The Real OG

Ignorant motherfuckers all over the place are calling ripoff artists innovators. We're here to correct that. Name a musical innovation that's commonly attributed to one artist and tell us who the real genius is.

First up, Jimmy Page and using a bow on an electric guitar.

Isn't that kind of a self-indulgent idea to begin with (the bow on the guitar thing)?

**Frownland** · 10-03-2016, 10:32 PM

As if music/goddamned GUITAR PLAYERS weren't already self indulgent as ****.

But I mean, I'm sure that you can create different sounds with that kind of ****, but I imagine the motivation for something like that is more about how you can make a live audience go, "OH HOLY **** HE'S GOT A VIOLIN BOW THAT'S ALL CLASSICAL AND MOZART AND ****!!!"

Uh, that's a fiddle bow dude, the **** even is a violin?

Is there an actual difference between a fiddle and violin bow? I was under the impression that fiddle and violin were just the same thing described by either rednecks or not rednecks.

Due to the style of the music played, fiddles may optionally be set up with a bridge with a flatter arch to allow multiple strings to be played simultaneously with more ease, such as the droning in bluegrass music or performing triple stops.
