norules4th October 2012nice! it'd be great to see more lessons on here focused on using effects and gadgets to create unconventional sounds. i'd love to see a lesson using a kaoss pad for example or using expression pedal/dial turning on delay etc...

Hi everybody!
Welcome to my new lesson!
In this one I will show you how to use Ebow!
Ebow is short for Electronic bow device which got famous in 1980s. It works that same way as a sustainer.
It has two magnets that make your string keep ringing. You can get very creative with it!
To get this lesson to sound exactly the same you will need an Ebow but you can still learn to play it without it!
I hope you will enjoy this lesson and will learn a lot about using an Ebow and combining pentatonic scales!
Key signature: A minor
I used a combinations of A minor and D minor pentatonic.
Gear:
Tom Anderson Telecaster
Ugly Amps - Ugly 18
ZMG - Aspid Drive
Waves plugins
Apogee ensemble
Melody - here are two pentatonic scales that I used :
A minor
D minor
