Hey y'all, I just got GH3! Question: When do I use the Whammy Bar?

You can use the whammy bar when you are on a really long note and it will get you extra points i think

[ThePete13]

Yep, It will increase your points slightly on long notes, but the real reason to use the whammy is when you have a long note for a star power, whammy as fast as you can to get up to twice the amount of star power or more. The more full "cycles" you get while whammying the more star power you get. so do it fast.

Have fun, it's really addicting!

[shrek4wii]

I know, it really is! Now, I've got another question. I make a few thousand bucks each gig, but by the time everything gets deducted (cars burned , et cetera) I an only left with 75 bucks. How can I control those deductibles?

[SantaClaws]

you can't

you can get more if you play better though

[sh0ebox]

actually it is not true that it gives you more points. the whammy bar is mainly used to get you extra star power on long star power notes. and also, you don't have to whammy as fast as you can because it's not going to give you extra star power... just so long as the note glows blue then you're getting extra star power. there is no variation on how much extra you get, as long as the note is glowing blue.

The deductibles are there to give you a good laugh. I thought I was getting jipped when I first played it, also.

he's right...i thought that if i whammy'd incredbly fast, it would get more star power, i found out that wasn't true, but it did help with the lou battle.

[Unwiired]

I have to say, congratulations!

using the whammy bar on sustains does NOT give you extra points. however, using it on star power sustains DOES give you extra star power. use the whammy bar for getting more star power and for battle mode of course.
