Bowed Electric Guitar (with release)
Story
So this is one of a number of experiments that I’ve been making with my Fender Stratocaster guitar, loaned to me by my brother. I began using a bow on my guitar when I was working on my first feature length film and enjoyed the vast array of sounds that I could create.
I am not lucky enough to have access to live string players so I feel that this is a way that I can augment samples effectively to add more mojo, duende or soul to my pieces. Similarly inspired by a lot of the Labs instruments that I constantly find myself using, this particular patch is good when distortion, reverb & delay are added.
I recorded three round robins to give the instrument more unpredictability as I found I would often produce harmonics and harsh scrapes when using the bow.
Hopefully it’s as useful to you as it has been to me. More on the way!

Lovely sound
Great sample, nice for adding texture or atmosphere, cuts through very nicely. Needed a slight bit of EQ to tame some frequencies, but that is all part of the fun! I highly recommend it!
