It's a great equation

Post by: ZeroKirbyX on December 25, 2005, 08:00:34 PM: No, you forgot the key variable in that equation: Jimmy Paige + bow + guitar= Kashmir

Without that key mark, the equation falls apart.

Jimmy page+bow+guitar=Really freaking awesome songs

there are zep cover bands that use a bow and thats the equation i put

doesnt matter now, i figured it out its so awesome now

Loosen it after every use to prevent permanetly warping the bow.

The Rosin leaves a sticky dust like substance on the bow creating friction, and from this friction, the sound is born. It will be messy, I've never tried it on electric guitar strings. Prepare to replace your strings.

If you want something more high tech, then go for the Ebow, I have one myself, it sounds great. What that does is instead of using the bow, it has a magentic device that vibrates the target string so fast it creates an endless but controlled feedback.

Post by: carmen on December 28, 2005, 05:04:09 PM: lthe small knob at the lower end of the bow, you can right tighten it.
