The one that I've never been able to nail correctly is Satriani's "Snake down the Throat" Grabbing a note, performing an upward glissando and diving the bar at the exact same rate...leaving a slightly wobbled pitch center, and the sound of percussive movement over the frets...Vai used it too.

The dive bomb Eddie did in the solo from “Without You” is awesome!

I was literally searching for a good whammy bar trick video last night and didn't find any I like. You couldn't have timed this any better

Love getting the notifications that you posted a new video, your Van Halen videos are amazing 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Glad to hear you mention Jeff Beck, that guy’s tremolo arm technique is phenomenal.

This is a freaking great video, I've always wondered how those sounds were achieved. When I was a teenager, I was at some church thing when I heard some guy make this crazy sound come from his guitar, but by the time I looked to see what was up, all I saw was his hand move away from the whammy bar, damn it, I was too late. That was probably 35, maybe 36 years ago, but dude it's like you hit the rewind button on my memories and then gave me the remote... Thanks for that.

As a made in the 80s guitarist I really loved this video, Cameron. Brilliant, bro 🔥🔥🔥

when the tone is so good you moan lol 8:14

I first learned the importance of the whammy listening to Ritchie Blackmore abusing the heck out of it with Lady Double Dealer and Alice Cooper had a song called Cold Ethel where there was a heavy whammy solo and of course Jimi Hendrix. There's so many possibilities with a good whammy set up especially if the guitar is routed out underneath the tremelo system where you can pull up on it and turn it in a circular motion. As Dime would say Get yer pull! ;)

That was beautiful! The sound brought me back. I miss the 80’s & early 90’s.

One of the best videos regarding whammy bar tricks with real life solos! Awesome!

The piece from “for the love of god” in itself earned you another subscriber. Rock on🤘

Excellent demonstration thanks so much!

Excellent instruction! Great chops.

I love your tone, vibrato and your whole playing. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina

Great tips and great playing too !

You gotta do the dimebag one where you dip the bar, and flick the g string with your fretting hand, and while bringing the bar up, you quickly hit a harmonic with the fretting hand. Like 3rd fret. Or the satriani where you dip the bar with your fretting hand, and do a pinch harmonic on the way up, or the opposite, do a pinch harmonic, then dive.

That tone is excellent!

Cool lesson.. impressed

Joe Satriani's "Lizard down the throat" effect, from Ice 9: Play a note on the G string, low on the fingerboard, and while sliding the note up the fingerboard, slowly bring the bar down at the same rate so that the pitch stays the same as close as you can. When you get to the top of the fingerboard, slide back down while letting up on the bar in the same fashion.

Thanks buddy this video is awesome. Can’t wait to learn them on my guitar.

Great video! I've never seen these shown before. I don't remember where/how I learned them other than a few seminars Dimebag hosted and showed some of his tricks. I think I figured some of them out clowning around. Trem bar's cool! So many things can be done with it that almost no one does anymore.

Cool...the only one I know, and always gets people to stop and listen, is to have some gain, turn the volume up on your amp but roll your guitar volume down. At fret 12 pluck both the low and high E harmonic at the same time then quickly roll on your volume to loud. Pause for a sec then slowly raise the trem bar. The sound is other worldly as the low E note tries to catch-up with the high E. It's a freaky trick that you can ride with a drum and bass behind you.

I know this sweet trick where I never touch the whammy bar.

Wow you crammed a lot of ideas in this one! Thank you!

I have that same purple San dimas which I bought after seeing you with it. It's my first guitar with a floyd rose too because I e always used my American strat before that.
