The whammy or tremolo bar does not create a tremolo effect. It creates a vibrato effect. This is a common misconception, it should be called a vibrato bar.

For me tremolo sounds like when the sound's constantly changing between quiet and loud. The whammy bar doesn't do that but it changes the pitch of the sound and the word "vibrato" is often used to describe the changing between the higher and lower note, so yes, it should have been called vibrato bar instead.

I'm a violinist not a guitarist - producing a vibrato effect is ridiculously easy just by using your finger(s) on the string(s). Wtf is the reason for making a whole pain in the ass "whammy bar" that you have to fidget with?

@stroopwafelenjoyer

Жыл бұрын

@Nada Penny because of the frets (the bars on the fingerboard). These frets divide the board in discrete notes. Per fret is one note, no matter where on the fret you put it. When you try to play vibrato like on a violin your finger will always stay on the same fret, thus producing the exact same tone. Which is why a different mechanism is used to get vibrato. On violin, since the board is completely free of frets, any tiny change in finger position will have an effect on the tone, so you can use your finger

You're right in parts, it is obvious that the sound of the pickup has a strong influence on the final result, but most of the time your hands are on the ropes and that is where the wooden acting, after all is the wave vibration of the wood that will interfere in how the string will vibrate the maeiras can make a tremendous gain or a sound fatter. Now all I have to say is that all the components influence the sound.

While everything has an effect on the overall tone, certain things can be disregarded because of how minimal their impact is. The slightest temperature change can effect tone. But tone wood definitely has such a small impact that it can be disregarded. If you wanted to correct this video, you should have corrected the fact that not all guitars have tremolos and the effect itself isn't called "tremolo", it's called "vibrato"

Very helpful video mainly because of the "highlighting animations". 👍👌

Just a correction, the whammy bar creates a vibrato effect. Its a misconception, tremolo Is notes played rapidly in a consecutive manner, usually on 1 note.

thanks! very helpfull

They divided the guitar in 2 pieces so that we could see how tremolo works. At least it increased some on my knowledge. Thanks. Do Keep posting Videos like this.

What about hollows, semi-hollows, and electroacoustic guitars?

It hurts my eyes to see a beautiful guitar like that being sawed into pieces.

Fascinating!!!

Awesome video. Well said.

connect your electric guitar to tuner(i hve one on my pc) that also shows you the frequency and it will say 110hz,the high e string vibrates at only ~329.the a string on a violin is 440hz.

1:16 They have blurred something out there, left of center. Again at 3:22 . The logo?

how many times did he say pickup

That’s a damn good video!!

3:36 Basic physics tells us that the tension is the same throughout a particular string. Something else (resonance? harmonics?) make the bridge and neck pickups sounds different. Help me out, anyone?

@tvoommen4688

5 жыл бұрын

@MrKockabilly Harmonics? Yes. A com plete answer involves some maths and physics(statics) that are beyond the scope of musicians. So I will make it brief. All ropes, cables, strings, wires pulled between two points sag , even if tension is increased higher and higher -- only the sag curve (known as catenary) becomes less and less visible to human eye. This is because strings etc have got its own weight, hence gravity acts on it. To attain zero sag the tension to be applied is infinity (tan90 degrees), long before which the string breaks. So guitar string sag in the middle portion, there is a slack in this portion, hence more free to vibrate than the part closer to bridge. Now the answer : Because of the slack, neck portion's vibration will be rich in lower harmonics(bass tone); because of the absence of slack , the bridge portion's vibration will be poor in lower harmonics but rich in higher harmonics -- treble tone. So pickup's input varies in accordance with its location. Sorry for being too long !

'the metal lever'... great explanation

I'm pretty sure the A string is 220 Hz, as 440 Hz is the A above middle C, which is 1 or 2 octaves above the A string on a guitar

Tuned correctly, the A on a standard scale 6 string electric is a 'middle A' which is 440Hz. A can also be 27.50, 55.00, 110.00, 220, 880, etc...

110 hz, 440hz is at the 24th fret. Vibrato, not tremolo.

Technically a vibrato is a quick variation in amplitude whereas a tremolo is a quick variation in pitch, the effect of the whammy bar on the strings changes their tension and creates a tremolo effect, the change in amplitude being anecdotal and more of a side effect.

@rockonmady 440Hz is an A. Low E is c. 330Hz and high E is c. 1.3kHz.

So what was the purpose of cutting that nice in half?

ok now how does an electric guitar with nylon strings work (e.g. yamaha SLG 200N)?

They talk about the incoming current. But maybe more to the point is that the current in already there and the strings are inducing fluctuations in that current.

Thank you Maxwell!

I think quality (wood & shape) gives the dampening of the strings - technically it doesn't contribute a whole lot (sic!) to the sound. The phrase "two volt current" disturbs me a lot more. :)

My left ear sends it's regards.

I like how they censored godin from the headstock and body but not the pickups or tone board

Wait can you play an electric guitar anywhere? I always thought it needs to be plugged lmao xD

nice

But how about semi-hollow

It does if you chamber the body, and add wooden blocks for mounting the pickups. Also helps if it's a neck thru body. Lots of things contribute to a guitar's sustain.

However, the different woods you use can affect the sound. Besides the fact that les pauls have hum buckers and strats single coils, they sound different because usually les pauls are made with mahogany and a maple top and strats with ash or alder, which isn't as warm of a sound as the mahogany. Also the thickness of the wood matters too in the tone of the guitar.

I'm somehow absolutely unsatisfied with that explanation of how an electric guitar works.

some of the info on here is a little primary school - for example, the amplifier doesnt amplify the current, it amplifies the voltage (amplitude) and then the power.

Super performance

why is there such widespread confusion between tremolo and vibrato

i always thought the sound come from the guitar and that amp box is just the portable battery to power the guitar lmfao

I'm enjoying this video while sitting on the right if the man who speaks.

Actually the A string vibrates at 110 Hz, not 440 Hz, as the guitar is an instrument which transposes an octave down (from the notated score), and the A string is, in any case, an octave below the "Concert A" pitch, which does vibrate at 440 Hz (top string, 5th fret). Pretty rubbish info for a video that's supposed to be educational.

Pickups are magnets that only metal things like strings have an effect on their magnetic fields creating the signal that is sent to the amp. Wood has no effect on the pickups. Les Paul's and Strat's have different sounds because of diff pickups. Run the same guitar through diff amp and you will get diff sounds as well. Tone wood is a myth created by manufacturers to get gullible customers to buy their product over someone else's.

1:35 "it loosens or tightens the strings to create a tremolo effect"... This is incorrect. First, not all guitars have tremolos. Second, while that specific style of bridge may be called a "tremolo", this term is actually incorrect. It is actually a vibrato effect, and the incorrect naming of this system was due to Leo Fender getting the terms confused.

Interesting
