Hi GMC and welcome to my new lesson.
Today we will focus on my favorite subject - phrasing
I'll try to show how phrase using whammy bar.
Floyd Rose type tremolo is a very delicate instrument and we should use it with care.
It something like a playing violin or trombone, when you have only your ears to control the intonation.
I wrote a simple song which contains several whammy tricks: vibrato, dives, releases.
So, feel like Steve Vai and make your whammy sing! :)
I usd mostly A major scale and F#minor pentatonic scale.We are going to use:
-whammy licks: vibrato, dives, releases-slides,
-bending
This is the preset I used for the POD XT live for this lesson:
Amp: MS 2003 Deity Lead Drive 7 - Bass 3 - Middle8 - Treble 7 - Presence 5
Cab: 4x12 1968 Green 25s
Rev: Medium Hall - Mix 35%
Delay: Digital Delay 120bpm (quarter notes)
Stomp: Vetta Juice
The lesson is available in the guitar pro 5 file, backing tracks included.
Have fun practicing!
