Pickaso Guitar Bow Review & Live Loop Demonstration

Pickaso Guitar Bow allows you to take your acoustic guitar playing to a new dimension. While using the bow you can achieve sounds similar to the Violin/Viola/Cello family of instruments. Since it was designed with guitar players specifically in mind, the sound comes through with beautiful quality and depth. I believe this bow allows a player to expand their creative insights on the acoustic guitar!

[@stephenlennartz3466]

Hi Dylan. Just discovered your channel. Awesome and inspiring demo of the bow! Thank you for posting. On a production note ... this is beautifully shot and the audio of the demo is great! My only suggestion is to upgrade from the SM57 mic that you used in the intro. My respectful recommendation comes to you from personal experience. After years (30+!) of using the SM57 as my go to ... I wanted to raise the bar as I started singing significantly more lead vocal--as single, in a duo and in a cover band. I found an amazing audio expert who agreed to help me demo 6 or 7 mics. My budget for a new mic was up to $1200. yes expensive but your voice is everything... why skip on the quality of a mic? Long story short ... the Sennheiser e865 took my voice to a whole new level AND for under $300! It's made all the difference in my live performances. Highly recommend... whether you go with a Sennheiser or other stepup mic. Again ... this suggested with all the respect in the world. Thanks again for your awesome demo!! Looking forward to more.

[@TheFretwrecker]

Did you test the E935 and E945 as well ?

[@Disheartened6]

Just found out about this! Wow👏

[@MrCabimero]

Beautiful music sir. Is that an original composition? You essentially turned your guitar into a cello. Very soothing music.

[@shayneoneill1506]

Im a little frusturated with this bow. Mines thoroughly dusted with rosin (Its more than I'd usually use on a cello) but I can get absolutely no sound off a Martin D10. I just dont get what I'm doing wrong :/ The string kinda feels a little loose too.

[@dylanchurchill1094]

Ah- I believe it has to do with your guitar strings. I didn't know at the time, but the bow can only be used on UN-coated guitar strings!

Hi, after seeing your video I was really inspired and bought the guitar bow. But for some reason it isn‘t producing any sound on the thicker strings. But on the giutar from a friend it works. Which string are you playing? I think that‘s the only possibility to solve my problem. Thanks!

[@dylanchurchill1094]

Hi there! Yes an important detail I missed during the filming was the fact that the bow works only on NON coated guitar strings

[@drewwalker5347]

Big dog, what guitar is this? Fantastic job by the way, fuck yeah!

[@scottbecker3485]

Truly mesmerizing! I‘ve been close to buying one of these but for one thing: The makers state on their site that it doesn‘t work on coated strings, and I use (and love) the Elixir NanoWeb Phos. Bronze strings. I wonder if you or anybody watching this video might have tried the bow on such strings? Is that really not feasible in terms of playability or sound?

[@norbertplaysguitar7244]

I use a normal bow on a guitar. And I can tell you that coated strings are not suitable. The other thing that doesn’t get mentioned enough is that, your strings and guitar are not going to be clean after you use a normal blanket. The strings get dull pretty fast. It’s not a problem if you got a guitar that is played mostly with bow, it could be even satisfying to lose some of the high end. But if you love the sound of fresh string and a clean guitar using a bow with rosin is not the way to go.

[@scottbecker3485]

@@norbertplaysguitar7244 Thank you very much, Norbert, for sharing your valuable experience with this! :-) Based on your remarks, I will refrain from getting this bow (or any other), since I don‘t have a guitar that I‘d set aside for uncoated strings, and only for use with a bow. I‘d surely not enjoy having a messy instrument, either. Thanks for saving me from potential disappointment.

[@norbertplaysguitar7244]

@@scottbecker3485 you’re welcome. Are you familiar with the concept of the E-Bow? It’s an electric Devise held in your rhytm Hand a bring your strings constantly in motion via magenetism(I guess). It doesn’t work exactly like a Bow but brings interessting and long sustain sounds. I use it a lot on acoustic and electric guitars. It should even work with coated strings and doesn‘t turn your guitar in to a rosin mess. It’s not a Bow, but worth checking out if you’re into experimenting with guitars.

Does it also work with a classical guitar, or are the strings "incompatible" with the way the bow works ?

[@kalebmyers9146]

Only wound and I coated strings are recommended. Never nylon.

[@marzipanmango]

I have an acoustic-electric and a classical. It works on any non coated metal strings, so it works on the bass strings of my classical, but not the nylon strings. Works on my acoustic electric really well though.

[@macgilli2585]

What strings you using?

[@Heyjaybird]

Do I need an a oustic electric For pickaso to work?

[@scottbecker3485]

I believe I saw a video of someone just playing it acoustically, i.e. with no pickup or speaker system. Obviously, though, the richness of the tone is bound to be much enhanced by playing into a system with reverb on (and possibly also delay, as in this video).

[@heregoesmike]

Hey Dylan! I’d love to use the audio from this video as music for a short video that I’m putting together. Could I do so with credit given? Cheers!

[@dylanchurchill1094]

Lawyer63 hey there! I know that they are not compatible with a particular type of coated string - I believe elixir. Also the three upper strings are the trickiest to make sound with because you have to use them very softly!

$80 bucks for this damn thing!

[@5688gamble]

I know, my violin was only a bit over twice that and I would imagine that due to needing more hair as well as longer hair and more wood that it would cost more to make! I mean the hairs have to be sorted by length for a violin bow, they could use the rejects! And I got a reasonable beginner instrument, rosin AND a case for my money too! Plus Better be damn good! I know it's a niche product and while I'd be interested in a short bow I can play with my acoustic guitar to experiment with, if I am looking for the sound of a violin, I'll stick to practising! If I just want to mess around, afraid a rosined pen will have to do! If it was a bit cheaper I'd be tempted, perhaps I'll just order some horse hair and fashion a crude short bow with some offcuts of wood!

[@kumarplocher3706]

@Kkgolem It works as advertised. Of course that means I have to work on my technique. For people who want to bow, it definitely allows it. The deeper/thicker strings are harder to get a good tone with, but a lot of that has to do with the diminutive nature of the bow. Very fun to practice with.

[@dylanchurchill1094]

Gary stretch jr Hey there ! There could be two things, did you get the rosin “started” by scratching the surface of the rosin with something sharp, the company recommends sand paper but I just used a car key! Or- you are using coated strings, specifically elixir brand, which unfortunately aren’t compatible with the the bow!

[@garystretchjr1420]

Dylan Churchill thank you. Although I did attempt to scratch the rosin I did not do it enough, it’s working now

I am more fan of an ordinary violin or chello bow to be honest! I've tried it on a few of my videos mainly on acoustic guitar on here and violin bow have a more soft and persistent sound. Thanks for the video though.

[@dylanchurchill1094]

awesome :) I think your videos sound great! the one thing id ask is how do you get in between strings and play different strings as easily as you can with Pickaso, with a regular bow? Its a bit easier to learn and handle and for that I think its a win for the general person wanting to add that effect!
