Big Country's Stuart Adamson (Ebow 101)

This is my homage to one of the greatest guitar players EVER.... William Stuart Adamson (1958 - 2001).

[@edsa1318]

Aye, thanks King Adamson. You have helped me throughout my 47 years. Big Country... what a band.

[@asparagusbear3323]

very underrated guitar player because of the band's Big Hit. RIP Mr. Adamson.

Sadly missed, love their music,I still listen to them all the time, the most under rated band.

[@rogerkay8603]

Sadly missed, good on yer for recognising the genius of the man. Ace guitarist, songwriter, lyricist. We will see his like no more.

[@dem8667]

Criminally underated guitar player. Thanks big man.

The Ebow intro of " The Storm" has been the most hauntingly beautiful use of the Ebow that I have ever heard.

[@rrrayrrray]

Agreed.

[@JHollowayNetwork]

Big Country is what introduced me to the Ebow.

The won and only r.i.p never forgotten

[@rrrayrrray]

Thank you for posting this.

Only one comes close and for me to say that is almost like a sacrilege to me but I don't think Stuart would have minded. Anyway, nobody plays the ebow on the guitar. Except Stuart. Brilliant! The man is legend.

[@Rarebirdeffects]

The ebow was literally invented for guitar.... and almost exclusively used on guitar.

[@cejannuzi]

Well Bill Nelson is master of it as well. Listen to his October Man.

Why hasn't Big country been inducted into the hall of fame or at least recognised for their importance to music.
