play a note....or a chord
pull up on the bar to raise the pitch
push down on the bar to lower the pitch.

listen to some steve vai for accurate control
of the bar..
listen to jimmy hendrix. star spangled banner to
hear the "dive bombs"...pushing teh bar so far forward
that the strings go slack and flop all over the pickups..
(i think? is that how he did it?)

tuning could be a problem...for some people..
search the posts for a thread on this.
someone makes a product that will hold your trembar
in place while you tune (others suggest a shim) (piece of wood?)
and restring one string at a time....tune em a little flat..so that you can tune up to correct pitch...
(dont give up so fast on the trem bar..once you tame it....its fun)
:)
good luck
let us know how it goes
