This probably isn't worth saying (that's why I havn't started a thread) but there's a tiny thing about CoB in this month's Guitarist magazine, they're just in a list of shredders or something.

The best way to get this affect is to have the whammy bar tightened enough so that it will stay where you put it fairly well... turn the bar so it's pointing in towards the neck.. and "pluck" the bar hard but very quickly (i.e. don't pull the whammy bar more than a centimeter up) and release the bar as fast as possible.

yep, thats how i do it, i make an "O" with my index finger and thumb, and i put it around the bar, and just pull up, and let it slip through the opening in my fingers.ill make a video of it later, after i move my computer to my house.gkelter said:

Haha.. i wasn't trying to say you explained it wrong.. i was just trying to be more specific because i could imagine people trying to do it and not knowing what the fuck you were saying 
I tighten up the bar as said and smack it with my hand until it makes said noise!
I turn my bar backwards and push real quick so that it snaps back up. Much more showy than just pulling it upwards. Not that I do it like that to be showy that's just how I was taught.

you can also pull up slightly(thats why he said not more than a cm, your strings will pop otherwise) on the bar when its in normal position

Ah yea... that would help. I figured you guys would realize a fully floating tremolo would be required.. being that I said you need to turn the bar backwards and pull it up!
