Basically, it's a device that uses a battery-powered magnet to excite the guitar string (instead of plucking the string with your finger or a pick), and since it makes the string move as long as you have the Ebow applied, it can go on forever. It's called an Ebow because it gives a similar tone to what you'd with a violin bow being drawn across the strings. They're great for ambient drones.<BR/><BR/>Coincidentally, I use an Ebow quite a lot myself, including on my own winter record, "6 strings for a winter's day".
