What's Hot

Here we are at the 100th Chord Of The Week, it's been fun! To celebrate, here is a look at a chord which gives you a convincing Chewbacca sound, brought to my attention by @viz!

It's a C7no3rdno5th/Bb, consisting of two notes - Bb on the fifth string at the 13th fret, and C on the 4th string at the 10th fret. The Bb is then bent up so it approaches a C and even passes it slightly. Watch the video below and be convinced!

    I will be using that beauty at next practice 
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    When I saw the title I thought it was reference to the size of hands needed to play -4-7-15-----
