Whether you're a beginner guitarist or a seasoned professional, you can learn some practical applications of the whammy bar. We'll talk about using it for chordal embellishments, getting the Hawaiian and Surf guitar sound, and how to use the whammy bar for better vibrato. We'll also discuss the difference between fretting hand vibrato and whammy bar vibrato - a key difference that can really give you more tonal options. Watch as Sam also provides practical tips on using pentatonic phrases with the whammy bar and how it can improve your guitar solos.
Experienced guitarists will love the more advanced techniques, like the Steve Vai scoop technique and whammy bar gargles. Sam also demonstrates the whammy bar divebomb harmonic as used by Dimebag Darrell, and how to grab a harmonic and dive the bar to get that classic "elephant" sound on the guitar. We'll finish up with a discussion of the Joe Satriani "Lizard Down the Throat" technique, and then we'll wrap up with some final thoughts on using the whammy bar for an electric guitar. So sit back, grab your guitar, and let's get divebombing!
