Members TornadoShaunUK Posted May 16, 2005 Members Posted May 16, 2005 Just been watching the video for Bon Jovi's "Living In Sin" off their new jersey album, top ballad, I noticed during the solo the solo at some points Richie seems to brace the neck at different points whilst holding a note.. Im not sure if he does this for sure or if it helps him hold the tone or what - can anyone tell me why he might do this?
Members Joe Merlino Posted May 16, 2005 Members Posted May 16, 2005 What do you mean by "brace the neck"? Are you talking about the position of his thumb? (Left hand?)
Members michaeldavid Posted May 26, 2005 Members Posted May 26, 2005 Without having seen the video, I can only speculate that he may be bending the neck to achieve a mild whammy bar (tremelo?) type effect. I've seen a lot of players do this, including some killer pros on very expensive guitars, but I can't bring myself to do it to mine I've also been experimenting with detuning strings and pushing on the strings behind the nut lately - cool stuff, overall.
