Jimmy Fallon, Ariana Grande Perform Live With Nintendo Labo Instruments

Last night on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy and musical guest Ariana Grande performed a song in the same vein as Classroom Instruments but using Nintendo Labo instruments instead. This is a fascinating video to watch as it really demonstrates what can be done with the Toy Con Garage kit.

I picked up the Labo kit and while some of the “games” lean a bit more toward just being a tech demo, the Garage kit, where you can make your own creations, is where a lot of potential lies.

Here is the full instrument breakdown, list taken from the YouTube page:

• Ariana Grande – Vocals
• Jimmy Fallon – Guitar, Piano Studio
• Questlove – Robot Kit
• Black Thought – Electric Guitar Fishing Rod
• Kamal Gray – Toy-Con Piano x2 (Organ)
• James Poyser – Toy-Con Piano x2
• Captain Kirk – Acoustic Guitar
• Mark Kelley – Bass Guitar
• Stro – Toy-Con Garage Drum Machine

They cut out any part that had the triangle that Ariana was holding. Maybe there was an audio issue. But regardless, it’s a pretty fantastic piece. I mean they tuned Black Thought’s fishing reel into an electric guitar!

And for a brief sneak peak on how it all came together, check out the teaser video below.
