    Video Transcript

    "Okay, in this example what I'm going to show you is another example of using 'wau'. And this one, it's going to be using it to give it a more slower, kind of rising effect. And what I mean by rising is going from the lows to the height of the mids, and typically it's...you'll hear in the Red Hot Chili Peppers, or several other examples. Of course, like more the 70's type funk stuff. So, basically what I'm going to be doing here is just stay on the E Minor 7 chord, and with my foot, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to be playing. I'm going to be going...and with a 'wau'. And just very slowly going back and forth. And so basically, all I'm doing is very slowly going back and forth. Just going back up with my foot, and just simply just...from a playing standpoint, I'm just doing like a quick strum. And basically letting the effect do the work."
