Dagan goes in depth with his favourite bit of guitar tech, the whammy bar! Wether you want to call it vibrato, tremolo systems, a trem, a wiggle stick, or whatever! From subtle spaghetti western swells and vibrato, to crazy surf tones, Jeff Beck trills and divebombs, the tremolo system is one of the most versatile bits of tech to happen to the guitar! It can be subtle, it can be crazy, but it's always awesome!

Tremolo is a modulation effect that creates a change in volume, while the "tremolo arm" on your guitar is actually vibrato, which is varying pitch. These both can be used to create similar rhythmic effects, but the way it is created is much different. Now that that issue is cleared up, let's dive deeper into tremolo.
A vibrato system on a guitar is a mechanical device used to temporarily change the pitch of the strings. Instruments without a vibrato have other bridge and tailpiece systems. They add vibrato to the sound by changing the tension of the strings, typically at the bridge or tailpiece of an electric guitar using a controlling lever, which is alternately referred to as a whammy bar, vibrato bar, or incorrectly as a tremolo arm. The lever enables the player to quickly and temporarily vary the tension and sometimes length of the strings, changing the pitch to create a vibrato, portamento, or pitch bend effect.
