Oh, and another thing, when pulling back on the trem arm, how hard can you pull without the risk of snapping strings?]]> Guitar Players Discussion simon@home.co.uk https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tremelo-arm-technique/#post-73463 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tremelo-arm-technique/#post-73408 Fri, 22 Oct 2004 04:30:43 +0000
While that effect is flashy, THE place to start is with control like bends, practice specific intervals. Play two notes, one after the other, then play the first one and use your trem to get the second note, then release the trem and hit the same note again. With some practice, you should be able to consistently bend some fairly serious intervals.

Physical tip: Grip the arm instead of just smacking it from the top. A lot of beginners just whack it :roll: and while that is a way to get a neato percussive effect, it doesn't help you learn to control your trem very well. Good luck.]]> Guitar Players Discussion undercat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tremelo-arm-technique/#post-73408 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tremelo-arm-technique/#post-4474 Thu, 21 Oct 2004 23:34:07 +0000 To be honest i'm pretty crap at using the tremelo arm.
