VIBRATO BAR / WHAMMY BAR

WHAMMY BAR BENDS

The note is picked as shown, then the vibrato bar is raised and lowered to the pitches shown in brackets.

SCOOP AND DOOP

Scoop: depress the bar just before striking the note and release. Doop: lower the bar slightly after picking note. SUSTAINED NOTE AND DIVEBOMB

A Note is sustained then the vibrato bar is depressed to slack. The square bracket indicates a further articulation.

GARGLE

Sound the note and ‘flick’ the vibrato bar with your picking hand so it ‘quivers’. This results in a ‘gargling’ sound!

WHAMMY BAR VIBRATO

Gently rock the whammy bar to repeatedly bend the pitch up and down. This sounds similar to fret hand vibrato.
