Trying Aversion Therapy For My Wang.

[sergiodeblanc]

I gotta a bad habit of using my trem too much. I'm constantly wiggling notes with my whammy and I need to cool it. Sure, I could just use my other PRS with stoptails... but that's a short-term solution.

I need to relearn that not every note should be bent, and not every chord should be warbled. I need to break my wanger dependency, so I thought of this really great idea of taping a 9 volt better to my trem arm to give me a shock whenever I grab it:




I don't recommend it for everybody... and it hasn't really helped me yet, but I'm actively trying to become a better person.


What bad habits do you have when you play guitar that you're trying to do something about?

Why don't you take it off

 

[xjbebop]

If you haven't started losing your eyesight already. ..
you need way more than 9v for shock therapy to be effective. I recommend a micro-start set at least at 200 amps...

Why don't you take it off

Are you gettin' fresh with me?

If you haven't started losing your eyesight already....

Why is everybody always commenting on how poor my photography skills are?

Your circuit appears to be a little short :vroam:

Maybe the trem block is too big, ever think of that?

 

[bodia]

Ahhhh.....if only 6 was 9......

Drinking ipecac margaritas while watching Jeff Beck videos may be more effective.

 

[robjob]

too much trem? I find that revolting

 

[wardog]

so your deliberately trying to block your @#!#@ I can only suggest hypnosis. maybe a thought of your grandpa in his underwear every time you grab your tool.

 

[rugerpc]

I've got it!

Paint all your whammy bars BLUE!

 

[Tosca]

I've got it!

Paint all your whammy bars BLUE!

If he keeps grabbing it it'll turn blue eventually....

So is a Sunbeam battery a better deterrent than a Duracell?

 

[markintime]

It needs an extension cord and plug it in. That might light things up. Or you might see the light. Or ....

 

[solacematt]

Hasn't anyone told you more then two shakes is wrong

 

[sergiodeblanc]

It's kinda backfiring on me... I now have this terrible, quick, wiggly vibrato thing going on. I'm gonna go learn some Metallica solos before taking it off.

I tried it and it "works" (I thought a testimonial might be needed at this pointroud

No pics of Sergio's gramps, but there is a pic of an old guy in his underwear floating around here...

 

[Brad737]

I don't think you're grabbing your wang too much. Sounds like that's just your style. Should Riley B. King have stopped with his vibrato? Should EVH have finger tapped less (well, maybe...) I say relish what makes you you.

When I play my stoptails I feel restricted. I grew up playing floyds so trems became part of my bag of tricks. Isay don't be embarrassed, Wang away!
