Make sure the top locking screws of the saddle are tight and always keep your guitar in good intonation.
If it still detunes you should let a professional technician have a look at it.
If he can't do anything about it then you might want to consider changing the entire tremolo for a better and more stable one.
If you guitar is cheap then it is most likely that the quality of the tremolo it self isn't good and can't keep the tuning at 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.
Wah is an affect usually obtained through the use of a pedal that literally makes the guitar make a 'wah' sound every time a note or chord is played, and when used properly can sound very cool. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A whammy bar temporarily decreases tension on the strings which creates a different type of vibrato, basically in reverse, again when used properly can make a variety of cool noises. The tremolo as it is well know does have a whammy bar on it. This is how the guitarist controls it. All tremolo's are spring loaded. This allows the trem to either pull the strings tighter( higher pitch) or back off(lowers the pitch) them. The wah pedal is a totally different effect. Where as the whammy controls pitch the wah controls tone. The wah was accidentally invented and was said to make a guitar talk like a human. ================================================== The previous answer is very misleading. First of all, while some people have referred to the arm on the bridge of certain guitars as a "tremolo bar" or the entire bridge as a "tremolo bridge", that is incorrect. Tremolo describes fluctuations in volume, such as when a guitarist plays a note or chord and then turns the volume knob up and down quickly, creating a pulsing effect. The correct term for that bridge on Fender Stratocasters and many "superstrat"-type guitars is vibrato. That bridge allows the guitarist to change the tension of the strings while playing, altering pitch -- which is what vibrato is. That's why when a guitarist pulls and releases the strings on a guitar, that is also called vibrato. Now, when you say "whammy", it can refer to a "whammy bar" (a colloquialism referring to a guitar's vibrato bar), or it can refer to the DigiTech Whammy effect pedal, which does more extreme versions of pitch-shifting, such as full octaves (eg. U2's "Even Better than the Real Thing", The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army"). A wah pedal does not alter pitch. It alters the EQ (treble/mid/bass) content of the sound, the "tone". It's still the same note, only now it has a different timbre because you might be emphasizing the low frequencies rather than the high, or vice versa. A whammy effect changes pitch. These two effects are not interchangeable.
Basically you play a note or chord (chord works best) and hold it, let it ring, then you go right up to your guitar amp and hold the guitar right up to the speaker then you slowly turn the volume on the amp up until you hear feedback. And, while the guitar is feeding back, you can shake the guitar, or wiggle the volume knob a little to get a tremolo effect. Just mess around and experament.
To bend a "note" on a guitar. The player first plays a note by holding a string at a certain fret, once or while the string is plucked, the string can be "bent" by moving it either up or down. Bending the string results in a higher tension, thus raising the pitch of the note.
Eric Clapton composed and played the guitar solo in While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Take very good care of it.1. do not drop it2.put it in a safe case3.Do not leave it by irresponsible people4. Always hold it in the right positionBE A GOOD GUITAR PARENTLOL:)
To properly install and use a Fender tremolo bar on your guitar, first insert the bar into the tremolo bridge. Make sure it is securely in place. To use the tremolo bar, simply push or pull on it while playing to create pitch variations or vibrato effects. Practice using it gently at first to avoid tuning issues.
A guitar with a synchronized tremolo system offers better tuning stability and smoother operation compared to other types of tremolo systems. This allows for more precise control over pitch bending and vibrato effects while playing.
To use the tremolo arm on your guitar effectively, gently push or pull the arm while playing to create a smooth and controlled tremolo effect. Experiment with different amounts of pressure and speed to find the desired sound. Practice to develop a steady hand and achieve a consistent tremolo effect.

There are mainly two types of electric guitar tailpieces: fixed and tremolo. Fixed tailpieces provide stability and sustain to the guitar's sound, while tremolo tailpieces allow for pitch bending and vibrato effects. The choice of tailpiece can affect the playability by influencing the tuning stability and string tension of the instrument.
To play an acoustic guitar with tremolo, practice keeping a steady rhythm while quickly alternating between two notes. Use your wrist to create a smooth and consistent motion. Experiment with different finger placements and pressure to find the right balance for a clear and controlled sound.
Tremolo is a rapid back-and-forth movement of a note's volume, while vibrato is a slight variation in pitch.
You can protect your fingertips while playing guitar by building calluses, using proper technique, keeping your nails trimmed, and using fingerpicks or tape if needed.
A musician can effectively incorporate both vibrato and tremolo techniques into their performance by practicing each technique separately, then gradually combining them in a controlled manner. Vibrato involves a slight fluctuation in pitch, while tremolo is a rapid repetition of a note. By mastering both techniques and using them tastefully, a musician can add depth and emotion to their performance.
Yes, you can play Guitar Hero while using your wireless Xbox 360 controller. The wireless standard controller is all I play Guitar Hero with, the guitar is too complicated and the controller just makes everything easier. The only thing I haven't figured out about Guitar Hero when you use the standard controller is how you use the Whammy Bar. Otherwise, the controller is an excellent way to play Guitar Hero.
