Re: E-Bow

bad news....it needs practice :-(


Most users rely on compression/distortion to even out the volume,
in which case you go right over the p/u and don't worry about
the overload.

Without that safety net it's a matter of very carefully
adjusting distance as you sweep.

Push the bow into the strings a bit, then as it sweeps
it has some kind of plucking action.

Can also start by just sweeping 2 ( or just one) string to feel how it 
works.
