3 Whammy Bar Blues Tricks

This new tutorial covers 3 standard whammy bar tricks in a blues style:

These are the standard tricks of the trade you hear whenever a blues player grabs the bar.

The previous tutorial on whammy bar was in a rock style and covered more basic info about how the bar works, how to keep it tune (or try!) and approaches the techniques from a rock player perspective.

But no matter what style you are playing, the basic ideas still apply:

1. Use the bar musically.
2. Aim for specific pitches.
3. Aim for specific rhythms.

And most of all, have fun with your whammy bar!

I’ve also added another old song to my YouTube channel, “The Seas Of Discontent”. 
 
 
Enjoy!
