What is a whammy bar?

The Guitar Hero guitar as a whammy bar. When you are holding long notes during a song, you can move the whammy bar up and down to "whammy."

No, a stop bar and a whammy bar are two different things therefore you cannot replace a stop bar with a whammy bar. It woluld make the sound a whole different tune.

they both have a whammy bar, the newer ones just don't come with the whammy on the guitar(for some odd reason.)

A lot of electric guitars have a threaded hole to put the whammy bar in but not all.

The tremelo bar on a strat is the Fender whammy bar example,while a tremelo bar on a Guild would be the Bigsby whammy bar.Fender also tried another design using springs housed into the guitar body.

just but a rubber band on the sideo of the guitar where you put the strap and the on the whammy bar (where it beggins) it brokn

If it is just the whammy bar itself and not the tremolo unit, depending on the type, then just rotate the bar anticlockwise until it screws off.

a fancy term for the whammy bar on a guitar

Either get your whammy fixed somehow, or you're screwed. Sorry.

It depends on the type of guitar and the type of bridge, but there's probably be a hole in the bridge of your guitar which you can screw the whammy bar into.

You push the whammy bar up and down very quickly.

same way a normal guitar but the fine tuners (things to tune on the whammy) you will if you don't want to unlock the neck.. easy right? that's if you have a Floyd rose or kahler whammy bar of course

You jump on it as if there is no tommorrow. :D

A whammy bar is an element that features on an electric guitar, which is purposely used for managing the control of the pitch frequency via alternating the tension of the strings.

Les Pauls are not made with a whammy bar in mind. They do not have the right bridge. You would need to modify the bridge and drill holes in the back of your LP to get a decent whammy bar fitted.

if it doesn't check out the ibanez forums, I was hanging out with one of my friends and she had a strat with no whammy bar so I took the whammy bar off my BC Rich guitar and because it was a different kind (floyd rose) it wouldn't work on her fender stratocaster lookalike. there should be no installation , just put it in I mean the metal is already prepared and a direct replacement…

1) its spelt whammy bar x 2)A whammy bar, tremolo arm/bar, or vibrato arm/bar is a component of a guitar, used to add vibrato to the sound by changing the tension of the strings, typically at the bridge or tailpiece. The whammy bar enables the player to quickly vary the tension and sometimes the length of the strings temporarily, changing the pitch to create a vibrato, portamento or pitch bend effect.

If you have just bought a guitar, the whammy bar will tend to not work off and on. If it is broken because of neglect or overuse, than yeah. Two possible reasons: First, if the whammy bar is pushed forward when the controller is turned on (possible because the guitar is laying on its face), the whammy bar will not work. There is a screen where you can calibrate the whammy and it will fix…

a real whammy bar yes, from cheap ones I started off with to the most high end guitars in my collection they can be unscrewed and put into a case.

If you're talking about whammy in battle mode, just whammy as fast as you can until it goes away. NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooob Some guitars seem to have a problem that the whammy bar won't sense when it is totally pressed down. If that happens you won't be able to stop a whammy attack.

well either buy an attatchable whammy or buy a new bridge that has an attached whammy or space for a whammy. This might take some cutting into your SG so i would get it done by a pro. ask guitar center

Whammy Bar - the tremolo (the stick for warping long notes)

Yes. the bar is just used to change the sound, and not needed.

Occasionally, rock band guitars are made of"cheaper" quality that guitar hero guitars, and the whammy bars is no exuse for cheapness. i expect your friend uses the whammy bar alot. either get professional help, or tighten it yourself. Unfortunately, that's not as easy as it sounds, and , do you really need the whammy bar?

no, Not all whammy bar screws are the same size. Especially if you have a Floyd rose tremello; alot of them are different. Most Statocasters are pretty much the same.
