I cant really find too many "E-Bow virtuosos" out there..

Can anyone give me a point in the right direction? I'd appreciate it. :)

Robert Fripp is the first one that comes to mind.... he's a frickin MASTER of the e-bow! Check out the entire King Crimson catalog (especially all the stuff after 1980...)

Fred Frith is another one. Check out his album "Guitar Solos" , you'll never believe that what youre hearing is being played by one guy on one guitar (I dont think theres any overdubs on this one.... I could be wrong though...)

i'll try and post others if I can remember them

Thanks, Neeesh!

I've got some King Crimson lying around, but I dont remember hearing too much e-bow on it.. I'll have to give that stuff another spin, though.

Billy Corgan and James Iha do some E-bow work on Mellon COllie and the Infinite Sadness. I'm not sure exactly which tunes as sometimes you can't tell the difference between E-bow and feedback. I know track one on the second cd uses it alot, randomly. Check it out.

Thanks, son of Arrow..~~!!

I'd actually prefer a lot of the guitar synch on Adore.. it worked better, Imo..

A lot of the sustain was doubled over the normal guitar parts on mellon collie, which makes it virtually impossible to recreate with one person.
