I use my Wah on songs that you would expect to use a Wah, Bob Marley's Stir It Up, or I Shot The Sheriff (think Live At The Roxy version) but also on songs you might not. We cover The Meters instrumental Cissy Strut, and where the original goes with a nice Hammond B-3 solo (we don't have keys in our band), I do a kind of extended groove solo with the Wah. Works for us!

cheers :D


Ah! The all time classic. Or a bit of Super Fly - Curtis Mayfield.

Fenderfanatic, just get a nice clean tone, use the bridge pickup and pull a sixth or ninth chord - then wig out on your wah! Funky, man!

Or for something more driven and not hard, there's lots of Oasis that uses strumming through a wah. Embarrassingly good fun...

Enjoy - C

not sure if the song is your cup of tea or not, but Bulls on parade ~ Rage against the machine is a pretty basic song to learn some wah skills on.



+1 But wasn't Tom Morello makin a partial of the noise himself?

He's also big on the whammy pedal as well.

Summer Song by Joe Satriani
Lead track is done with a lot of wah...
Also, another song might be Souls of Distortion (by Joe also).

Paranoid - Grand Funk - Red album


Exactly what I was thinking. I still play it. Gonna need a fuzz box too, though.

This is the first album I ever bought. I was 10. Got it for a buck. Store had a flood sale. I'd just started taking guitar lessons. My teacher played and SG through a Twin Reverb. The rest is history.

If you want to go the Blues route, look for Wah-wah Blues by Earl Hooker.

Hendrix is THE master of the wah..... still after dying in 1970 .... amazing !
Clapton's ( with Blind Faith ) " Presence of the Lord " is a great example of a guitar/amp/wah pedal turned all the way up - still remember the first time I heard it .... :!:

good one. They're actually using a talk-box I believe, but the wah-wah works quite well.

You could be right - I always used a wah when playing it, never had a talk-box
