50 thoughts on “6 Slick Whammy Bar Tricks

  • A few months back my brother bought me a Kirk Hammett Cry Baby Wah pedal. In my mind I thought it was going to be easy to use and I’d sound awesome. I had no idea what I was doing or how the pedal even worked. Got frustrated, felt a bit like a cry baby myself and put it back in the box. About a week later I decided to try again but with a bit of help. found your video on wah pedal tricks, and suddenly the planets all aligned perfectly and I saw clarity. Next time my brother came over I melted his face. Mr Hammett himself would have been impressed with my awesomeness.

    I doubt I’d have got through that without your guidance.

    And here I am, about to become a new level of awesome with my whammy bar.

    Thanks ????

  • Number 1. This is the way.

    I bought a preowned ESP that should have had a pretty decent original Floyd Rose but the last owner had swapped it for a really cheap copy before selling it. Plus side is I got the guitar cheap and it has active EMG pickups, downside is the tremolo was poop and had all sorts of issues. So for about 6 months of owning the guitar it has been blocked off like a hard tail. This week I finally got my act together and bought a new full locking tremolo system. I finished fitting everything tonight, and tomorrow I will be cleaning up the fretboard and fitting some new slinky pinky’s and will finally be able to swing on that bar.

    Harmonic divebombs are first on the menu for tomorrow.

    Thank you

  • I wish my PRS had the FR trem instead of the usual crappy trem.????
    I Blocked mine because it would go out of tune everytime! (and I have the expensive Core Custom 24)

  • Hi bro. Just ask. How to doing the wrabbling sounds. Use whammy bar.. What's its sound used to produce it.. How's to do & what's the type guitar effect used.. Maybe overdrive, distortion, fuzz or etc

  • Whatever jason becker or marty friedman does at the end of Go Off sounds amazing, The little squeaks before the pick attack sounds so cool and gives the harmonic and huge sound

  • The safest choice for everybody in San Andreas was probably to kill Trevor. but the best choice was death wish

  • How do you get the whammy bar to defy gravity?
    Mine either swivels when loose or at the wrong angle when all the way tight.

  • This reminds me of the Joe Satriani quote when he was talking about "wang" bars, and he said that sometimes the best way to use it is to take the wang bar out and leave it alone 😀

  • I know this is an old video but do you know how to re-shape the bar without breaking it? mind feels to tall at the end and I would like to make it lower.

  • what do you mean by "you will never get your guitar in tune again after using the whammy bar" ? should I be afraid of hammering my cheap guitar?

  • Anyone know how to recreate the tone he has on boss tone? Or something close to it. Running a shecter with an emg 81 and a sustaniac

  • Didn't Brad Gillis come up with that floating flutter sound ? I noticed a lot of these methods are some of the same as Ed has done. You didn't mention the Elephant roar. It sounds cool when Ed of course does it. (well not anymore but…
