Description: Messing about on a Les Paul with a violin bow trying to sound like Sigur Ros / Jimmy Page and failing miserably! Got a tone of effects on to give it some atmosphere. If you have any questions or if you wish to request a specific demonstration of any of the equipment shown in the video, feel free to contact me through youtube or email me at my bands website at www.myspace.com/vinylfuture

pyropranker ::: Favorites Anyone who's giving you flack about using a bow when jimmy page has should give up guitar and everything in life, because its all been done. So what if you use a bow thats like saying you can't use power chords cause punk bands use them. Besides page used them in one solo mostly made up of him whacking his strings with it like a stick. 07-08-31 14:34:33 _____________________________________________________
craigmcarthur1 ::: Favorites Its so not ripping him off, one it doesnt sound anything like Jimmy Page in anyway and two Page copied it off a guy called Eddie Philips from a band called The Creation! So if anything am ripping off Philips! I dont see any vids of you doing anything remotely creative on your page. 07-08-29 19:40:38 _____________________________________________________
bush555 ::: Favorites I think it's ripping it off, I mean c'mon page is known for doing that almost every live show. 07-08-29 19:21:17 _____________________________________________________
craigmcarthur1 ::: Favorites Yeh on one of the our new tracks I sing backing and play at the same time, granted I have two other guitarists playing with me. Check out a Sigur Ros video called "Sigur Ros Reverb" on youtube, that dude sings and plays with the bow, sounds tremendous. They r a four pience essentially, guitar + vocals, bass, drums and keys. 07-08-26 08:43:06 _____________________________________________________
craigmcarthur1 ::: Favorites It sounds nothing like page u fool. Took the idea from him and developed it, thats what having influences is about, taking ideas from people and putting your own slant on it, rather just copying other guitarists. 07-08-26 08:41:30 _____________________________________________________

bush555 ::: Favorites Don't be a poser, only Page can do it, think of something else. 07-08-26 05:40:18 _____________________________________________________
Rabulione ::: Favorites Alright im gonna try this stunt on my fender! I dont think I'l be able to add it to our live set though cause we're a 3-piece and i sing and play guitar. do ya think its possible? 07-08-26 03:27:11 _____________________________________________________
craigmcarthur1 ::: Favorites Yeh I put resin on the Bow, if you dont the bow either produces no sound or a horrible tone. So if you try it dude apply alot of resin to the bow before you start! Yeh check out the myspace, there r some home deoms and some gig vids on there, we have just finished recording our first ep which is currently being mixed and mastered and will be uploaded onto the myspace soon!
