    Video Transcript

    "In this example, what I'm going to show you is using wah during say actual lead guitar. And, or when you're using the solo. And, pretty much what I'm going to do is be playing out the A minor pentatonic scale. Which, is the notes I'm going to be playing in this example. Which, will be simply out of the scale starting on the fifth fret on the D string. Five which G A C and D. Those are the notes that where I'm going to be playing at. Five-seven-five-seven fret wise. And, what I'm going to be doing with the wah pedal is again it's just showing how you can kind of accent the notes and just be basically playing with the rhythm of your lead of your lead playing. So, essentially what I'm going to be doing here is going. And, what I did there was I bent up on the G on the seventh fret. And, so I'm just basically using my foot in motion with my hand. So, I'm going. Played slowly, my foot is going to look like that where I'm just going with the rhythm of how I'm playing my lick. So, I'm going. And, each note is getting that nice little sweet wah effect. In this case a little quicker. Because I'm playing the solo. So, I'm going. And, a lick like that can be a nice intro or something used during a solo in the middle of a song."
