The first thing that non guitars players touch on a electric guitar is the whammy bar. For some reason they go crazy even if they don't know a single note.
LOL so true. More than once I've had non-guitar player friends ask "Dude can I play with your guitar?"...Me, slightly apprehensive: "Sure, go ahead" (cause they're a friend). Every. Single. Time. They (ask me to) turn on the amp and get everything ready....they strap on the guitar like they're a rock god about to go out on stage...they hit an open E....and then they try to push the tip of the whammy bar THROUGH the guitar.....
Last week we had a young family over, and their little 1 year old walked over casually to our wooden newspaper holder which basically holds the paper in place with 8 vertically mounted sticks. He grabs the stick and wildly starts yanking with determination xD I guess we have it in our blood.
how can non-guitar players even know about the whammy bar? I have a friend that is an acoustic player, he had an electric guitar for 3 years, and he asked me what is this bar for? he tried to spin spin the bar but nothing happens.
This user on a platform called "TH-cam" has got one of the few videos that you can watch in a short timespan called "shorts" that are worth watching. It is very humorous everytime. (Continue making this more verbose)
You forgot the part where you get hyped up and try to do a sick divebomb while holding only the Whammy Bar and break the whole bridge. (My true story lmao)
How did you not feel the tension lol you must have some strength like titanium the only thing I done with a whammy bar and a bridge was knock the whammy springs a little out of place but that was all I can just already imagine how your face was like just looking down at the broken guitar welp sheeeeit
@@Gigachad-eh5jv I'm not that strong but metal gives you the power and energy I never even imagined I had lol. After that incident I decided to use my guitar with a fixed bridge
I lent mine to a friend and he managed to break the bar itself, now my guitar has had a whammy stub in its bridge for years. I recently blocked the bridge and I'm so happy T~T
I remember using the whammy bar which came along with my electric guitar. It was a non Floyd Rose. I whammied too hard and my bridge came out a bit. 😂😅😅 A fun moment which costed me ₹1800.
The first floyd rose guitar I got was set up so poorly that I had to redo it myself... needless to say the thing popped a string 3 days later making me paranoid to even use the damn thing. But I figured it out eventually
@@haywoodyoudome What do you mean by two months? For most decent jobs, it's like the pay of 1 day. If your boss gives you that much for 2 months, just leave the job.
When I was a young teenager, my first guitar was a simple Epiphone SG G-400. after about 6 months of playing, I decided I wanted a second guitar. I saw a red, Randy Rhodes Jackson. I think it was an RX10D model. Not 100% sure the exact model. But I thought it was the coolest looking guitar I ever saw! And since I was a shred master and all, having a whole 6 months under my belt. I thought upgrading to a whammy bar was a good idea! End of rant, played for about 30 seconds, spent about 30 hours trying to get it back in tune, and sold it. And to this do, you could not pay me, to accept a guitar with a Floyd Rose. Thanks Digitech for the whammy pedal!
lol,I got a Jackson DK2 after 3 years of playing a cheap Strat clone and experienced similar thing...it took me 3 hours to restring and tune it for the first time. then I spent days searching how to properly set it,and after lots of tweaking it still goes out of tune whenever I dive, also notice that whenever I bent one string,the other strings would go out of tune because the bridge tilted a bit due to the increased tension. Eventually I lock the bridge with a Tremol-No and never unlock it.
Always wondered too. I spend more time with my floyd rose guitars these days, but apparently, on those old strat trems, you have to lube up the nut and saddles really good, make sure you have decent springs, then when you put new strings on, break in the tremolo bridge (like whammy it down, tune it, whammy it down, tune it, over and over, til it keeps tuning). It sounds insane, and I thought it was too, until I watched some guy do it, and his old school style Fender bridge stayed in tune no matter what. Mind blown. There's a good video of some guy doing it here on TH-cam.
It didn't. Diving would put it a bit out of tune just like a regular Fender strat trem. EVH would compensate by giving a quick pull back on the trem to return it to more-or-less decent tuning
@@JayFFAFAlesanaES He did when they finally came out, but before they did, like VH 1, that's an old school Fender strat bridge. You can see it in old pictures.

