"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Jim Dufresne, I'm here to tell you about the ebow. It's kind of cool, it has a blue light right there and it takes a 9 volt battery inside hand held.

See how it isolates the upper harmonic and here's the lower one and you can drive low strings or you can drive high strings.

And you can arpeggio with it, now you'll notice that the attack is not as immediate as a pick but the function is cool. And for 125 bucks I think it's pretty cheap they don't pay me to do this."

on 10/23/2008 Hi,
First of all, thank you for all that you do for music. I noticed you have some great lessons here. I just launched a new social space called MusicianMatch.com for musicians, bands, fans, and music industry professionals. Would you please create a FREE Music Industry Professional (MIP) profile and upload your videos to advertise/offer/sell your services to our members? On MusicianMatch.com, we have some great, young, raw talent that will need some direction from someone with your skills.
Of course, you can also register a second musician profile (or just use the MIP profile for everything) and network with our musicians to make music and/or enter our Best Internet Musician contest for up to $500 in Guitar, Bass, Drums, Vocals, Keys/Piano, and Turntables. Would you please stop by and tell me what you think? Here is one of our MIP profiles, http://www.musicianmatch.com/woodshed . Thanks for your time....
