    The one that I've never been able to nail correctly is Satriani's "Snake down the Throat"
    Grabbing a note, performing an upward glissando and diving the bar at the exact same rate...leaving a slightly wobbled pitch center, and the sound of percussive movement over the frets...Vai used it too.

    You gotta do the dimebag one where you dip the bar, and flick the g string with your fretting hand, and while bringing the bar up, you quickly hit a harmonic with the fretting hand. Like 3rd fret. Or the satriani where you dip the bar with your fretting hand, and do a pinch harmonic on the way up, or the opposite, do a pinch harmonic, then dive.

    Joe Satriani's "Lizard down the throat" effect, from Ice 9: Play a note on the G string, low on the fingerboard, and while sliding the note up the fingerboard, slowly bring the bar down at the same rate so that the pitch stays the same as close as you can. When you get to the top of the fingerboard, slide back down while letting up on the bar in the same fashion.

    I first learned the importance of the whammy listening to Ritchie Blackmore abusing the heck out of it with Lady Double Dealer and Alice Cooper had a song called Cold Ethel where there was a heavy whammy solo and of course Jimi Hendrix. There's so many possibilities with a good whammy set up especially if the guitar is routed out underneath the tremelo system where you can pull up on it and turn it in a circular motion. As Dime would say Get yer pull! ;)

    This is a freaking great video, I've always wondered how those sounds were achieved. When I was a teenager, I was at some church thing when I heard some guy make this crazy sound come from his guitar, but by the time I looked to see what was up, all I saw was his hand move away from the whammy bar, damn it, I was too late. That was probably 35, maybe 36 years ago, but dude it's like you hit the rewind button on my memories and then gave me the remote... Thanks for that.

    30 years ago while been tuning the guitar using natural harmonics I ve got funny kina dive bomb sound. The idea is starting with 2 or more same notes on different strings and then change tension with bar. For example natural harmonics on 1st string 7 fret + 2nd string 5 fret (+ 3rd string 4 fret) and so on.. you ve got the idea.

    When I was 17 I used to have this tiny little solid-state practice amp that was about 6x6 inches square. This is 1985. I could place the little amp on its edge at a 45 degree angle contacting the strings and it would immediately start to feed back, Then I could slide it up the strings and get the most realistic motorcycyle sound you can imagine....even better than Kickstart My Heart.
    I've built a couple of tiny solid state, 9V amps that would equate that little box I had, but none will do the feedback motorcycle.

  • @rockers2rockers616
    @rockers2rockers616 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Cool...the only one I know, and always gets people to stop and listen, is to have some gain, turn the volume up on your amp but roll your guitar volume down. At fret 12 pluck both the low and high E harmonic at the same time then quickly roll on your volume to loud. Pause for a sec then slowly raise the trem bar. The sound is other worldly as the low E note tries to catch-up with the high E. It's a freaky trick that you can ride with a drum and bass behind you.

      It's not required to do a lot of this stuff. A properly floating Fender-style bridge can do some of these things. You obviously don't have the entire range of motion that a Floyd has but you can still do them and have them sound good.

I made the bad mistake of not watching videos on how to set it up lol I cut all the strings at one time it was driving me crazy so I brought to someone to set it for me I got a Jackson with one on it. 🤘enjoy sir!!!

    Lots of cool whammy bar tricks, which are always good fun, thanks for putting this video together. Here's another one for you, I call it the Satriani Gargle, hit a note (let's say the we use the G string at fret 5) then slide up the fretboard while pushing the whammy bar towards the body. The aim is to keep the pitch as static as possible, so in this example we would be trying to maintain the pitch of C. Give it a try if you haven't already, it's an interesting gargling sound.

    Great video! I've never seen these shown before. I don't remember where/how I learned them other than a few seminars Dimebag hosted and showed some of his tricks. I think I figured some of them out clowning around. Trem bar's cool! So many things can be done with it that almost no one does anymore.

    John Petrucci also does a couple of those “gargle” tremolo bar slaps towards the end of the solo for “Under A Glass Moon”. I remember the first time seeing him do that on the Images & Words : Live In Tokyo concert video in the 90’s, and then trying it on my cheap-ass Squire Strat, and wondering why the hell it wouldn’t work.....of course is was because I needed a Floyd Rose - and a much better guitar in general lol

    Awesome description and explanation. Just saving a time stamp to try and learn something I could try implement in my own little lick. Sounds great. One problem I seem to have is the angle my bar sits at is pointing away too high from the body so when trying to hold it and pick, my hand is uncomfortably far from the strings for picking. I need a replacement bar with a better angle. I once had an Ibanez which had a bar that would sit so low and parallel to the body that it’d catch on the fine tuner’s on the tremolo. But having it lower was easier to pick comfortably while having the bar in my palm too! Thanks anyway l. Really helpful video
