[TheKanshi]

[tkdrummer95]

I'm not real familiar with ebows... but I'm very impressed with the sounds here. Nice playing!

[Keepmovin2000]

[jman99110]

EBOWS SUCK!!!

[TheJoeyTaylor]

@jman99110 YOU suck.

[AZEAQ]

great sounds, so thanks for the advices : i'll try it on my accoustic bass - just ordered one, can't wait much longer!

[KyrionMyrthar]

That is fantastic.

[moneyquickeasy]

Thanks man. You rock.

[wood6735]

Ahhhh I have that guitar! I love it, it's a great guitar<3

[caralhosvosfodam]

Stupid question:

that works if the guitar is not amplified? Just with pure acoustic.

[TheChocorooms]

@caralhosvosfodam It works without amplification or a pickup

[caralhosvosfodam]

@TheChocorooms Do you have any vid samples of that?

[TheChocorooms]

[suzsnooze]

I'm thinking about getting one since I saw Sungha Jung use it xD but how much is one? =|

And how can you tell the difference of your guitar strings if their steel strings or not? Awesome vid btw, didn't expect sucha sound.

[kenwagman]

@suzsnooze this one I paid a little over $100. If your acoustic is a classical (nylon) this will not work at all.

[lo0nyto0ny]

@suzsnooze 133$

[christrealized]

wonderful! Sounds excellent! great post and great playing!

[NinevehMetalChannel]

Sounds great man. I just picked up an Ebow for Metal stuff, but gave it a shot on my roommates Taylor. I was impressed. Sounded excellent.

[nwilliamsx]

Wow, I didn't expect such a cool sound

[WhiteLakeDan]

Something I don't get here. Isn't the ebow supposed to be used very near the pick up? I don't see one anywhere near the ebow.

Also, does anyone know if the ebow works (to its full extent) with the Taylor Expression sytem?

[kenwagman]

That's what makes it a little tricky with an acoustic guitar, instead of using the pickup magnet with the ebow to drive the string, you have to drive the string with a combination of a very subtle hammer on and the ebow

[WhiteLakeDan]

This sounds awesome. Very haunting sound. Say, what more can the ebow PLUS do?

[0713mas]

I attempted this a while back on my acoustic, I could only get a few of the sound the demonstrator gets here. (he is pretty good). I was disappointed and ultimately traded it back and got an Ernie Ball mono volume pedal!!

Add some echo and delay sounds like a pretty sick bowed instrument. I prefer it over the sound to that of the E-bow.

[kenwagman]

Yes, I agree the sounds of volume swells are pretty cool. I do like the harmonic variances that you get with an ebow. They are really a few different tools!

[laurensmith700]

i heard u have to have steel strings, is that true?

[kenwagman]

Yes, you have to use steel strings.
