, and it's a giant structure with a beautiful view of the valley.

Just keep the angle of the guitar on your back more vertical and tighten the strap in place with the normally positioned guitar strap over the top.

When they filmed the wind across the sand and basically caught the waves that gave me goosebumps. Truly awesome !

[@RichieDIVXX]

The sound of the wind blowing the sand on to the mic and guitars added an extra cool element 8:00

[@willowrightythen]

I love these guy's vibes. Please protect them at all costs.

[@leui.doesnotexist]

i remember watching this a little over a year ago, the way you and jaden play together with the wind joining in sounds so beautiful

[@tylenoljunkie3231]

What a beautiful soothing noise. Jaden's a great guitarist. You guys did some really beautiful stuff here, love it. Also the sand makes my brain tingle I really like it.

[@brody2590]

What a beautiful sound

[@vdkylo7251]

i think i speak for us all when i say we need a full album of improvised wind songs with sand omg im in heaven

[@RAEVLOS]

100%

[@RAEVLOS]

Im usually not very fond of ambient music etc, but this hit me deep. Gave me same vibes as the minecraft soundtrack

[@omararroyo4059]

I remember standing atop a hill with my guitar to my side and hearing such a soothing sound. Took me a bit to figure out it was the wind blowing my strings just right. Loved to hear the exact sound I heard that day!

[@milesmena4994]

That kid is so Incredibly open. I feel like every word he speaks carries his soul.

[@jethinha3994]

the vibe in this video, the joy in your faces, the sight of happiness in the face of a dude that played with a artist he really likes. I hope that one day, I can play with my idols and get this feeling

[@darrylroederer2680]

There's a place in West Virginia called dolly sods. It's a rocky outcrop on top of a mountain that looks down on a beautiful Valley, and constant predictable steady winds sweep over the top of the mountain. Not only for the constant and predictable wind, but also for the beautiful setting, I think this type of music would be Stellar if performed in that location.

[@swainsongable]

I think you're onto something, my friend - an album (do we still make these daze?) with the tracks titled after the various locations they were field recorded, which would of course include the ambient sounds like sand, or bird song at Dolly Sods, or waves from an onshore breeze in Hawaii...

[@chefdeathbatgaming61669]

A full song of this would be so peaceful. No lie i cried just feeling the emotions flowing through the guitar

[@j.kallai4348]

Try low roar

[@Jake-wi1rw]

Jayden’s got two songs out now, and they’re pretty great!

[@Pr1ZM0]

This is incredible. The ringing notes and the sand blasting sound. Ambience

[@leexcite2903]

You two, and the wind make an absolutely beautiful experience. Thank you

[@sarniaguitarguy9405]

Wow! 100% natural shimmer/feedback effect! Really compliments the harmonics!

[@Johnmtankard]

Jaden's melody making is really nice.

[@dsyfderzweite]

In 2019 I was at the beach on a windy day and I had my guitar with me. When I started hearing sounds it took me a while to realize they came from the guitar. Then I started playing with it. It was such a cool moment and I'm so glad that more people are doing this. Thanks Rob for sharing this with everyone :)

[@CouchEconomyTX]

This video and the music in it are beautiful There's something so peaceful about making music with nature

[@jackh1749]

I discovered this with my fiddle about 20 years ago while I was high on mushrooms with a group of good pals in the Alvord desert in Oregon. I’ll never forget the magic of that moment. Good on you for taking it next level!

[@GodJesusPray444]

This is easily one of the best videos on the internet at the moment.

[@IssamUAhmed]

Rob I'm just starting out on the video but just want to say it's so good and wholesome of you to give credit where it's due for the discovery and to lift up musicians with smaller followings.

[@z_Moose]

I’m so stoked you were able to capture the approaching gust in the sand on camera. Man, what a beautiful episode Rob!

[@Bizzozeron]

my heart dropped when you both started playing at around 3:30, I can't believe how well it works. What a happy coincidence, a cosmic coincidence like something we forgot.

[@junecowboy]

THIS IS SO CRAZY! I busk at this windy tunnel in dana point and i’ve noticed this phenomenon and thought it was so cool. Im so happy to see someone actually take this idea and run with it

[@CallumCotterill]

I love how enthusiastic about his music he is. And robs acompanyment is just perfect

[@x23rizky]

Love how the sand gives an audible character to the wind, and the seagulls in the background adds to its environmental personality. Would love to hear what this would sound like above a forest of trees or the sea. Guess I'll just have to go look into more of Jaden's stuff! 😃

[@TheWindNomad]

I still have sand in my guitar from that day

[@wesandfiking6172]

I've always appreciated the crazy, beautiful world of Rob, ever since I went looking on KZbin (purely for shits and giggles) and found his banjo covers of Slayer songs. The more I searched, the more of this kind of stuff I felt privileged to find.

[@averysliceprivate]

There's something so beautiful and genuine about this video. The synergy between Rob and Jaden feels like a father and son bonding moment. The swells and drones from the wind sounds like nature singing. Even the camerawork, the clouds, the city in the background, the sand brushing against Rob and Jaden, it's all so beautiful. What a phenomenal video
