I used to "dabble" with the bow playin Dazed and Confused and How Many More Times and all I can tell you is you have to have new strings or strings that have been cleaned with polish to get something out of it.Also make sure you you have rosin for the bow.When you try it at 1st it's going to sound like noise but concentrate on the E strings 1st,after all part of what page plays on those two songs is on the the E so listen to them closely, then when you get a little more experience try two strings then maybe 3 and experiment.But also have fun with it. By the way,Ive also heard a bass player do this too and it sounded cool as well.
Can we have everything louder than everything else???
