Whammy Bar Phrasing

Hi GMC and welcome to my new lesson.
Today we will focus on my favorite subject - phrasing
I'll try to show how phrase using whammy bar.
Floyd Rose type tremolo is a very delicate instrument and we should use it with care.
It something like a playing violin or trombone, when you have only your ears to control the intonation.
I wrote a simple song which contains several whammy tricks: vibrato, dives, releases.
So, feel like Steve Vai and make your whammy sing! :)

I usd mostly A major scale and F#minor pentatonic scale.

We are going to use:
-whammy licks: vibrato, dives, releases

-slides,

-bending

This is the preset I used for the POD XT live for this lesson:

Have fun practicing!
