Ahhhh!:
Who can't use the whammy bar? It's all for show.
No-one can exactly replicate the use of a whammy bar:
If you learn a song with it, and you play the bar when you're supposed to, thats about as god as it gets...
as long as you hold it for the right time, and the right direction, it doesn't matter


try learing a steve vai song then. he uses the whammy bar like everyone else who's suppose to be able to use one, yet most people here won't be able to replicate his sound with it. it's not all for show, you still need to practice with it to actually do things with it.

yah it does that. it's because it moving the bridge to make the sound it makes and the strings get shifted so it goes out of tune. if you're going to use whammy a lot, buy a guitar with a bridge lock. ibanez rgs come with it.

Boo.

I guess I get all the bad luck.

I just chew mine and put it on my guitar to make me look like I know more than I do. Cool

You shouldnt use it whene your guitar is new, it gets out of tue easily enough, without extra strain on the nice new lovely strings. o_o
