Using Your Whammy Bar

I mean it when I say if they made one for an acoustic I’d put it on my acoustics. The Whammy Bar is a really cool thing to throw in, but like many at first I didn’t know how I could implement it. Here are 4 ways of using your whammy barre:

1)Dive Down

2)Dive Up

3)Tap

4)Tap + Dive
