Hello Everyone!
I own an E-Bow and it's easily my favorite creative tool.
I like to use it tracked a few times over making different harmonies, etc.

One trick i used that ended up sounding pretty cool was i tracked one take in standard mode on the E-Bow, than the same line again with the "harmonic" mode. I also rolled the tone off on the guitar.

Just experiment with different effects on your guitar, and soon enough you'll come across something you really like.

Have a great day.

Those things rock, how much did you guys pay for it? I will buy one later this year I think if I start recording my own songs. Around here they cost about €90 (~$115). I'm just asking in case you guys ordered it online for a good price or whatever. Haven't done much research myself yet.

so far ive mainly used mine for a sort of flute tone (semi hard to achieve to keep it stable and consistant to not reveal it being a flute imposter)...

as well as using it for many different types of space rock sounds. use it in conjunction with your effects pedals. i recommend sitting on the floor, with the guitar in your lap, so you can constantly tweak the pedal settings at the same time.

I've been using mine to get a cello or violin type sound. It's a really fun tool to work with and you just have to keep experimenting. That's probably the best advice I can give you. I'm still learning it myself and I got it quite a few months back.

I was looking at E-bows one day... Couldn't afford it at the time. I'm thinking of making my own. Anyone have some cool ideas that I could use to make it dfferent? Like being able to play several strings at once, except some idea that's actually cool?

forgive my ignorance, but what songs is it used in other than drapery?

It's been around since Still Life. A few examples are Godhead's Lament, The Leper Affinity, Bleak, Blackwater Park, Closure, etc.

 

[Arjen W.]

Oh yeah, Isolation Years is a great example.

I didn't know they used it in Closure - I thought that was just a bunch of layered guitar parts, each a note apart (or so Mike said on the Lamentations docu)...
