Thanks for getting to the point. I saw another video with two gibletheads who talked so much that I didn’t stick around to see what they sounded like. Awesome sounds you made there.
I dont think it will change the tonality of it so much as it will change how it feels...a cello bow is longer and will give you more room to kinda go mrrrrooowwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Imagine walking through a deserted city somewhere in the middle east covered in charred corpses and rubble. The weather is well over 100 degrees and you’re about to collapse from thirst, discomfort, nausea, and general weakness.
An LP or similarly type guitar works best for getting the depth of the low E. If using a guitar with a raised pick guard such as an LP, remove it, it'll get in the way. Raise your bridge for max string height, adjust your pickup height accordingly. I have an Epiphone Les Paul soley dedicated for playing with a bow, therefore a ridiculous string height is of no difference and is set up for this only. Clean the rosin off your pickups here and there, but, leave the strings tacky, it helps your bow grab better. The nastier the strings get, the better the sound you'll pull out of them. An elcheapo violin bow will do you just fine. Just an opinion from someone that's been doing this for several yrs. Hope this comment is helpful to anyone curious to look for the light inside of the darkness of this most eerily beautiful way of playing an electric.
i still come back to this video so often it's like one of my favorite things of all time. The eeriness of it all is so good. the way that it sounds like multiple instruments coming through one guitar. OUGH it's so good. I think about this song like all the time
This song should be played during the deeper and emotionally complicating moments of an as of yet undetermined future anime and I will personally guarantee you that the musical score will be deeply appreciated.
I dont think it will damage anything, but it will leave a sticky residue on the pickup covers as well as your strings. Its hard to clean off but, no I've never had any technical issues with rosin getting on the pickups.
I saw this as a kid when I first started playing the cello and I just gotta say this is as badass as I remembered it. The beginning of the video also really reminds me of the theme from the Revenant (or at least I think it's the theme). Really great stuff.
This is something I intend on doing in my lifetime because this sounds mystical and magical, and I pursued the piano already years ago, oh baby I love being a musician who loves doing different things
I think it fits perfectly to be sung at the cemetery, or in an old and abandoned building where many owls live who will listen to this song with pleasure!
Regarding Rosin damaging the pickups, heres food for thought: Jimmy Page had an uncovered bridge pickup and it died in 1972. No one knows why. Could have been the rosin, could have been a turn of the wind. He replaced it with a covered pickup and it lasted him all of Zeppelin into the 80s (why he replaced it I don't know).
it died because he left the tele with a friend when he went on tour and they painted over everything including the electrics that's why he stopped using the telecaster
Far out! the Space Echo is a wonderful effect.. I have got an RE-201 and it sounds great, especially when you turn up the amp quite loud so you can hear all the suble nuances in the echoes. It's beautiful!
that is amazing. this, combined with my love of sigur ros makes me promise to myself to get a cello bow in summer and learn to play a guitar like that...
If I may put what I thought it depicted (as art is all to the minds eye of each person to view/hear it), it was like that of dry desert riverbed remains with the rubbing of rotting away ships as some sand is carried by the wind over the towering dunes with the valleys with a slight parching hue of tan in the air from the very fine floating dust suspended in the air. Do keep doing these, they are great story makers and keep up the good work.
Speaking as a violinist here: that's the rosin from the bow's hair getting on the strings. Just use a soft cloth to clean off the strings after playing. Also, you should get a block of rosin to reapply to the hair whenever you go to play.
I done this on my acoustic when I was bored with learning the violin. As soon a I stroked one off, I was "fuuuuck, this is amazing". 20 minutes later the guilt set in as I had to cleanup all the sticky residues. Them semis felt flat after that day.
@@jroc6345 shouldn't do, violins use it all the time Just cleaning the strings is a ball ache. Use a cleaner that wont tamage the finish on your guitar.
sounds like the world just ended in some sort of apocalypse and the main character is getting out of the rubble of a building, looks around at the deatroyed city and is in shock of what the world has turned to
I remember my sister playing an acoustic with a violin bow once, and, although it sounded really cool, the bow was completely destroyed in a matter of minutes. Is it any different with a cello bow?

Yes. This is absolutely true
It's too melodic to be in Black metal.

Playing Guitar with a cello bow, because I've lost control of my life.

Funny you said Jimmy, This reminds me of what Jimmy Page did at RAH for Dazed and Confused.
Stop swearing In the comments
@@Flindersandbowgartfan3876Fuck you asshole I'll swear all I want I'm 35!
so is this how those silent hill sounds are made
Imagined walking through a thick fog in a post apocalyptic world. too much fallout I guess...
In reality, there would be clear days. Every day. For 200 years.
Bruh that's what July finna be like
Imagine your fillings rattling out of your teeth.
When you lose your guitar pick
You drop the bow and it just vanishes
@@AZALEA_HGlmao 😂
Cello bows are shorter than violin bows. They are built for thicker, lower strings, so suit guitar strings better.
Thanks for getting to the point. I saw another video with two gibletheads who talked so much that I didn’t stick around to see what they sounded like.
Awesome sounds you made there.
Lmao, I encountered that video too
Didn’t stick around either
I saw that one too. They also had no idea what they were doing and just made it sound like trash
Just came from that one too
Same, this one satisfied my anticipations.
They had no idea how to use a bow so the notes were trash
I dont think it will change the tonality of it so much as it will change how it feels...a cello bow is longer and will give you more room to kinda go mrrrrooowwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Imagining a post apocalyptic world...walking and watching dead bodies,destroyed buildings,watching the rising sun with remaining survivors
nah xd
The last of us had this type of sound. An electric guitar with a bow
The book of eli

What an amazing sound.. Reminds me of Sigur Ros for sure!
Jonsi does this!
Okay but this is actually so beautiful sounding
Also shit this is from 2009??

