"Ok in this a clip I'm going to show again playing wah in a, a variation of a type of a rock rift you can use over a basic drum beat. And what I'm going to do here is a, actually could probably be used more as a lead guitar lick. What I'm going to do here is a play over C Minor pentatonic going, playing a C octave on the eighth and eleventh fret. And then come back to the C on the eighth fret C and the G, then come back to the tenth fret G and B and do a little slide of an inverted chord seven on the D string, eight on the G to slide it up into key here to the eighth and ninth. And then, and then right here going on the eighth fret and end on C and so with the wah effect with the drums it'll sound like this. And so what you got there basically is you know, a cool sounding funky affect a, with a wah playing over an octave. And you know, a nice little inverted chord there sliding up there and a you pretty much have a slash, a Blues slash kind of a funky lick with a, a wah over a drum beat."
