I got a Squier strat for Christmas and it came with a tremolo bar. I am a new player, but I somtimes use the bar. When I use it, the bar drops and hangs to stay out of my way. Thats all fine and dandy, BUT I am practicing riffs and/or styles of the following: Rage against the machine, Joe Satriani, and others. I am wondering how I can make the Tremolo stay in place up by the strings without it hanging. If you need to understand more of what I'm talking about, here is a video link... http://youtube.com/watch?v=nkdrGrBQoik&feature=RecentlyWatched&page=1&t=t&f=b

Thank You

Just tighten it. And it will stay where you want it to. (turn it to the right more)

Thank you. I tried it and it worked... but it get harder to turn as you tighten it and it sometimes clicks when you tighten it. It does the same loud click whe nI take the tremolo off. Is that normal?

You're probably tightening it too much if it clicks. And yeah it's supposed to get harder to tighten as tighten it. But I'm not sure about the click when you're loosening it.

Wayyy too tight. You don't need to tighten it hard, just enough so it'll say put. Definitely shouldn't be making a clicking noise.
