just wondering how I make the sound of a motorbike starting up.

I've done it before but cant remember.

I was slidding a bear bottle on my strings this morning and it sorta sounded like it, but wasnt it.

cheers
 
You need a locking tremolo (floyd) As you pick the last string 6th E or B for seven string then slowly push down the bar all the way down until it flutter :)

buy a motorbike.
 
the guy tt sold me my guitar today did it.. he was showing me the stuffs n such n than i hear vroom vroom..
 
Actually i prefer calling the shredding sound the "vroom vroom" sound. U know when u play a fast lick with only the first 3 strings. 3 5 7 3 5 7 somethin like tht. Haha..it sounds like vroom vroom to me. On neck pup.
 
tried a float bridge ... bend it and strike the lower E and slowly let it go up and bend it down again ... it'll work :)
 
I was at the Marine Cove jazz thing where one guitarist made a pretty lousy tone setting on his distortion, and when he did pick scrapes on the bassstrings, that sounded like a motorbike starting up. And died.

Can try twiddling around with your distortion for a bad tone, do some weird strokes with your pick, and you might get that bike sound. Good or bad ones, I dunno though....
