It should be -5 instead of -7, my bad, and indicates the 5 semitones the tones are dropped with the use of the bar, which is a rather extreme use of it compared to the vibrato described at your link. Like this, but in reverse: http://youtu.be/ROVm0NQrS0o “w/bar” is the common notation for the use of the whammy, but in tab notation some kind of indication for the interval is needed, thus the -5. -- Peter Crighton | Musician & Music Engraver based in Mainz, Germany http://www.petercrighton.de
