Guitar Wah Pedal Tips: Am

Video Transcript

"In this example what I'm going to do is a "A" minor pentatonic click with the wah effect over the drum beat. And what I'm going to be doing this time is showing you how to play the lick, where you can use some rests, and chromatic licks and stuff like that, and give you an idea of variations you can use, playing rhythmically, but yet playing lead. So with the drums it will sound like this. So pretty much what I did there was I just start with the basics on the "7" fret of the "G", bending in at the same time, with my foot going up, and then the chromatic walk up from the 5th fret of the "A" string, which is "D", rest, and ending on the root note of "A", going; and on each note, throwing in my wah effect. So again it will be like; You know there's all different kinds of variation you could do of it. But again, just showing you don't have to be playing notes the entire time the drums are playing, just kind of play with the timing a little bit. Because as a lead guitar player your a little more free to play with the timing than the rhythm section would be."
