Harmonic Squealing, like Steve Vai and Dimebag Darrell Abbott.
This is gonna cost ya!
With the amp cranked and easily obtainable feedback is there for the taking, flick the open G-string, dump the whammy bar, and pluck a harmonic on the string as you raise the pitch with the bar. It takes a little practice but in no time you will be laying down some tough sounding licks that are to die for!

I'll have to try that. I found a video on youtube, just type in dimebag squealing lessons. I am going to download it and watch it repeatedly until I get it down. I been playing 20 years but never tried that. Thanks man!

Sorry my 1962 Fender Telecaster dose not have a wammy bar. My acoustic is a 1948 Martin 000-28 and it is hard to get feedback on a acoustic.
Steve Vai and Dimebag Darrell are ok, but I would rather take my lessons from Chet Atkins, or Jeff Beck.

the only thing i can tell you is to listen to others. basic blues on the bass is not that hard providing you have the feel for the music to begin with. you can listen to what others play and pretty much use the riffs you like and incorporate them into the ones you know already. the bass is also part of the rhythm section, and has to be totally in sinc with the drummers bass pedal. jamming with other musicians will help you the most. you can sit around and practice all you want, but all youll get good at is practicing. if your having trouble in the beginning, take a couple of lessons. use your fingers instead of a pick, and use your little finger on the fret hand as much as possible. have fun

That is a cool trick, but I usually don't use whammy bars. I knew about it from before. I play blues-rock, and, IMHO, I'm pretty good at it because after years of practice I should be! I conservatively rate myself about a "7" on a 1 - 10 scale, but more realistically I'm approaching 9 or 10. Still, I think its up to the audience to decide - not me. Even the best in the world can always stand to improve. I base my own self-rating in large measure on the audiences reaction to my playing. Rock on!!!

Wanna hear great squealing? Check out the guitar work from (the ex-guitarist from the band Mr. Hyde) Steve Smith on the tune Weeping Demons on www.indabamusic.com. F*ck that guy can play!!! I'm trying right now to play the lead breaks off that song and I'll try this new trick and see if it works. Thanks..........

metal, punk, hardcore, prog rock, most other forms of rock.
and yes, that would be the trick dimebag used, and it is very fun, though my trem is crap and it detunes every time i do it
