Are you wondering how to play Jaw harp dubstep, or even just jaw harp or Jew's harp? its so simple. maybe this video will give you some ideas.

Jew’s harp, also called jaw’s harp, juice harp, or guimbard, musical instrument consisting of a thin wood or metal tongue fixed at one end to the base of a two-pronged frame. The player holds the frame to his mouth, which forms a resonance cavity, and activates the instrument’s tongue by either plucking it with the fingers or jerking a string attached to the end of the instrument. The notes produced are limited to the fourth through tenth tones of the harmonic series (in relative pitch, c–e–g–b♭ [approximately]–c′–d′–e′). The tongue produces only one pitch; altering the shape of the mouth cavity isolates the individual harmonics that are components of the tongue’s sound. In 18th-century Europe virtuoso players used instruments with two or more tongues of different pitch, thus allowing a complete musical scale.

The way he played that one note on the bass was stupendous, incredible, awe-inspiring. I'm slack jawed with amazement

[Bugser]

I started dying of laughter when i saw him just holding the double bass

[Aaxoz]

the comically large bass to contrast the tiny harp is perfect

I keep coming back to this video time and time again. Fantastic co ordination, talent, and creativity. Absolutely love it and have been listening to it on loop for over an hour haha.

Some say he’s still play that bass note to this day.

That was fantastic! Expected to see a banjo come out suddenly or a fiddle. Great music guys, so enjoyable. The bass musician strumming and drumming was instinctive and added so much to the sound. The drummer should have added some improvisation too.

Gabriel was on fire with that bass, it made the whole song ! Probably best jaw harping I've heard yet !!!

[atlantic_love]

Good stuff! Brought a 😊 to my face on an otherwise crappy day at work.

My father taught me how to use a jaw harp under similar circumstances. Thank you for the nostalgic trip :)

My grandpa was amazing on mouth harp, RIP, this brings back great memories

[drewbaxter]

For some reason the way he's holding that upright bass makes me angry lol
