I have one of them thar thingees....oh...you can make all kinds of sounds from it...then I be nutso enough to shove the sound through my Minibrute...just to cause more sonic mayhem....heeheehee

Little progress update for Danny - turning the guitar volume down to 5 drastically reduces the amount of noise when changing strings.

Can that be played in other keys besides E ?

You need a jbow for that.

Ok here we go...
 
You need an Lbow to even use it
You need an obow for accompaniment
You need a Tbow if you want a more sports approach
If you get good with it you will be a showbow!
Be careful not to scratch your Ibow with the Ebow.
Cbow or Vbow might be French words.
 

  Thanks for sharing Middleman....This is all so complicated, I think I'll try a sustainiac pickup instead.

I think I'll try a sustainiac pickup instead.

Unless you need to have one permanently installed (and taking the place of at least one pickup - usually there are two parts), then check out the clamp-on version that you can use with any guitar without doing any modifications.  Good for recording anyway - you'll probably want to have a permanent solution for live use.

 Thanks Craig, I had been seriously looking at those.

Thanks James, yeah I tried that also. When you use gain, you can't use much that's for sure. I still can't do any of this...this dude is out of his tree. LOL! I'm a very clean player...I can't get close to this as long as I'm using that Ebow. This is so clean, he doesn't make one squeek or noise...this is where I just can't nail it. As soon as I move that thing, I either can't find the right spot or I make so much noise it doesn't matter what I play with the left hand. Hahaha!

Too bad that's only audio and not a video so you can really watch the technique.

I know Craig and what really stinks is, you can look for things on Youtube all night...none of them do anything like the examples in that clip I posted. A few were sort of close, but they didn't nail it like whoever that maniac is playing on that. LOL! The Beatles thing was really cool too...like for example, they have a little demo of all the sounds you can get out of it. Wait, let me post it up.

That's pretty impressive from a thing that looks like a stapler. Hahaha!

Mine is so old it came with a cassette!  (And that Beatles clip was on it. ;-)

Dang... that must be something, I usually unplug my guitar when I change strings.
