=== Slide to Nowhere ===
'''This technique uses contrary motion by sliding up the frets on one or more strings as you push down on the whammy bar'''. The trick is to time them so that '''they are increasing and decreasing the pitch at the same rate, so that it doesn't sound like the pitch is changing'''. Once you've gone pretty far (~7 frets), you can reverse directions by sliding down while decreasing pressure on the bar to continue the effect. Or you can release the bar quickly, so the pitch rises very quickly, like you stored all the energy from the slide and are releasing it all at once.
