I’ve been an Ebow user for quite some time. I’ve been through a few. Even had one of the old school originals with the automatic shut-off feature. Ahhh…
I put the device down for a while, but have been spending more time with it in recent months, looking to improve my ebowing skills. Many players I have heard don’t use it for very complex melodies because it is cumbersome to switch strings, but with a little practice it can be done. I hope to post more examples in the future as I work on and hopefully improve on my string switching capabilities.
This piece is a simple guitar loop with delay, followed by a layer of Ebow.
