    Video Transcript

    "This example, I'm going to again use kind of an octave leg to show like sometimes you can use an exaggerated forms of wah. So, like in this one I'm going to go. And, what I did there essentially is I played again a D note octave on the G on the seventh fret. And, E on the tenth fret. And, essentially it's just kind of using it just to give it another dimension of an exaggerated kind of effect. As opposed to like rhythmic or complimentary using it just actually just a sound almost just kind of wild sounding within a song. Especially, like in the newer rock type applications. And, what I'm doing here is just going. And, what I'm doing with my foot is I'm just kind of doing a slow sweep on the notes to bring it in and then almost as a timing thing and also as an effect just going. Just rocking it back and forth. So, I'm going. So, it's not like I'm even trying to create something necessarily musical and melodic speaking. But, more as a timing and exaggerated kind of expression."
