Our friend Peter DiStefano is one bomb-shizzle guitarist. He spent the past two summers rocking with electronic dance group Hybrid. Here's a video I found on YouTube of Peter playing with Hybrid at the Avalon. Play the video and fast forward about 40 seconds.
He's using a cello bow to play the guitar! Peter has a knack for creating really cool sounds on his guitar using really strange methods. I saw him play with Hybrid at Coachella 2006 (this was before I had met him), and I remember at one point he turned his guitar around and started playing the springs on the back. It was a very memorable performance, which is why I was really excited when we started working with Peter to make content for Samplebase.
Now after a bit of hard work, we are happy to announce Peter DiStefano's first SoundBlock, Exosphere - Experimental Guitar. We've tried to capture a wide range of Peter's sonic spectrum with this SoundBlock. It's got everything from light and ethereal to dark and heavy.

He might have seen Jimmy Page doing it back in the seventies with Led Zep no?
Jimmy with a violin bow and an echoplex is an awesome site.
Where I grew up all worthy rock guitarists had violin bows in their case.
That's so cool. It's amazing what a wicked player can do to a guitar. :-)
