Distorted Wah Guitar Technique 3

Video Transcript

"Using the wah effects many of players favorite effects, as far as for solo's and part of what makes it so cool is just the unlimited usage, you could use with it, whether you're playing clean or, in this case, playing a distorted tone. During solo's, what I like to use it for is, not only just a compliment of my expression, I like to use it for accenting notes, especially bending notes, if I'm playing a bluesy or base lead, with a rock context. So in this example what I'm going to be playing is a D minor, pentatonic scale and I'm going to be starting on the twelfth fret, to a G, on the twelfth fret and then ten fret, on the B and E strings, bending up on the thirteenth fret, on the B string and on each note, kind of using the wah pedal, at the end of the notes as I'm bending them up and bringing in a nice slow sweep and, of course, a nice accent to the note. So, what I'm going to do here, is go (playing guitar). And so what I'm doing there "little noisy thing there," what I'm going to be doing is essentially adding to the bends, just giving it a nice slow sweep, on the bends, again to bring that nice flavor to the notes and to give it another dimension. So, up to speed, it sounds like this. And, again, using the wah, to add a nice little dimension into your licks or your solo's."
