@locotio The one I am using. It's called the "Ebow Plus" or sometimes "Plus Ebow". Just search "ebow plus". It may be the only one in production. It's the one put out by the inventor of the ebow. They go for around 90.00 Great fun!
@PureZOOKS Right - it works on the B and high E strings. Somehow it generates an electromagnetic field that vibrates them. It just works a lot better on an electric.
@Chadfish it works by outputting a frequency that vibrates the string, then that vibrating string affects an input coil which drives then gets generates a current that gets spit back out as the output frequency which started the string vibrating in the first place. It's called infinite sustain technology or something along those lines.
@TheBobohj It is an electric acoustic, but that has nothing to do with why the ebow works on an acoustic. My guitar was not plugged in, and even if it was it has a piezo pickup in the bridge, not a magnetic pickup by the neck. An ebow will work on a totally acoustic guitar - mostly only on unwound, steel strings. It sort of worked on my wound G string.
@MasterOfRofl It works somewhat on the non-wound steel strings of an acoustic, as you can see. But it's designed for an electric. You use the neck pickup, humbucker preferably, with the volume & tone turned down to 2 or 3.
@aroy137 You don't need a pickup when using an ebow on acoustic guitar. I wasn't in this video. It works on the non-wound strings - sort of. With an electric guitar it's best to have humbucker pickups, and to use the neck pickup, with the tone and volume turned down to 2 or 3.
When I read what an ebow actually does to the pickup I was bummed because I didn't think it would work on an acoustic, but clearly it does without anykind of pickup. I'm definitely getting one now.
i'm interested in using an ebow for acoustic, but am i hearing feedback through an amp or is your acoustic actually being played clean and recorded through a microphone? i don't play with an acoustic amp so i can't tell if it'll work for me
@ThreeLeggedMongoose Hi. As you can see there is no cable plugged into the guitar. That's purely acoustic, and the audio is picked up by the mic you see on the camera. Yes I let it ring a little much, and it caused a rattle here and there. It works mostly on the B string. It's designed for electric guitars, but works a little on acoustic as you can see. I have 2 other ebow vids on electric that show the proper use of the thing...
@zachaument I'm not sure if your strings would work. Probably if they are like the nanoweb stuff. I use Martin Acoustic SP Phosphor Bronze Light. An ebow is really for electric guitars. It only works well on a couple of strings on acoustic. Check my other 2 ebow vids to see it in use as it's intended.
Have you ever heard the intro of take it back by pink floyd? This kind of reminded me of it (considering that was the reason that I searched "E-bow acoustic" !)
@smelliot95 I have heard that! I did not know about it though when I came up with this piece. I think the similarity is in the tone of an acoustic being ebowed.
Nice skills! Up until today I had only seen the brief e-bow review video on our channel, but after watching videos like this, I can really appreciate much more how the e-bow can be used. Keep up the good work, that was really cool!
@absolutemusicuk Thanks1 Check out the other 2 ebow videos on my channel. They are used in a more traditional way, but I was going off. There are trippy video effects too...
@choumoumoumou I hear ya, but actually it was the ebow hitting the string when I pressed down too hard. My Taylor plays pretty nice when I'm not using strange toys on her!
@dllawson Hi. I'm not sure what you're referring to. At the end I say "Thank You" and at the end of the beginning I say, "I've got trucks going in the background". Some people think I said "drugs" though. Is that what you mean?
So what do your dates think when they see that video camera on a tripod in your bedroom? Haha, just kidding, I'm sure you usually keep it hidden in the closet behind the one-way mirror. Cool playing by the way.
very cool its always fun messing with an acoustic guitar with the ebow. I've made a few songs with the ebow you can check em out on my channel if you like
@ojnezer If you check out my Ebow playlist you'll find more exciting performances using the ebow as it's intended - with an electric guitar. The acoustic thing was just something I invented and was having a little fun with as I healed from major surgery. Sorry to bore you.
@Sylvanranger I know - what a douche! Glad you dug the tune. I have a higher quality version, as well as 2 more awesome ebow vids in a playlist on my channel. Check 'em out!
@Chadfish some dude in the list was wondering where to get one....so I was being a smartass...cool use of it, by the way!! kudos!! I have yet to figure out how to make a song with my ebow...but it makes some cool background noises fo sho!!!
@synesthesia67 You basically have to make a backing track first, or a whole song, and just use ebow as a solo instrument. I did a drum track first (check my other 2 ebow vids under 'playlists') then ebow, then bass.
@synesthesia67 Well, a good way of how to use it in a song, is With or without you by U2, if I remeber it right, the melodies heard in the backgorund is played with an E-bow
@Elazam no, that was a special "infinite guitar" created by micheal brook. only 2 were made, and it has a pickup that feeds back and creates an infinite sustain
@jonahkemp Oh yeah! I remember that. I want the new Moog guitar that has a more advanced version of that. Search "Moog Guitar" on youtube and you'll hear the amazing sounds a player can create with it.
No, what Michael was using was a pickup more like a Fernandez sustainer. Michael supposedly invented the pickup but didn't patent it, for some reason, and l'm sure that devastated him.
Good stuff here, Chad. I like doing this with my Taylor in drop Db tuning so u can drone more strings instead of just the E.
Check out the first track that plays on my site. Its a Steinway with an E-bow on a PRS CE24.
This is magnificient. I should sit around some trees while listening to this. I quiet like the wound strings with the Ebow from the sounds of this, sounds a bit sitar ish.
I 'm really thinking of getting these, but: How hard is it to find one? Hopefully its so rare as I think it is. I'm from Australia, but so far I've had luck finding a few good sites to order.
I tried to make a playlist, but it isn't showing up. It's not hard to fund one here. I use Musician's Friend. Get the "Plus Ebow" or "Ebow Plus" - however theysay it. The "plus" is a 2nd setting for more cool sounds. Cheers!
@Nick56708 brother I'm from aus too. get them from ebay if you can, or you can order them in through most commercial music stores. ebay's cheaper, but the postage may take a while.
They are really made for electric guitars. If you already play guitar well, ebow is no problem. You use the neck pickup, turn the vol and tone down to about 30% and away you go. So worth it! Get one.
Yeah, I saw your other video that you sent me and it blew me away. And I've also seen a video of Phil Keaggy using one and that was amazing too (you gotta see it if you haven't already). But I'm definatly going to have to get myself one of these soon!
Thanks man! To celebrate 100,000 views on this vid, I am at this moment uploading a high-rez version of the video. It looks and sounds much better. Check back in an hour. And go buy an ebow!
No. All sound was picked up by the mic you can see on the camera. I had headphones going to the mixer under the camera, so I could hear if I was getting good audio. The ebow works mostly on the steel strings, not the wound. The sweet spot is the B string.
With acoustic guitars you just need steel strings. The wound strings don't work well this way, but flat wounds may just work better. It's mostly a B string thing on acustic. If the G wasn't wound it would work better. I hit the G string once or twice in this vid and it took longer to fade up and start resonating. On electric guitar all the strings work fine with round-wound.
@Chadfish Ok that makes more sense. How do you like the E bow? Is it as versitile as they look or do you end up getting limited by the sounds they make?
the only thing i disliked is that your getting a buzzing sound on the guitar. is it just low action, and when ever you hit frets it just happens, or does it have something to do with the ebow itself?
Yes the ebow was causing the buzzing and odd notes. The guitar, when played normally, works perfectly. I hadn't developed any "acoustic ebow" style yet, as this was about 5 minutes after I discovered you could use an ebow on acoustic.
i never know about this think the Ebow is now for me like a piece of the futuree man
i never listn about that think
u play very very goood dude, it makes a perfect way to experiment new sunds its the 5 o clock in my country and i have between 3 hours learning of this think man im excitad i will have one 4 my bday
As you can see it doesn't. All the ebow is doing is vibrating the string, and the sound comes out of the guitar body. Maybe if my guitar was plugged into an amp, and had no sound hole cover... But what you are hearing is totally acoustic, being picked up by that mic on the camera.
I have a couple of buggered discs and am trying to avoid surgery.The posture involved in playing the guitar really aggrivates my condition. What about you. Any advice?
It depends where the discs are. Discs don't heal. Once they are protruded that's it. You can strengthen the muscles around them to support them. You can lose weight if that is putting pressure on them. The surgery turned my life around, though I still have protruded low back discs that can't be operated on for some reason. But my neck was the main thing, and now that's not a prob. You must do research and find a good doc who wants to avoid putting pins & screws in you. Mine used my hip bone.
NIce work sir. Has anyone tried to mount this unit inside the guitar so you could simply switch it on via a foot pedal, thus leaving your right hand free?
i don't think it would give you as much freedom though, because you can do a lot of cool things like volume swells if you're just holding it and adjusting the position, violin bowing sounds and such.
Yes the Moog guitar is cool, but fairly specialized in what it can do. It's way too expensive for something that's kind of gimmicky, and wouldn't be used too often. Even so, I would love one, but I've for too much other stuff to get.

