Hey everybody, it's Kenneth again.
use the whammy bar of a Jaguar guitar for example
And I thought I will show you my way how I use it.

not much you can do with it
Than banning it because this is what it's there for.

_ _ _ _ Hey everybody, it's Kenneth again.
Some people asked me how to use the whammy bar of a Jaguar guitar for example
_ And I thought I will show you my way how I use it.
I think there are a lot of ways
But I also think there's not much you can do with it
_ actually
_ _ Than banning it because this is what it's there for.
I don't have a plaque at the moment, but my
_ _ _ Fingertips should do it as well.
Yeah before I start
I want to [F#] show the effect without any amp.
Some my bloody valentine calls like this _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ Now with whammy
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [D] _
Just hit the whammy bar _ sometimes at the first note.
So [F#] like
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] I'm just doing it very slightly like like here _ _ [E] and then very [F#] fast _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Then it sounds a bit more shoegazing _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ You [F] can also do it every time [F#] like _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So [C] you're hitting the whammy bar very shortly every single time you hit the strings
You can also do it very slowly like if you hit the [F#] strings eight times
_ You _ _ _ _
_ [A#] _ _ could also try to bend the whammy bar the whole time you're playing the eight movement
_ [F#] You _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [A#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D#] _
hear that I showed from the other [F#] side
_ _ [C] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G#] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [A#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
Now I show you how it sounds with an amp _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [F#] and now with a whammy bar _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] What I like to do most of the time is I hit the whammy bar at one at four and then
At three like this one [C] two three [F#] four one two three
_ one two three four one two three
_ So just at this position then it sounds that way _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And because I'm moving the whammy bar all the time.
Sometimes it happens just out of the feel that you
bending it another
_ counting times just by accident just
_ Coincidentally, so [F#] with reverse reverb it sounds that way _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] So he is no whammy bar in it at all.
And now I do it with it _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ What I [D] do here is that I hit the whammy bar just one time very slowly in
Eight drumming movements like [F#] one two, three, four five six seven eight in the middle [A] of that
I'm bending very slow.
_ _ _ _ Look at this
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N]
So when you [F#] counting four then I start bending _ one two, three
Four five six seven [A] eight one two, three, four five six
Seven [B] eight one two, [F] three, [B] four five six [F#] seven eight.
Yeah _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So
This is actually everything I do and I think a lot of people do the same
It's also very funny to use the whammy bar when you're playing a solo you can hit the tone [G#m] that way
_ _ _ _ [Em] Or you can hit the tone that [G#m] way _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Just to create vibration
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [B] Or _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[B] you just drumming one single time and make the rhythm with whammy bar like this I _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C] Bet this is sounding awesome with delay if you have a lot of sustain on a fuzz or so
So these are some tools try yourself out with this
Don't forget to leave some comments [G] of maybe some techniques, you [F] know
