And, I'm just going to like a G major scale. Which, is simply starting on the third fret. Five-seven on the low E, three-five-seven on the A, four-five-seven on the D, four-five seven on the G, five-seven-eight on the B and five-seven-eight on the E. And, essentially what I'm going to be doing is going using my foot on each note. And, then. And, just start slow. End on G there if you want. And, also keep in mind too as far as picking you want to go down-up-down down-up-down-down-up-down and so forth and son on and coming back up. Down-up-up-down-up-up-down-up-up and so forth. And, so you definitely want to keep the same picking pattern with even despite using your foot. And, just basically using your foot as the timing. And, just practice it until you can get it up to speed. And, that's a good exercise to get you used to moving your foot with the wah and having it in time with your left or right hand."
