So I heard this cool ambient-esque intro to a song, and I can't quite figure out what it is making these wonderful noises. First impression says keyboards, but if you listen closely, you can make out sliding, as though on a fretboard, so I'm thinking ebow on a guitar. However, I've never used an ebow myself, so I couldn't say for sure. Just for curiosity's sake, I'd like to know what it actually is.

Thanks for the help guys. I've been meaning to play around with the ambient sustaining guitar sounds and stuff, so I might go pick up an ebow and see what I can come up with.

Oh yeah, and the song is awesome, so if you haven't heard it, do so immediatly :) Darkest Hour - With A Thousand Words To Say But One
