If you make one of these guitars please post a video and send it to me so I can feature it in the video response playlist on my channel page! Video links can be sent to nighthawkvideoresponse@gmail.com
the heat bend in the pipe can also be done if you know about how far you will need to bend the pipe. using a camp fire, camp stove, or even the house stove, can be held above a toaster even. you could take this project further and flatten it using the heat method and then pressing between two boards. might make it easier to play with a flatter surface to press down onto.
Hi, i have wanted to tell you that i really enjoy your educational videos. You also seem to be a nice humble dude. I will try to buld one. Thank you for your positive videos and teaching useful ideas. -Sean
I am honestly amazed by the simplicity and ease of the idea and the way you convey it, I've been playing the guitar for over 14 years now and I never considered how easy it would be to build such a version myself. I can't say it enough, your calm attitude and way of explaining things make even the simplest things interesting and appealing, as well as shining a new light and perspective onto them. Great work, I will support your patreon once I can afford it again!
This is amazing. We should have kids make these in school when they don't have a good budget for music class. They would learn to be resourceful, and can at least make music with what they have.
Well I'm here figuring out how I'm gonna get 20 primary kids to make diy guitars for my art club next week! Wish me luck. Gonna be a variation on this one here..
@@GofuKyersen 2 different knots but same function. Prussik is also good to add a toggle (twig or something) to hang a tarp to keep it stretched out across your ridgeline in conjunction with rope thats staked to the ground. Love it.
@lonestar22759 you just really need something sturdy since you're using the bottle to make the sound. The neck of the instrument shouldn't really matter too much.
I can't belive, how usefull the second knot is! So many uses for it! I tied a bunch of wooden bars together, with only one sling, and it holds stronger then nylon ties. Thank yo so much, for sharing these informations in such a clear way!
The parrot antics was so funny! Your tolerance to it was outstanding. Love the stringed instruments but they should have theirs own name as “guitar” doesn’t seem to fit. ❤️❤️
The Bob Ross of boy scout, with enough episodes and a old school looks million will watch you on twitch or TH-cam to chill and sleep keep up the good work.
This is really cool. I think this is a perfect use for the wood and aluminium crutches I pick up on the side of the road. The long pieces that make up the structure have a nice bend to them that will lend itself well to positionning the string closer to it. Now, to find a cool body to recycle...
@@Faunarr There is a traditional ole time folk song called Dreadful Wind and Rain ... popularized by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman ... Anyways it's about a girl who was murdered by her sister and drown in a creek until a Miller finds her body and uses it to make a violin .... the most catch upbeat tune about a morbid topic ... ever ahhaah. Made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones .. oh the wind and rain and he made the fiddle strings of her long yellow hair oh the wind and rain
Attempted it and it worked flawlessly!! I have coordination disorder and it's really hard for me to tie any knot whatsoever, but your tutorial is really clear on everything!!
Excuse me but I am now busy with becoming a blues post apocalyptic world superstar where people underestimated plastic production and wood or iron is no longer accessible.
I had birds for many years. Obviously yours is right at home where ever you are. This is the best kind...and of course that means they are right in the middle of everything too.
Bro this is *exactly* what I need. I was working with rubber bands, but they broke fairly quickly. Plus as a bonus you showed some knots which can be very very useful for many applications. This is best video I've seen for a long time.
Wow, this is actually pretty cool. It reminds me of when I was younger and couldn't afford any instruments, so I always tried making my own. I made a guitar-ish instrument with a bamboo neck and a large water jug as the resonator. The 2 strings were nylon fishing line tied to a screw for tuning. Needless to say, it sucked, but I've always had a thing for building extremely rough and simple instruments, so I'll definitely try this out. Great work.
Honestly probably not. I mean you could but the violin has completely different strings and are much much more taught. If you were to make this a bit more complicated and make tension knobs it would probably work better. However I doubt this is rigid enough to really work like a violin. Plucking would work much better.
Band: "So, what you play?" Me: "The 20 oz Uke." Edit: All joking aside, this is a great video, and the guitar sounds great for what its components are.
Cool project to play with a kid and teach it knots and stuff. People like you invented bluegrass banjo. Cool. It reminds me more those African Gabon Iboga harps
I made a guitar it was hard because I only had little string, so I put a nail at the end of the pipe then tided the string. Thanks for the amazing idea!!❤❤
I spent over 800 bucks building a custom guitar out of kit and this guy makes one out of two liter bottle and some string!! Nice!! Good playing as well.
Man I used to watch your shit years and years ago when you first got started. Man you were entertaining then but nowadays you have really found your stride. Big ups man your channel has really become something great.
Thanks for specifying the type of string and diameter pipe in the description. One question though - nylon or jute? I’m going to buy both but that’d be a good detail to add.
This is the first video I saw on your channel and it helped a lot... I always wanted to make a instrument from my own. I tried all kinds of methods in craft but I failed by shortage of complex materials or I saw fake videos. I made this in first try and it really works . Thanks a lot.
Hey, love your videos as always. I have a comment about your tauntline hitch, which I think is a fairly common mistake I used to make all the time in boy scouts. My scoutmaster taught me that the three loops should all go in the same direction, but it looks like in the video you are reversing the direction of the last loop. I actually have no idea if this has any impact on the strength/performance of the knot, so sorry if this comment is just being nitpicky
the bottle guitar is cool now teach moses the parrot how to play it... THAT would be beyond epic . and please tell youve dressed up as a pirate with moses for halloween. cause you could totally pull that off. thank you for another great video.
I have to make an instrument out of recycled materials for a final project in my Acoustics class. This is fantastic inspiration! Thank you for all your work! :D
I'm showing this video to my friend who teaches elementary school. Can't wait to see him send home 30 youngsters with things that make noise. Maybe a few will find a love of music
Love the concept! I once built a 2 String Guitar with a stick, a watering can and an acoustic pick-up in a similar way :) Works great with a bottleneck 🤘🏻
If you make one of these guitars please post a video and send it to me so I can feature it in the video response playlist on my channel page! Video links can be sent to nighthawkvideoresponse@gmail.com
I'm no musician, I just appreciate your gentleness towards the bird... Speaks volumes, stay strong, cheers
You should try to make a DIY bagpipes.
the heat bend in the pipe can also be done if you know about how far you will need to bend the pipe. using a camp fire, camp stove, or even the house stove, can be held above a toaster even. you could take this project further and flatten it using the heat method and then pressing between two boards. might make it easier to play with a flatter surface to press down onto.

