Have you ever heard of the eBow? It's a string sustainer that can give you infinite sustain on electric guitar - in the same way that a violinist uses a bow to sustain a note forever (but electronically!).
In this lesson, I'm going to cover everything so that you can become a pro of the eBow:
- The best settings on the guitar (volume, pickup, tone knob)
- Which effects to add for a nice tone
- Technique: how to play cleanly with an eBow
- 3 different exercises to master changing strings
- Examples of what you can create with an eBow
Let's dive in!

Still got my 1984 E-bow
I play It for years, now. Thing is to mantain my wrist in the same position on the guitar, wich becomes an issue when I get 🤔… exited and start moving up and down or shaking my knee!! 🤭 🤣🤣🤣 Love It. Saludos de Ciudad de México, Maestro.
BEST Ebow Video Explanation in KZread, by far.
EBow is a great guitar gadget to have. I've got mine 6-7 years ago and it was really expensive for me (because it's not popular here in Iran and I had to order one and it made it a little more expensive than usual) but it made the best guitar playing experiences for me. The best combination of an ebow is basically a very long delay with a reverse reverb. It makes a very nice drone fill.
Loving this!
Great Tutorial! Thanks!
Me encanta usarlo, personalmente me gusta con el tono en cero. Además que como ya sabes Bill es quien me inició en el mundo del Ebow.
Very helpful! Thank you.
I got a Ebow about a year ago.Forgot it was in a drawer.Great video.Exact Michael Torn tone using your ebow,when you first started.From a Old looping CD of his.Didn't know how he got that sound. Now I do. Caught me by surprize when I heard it.. Appreciate what you show here on KZread.Been subbed for a long time.Picked up some Good tips from you..Going to use that Ebow again,Now..Best Regards.
Nice job Antoine!
AWESOME
Thank you!
So appreciate your channel😊
Love my ebow. :D. Always looking for other approaches so this should be cool.
Used my eBow quite a bit and enjoyed it. Left it unused for a couple of months and now it's not working - not a battery issue, it's just stopped functioning.
Thanks!.. Been hoping to find someone using one with slide guitar
Who can touch this Cat in Ambient Wizardry.
I have had my E-bow for 20 years. As cool as they are, I've only used it a dozen times in all those years.

I have mine for 10 years, you love it first but its old very quickly,I think its been a good year since I have used it.
Check out Phil Keaggys’ use of the E-Bow !
I leave my volume and tone knobs alone, and just set it to the neck pickup only and move the ebow closer to and further away from the pickup to adjust volume/drive while playing. I almost never place the ebow right on the active pickup for max volume, as I seldom want that.
I have an E-Bow and I don't get why they make it so big. It's very unhandy, especially when you have smaller hands.

Most of its size is to house the battery.
Does this work with any type of pickup?

The ebow affects the string directly, so does not require specific pickups to work.

@@BdotRASS Thanks. I could actually see the metal string vibrating. I guess it won't work on nylon strings.

@@LBNLDC1 sadly no; it won't do much of anything to nylon strings. Also it's worth noting tha ebows have a much weaker effect on steel string acoustics; as the steel cores are wrapped with non-ferrous metals. (So there's less excitable material to interact with the magnetic field).
