Farbror Kudde29th October 2007o.....m.....g....!
Pavel17th October 2007It means you're hitting it at the wrong place.
Arrival17th October 2007I'm having trouble with the natural harmonics lick. I understand the technique but I'm not getting much sound out of the 10th fret. Any ideas?

Dunno m8! I didn't play on ZR tremolos. I can only say that Edge Pro bridges are really soft to use. No effort required at all
IDontWantThisUsername23rd August 2007I bought an Ibanez with ZR (Zero Resistance) tremolo today =D. But at the moment the name isn't comparable with the tremolo. It stays in tune if you even start trying to rip the strings out of the guitar(good thing of course), but there's pretty much resistance when I use the tremolo bar. Is that just in the start?
Do you think it will live up to its name when I have used it for a while?

omg that was soo sweet! i just learned it in full except the last lick isnt up to speed.... i got a fender and these ar real hard to push

There IS a whammy effect pedal, the Digitech Whammy pedal. however, it is pricey ($200 new)and not as good an a bar in terms of feel, sound quality and controlability.
- Pavel30th June 2007
IDontWantThisUsername: it's like 90% same tremolo! The difference is in cutting the ball. You have to cut it on Floyd but not on Edge Pro
jammer9130th June 2007Why dont they make a whammy bar effects pedal?
- IDontWantThisUsername27th June 2007
I might buy an Ibanez, but I wonder: How is the edge pro tremolo compared to other floyd roses?
- Pavel21st May 2007
Thanks David!!! I love that JEM!
- David OToole20th May 2007
Neat stuff Pavel! Tastefully played as ever. If I did that to my guitar it wouldn't speak to me for months
. That's a really nice Jem btw and well handled. David - Pavel18th May 2007
If it has a Floyd Rose bridge than it's good!!
- Mauricio18th May 2007
is the Jackson awesome with the wammy?
- Zag18th May 2007
I Love Jackson!
- Mauricio15th May 2007
is the JEM more sensitive with the bar than you guitar?
- Mauricio15th May 2007
I am so impresed, all of this material is incredible, I am speachless.
- Pavel15th May 2007
Everything on this site is my own stuff! Instructors are not allowed to make lessons of some famous band's songs!
And btw. i didn't play someone's song for a pretty long time now 'cause i enjoy much more creating my own stuff! - Mauricio14th May 2007
hey pavel, I wanted to ask you if this licks, this one and metal blues are of your own, or from a famous band?
- Pavel14th May 2007

shredmandan11th May 2007Great lesson,i think it was definatly needed and i will enjoy working on it.
Andrew Cockburn11th May 2007Yes, you're right - I should have said another reason to persuade my wife to let me buy a Jem
She'll let me in the end, she's pretty good about it, I just need to work it a little ...- Pavel11th May 2007
@FaithfullyForgotten: I love you too, honey!
@Andrew: That's why i always say i need a guitar with Floyd Rose type of bridge. And i just wonder - do you really need a reason to buy a JEM?? I think the look of it is just enough!!
@all: thanks guys! I was not too optimistic about this lesson but hey - you liked it! That's the main goal!! Thanks! 
Robin11th May 2007My jaws just dropped to the floor!!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!
- ibanez-freak11th May 2007

- Andrew Cockburn11th May 2007
Excellent! Yet another reason for me to get a Jem!! That's great Pavel, this is an area that doesn't get a lot of coverage, and I always wondered exactly how people like Steve Vai did that kind of stuff - Awesome, thanks!

- My notes
This lesson is for all those players who have a whammy bar but never knew what to do with it! Here is your chance to get in the world of whammy. Using whammy bar is not as easy as it looks. It always produces extra vibrations for all strings so you'll have to learn to control the noise and use whammy while still playing clean.
Note: tremolo on Ibanez JEM is very light so it's very easy to control it. Don't get discouraged if your tremolo is hard to dive. Try to get the most out of this lesson and i am sure you'll gain a lot on your right hand control after learning this one!