Were you a cello/violin player before? I really want to give this a try and get a cheap bow to try it on either my Tele or acoustic
Are you using flatwounds? Is the bow getting damaged too fast?
Sounds like the universe!

I tried playing it this way once. It felt amazing. I hope that someday Jónsi will know what I did
This is the sound of impending doom.
This is something I intend on doing in my lifetime because this sounds mystical and magical, and I pursued the piano already years ago, oh baby I love being a musician who loves doing different things
MY JAW DROPPED
Being a Jimmy Page fan, I'd have to say this sounds fantastic. Great job.
Have you heard sigur ros too?
@@789quicky yes they're great.
Love guitar players who use Violin bows
Sounds like the score to a movie! So coooool!!

Reminds me of The Last of Us
I came to the comments looking for someone else who thinks the same thing

James Fielding Very true, rosin is nasty stuff
it died because he left the tele with a friend when he went on tour and they painted over everything including the electrics that's why he stopped using the telecaster
Does not sound bad at all :)
Reminds me of something Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin did once
Is that a serious question?
Rock N Roll Schizophrenic in the light
As did Eddie Phillips of Creation before Page. Page used the bow when he was with the Yardbirds.
dazed and confused 1969 live in paris
Page used the bow in every single performance of Dazed a d Confused for more than 10 years. It was not "once".
The ambient track that plays when you enter purgatory
why am i watching this when my bow and my guitar are just across from each other in my room
Far out! the Space Echo is a wonderful effect.. I have got an RE-201 and it sounds great, especially when you turn up the amp quite loud so you can hear all the suble nuances in the echoes. It's beautiful!

hearing this while trying to sleep must be beautiful, great performance man
the sound of monsters emerging from the abyssal depths of the oceans after the apocalypse caused by Nibiru
instant like on the sound of the first bow :)

*- Sìgur Rós Has Entered The Chat*
Very atmosphaeric and beautiful, definetly gonna try that myself!
Nice sounds you're getting. I just tried this and it's not easy to do.
Nice!!!
Bro was pioneering the Dune soundtrack way ahead of time
and thats one Drone metal track down, now for the rest of the album
Hauntingly beautiful. Amazing.
War. War never changes.
I done this on my acoustic when I was bored with learning the violin. As soon a I stroked one off, I was "fuuuuck, this is amazing". 20 minutes later the guilt set in as I had to cleanup all the sticky residues. Them semis felt flat after that day.
Do you think there's any chance of the rosin actually damaging any part of the acoustic guitar? I really want to try this

gives off post apocalyptic vibes
amazing 🔥
why has no one ever thought of this before you sir are a genius
+Vik Estrada Have a look at Sigur Ros, their singer Jonsi has been doing it for years :)
Jimmy Paige from Led Zepplin as well...
Jimmy Page, 1969 with Dazed and Confused.
Sounds like a hallucinating trip!
When the last of us cut scene start to come in
Sounds beautiful
anyone else get this recommended in the video w another guy playing a cello like a guitar?
yea
It’s gonna pop in ur recommendations in this days.
I’m the first saying it, then leave a ❤️
LOVE THIS !! IT IS AWESOME !!
Sounds like a hurdy gurdy
no it doesn't
Phenomenal sounds!
This would have sounded perfect in Red Dead Redemption 2
I'm loving your guitar. :)
That’s an Indie film soundtrack right there.
That more explosions in the sky
Noooo! What!?
Is this real? This sounds fucking awesome!
This literally sounds like 30 Days of Night’s ending song, before the main man completes his sacrifice
I swear this is the book of Eli
That sound is like after war.... smoke and ruins...and many corpse....uhhhh...
Post apocalyptic sound...
Actual music starts at 0:43
Bru thats less then a minute evryone can wait
awesome sounds!!
Thought it would be Nicholas Hooper - Dumbledore's Farewell.
This is super good.
Maybe because this is how Jonsi plays his guitar ;P
Quite awesome fella
Reminds me of the Joker soundtrack....nice
This sounds awesome :D
That sounds COOL.
Are you just in drop D? This is great man.
Beautiful.
Could be good in a movie soundtrack.
very atmospheric
Sounds great man!
Lovely stuff

sounds amazing!! Can you please share your pedal setup in order to achieve the sound?
The Mile End Effects mthrfckr=rptr will capture these sounds! mileendeffects.org
Isnt a good weather for an airstrike? Lol sigur rós reference.
My goodness i like that
Sounds like an electric viola da gamba
I love this.
great sound
It's like The Rover soundtrack
Why am i deeply moved by this?
this song is performed in the ritual of anime
Simply beautiful. What tuning are you in?
As far as sound quality goes do you find that it's better with the hollow bodied guitar than solid or are they pretty much the same?
ok i thought it was a Dynacord Eminent I. great playing by the way!
