his ibanez is based from S series wich is very light. Im ever did nearly as him with my schecter guitar, and the normal strings are strong enough to counterback against the tremolo pressure

The reason that Herman Li is able to pull out the whammy bar during his solos is because the whammy he uses has a rough brush-like end that allows the bar to be both pulled out easily when needed and yet still stay in solidly when inserted back in.

one problem with the ZR, seems to me it only can handle 009-042, because i got 010 installed on mine and when i got home from the guitar shop, and yes i do use the ZR tremolo violently, the a string broke, and before that it was the d string, did i get to big a size installed?

Clever little tricks! I however don't have whammy,however,that's not stopping me from experimenting with various ways of getting intersting sounds! I play many world instruments,so one fun trick I've been toying with is a wah peddal on an electric sitar! :D

"i hope u guys had a good fun" lmao his accent

Holy shit American be shitting on him because he plays rock n roll and he's Asian. People need to not be racist with these stuff. You guys need to check out Asians playing rock. X Japan's Hide is a good guitarist you could check it. But serously though stop dissing on people if they are not better then what u think they are. Just apreciate it. You can talk shit all you want once you play for a big audience and stuff. But being a musician is about having fun not competition.

If you still don't know, you gotta do a natural harmonic and slowly press the whammy bar all the way down.

@AFacemarkedbyFea How to activate the subtitles? xD

I don't get the break your guitar string noise. Anyone?

herman li is awsome XD nice guy to met him today along with the rest of the guys the rest are awsome aswell :)

i know nothing bout music so this might sound dumb but can these effects be done on any electric guitar or is it custom?

whats happen with him ? when he is the key to the new car ?

@krishroc It's a Hot Hand Wah, made by Source Audio. I think it's about 300 USD or something within 100 of that.

@slay444pt its ibanez's version of a floyd rose or "floating" trem. they are available on many guitars and they never go out of tune. ibnez uses its "edge" trem. but other ones available are floyd rose, khaler, and a few no name brands that dont really preform well. you can get one installed at your local guitar shop where thay can better explain it or its availably on many guitars for purchase. you can even contact me again if you want to learn more
