best wah wah solo

[sluice]

Hi, I just got a cry baby pedal the other day
and I was wondering what to play... Rigt now I know
sweet child o mine,civil war from guns n roses, enter sandman(metallica) and voodoo child (jimmy'the man' hendrix)

And I dont know what to play anymore, anyway wich song to you think is best(wich as wah wah in it)

[Jolly McJollyson]

Ha, I like "Enter Sandman," not sure why. Anyhoo...I think "White Room" by Creme (Eric Clapton on guitar) is a wah-riffic song. He uses that pedal like he's got a lead foot in that song.

I would say "WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!", but that is too corny, even for Jolly.

I agree with "White Room" as well. I'm not usually a fan of Clapton, or guitar that isn't quite shredding constantly..but its a really fun piece to play over, and Clapton does it well. I appreciate it now even more after seeing Michael Harris do it live a few months ago.

Yeah, so you can imagine what THAT would be like.

[Leedogg]

voodoo child, white room, sweet child o' mine

those are my 3 favorite wah-wah songs.

[SLY]

Joe Satriani : Love Thing , Surfing With The Alien , Crush Of Love

[Leedogg]

Good one's SLY, I didn't even think of those.

[metal_carnage]

I'd say just look into Slash's soloing.

He uses the wah almost as his only effect.
So you should probably check out the old stuff he made in GNR.

This apply more to ...hmmm... Kirk Hammett ? ;)

[SLY]

Leedogg - Yeah dude , Satch is awesome with the wah ... He's got one of the greatest wah tones .

[Slow Diver]

Anything by Dave Navarro..he uses it alot

[DreamRyche2112]

Try the Lines In the Sand solo by Dream Theater... its a cool song all the way around. Try the Crush of Love by Joe Satriani too... it mite be a little hard tho.

I have a Steve Vai Morley Wah pedal it's really nice.

Kirk Hammett is just picking some notes and bashing on his wammy.

Slash accualy uses it to make solos smoother, and more sensitive, you know, to realy make it work.
That what I ment ;)

But its true...

[Pantallica1]

Alice in Chains - Man in a box

Uses wah almost the whole song. Great solo too.

[metalisbest]

Voodoo Child by Hendrix or Vaughn
Under My Voodoo by Sublime...if you like em or not, check it out, that song is sweet

[SLY]

I didn't mean that Hammett's using of the wah more often than everybody is bad or something , I personaly like most of his solos ... And yeah, Slash makes any line sound more soulful and lively than anybody else , not just with the wah.

[jimmy navarro]

i would definately say an absolute phrase genius and wah handler of sorts is DAVE NAVARRO!!

[Sasuke199]

Sweet Child O' Mine has an amazing wah solo. I can play that song pretty well, but I have no wah pedal. I am going to be posting my cover of it on youtube.

[Superhuman]

Check out 'War' from Satriani's The Extremist cd, one of my favourite Satch tracks - excellent use of the wah over a very simply melody line. The insanely difficult and uber talented part of that piece is combining the subtle use of the wah and expressive picking/fretting techniques. He also used a regular unmodded Cry Baby on that track.

[ikeda]

If you want Clapton you should check out Tales of Brave Ulysses. When I think about rocking the wah that is the first song that I think of. He also leaves the wah open without rocking on alot of the Cream stuff just to tweak his tone.

+1 for War

[Geeetar4Life]

Clapton's White Room all the way. I love that wah solo.
