Well here's a whammy bar exercise for ya! It starts with some cool riffs
in A, the high double stops are probably pulled a bit up, but I'm not
sure. When you get to the whammy part the fun begins! The second harmonic/
wang bar lick is one of my fav Vai licks. Vai's playing on Disturbing The
Peace was great, it's one of the best rock albums there is!
P.S I think they tuned down half step when they recorded this thingy.
