Guitar Junkie Ep. 28 - Is this the best Whammy Bar?

[@hothilarity]

My dude… here I am, just watching reviews of a potential trem system, and I come across the most dynamic and intriguing playing I’ve ever hear. I’m a session guitarist who somehow manages to get a lot of “never heard anyone else play like you”.. I’ve truly never seen nor heard anyone play with that combination of acrobatics and feeling. Good work, dedication, and emotional translation

[@ritualee10]

SERIOUSLY great playing, Marcus!! Inspired and inspiring.

[@patrickbarnes9343]

Absolutely Amazing !!!

[@marcusdemlofficial]

Big THANKS Patrick.

[@CammedFox]

Gear reviews are always so much better when the person reviewing it can PLAY. thank you! This was very helpful. I'm going to eventually get an American strat in Sienna burst and thinking of slapping one of these on there.

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

My buddy and I are building 80s type guitars and blues rock machines and thinking about one of these on a super strat with stainless frets and humbucker in the bridge and single coil in the neck. ♥️🤘 Great demo. Be well sir. Tim..

[@marcusdemlofficial]

Thank you so much. The track is from Bandcamp. This was called Cinematic.

[@endtyme1345]

@@marcusdemlofficial Awesome tune Marcus!!! You should include it on an album...PLEASE! 🙏🏻💎💯

[@tintecobrizo]

your playing made me pop out of my chair with joy, truly inspirational!! marvelous!! i am definitely gonna try a blade runner trem when i can. as of now, the bladerunner comes in a version with highwood contoured saddles, which i aesthetically prefer over the blocky saddles. great stuff!! by the way, how do you do that trick at 1:34 where you press on the strings behind the nut, is that a way to dive bomb?? cheers!!

[@marcusdemlofficial]

Thank you very much. If you hit the G String on a good Fender Style guitar behind the nut, it should create a high D note. The rest you do with the bar.

[@moonlight-reveals]

Nice! I was just looking at this tremolo. I swapped my Fender Vintage tremolo with Wilkinson VSVG a year ago (due to flabbiness of threading in Fender tremolo over the time), but Super Vee looks even nicer.

[@marcusdemlofficial]

This thing rocks Vasily.

[@GazMoz78]

Come to the UK pleeeeeeeease!!!!!! 😘

[@marcusdemlofficial]

I'll be back Gary. Best Marcus

[@leddreamzeppelin1]

Fantastic whammy bar job!!! Perfect combination of "pure technic" and "melody"!!! And also - phenomenal left hand! Could you please tell about your approach to left hand development?

[@marcusdemlofficial]

Thank you very much. My approach to the left hand is simple. Only use the tip of your finger. Never the flat side. There is "sweet spot" on your tip that will improve your tone and ease. You can also practice with a hand mirror and try to make smaller,efficient movements with your fretting hand. I hope that helped. Marcus

[@leddreamzeppelin1]

You're the Boss Marcus! Always amazing.

[@Zakkrifice]

Hi Marcus, another tech geek question again: can you describe the tonal difference between a floyd and the super V? I know that one has a (spring)steel blade and steel block, the other has a tiny or mabe big brass block and a 2 point connection to the body. What are your considerations? Cheers and thank you for the music!!

[@marcusdemlofficial]

The SuperVee sounds more like a vintage bridge, but has its own charakter. Compared to the vintage bridge there is 0,5 db boost betweeen 800+1500 HZ and a slight cut above 3500HZ. I hoe that helps.

[@Zakkrifice]

@@marcusdemlofficial Wooow, thank you so much, that is a very specific and quantified reply. Do you by chance have that answer for Floyd agains vintage trem as well? That would be amazing. Because many people fuss about brass big blocks and stuff and thin tone.....and the vintage trem just has had a big steel chunk for ages without anyone complaining.....

[@marcusdemlofficial]

@@ZakkrificeFloyds have a very specific sound.The locking nut is the biggest sound killer. If you want to upgrade the sound of your Floyd use the non finetuner version and the big brass block. I've got good results with that too.That makes it sound a lot fatter...but still like a Floyd.

Hey brother I love your videos. You talk about the wammy bar but they put the guitar out of tune. But there is a product out that will blow your mind. It’s called the nut buster that you put on the neck and you can wammy hard all day and it stays in tune. I am not a sales person but a dude that bought one and love it. Please look this up and you will be for now on happy. The Nutbuster. Peace and keep making them videos brother

[@crowhaven200]

Great playing. You can play anything..lol. I don't see the link you pointed up to? What video are you referring to on how you set your tremolo up. Are you referring to FrudaTV? Can you post a link to it here in the comments Marcus? All my strats are set to float. Some do it better than others. I like the 6 screw better than the two post setups. Thanks for being here.

... Du klingst super mit der GItarre. Ich weiß nicht, an welcher 'Zutat' es liegt, aber der Sound in diesem Video hat ein anderes Mittenbild als sonst, was mit sehr gut gefällt, weil es sehr in die Richtung geht, wie ich meinen Sound gern habe ... LG aus OL :)

[@marcusdemlofficial]

Das Bladerunner hebt zwischen 800 und 1500 HZ etwa um ein halbes Dezibel an. Ab 3 KHZ gibt es eine kleine Absenkung um 0,4 Dezibel. Vielleicht ist es das Jörn.
