This is just a try on Zepp's Dazed and confused on the guitar part which is played by Jimi Page with a violin bow

  • sry bro. Its just kinda.. boring. Sounds like feedback, sorta like the bow wasn't really needed. Might have been cooler if quicker or if it was layered into something else.

  • No problem, but may be you should say the same thing to Jimmy Page.

  • Is That a gibson your using? i have an epiphone Limited Edition SG with a trem and it sounds good

  • No, it is a very cheap guitar - SX or Shelter - I am not very sure about correct brand name - but it is very similar to the original Gibson Les Paul

  • does that like totally destroy the violin bow? cuz im worried if i try it it will tear the thing up

  • It depends on the way you play off course. But in general you will loose some of the wires and that is all. But anyway, a violin bow is something very cheap. Around US$ 20.00.

  • Turkeyjerky214 has a very good point. It is nearly impossible to use a bow on a "flat, Les Paul" neck, and quite a bit easier on a "radiused, Strat" neck. Look at cellos, violins and the like; they all have VERY VERY radiused necks, so that you can strike a single string without dragging the bow across other strings.

    I have a simple rule for bowing; play chords on Les Pauls and play solos (or chords) on a Strat. Or get mind-numbingly good at muting sets of strings on the Les Paul.

  • the les paul jimmy uses when he plays this has a bowed bridge. that's why it so hard to get it to sound right on a regular guitar

  • rosin**** hah..

  • dude get some rasin, it stops the bow from slipping

  • i cant get my violin bow to screech on the guitar all it does is slide and make no sound what do i got to do plz tell me!!!!plz!

  • great tone dude!!! damn nice sound to it!!

    it's full bodied, and i love how tight it sounds.

  • If that's an EPI than I have that exact same guitar. I am in the middle of trying to learn that very same solo but can't seem to get the bow to sound right as I slide down or up or even get any sound for that matter. Would you happen to have any tips?