@PureZOOKS Right - it works on the B and high E strings. Somehow it generates an electromagnetic field that vibrates them. It just works a lot better on an electric.

@Chadfish it's just an amplifier that is deliberately in a feedback loop... like when you go too close to speakers with a microphone...

You sir, are awesome.

Thank you! Make sure you get the "Ebow Plus" rather than just the "Ebow". The plus has 2 settings for more versatility.

wouldn't an ebow on an acoustic create insane feedback though?
laudypapa1 2 years ago
As you can see it doesn't. All the ebow is doing is vibrating the string, and the sound comes out of the guitar body. Maybe if my guitar was plugged into an amp, and had no sound hole cover... But what you are hearing is totally acoustic, being picked up by that mic on the camera.

I have a couple of buggered discs and am trying to avoid surgery.The posture involved in playing the guitar really aggrivates my condition. What about you. Any advice?
slyme1711 2 years ago
It depends where the discs are. Discs don't heal. Once they are protruded that's it. You can strengthen the muscles around them to support them. You can lose weight if that is putting pressure on them. The surgery turned my life around, though I still have protruded low back discs that can't be operated on for some reason. But my neck was the main thing, and now that's not a prob. You must do research and find a good doc who wants to avoid putting pins & screws in you. Mine used my hip bone.

They are very fun. It's like having a whole new instrument.

NIce work sir. Has anyone tried to mount this unit inside the guitar so you could simply switch it on via a foot pedal, thus leaving your right hand free?
slowhand221 2 years ago
There are certain electrics with an ebow built in. There's the "The Floyd Rose Sustainer guitar" and the "Fernandes Sustainer" that have it.
Chadfish 2 years ago
Check out the new Moog guitar......it has a sustain function with some cool little add ons.
toofargone06 2 years ago
Oh I've seen it. Of course I want one, but they are a little out of my range.
Chadfish 2 years ago
i don't think it would give you as much freedom though, because you can do a lot of cool things like volume swells if you're just holding it and adjusting the position, violin bowing sounds and such.
suyangsong 2 years ago
Yes the Moog guitar is cool, but fairly specialized in what it can do. It's way too expensive for something that's kind of gimmicky, and wouldn't be used too often. Even so, I would love one, but I've for too much other stuff to get.
