"In this example, what I'm going to do is play some chords using the wah effect. And, basically I'm just going to do a simple D major and a C major. And, what I'm going to do is just kind of like show how the wah can be used. Say, like if you were having a verse part of the song and using the effect subtly as opposed to just going. So, in this example what I'm going to do is go. What I did was, again just kind of a slow sweep and bring it back down as I start the next chord. And, essentially what I'm doing with my foot there is you know just bringing the sweep up slow. Then, bringing it back down quick to get to the next chord. So, I'm basically moving in time with my chord change. So, again you know just like up to speed. And you can add it. It might be a nice effect to use during a verse of a song."
