Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I hadn’t, until this past weekend. I played the lead on the Trans Siberian Orchestra’s O Come All Ye Faithful/O Holy Night medley. The last note is a high F which fades out from a long sustain after modulating down from a high G. In trying to replicate the technique of the TSO lead guitarist, I first tried to bend into the G from an F, then relax back to the F, but it didn’t work. I then tried to slide down on the frets. That didn't work either. I then tried a different technique where I went directly to G at the 15th fret, then used the whammy to bend down and hold the F. This captured the sound exactly. I don’t know how the TSO guitarist did it, but the whammy down technique worked superbly. Interestingly, the Bixby mechanism on the Hamer Monoco III didn’t provide enough variation to cover the full note modulation from G to F, but the whammy on my Strat covered it very well. |

Ever use a whammy to cover a full note down modulation?
