Interesting

Adrian check out the movie August Rush and look at the way the boy in the movie approaches the guitar, it might be something that you can add to using the bow.

That's pretty cool. Me, I have a hard enough time using a bow on my upright! :wink:

Check out some videos of Carbon Leaf - the lead guitar player sometimes plays a 'guit-cello' - a hammed-up partial cello body with a fretted fingerboard.

I watched Celebration Day with Zep a couple of days ago, I dont think any guitarist has made the bow more relevent than Pagey!

I need to get one of those for my next gig!

Mike Nigel is my Idol man, how he plays guitar with his feet, and the shirt man, got to get one of those shirts!

I learned all my stage moves from Nigel!


Hes the man

Spinal Clap forever!

I like the concept, and the visual- fun work with the lighting. Reminds me of fantasia when you do that and the mood changes. The Old Fantasia anyway.
