Members QuestionableMan Posted June 26, 2008 Members Share Posted June 26, 2008 no, im not going to use it live. only at home. even if it sounded amazing i dont think i could live with myself Couldn't live with yourself? Are you embarassed because you aren't being completely original? If it has the sound you are after... use it... if everyone adopted that mindset, no instrument would have become popular. I personally find Jonsi's method counterintuitive... The cello bow was refined for a cello position, adopting it for guitar use will have its obvious ergonomic issues. Perhaps the older-style violin bows (with the crescent shape) would be easier to use with a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members QuestionableMan Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 come on dood..... im sure you can see how this would be just a LITTLE different. Bowed guitars go back as far as the 1500's, and even further in Spanish culture...I see you not wanting to be conventional, but then caring about how people perceive your unconventionality.

Members surfcat Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 You can only use it live if you have a jumpsuit with a dragon on it. Don't the hairs on it, or whatever they use, shred pretty easily? During the Song Remains the Same, Page's was about half shredded-might not be cost-effective.

Members L_Z_nut Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 I {censored}ing HATE HATE!!!!!! It's a good thing you're not planning on using it live, unless you really do something creative, and amazing with it.... it's kind of hack-ee. Cello would definitely be the best. I don't think anyone uses violin bows for guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members damnuandurdog Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 do i sense a little gay hatred? not too welcome round these parts......... No, a bit sensitive are we?

Members QuestionableMan Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 That might be a guitar but you can tell by the bridge it was made for a bowIt's actually a viol de gamba. Viol's are the step-brother of the Gittern, which in turn became the guitar.It turned into the renaissance guitar which was then played among the most elite... and the guitar really only came into power in america during the advent of blues. At one time, 90% of all instruments sold commercially in America were BANJOS. The banjo used to be the modern guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
