Violin Bow
Violin Bow
What are the most effective ways of playing guitar with a violin bow?
Like the rest of us, I've been inspired by the bowed-guitar playing of the likes of Jimmy Page and more recently, the chap from sigur ros. I gather it is very difficult to achieve a good sound due to poor access to the seperate strings, and Guitar Pickups inability to pick up bowed sounds.
I've literally just got given a violin bow to play with, and I don't know where to start. There is the obvious 'add tons of reverb/delay', but can anyone offer any more advice? Particularly information on how it is used in sigur ros' music.
Thanks.
um, actually some guitars have a better string radius than others for this, but you can do it pretty much on any guitar. both jimmy page and jónsi birgisson fret entire chords and just angle the bow and drag acrossall the string. it will take practice. worst case scenario, its also good for making noise.
