googling I found
http://www.hearandplay.com/main/the-purpose-of-the-whammy-bar

but I can't imagine if or how /"w/bar"/ is related to /\tiny \bold "-7"/ or
what /-7/ means here.

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.
