Guitar/Vibrato Bar Techniques, (Tremolo bar, or whammy bar, or Vibrato bar.)

The tremolo bar was originally only found on Fender guitars, but now they are on many types of electric guitar. Unfortunately, it has an inappropriate name, because "tremolo" means a fast succession of two different tones. A more accurate but less common name is the vibrato bar, and they are also known as whammy bars.




In general, it is good to learn to hold the tremolo bar between your third and fourth fingers, so you can use the bar and hold a pick at the same time.


This section will provide a description of how to accomplish various techniques, but it will be up to the guitarist to discover how to perform them.
