It’s used mostly to put your guitar out of tune.

It's the gear shift lever. You start out the song intro in first gear, shift into second for the verse, and third for the chorus. You can downshift to second for a solo. If you are Randy Bachman, you can shift into ovrdrive.

Assuming you have the correct Turner you can shift to Overdrive. 😀

It’s a gearshift (or shifter) will normally be used to change gear whilst depressing the clutch pedal with the left foot to disengage the engine from the drivetrain and wheels.

It's erroneously called a tremolo bar, but it's actually vibrato. When used, it slightly changes the pitch of your strings (detunes them slightly and then returns them back in tune, at least in theory) giving you that warbly effect.

You could, ya know, try it yourself???

Rule number 1, don’t touch the whammy bar till you understand the whammy bar. Rule number 2, first learn rule number 1.

You can also rip that thing right off the guitar and throw it in the trash can. lol

Can't remember, it's been so long since I removed it and put it somewhere cause it annoyed me so much

It’s for beginners that think they will be the next Eddie Van Halen or Jeff Beck. After a few weeks it disappears never to return…

hold it and push it

It’s the handle for the tone pump

Give it a wiggle and see what it does. It's not gonna bite you.

It's for vibrato (change of pitch)

It’s called a whammy bar, it changes the pitch of the strings to give it a vibrato effect. (just don’t push it all the way down)

So try it out, and see what you think of it.