The small version kinda sounds like a shamisen...
Dude just picked his bird off his arm like it's a can of soda lmao
Caught me off guard 😂
It broke my mind momentarily.
birds will only let you grab them like that if they completely trust you.
Your comment caught me off guard 😂
That’s the only way to handle birds, they do what they want when they want no matter what 😅
I thought he was going to count the bird as one of the materials.
One minute in and my thought is "alright, you've made a weird instrument, now you gotta send it to Rob Scallon so he can make metal with it"
YES!!! DO IT, WE ALL NEED THIS!!!
@@zam0th YES ABSOLUTLLY !!!
You can djent with this guitar
This has to be done
I definitely want to see rob scallon play this

Also check out Edward Philips, he does more historial versions. They are all really cool! Great at home projects for students stuck at home nowadays!
It's incredible how this parrot has trained his human to make so many musical instruments!

Is a bird required?
Absolutely. I tried without and was left with severe injuries. BE WARNED
If you play it well enough, you may even pick one up ;)
Instructions unclear does anyone know how I remove a pigeon from my nose

No but it helps?

True.
The knot to tune it is just pure genius
Prussic knot to climbers
@@GofuKyersen 2 different knots but same function. Prussik is also good to add a toggle (twig or something) to hang a tarp to keep it stretched out across your ridgeline in conjunction with rope thats staked to the ground. Love it.
U should have said :
" I will show you how to make this single string guitar from bottle,pvc pipe,string and most important A Parrot"
When he took the parrot I wanted him to say that xD
I assume the parrot is an optional accessory. Not require but definitely makes you look cooler.
Reminiscent of the cat bagpipes famously unveiled by the Australian Folk musician Flog Face Hairtooth

I'm glad my years in boy scouts have taught my those knots so now I will have a easier time building this
I thought this would be a great boy scout project to learn these knots.
NightHawkInLight I’m teaching a intro class this summer for newly joined scouts this will make a good project.
@@mythowrose2742 have fun teaching, they'll love making a fort or rope and wood only treehouse. One pioneer counselor to another. 😉
@@StrawberryKitten How do you know? Also... maybe it was meant as a joke...
This was the first vid of a diy i can do for reals. Thanks now i have a guitar!!
That's awesome!
@lonestar22759 you just really need something sturdy since you're using the bottle to make the sound. The neck of the instrument shouldn't really matter too much.
Friend: "So what's your favorite instrument?"
Me: A water bottle
Friend: "Seriously, what is it?
Me: A water bottle
Did I stutter?
does mayonnaise is also an instrument?
You again
I can't belive, how usefull the second knot is! So many uses for it!
I tied a bunch of wooden bars together, with only one sling, and it holds stronger then nylon ties.
Thank yo so much, for sharing these informations in such a clear way!
The taut line is my favorite also! You can do almost anything with a taut line and a bowline
The parrot antics was so funny! Your tolerance to it was outstanding. Love the stringed instruments but they should have theirs own name as “guitar” doesn’t seem to fit. ❤️❤️
Maybe a 'Gitle' or 'Botar'?
They do have a name. It's called a "Diddley bow".

Now, to find a cool body to recycle...
Picked up or pick up? You make it sound like a regular occurence.
The finding a cool body comment is also somewhat suspect
take the last part out of context
@@Porkey_Minch maybe he murders lone cripples and uses their crutches to make instruments?

I had birds for many years. Obviously yours is right at home where ever you are. This is the best kind...and of course that means they are right in the middle of everything too.
I wonder if you could use a string made from another bottle (using a bottle cutter tool)?))

Here's one I need, "How to make your parrot listen to you."
I'd like in on that secret myself.
adorei esse instrumento ❤😊
XDXDXD Lost it at the way you just grabbed the bird at the start there, din't even look, just completely casual!
I have made several Diddly Bows, one string guitars, but I do use guitar machine heads for tuning. Can’t wait to try this one
That caique doing what caiques do best! Hopefully substituting a sun conure won't affect the quality of my own guitar.
Superb! The best DIY guitar ever 👍👍😀😀😀😀😀👌👌👌👌

Make one of those and it will provide minutes of enjoyment.
Oh come now, tens of minutes at least
Would it be possible to use a violin bow on such guitar?
Yes, probably
That could be a lot of fun too, I love this project
Honestly probably not.

Could sound like one of this mongolian horse head violins
I love his pet bird
Neat project. And as always, birb!
This is amazing! This would be so fun for the Cub Scouts... knots, music, recycling! Thanks for sharing this!

I've seen that as an alternate version. I'll have to try it and see if I like it better. It might be a little more secure that way.
Love the simplicity of the instrument, and the way your bird just crawls all over you.
HINT: If the rope is too slippery, make an extra loop forbthe tautline hitch.
Single string BASS. Slap like now.
