Members theManfromAlabam Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 Never learned because I always had fixed bridges, I've had a Strat for a few years and just realized I could do a dive bomb having a trem and all:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gennation Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 Just hit that low E string or a harmonic on any string and just push that bar down as far as it'll go with out breaking or putting a hole in the guitar Using distortion and a long echo help get that classic 80's/EVH sound.

Members Music Calgary Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 *Do not* push it as far as it will go, push it as far as you need to achieve the effect you want and not a tad further. Control. The divebomb is all about a sudden dramatic drop in pitch. Use them judiciously at shows, it can get old fast. BTW Zakk Wylde simulates them well without a whammy by tapping on a note and then bending it into a pull-off to a much lower note. Also a great lick.

No criticism to Dimebag -- check out old live videos of EVH, some absolutely jaw-dropping stuff in there. Mathias Eklund is a must see also.

Members Brenner Posted September 2, 2008 Members Share Posted September 2, 2008 You can get a really nice rising scream(rather than falling) by pushing the bar down fully then touching a natural harmonic as you raise it back to regular height. Some people mask the sound of scooping the bar by sliding a note backwards and pulling off at the same time as the scoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a great lick. There was a good Guitar World article on how he does his whammy-like tricks without a whammy. I'll try to dig it up when I get home tonight, but if anybody can track it down in the meantime, good article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
