How To Use An EBow The Right Way

Ebow tomorrow on Reverb: $1000

Josh probably rests his elbows on the toilet tank.

This man listened to THE TAPE THAT TELLS YOU HOW TO HOLD IT and didn't listen lmaaooooooo

He might have the box, but he certainly doesn't have the instructions.

I just snorted bread through my nose: all of these things are explained in the manual and cassette 😂 Good on you Josh for allowing this comedy gold to be shared. Only a person with no ego can do that

Josh, I have tremendous respect for you sharing both your triumphs and embarrassments. You're what we all hoped the internet would be back when it started... real and educational. Thank you.

The Seinfeld drop was hilarious

It's an electric bow!!! 😂😂😂 03:07

I'm stuck at the almost bought an EBow stage for like 30 years. I'm again looking at the decision line and staring. It's a blissful, longing place to be.

Never underestimate the power of a "this side up" logo. Lol

Please go bananas with the editing like this more often

Running an EBow (the right way round) through a reverse delay, maybe the funnest thing you can do with an EBow.

I just have the utmost respect for a man who will show his misunderstandings. You are a class act Josh.

As soon as the arpeggios started happening I lost my mind. Literally decades of using it exclusively like you josh.

It really doesn't matter in which direction you hold your EBow. However, it is suggested that you hold it "backwards" (reverse grip) when playing on the bridge pickup, and "the right way" when playing on the neck pickup.

Collective Soul had a custom stand that the ebow was attached by rope to. So when he dropped it, it would swing away and he could come back and grab it when needed again.

I know he’s busy, but can Stu please become a permanent installment on the JHS Show? He’s just the best

Yeah, I woulda thought the LED might’ve been a clue

A few ebow tricks Stu didn't mention 1 Overdriving your pickup by laying into the hotspot 2 Pushing down on the ebow until it contacts the string makes a satisfying squeal 3 This is a weird one I discovered while playing around. Set your guitar to an in-between position with two pickups active. Hold your slide with your right hand on the strings somewhere between the pickup. Select a string and holding the ebow with your left hand place it over the 12th fret. You will hear two pitches, one from each side of the slide. As you move the slide the pitches will move opposite each other.

One or two things I learned with elbows: 1) have spare batteries. 2) tape the switch to prevent batterie from dying of beiing switched on by something in your case. 3) have a spare batteries and a safe space to put it on when you’re not playing.
