So I've yet to go to bed..haha! I made this little video for everyone. There's probably already a lesson on it and it may be common knowledge but since there are so many of us joining in Emir's Satriani collab I thought this might be of some use to some people. Hope you enjoy

You can still do the third trick and grab the tremolo unit with your picking hand and shake hands. "Why how do you do Mr. Tremolo?" and he'll reply "WeeEeEeeOoEee"

Artemus, on my strat, after 2 divebombs/squeals my g and b go out of tune.. big:P Anyway to fix that?
Posted by: Artemus Apr 17 2009, 12:09 PM
Locking nut probably needed I'm afraid. How far can you g before it's out of tune? You probably don't have to divebomb so low to be able to create a good dip.
Posted by: Jesse Apr 17 2009, 12:10 PM
takes 3 very deep bombs:P
Posted by: Artemus Apr 17 2009, 12:12 PM
That's not too bad then Just try dipping the bar a bit until you nail it, then you know you've got two more dives left in your strat

Nice video! not sure about the last one though? you have to use your palm on the whammy bar? i already do this sometimes lol.
You don't have to - it's just something to try. Putting the bar in your palm allows you to dip the bar all the way down easier than with the fingers, so you can pluck strings at the same time. The same can be done normally - it's just a bit more effort. Big "scoops" between two notes can be done in the same way.
