Saw (an instrument that can cut you in half)

Cut down a tree or play a song!

Natalia "The Saw Lady" Paruz

My guitar courses are available within the Guitareo membership :)
Also, my beginner course, GuitarQuest, is still available on its own too

The channel is supported in part by Sweetwater’s affiliate program. Thanks for that!

The saw is eerily vocal, it almost sounds like a wailing sound. Its so pretty and haunting.

[dapz]

the whole idea of common objects being used as instruments has always fascinated me. I remember the moment I found out that my computer CPU cooler could play all the notes from A5 to D7 by twanging the fins, I spent hours every day trying to play songs on it which completely destroyed my fingernails

[justins]

Every instrument in the music world today was invented because of someone who fiddled with a thing for a few minutes longer than anyone else

[ceebee]

Natalia's guitar playing really sells the idea of a wild western feeling. Just a few people hanging out by the campfire, bored, until someone comes out with a guitar and a saw.

*pulls out a drill* "you know, I'm something of a musical carpenter myself"

[ANNIHILISTIC]

I like how she's a virtuoso on such an unusual and uncommon instrument but an ordinary acoustic guitar is alien to her :D

[balalaikabeginner]

I'm really impressed by how precisely she can control the pitch of the saw!

[_keigen_]

i love that it only resonates when creating the "S" curve and essentially has the timbre of a sine wave

[GoddamnAxl]

I don't know why this lady just makes me smile. she's really got a special charisma

[jcortese]

As a pianist, it gies me great joy to see an instrument that would be even harder to get on a plane.

Seriously though, this is one of the coolest interviews you've ever done. She is AMAZING, and that sounds so cool -- almost theremin-like.

[StardogTheRed]

This is the cutting-edge musical technology I've been wanting

Glad to see someone doing this properly. I love weirding people out on site when they ask to borrow a saw and I ask them what key they want it in before I stat "tuning" it with the handle of a mallet. Terrible for the saw, but great for laughs.

[ZRogers]

When Rob plays, it sounds like a drunk theremin.

When she plays, it’s art.

[Goldnfoxx]

It's not just loud, it sustains WAY longer than I'd expect.

[Christian-riuf]

I love how Saw Lady is just as bewildered by the concept of a guitar.

[Eiraqucam]

There’s a lot of joy in this video. I love how they both enjoy playing each other’s instruments and are both natural musicians

[TheDarkMessiah]

Things Rob will try to do on everything instrument he encounters:
1° Tapping
2° Slapping

[ryanhatch]

She looks like she had an awesome time. Love seeing these musicians warm up to Rob after they see that he really wants to learn more about something they love.

[altpropaganda]

Its sounds like an old record of a woman singing, its trippy… the closest to human voice from an instrument i’ve heard.

[LucasGabrieh]

It's just so satisfying to watch two people REALLY passionate about music in a room together