When you use 012 gauge tuned down one step the bar sort of doesn't work anymore, since you need to have 5 springs quite tight at the trem cavity to equal string tension.
That's correct i used a several times My whammy bar when i bought My first electric guitar after just i Made bendings leaving the bar because i Lost it
Amen to that. Change strings to a different gauge on a Steinberger R-Trem and be tuned up ready to go in five minutes. That ain't gonna happen on a Floyd Rose...
I found that a 10-sided die from one of my D&D dice sets blocks the bridge perfectly. I couldn't have _designed_ it any cheaper or easier, I just had to cut off the end of the back cover plate to allow access. I always had to take the stupid plate off to change strings anyhow, they wouldn't come out the same hole they went in because of the bends in the strings. That's no longer a problem, but the springs are still covered for their safety and mine.
Haha yes I did exactly that, I tried the whammy bar I was like ''yes best thing ever'', then strummed the strings afterwards and was like ''yep, won't be doing that very often''.
Either one of two things happens whenever you use the Whammy Bar for the first time. You either turn into Herman Li and make Pacman noises or you turn into Kerry King and you demonstrate what Hell sounds like.
I played acoustic for 5 years before I finally picked up an electric. After my first time using the wammy bar it sat in my bag unused for another year. I thought if I couldn't move a chord up or down a whole step without my strings going completely out of tune, what's the point?
I remember taking my guitar in to some hole in the wall store to get it set up into a new tuning and the guy flicked my whammy bar and was like "do you actually use this?". Bruh, YES
I bought a guitar with whammy bar in september of this year. I can relate that. Ah, and also with humbackers, I had been 4 years playing a cheap stratocaster with single coils, so now at least 21812 per day I play pinch harmonics and move the bar 21421 times more.

More like, "why is this bar clicking" "is it too loose?" "have I got a cheap bar?"
"Where is my bar?" "Does the American Standard bar fit my MIM bridge?" "Wait, what spring?"
Bar? There is no bar in a guitar. Bar is where I drink and also where I do my bar exam.

Admit it, you had to de-tune your guitar at the end? Those Ibanez double locking trems are really great at tuning stability
Exactly. If you have a Floyd Rose bridge or something similar with a double locking tremolo system, it’s going to be tuned to pitch for awhile.
nah, i was just playing the "beeeoooooouuuuuwww" till i got smacked in the head by wife

3rd fret harmonics actually require skill tho. anyone can hit em every time has my respect
Now you know how Hendrix felt, and why he was so good at tuning on the fly... (mid song)
Me with a regular Fender tremolo system, straight up facts.
One time I was playing with the whammy bar too hard that the spring fell off and I didn’t even notice lol

Accurate
That moment when you first learn you can't simply drop tune out of e standard with a whammy (without a certain device) and stay in tune ^^
When you use 012 gauge tuned down one step the bar sort of doesn't work anymore, since you need to have 5 springs quite tight at the trem cavity to equal string tension.
Using the whammy bar basically makes you Jeff Loomis.
Me: How long did it take to get that so perfect?
Bradley: Yes
I've been playing for years now and my time has yet to come. Every video i see just makes me want to play one even more.

You forgot to accidentally break one of the strings
That face he made at the beginning had me crying 💀

That was a nice SLAYER cover.
no one:
every slayer solo ever:
Newest Kirk solo just dropped
couldn't be closer to the truth
So true! the disappointment at the end
That face is the definition of the noise he used it to project
The best part is when one of the strings just goes ~snap~ and leaves you with a red mark on the wrist.
Absolutely the best part.
That's correct i used a several times My whammy bar when i bought My first electric guitar after just i Made bendings leaving the bar because i Lost it

So you're saying Everytime Kerry plays guitar it's his first time with whammy ?
It is my dream to make race car sounds with a whammy bar
The best floating bridge by far is the Steinberger one, I haven't tuned in weeks and it still perfectly in tune
Amen to that. Change strings to a different gauge on a Steinberger R-Trem and be tuned up ready to go in five minutes. That ain't gonna happen on a Floyd Rose...
